Emma Redell Wins HOnors
In Germany and Russia
Singer Who Was Trained In Washington Is the
First American Girl to Be Asked to
Sing Under the Soviet Regime.
By Alice Eversman.

| Miss Redell writes Interestingly
of conditions In Russia and par
ticularly of her audiences: "It
takes workers audience to ex-
clude real warmth. I loved sing
ing for them. They are most en-
thusiastic and so generous in
their applause and show in every
way their appreciation. I am
leaving for Leningrad with a real
thrill experienced in singing for
the workers. They are a Won
derful audience"
The Moscow Daily News, pub
lished in English, has an article
dated January II, 1888. Cultural
America in the charming person
of Emma Redell, celebrated opera
diva, was paid a singular tribute
by Moscow artists, musicians and
writer's at the reception and ban
quet given in her honor by Voks,
the society for cultural relations
with foreign countries.
art and culture transcend all
official geographic boundaries
declared the representative of
the society in a testimonial ad-
dresS). In art as in technology
we find it important to familiar
ize ourselves with the experience
and attainmentS acquired in
Western countries, including the
United States. We are, therefore,
happy to greet in our midst so
outstanding an artist and master
in her field as Nine. Redell."
Thus a young Washington
schoolgirl has won international
fame and praise as an ideal en-
bodiment Of Wagner's ideals Of
womanhood.
The fostering and study of the
treasures of German litera-
ture and music Is the objective
OF a group of art lovers in this
city which, through many years.
has retained the name Of the
Deutshe Literarische Verein.
Founded and kept active by its
present president, Anita Schade,
it has been devoted to the con-
slderation of the great works of
German genius. In 1901 Miss
Schade gathered around her a
number of people who knew
Schiller, Goethe, Beethoven and
their equals, but desired to make
their knowledge more profound.
BY virtue of her own wide knowl-
edge and sincere reverence for
their works, Miss Schade has been
able to vitalize and make living
realities of these dead and gone
thinkers. No anniversary of ia
nous musician or writer has
passed unfeted in appropriate
manner by this Verein under the
inspiration of Miss Schade. Schu-
bert and Beethoven anniversaries
were celebrated with well known
artists assisting. Last year was a
Goethe year and Miss Schade's
interesting talks on Goethe in
Music" had to be repeated at
George Washington University,
Maryland University, American
University, at various schools and
clubs and over the radio.
Last evening the Verein united
IN honoring the memory of Wag-
ner and Brahms whose birth CEN
tenary it is. An interesting pro-
gram was given by Elena de Sayn,
vlolinist, accompanied by Wini-
fred Lakeman; FranceSka Kas-
PARKINSON, with Mabel Rawlings
at the piano; Henry Gregor,
pianist; Mary Apple, accompanied
by Jessie Olin, and Soloists' En-
Semble, directed by Otto Torney
simon, and talks were given by
Herr Alexander Won Wuthenau of
Ine German embassy, Kurt
Hetzel and Anita Schade.

Inaugural Concert

TINE inaugural concert, to be held
the night OF March 8 in Consti-
tuition Hall, is unparalleled IN
i both inaugural and musical his
tory.
Never before have four such attrac-
tions as Lawrence Tibbett and Rosa
Ponselle, Metropolitan Opera Co. luni-
naries; Efrem zimbalist, world famous
violinist, and the National Symphony
Orchestra ever been induced to share a
concert platform. Indeed, until this
Inauguration, there has not been a Ma
tional Symphony to take part in the
official musical induction of q Presi-
dent
Heretofore, the musical aspect of in
auguration entertainment has run to
vaudeville shows and musical pagean-
try. Four years ago, Roxy and his
Gang participated in what might be
termed combination of the two, at the
Rialto Theater. Proceeds from the in
augural entertainment on that occa-
sion netted a substantial sum, which
was later turned over for the relief OF
the unemployed.
