GERMANOPERA
OPENS AT
POLTS

just year ago, the German
Opera Company came to-Wash-
ington on it's first American
tour. Last night the company
returned to Polls Theater to
inaugurate its second visit in
this country.
Ernest Knoch, whose splendid
conducting was well remem-
bered from last season took
his place before the musicians
and the overture to die Wal
kuere" filled the playhouse with
the majesty of music, for which
Richard Wagner is immortal.
But with the rise of the cur
tain upon this favorite of the
Nibelungen cycle, an inspiring
revelation was beheld. In the
year that has elapsed, the Ger
man Opera Company has de-
veloped from a provincial band
OF super voices to an operatic
organization, that well might
cause a furry among hereto
fore unrivalled institutions. I'm.
preSSarrio S. Hurok merits dis
tinct praise for his untiring ef-
forts to achieve this perfection.
Enthusiastic ovationS marked
the appearance of Madame
Johanna Kadski in the role
OF Bruennhi1de, for which she
Is internationally renowned.
She was again awarded for
her powerful acting and sing
ing in the third act.
Juliette Lippe was however,
the star of the evening.
"Seiglinde" a character she por-
trays with exceptional grace,
offers repeated tests, which her
beautiful soprano voice meets
with glorious confidence.
AS the score mounted to its
startling heights, Lippe fol-
lowed in voice growing steadily
richer. Her presence on the
stage is in itself an impelling
factor. Every dramatic gesture
was adroit and fully significant,
Her always perfectly placed,
crystal-clear tones maintain
their most notable qualities
even in middle and low
registers.
Rudolf Ritter sang the tenor,
"Seigmund" with great verve.
His voice blended effectively
with Lippe's in the rendition of
their love duet, while a tumult
OF applause awarded his rendi.
ton Of the famous sword song.
Gotthold Otter made a
praiseworthy Wotan. Carl
Braun, who sang the Hunding
gave a stellar performance.
Sonia Sharnova, reappearing
as Fricka, was in fine voice.
Sharnova has tonal power and
beauty carefully governed in
every instant.

ming proved an ensemble of So
loists rather than the usual
chorus.
It might be said Of the en-
tire cast, that the excellent
dramatization of ."Die Wal
kuere" was one Of its most i'm
preSsive features.
With such a group Of artists
portraying their difficult roles
under mastery direction,
against an admirable back
ground of Bayreuthian scenic
effects, the famous Die Wal
kuere" proved a complete tri-
umph.

ing. A batter makes q n base hit

ignoring the fact apparently that his
effort is useless unless his mates
make additional hits that he may
continue on around the bases and
register q score. THAT'S crazy
Isn't it?
There should be two pitchers, one
right and one left handed, In the box
and the batter wouldn't know which
one was going to pitch. The purpose
Of the pitcher Is to deceive the bats

to think one pitcher alone can fool
batters.
THE players are crazy to let ar

ought to be q judicial committee te
act upon every disputed decision.
And it is crazy to call q game or
