The program was well rounded out
and received the favorable comment
Of all present. A double quartet
appeared in both the opening and
closing numbers. 1t was particu-
larly effective in the concluding song,
the italian Street Song" ('Naughty
Marietta"), with Edith Hoffman
Jones, coloratura soprano, carrying
the obbligato.
There were % pupils and the
Marjorie Webster Schools Glee
Club, which she coaches, on the
program All the performers were
in excellent voice and showed con-
siderable training. The outstanding
numbers, however, did not come be-
fore the second half of the program.
Jean Bishop, who showed great
promise with her expert handling of
I'll Bacio," by Arditi, was the first
to be recalled to the stand to take
a second bow, and Mrs. Jones elected
much applause by her singing of
"Ah, Forse' Lui" ola Traviata'O,
by Verdi Alice B. Haig displayed
beautiful mezzo voce tones in Iris,
by Ware.
Lorraine Esputa Bentley performed
pace, Pace, Mic bio" C'La Forza
del destino'), by Verdi, with full
ness that was vigorously applauded.
Her voice was well placed on the
high. difficult notes.
Erna Embrey gave a brilliant ex-
hibition of her art with her rendi-
ton of "EliZabeth'S Prayer" from
"TannhauseH" Then there were
Kathleen Hillyer and Myrtle Ballou,
who sang "Aufenthalt," by Schubert,
and Secrecy" by Wolf, respectively.
Outstanding among the male
pupils on the program were Earl
Nails, Paul CARRIER and Herbert
Parker.
The double quartet was composed
Of Mrs. Bentley, Mrs Embrey, Mr..
CARRIER, Mr. Nails, Mrs. Ballou, Miss
Hillyer, Mr.. George Lambert and
Mr.. Parker. Others on the program
were:
Nancy Burgess Simpson, Howard

Beverley O'Brien
In Debut at Arts Club.
THE initial concert appearance OF
l. Beverley O'Brien, contralto. and
one-tirne Tessa of the Washington
Civic opera Co.'s production Of The
Gondoliers," proved to be an aus
picious affair last night after the
first clouds of debutante nervous
ness had disappeared. Presented at
the Arts Club by Miss Marjorie
Lowe, Miss O'Brien gave evidence
that she is an excellent artist once
she gets warmed up" In fact,
toward the middle of the program
she suddenly threw a slight insecur-
lty noticeable in her voice to the
winds and emerged not only as a
charming singer, but one who has
that heaven-sent gift OF being able
to put a song across.
1t was perhaps in the Sidney
Homer Sheep and Lambs" that
Miss O'Brien first struck her best
stride. From this moment on she
was a delight to the audience-her
vocal accomplishments at that point
attaining their perfection, and what
had been heretofore not impeccable
breath control being suddenly ad-
justed and completely at her COM
mand. While Miss O'Brien's voice is
not overStrong, it has sympathetic
quality and a pleasing resonance in
its middle range. and she is so hap
PLY aware of what to do with it and
how to get strength out of apparent
weakness, that what undoubtedly
will be an extremely interesting
vocal future seems to spread end
lesSly before herr
Most satisfying last night were her
English songs and the final Sc
guidille' from Carmen" But this
is not to say that her German songs
and the aria 20 Don Fatale," from
Don Carlos" were negligible. They
weren't. 1t Just happened that they
came a little too early on the pro-
gram. AS for the De Nogero My
Love Is Muleteer," that was ad-
mirable
Victor H. Neal not only accom-
panied Miss O'Brien with a sensitive
touch and staunch all-around sup
port. but he played a group Of solo
numbers with skill that more than
deserved the encore which the audi
ence clamored for-and didn't get.

were particularly commendable, as
was the cantata 'Evangeline," by
Spross-but to the singing of the
various soloists and to the work of
Helen Oelheim, contralto, who is
known for the richness of her voice
and her fine methods of sustaining
it. She was given a warm vel
come Tuesday night and seemed
easily among the best soloists this
interesting club has had for some
time
Especial mention should be made
of the manner in which Mr.. Robe
son handled his voice material in
the 'Evangeline." Clear-cut die
ton and smooth tones, and the
blending of one part into another
made this undoubtedly one of the
best works this club has attempted.
The soloists, Elsie Schulze, soprano;
Edith White. contralto, and Herman
Fakler, baritone, did their work
admirably, too.

ration of the George Washington
Bicentennial and arranged for wom-
ems voices by a Washington COM

It is strange that the fashionable
two-piano recitalists have not dis
covered it, for it is well balanced
and brilliant composition.
Following came Miss Bernier,
graciously substituting for Miss
Morrison on very short notice. Her
first group was as follows: The
Chopin "Fantasie Impromptu,"
Debussy's "Clair de Lune" and
Saint -Saen's "Tocatta" Especitlly
did she succeed in holding the in
terest Of her audience in the de-
lightfully done Clair de Lune."
In the "Tocatta" she seemed also
temperamentally much at home,
sustaining its fire and brilliance
throughout and finding its varied
technical difficulties none too much
for her. In the first movement Of
the lesser known Mozart Concerto
in G Minor" (the orchestral part
on second piano by Mr.. Garzia)
with which she ended her part OF
the program, the delicacy and re-
pose were marred by the persist
ence of street noises. She is new
to this series-only a perspective
member of the club-and she prom
1seS to be an interesting addition.
Betty Baum, formerly pupil OF
Pearl Waugh, has appeared this
Winter before well-known Wash
ington club audiences in recital.
She has decided talent and to those
who have watched her from a child
not the least interesting part is its
steady development through her
serious application. 1t was indeed
no little accomplishment for
young player to have gene entirely
through the long, difficult Saint
Saens Concerto in G. Minor" with
out a technical blemish, making
light of all its somewhat superficial
brilliancy. However, We really liked
her best in the more modest and
very familiar Scarlatti PASTORAL
and capriccio. Here was delight
full delicacy, great clarity and just
the right amount of pedal to make
1t excellent harpischord style. The
Lszt-Bach Organ Fantasy and
Fugue in A Minor" was done well
indeed, especially the handling of
the long fugue.
Between the numbers Mrs. Hes
selbach was introduced to the au-
dience by Mrs Morrison, as the
first of the Washington teachers to
cooperate with her in the begin
nings of the club, now 10 years old.
Mrs. Hesselbach then spoke briefly
of the value of the club from the
viewpoint of the teacher who sends
her pupils to join.

brave display of resistance to adverse

Railroad stocks led the market

forts went forward with purchase OF

bringing the total addition to $ooo'-

Except to say that obviously tne
stock market needed fresh stimulus
brokerage houses were rather nom
commital about the latest reaction. A
week ago some circles professed to feel
moderately encouraged. but the an
sence OF support so clearly evident
Friday brought home the extreme
t;midity of investment funds. Proo.
ablv the best that could be said about
the market is its dizziness.

day night when he barely outpoint-
ed Jimmy Braddock of Salem, N. j.,

Braddock 18l.
Retzlaff was top-heavy. favorite
to stop the Jerseyite but at no time
during the 80 minutes of tame bat
Ting was he able to even jar Brad
dock.
The Duluth youth, who appeared
sluggish, spent most of hts time US
ing his left to hold Braddock's head
for q heavy right smash. This was
trick was effective only a few times.
Retzlaff's greater reach enabled him
to protect his own head at all times
and Braddock was forced to center
all his attack to his opponents body.
The score-card gave Retzlaff five
rounds. Braddock four and one was
even. The officials gave a decided
decision In Ret5laff's favor.

attention of financial quarters, as
