VacheI Lindsay
In Recital

Something new in recitals, at
least in this city, will be the
chanted recital given by Vachel
Lindsay, American troubadour, at
Central High Auditorium, tomor-
row evening of this week, under
the auspices of the Community
Institute of Washington.
Many of his poems, which are
read and loved in all English
speaking countries under the sun,
have been written to be danced,
and many to be played as games.
Mr.. Lindsay has gained a nation
wide popularity in his method of
presentation, for he. calls upon
his audience to join with HIM in
the choruses and responses, a
proceeding that never fails to
bring rapturouS enjoyment,
wherever he is heard.
Among his poems that will be
heard on Tuesday evening are

Dance Adherents
Hear Martin

An enthusiastic audience heard
the first of the lectures on the
dance and the drama which John
Martin, critic Of the New York
Times, gave at the Caroline Nc
Kinley Studio, 1881 I st. N. w..
many in the group plying the
genial speaker with technical and
artistic questions.
Mr.. Martin spoke on "The
Forms Change" discussing in in
formal fashion dance develop
ments from the days of primitive
man up to and including the
Mary Wigman phase.
The highest compliment to be
rendered the New Yorker is that
he is a lover Of his art about
which he is expertly informed,
bringing to any analysis of the
dance a splendidly balanced and
interesting perspective, without
the usual flub-dubbery of "art in
the abstract" or technique that
befuddles." AS a speaker, he is
most engaging. Miss Mckinley is
to be congratulated upon his ap-
pearance here.
His attitude toward the entire
art Of the dance is predicated
upon q thorough conviction that
man dances to express himself,
his emotions, his joys, his sor-
rows" and the success achieved
in any dance endeavor resides in
the completeness Of effect.
Mr.. Martin is the foremost
dance critic Of the country, and
his next talk, "A Practical Guide
to Modernism" on December 10,
will be awaited with interest by
the serious students Of the art in
washington.

Why Men Hurry

But the idea that a business
office is the modern equivalent
of hell strikes me as improper.
Except when they go tony and
are furnished in Louis XIV
chairs and coucheS, business
offices are extremely comfort
able and pleasant to look at.
A few years ago they were too
bustling and noisy for pleasure,
and their owners went away
for hours at a time to play
golf. eat lunch and conduct
business affairs. Now that the
telephone doesn't ring more
than twice a minute, the Of
fices are much more attractive.
and I have heard that lots Of
business men are so attached
to their places that they even
lunch there.
Purely as q matter of art, the
average American home has
never. been quite so we'll ap-
pointed as the average Ameri-
can office. It isn't hell. And
thousands of American busi-
ness men prove that 1t isn't by
rushing to their offices (and
away from their homeS) by the
earliest possible trains, although
they know perfectly well that
no one is waiting for them.

NeIO Epoch Is Seen

Baltimore Protests

I am not surprised that the
most vigorous protest against
my praise. of the PuritanS came
from Baltimore, a city un-Puri-
tan in its foundation and nobly
keeping up tradition in its hos
pitality to Mr.. Mencken. But
s. NJ. Edwards carries me into
forbidden ground when he asks.
"How do the PuritanS of today
Cannon, c. T. Wilson, etc.
compare with the tolerant pro-
GresSive spirit? What do they
offer the present or future, these
Puritans?" And he adds that
"to live life is a damned sight
more difficult than denouncing
life"
At the end of two years spent
in tracing the changes Of the
Puritan spirit from the time
of Jonathan Edwards to the
@resent, I discovered two things
that all the changes were for
the worse, and that the great
Puritans of the beginning were
truly great because they had a

Orchestra
And Bori
Score
Nv. WILLIAM MOORE

The glorious Lucrezia Bori,
star Of the Metropolitan opera,
shared honors with the National
Symphony Orchestra and its con-
ductor, Hans Kinder, yesterday
at the first of the Sunday after
noon concerts planned for the
season.
A crowd Of music lovers that
jammed every available nook and
corner Of Constitution Hall thun-
dered its applause of the efforts
Of Nine. Bori and the orchestra.
Thanks to the unknown person
who donated sufficient money to
enable the orchestra management
to bring Bori to Washington for
the initial Sunday afternoon pop
concert" the series got off to a
flying start.
The atmosphere of intimacy
that Mr.. Kinder and his men
have already built was enhanced
by the delightful personality Of
the beautiful guest soloist.
Has Amazing Voice
OF course, Bori was at her
best for an occasion Of this kind.
Her flute-like notes In the upper
register, her tones Of molten
gold in the lower stretches and
her flawless enunciation and ex-
preston were all that could be
desired.
On her first appearance Nine.
Bori sang the aria, "Di vieni non
tardar," from Mozart'S Mar
riage Of Figaro" In this she
was sympathetically and accu-
rately accompanied by the or
cheStra.
On her second appearance she
sang four delightful numbers to
piano Observation-Disclosures,
by Manuel de Falla, the Span
ish modernist; "Contares,' by OBJ
radores; "Seguidilla," a folk song,
and Turina's DOS Cantares."
The accompanist was Frederick
Bristol, a serious young gentle
man with exquisite technic and
execution, plus a. warm under
standing of the singers mood.
Oh, yes!-there were roses, a
great armful of American Beau
ties. And, of course, vociferous
applause, encores (three Of them) ,
and.kissing and deep genutlec-
tions. Which was as it should
be, for Nine. Bori is a prime
favorite of Washington music
lovers. Nowhere does she receive
so much heartfelt adulation as
in the Capital.
Orchestra Improves
AS for the orchestra-well, the
way in which Mr.. Kinder has
ironed out the wrinkles. shaved
off the loose ends and bolstered
up the weak parts Is truly
amazing. That man Kinder is
a genius, let no mistake be made
on that score! His dynamic per.
sonality has been fused into his
orchestra until now the musicians
play with an ease and assurance
that is astonishing.
The orchestra gave a credit.
able rendition Of Beethoven's 5
familiar "Lenore Overture" The
next offering was the equally
familiar "L'Arlesienne Suite" of
Bizet. They played it with an
the fire and birthstone, the
cameo-like artistry and smooth
tonal polish the suite calls for.
incidentally someone, possibly
Clyde B. Aitchison, should take
the prelude and arrange part of it
for male voices. It would make a
dandy devil-may-care chorus.
