chestra played them with rhythmical
accentuation and the use of small ef-
fects that added great charm to their
intrinsic beauty. DR.. Kinder was re-

OF the artistic care he gave to the
Interpretation Of each number.
The Shakespeare sonnet program,
with musical setting, which the Univer-
sity Club arranged for its entertainment
last evening, turned out to be one of
melody throughout. The melody of
the spoken word, as Shakespeare FASH

posed for the sonnets, and the melody

which ran like a beautiful thread
through the talk given by Charles Ed
ward Russell, combined in a way one
Is not often privileged to hear.
Quite worthy of the master whose
sonnets he discussed was the manner
in which Mr.. Russell planned his speech
He began with dry and solid humor,
holding up to ridicule the many pre-
tensions of Shakespearean scholars, and
gradually, with a quotation here and
there, brought his listeners back to the
on y thing that matters, the great
ta mt Of Shakespeare himself, finishing
WI a poetical sermon of exalted
beauty. It was an excellent preparation
fo- the sonnets which followed, de-
claimed by Dorothy Lawrence
Miss Lawrence gave two groups Of
the sonnets, dressed in Elizabeth an cos
tune, against the medieval background
picture executed by Hugo linden. who
also planned the special lighting effects
With utmost simplicity and repose Miss
Lawrence spoke the lines in a manner
to bring out every shade of beauty She
is gifted with an unusually warm and
flexible speaking voice with a wide
gamut of color, which she employed
most effectively. ,Artistica]ly holding
her personality subordinate, she be-
came an admirable vocal interpreter
Of the elevated thought and musical
nature which these SonnetS combine so
marvelously. Nine. Louise Coutinho,

Shakespearean songs. with early and
modern musical settings, Miss Stein
mann added interest to her singing Of
these songs by the explanations she
gave as to their origin. Also in Eliza
bethan costume, Miss Steinmann sang
with the charming informality which
adds so much to the effect OF the
songs. Her voice is of sweet quality,
which lends itself easily to the varied
minute effects she brought into her
singing. She was heartily applauded
and gave two encores as charming as
the numbers she had selected for her
| program. It was all in all, delight
full evening, which surely left a finer
sense of beauty with the audience,
which not only gave the usual express
sion Of appreciation, but the far
greater one Of undivided attention.

developed since under the direction of
committee Of well known patrons and
directors of music
The first program will be sung at the
Public Library. Seventh and K streets

worthy Of a still more experienced
singer predisposec the audience at once
in her favor. which assumed more solid
character when her rich talent was
completely disclosed. Miss Bamptons
voice is unique and intriguing with q
far range and a flexibility that any
coloratura might envy 1t Is of large
volume, and mounts upward with per-
feet ease. although in reaching the
lower registers a certain change is still
necessary. One wonders a little Just
why she choose to call herself a con-
tralto. for the part Of her voice that
would warrant this nomenclature Is the
weakest and least imposing section Of
her entire range.
Miss Bampton's youth is evident in
her voice, which is by no means a det-
riment, for the freshness and soaring
quality, its richness and volume, are
full Of young vitality. 1t is. however,
not completely settled in the way 1t
will eventually 60, and that the years
will do much to determine. At present,
soft and full. and on an artistic pattern
that. Will lead her straight to bigger
things.
The flexible agility with which she
gave the coloratura passages of the
"Cenerentola" aria produced an uncan-
ny effect, for here was a heavy voice
with a dramatic tendency, as feet and
easy as any light soprano. The power
OF her voice was brought to the fore
In the Debussy number, and The audi
ence instantly responded with applause
that was difficult to still, trying hard
to hear more of her lovely singing.
From the first hearing of this young
artist, one could say that the musical
world will be talking of her still more
in few years. if all goes well, for she
has, as yet, just touched the surface Of
her talent. Hers should be an inter-
esting career to follow
The orchestra played diverse pro-
gram which included the eighteenth
century suite from the ballet "Cephal
ct Procris," by Gretry- -Mottl; Tschai-
kovsky's symphonic poem, francesca
da Rimini';; "Sarabande," by De-
busy -Ravel, and the waltzes from
Strauss "Rosenkavalier. Strangely
enough, the outstanding number, from
the point of polished execution, was
the Gretry-M -Mottl suite. Here the or
chestra did some splendid work, the
woodwind especially fine against the
oencate background the strings gave
1t seemed that individually the men,
bers of the orchestra allowed them
selves to be led by the musical content
only. forgetful Of technical difficulties
or demands.
This cannot be said of the SYM
phonic poem, for although DR.. Kinder
conducted with particular fire and
enthusiasm, the orchestra did not sus-
tain the inspiration it started out with

THE public is usually one up on the
cinema. Little items which escape
tie attention of the producer are
caught up by wary mortals, who now
are accustomed to very close inspection
Of their films. Therefore, Miss r. o. Rash
of 904 East Capitol street is worried
because in Dancing Lady Joan says
she hasn't a dime. Yet some of the
things she removes at bedtime have
the sort of embroidery one does not
get in a bargain basement. And the
garment she puts on, of satin and lace,
hearsal wages she appears in a satin
practice suit, and at Franchots party
in most elegant gown. On Franchot's
cruise one assumes she is still on her
own and not even on rehearsal salary.
Yet she appears in at least two breath
taking confections'-we believe Miss
Rash must mean connections. "A
knowledge Of how this is done would
be a great help to some of us poor
working girls
In answer to this we should have to
say:
Dear Miss Rash-Even though. as
you say, We have been to Hollywood
such practices were never explained to
us by the producers. Unfortunately,
we are not terribly familiar with en-
b"9lcery, and a satin practice suit
might very well appear to us to be
utterly plain wool. We deplore the
habit of the cinema to overdress its
heroines particularly as you say when
they haven't got a dime. But women
will be women, and we imagine that
Miss Crawford had good deal to say
about the clothes she wanted to wear
And If Miss Crawford likes embroidery
That, we imagine, is more or less that"
