TENOR HEARD
IN WASHINGTON
CLUB RECTAL
yKroo'' Bagranoff
| Assisted at Piano
by Torousky.
~ ALICE EVERSMAN.

Kroom Bagranoi, tenor, assisted by
Adolf Torovsiy at the piano, was pre-
sented In recital last evening by Mar
jorie Lowe at the Washington Club. A
large audience welcomed the recitalists
and applauded the diversified program
with genuine enjoyment.
Gifted by nature with q fine textured
and appealing voice. Mr.. BaSrancn
unites with it Q sound knowledge OF
sense He Is singer who entars with
true understanding into the spirit of
what he interprets and Is able to make
his listeners share in the sentiments ne
wishes to convey. Mr.. Bagranof1's pro-
gram contained the variety offered by
classic, operatic and modern numbers
all Of which admirably suited his indi
vidual style. Two arias, Una furtiva
lagrima," from Donizetti's "LElisir
d'Amore," and Walther's "Preislied,'
from Die Meistersinger," gave ample
opportunity for the lyric quality Of his
voice to be heard while he interpreted
them with feeling and sincerity. Han
del's where Fer You Walk" however
needed q more suave legato to be ef-
fective, for Mr.. Bagranoffs manner of
emphasizing each note interrupted the
flowing melodies to too great a degree.
The two we'll known French songs.
"Jai Pleure en- Heve." by Hue and
Gretchaninof1' "Triste est lie Steppe," !"
were beautiful examples of fine singing
combined with convincing sentiment.
unfortunately disturbed by a faulty
French diction. The Bulgarian folk
songs sung with delightful nuances won
instant approval and the familiar
/ BLACK Eyes" had to be repeated Adolf
TorOvskys Dawn" opened Q group Of
English songs that contained several
whose intrinsic value as recital numbers
will never diminish and which Mr..
Bagrapof sang with inspired sentiment
that gave them new life. Mr.. Bagran-
of Is the type of singer whose singing
arouses a desire to hear more, and this
was the case last evening when the
audience tried to induce him to add to
the program with more encores. His
talent. which goes deeper than mere
vocalism, was not exhausted by the
numbers he had chosen and the audi
ence was aware Of the fact when 1t
recalled him repeatedly.
Mr.. Toroysky was an unusually SYM
pathetic accompanist, with a tone
quality In his playing that blended per-
fectly with the easy. lyric color OF Mr..
Bagranon's voice This same delicacy
and charm imbued his playing of the
three solo numbers, "Fruhlingsnacht." :"
Schumann- -Liszt; May Night" Palm
gren, and "Najadem i'm Quell" by
Paul Juon Thoroughly poetic in feel
ing. Mr.. Torovsky made Of them finely
colored miniatures in which the care
fully etched details assumed the most
prominent part A light. graceful tech
mic and velvety touch created a deli
cately romantic atmosphere for these
numbers expressive OF the beauty Of
Spring, and Mr. Torovsky had no diff
Guilty in interesting his listeners in his
Interpretation. Prolonged applause
brought him out again to play his own
composition, 'Minuet," as encore.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. May l8 N.A.
N.A1.-The death Of Ernest florence
brings to my eers one OF the most
strangely beautiful stories OF this colony
that have ever heard. 1t Is the stoxy
of three musketeers OF the cinema
tale OF three friends banded together IN
friendship and loyalty that has endured
through several years.
Ernest Terrence, Ronald Colman and
Warner Baxter are the three musketeers
or were. When Ernest Terrence was
dying in New York, Ronald Colman,
who had vowed that nothing would take
him from the long vacation he had
earned for himself during his years OF
slavery to the cameras, dropped every
thing and hurried bv fast boat to the
bedside OF his friend. He got there In
time to clasp his hanG. to smile into
his eyes, to see him over the dark
threshold
The third musketeer. held in Holly
wood by the trouper's rule-neVer walk
out on the job-did his work with q
stony face. pain filled eyes and q great
anguish in his heart that he could not
be the lucky one to show his devotion
and hasten to that bedside also. Warner
Baxter-caught in the making of Il
Loved You Wednesday"-was heart
broken that he could not go to make the
inseparable three for the last time
The world has in some strange way,
failed each Of these men who have not
failed each other. Ronald Colman, one
OF the handsomest and most success
full men on the screen today, is not the
happiest of humans He evaluates the
worlds praise-he evaluates the praise
and fawning of Hollywood-at their
exact worth. He wouldn't give it all for

to separate the real from the unreal. and
out OF 1t came his knowledge that two

HOPES OF BRITAIN
REPOSE IN GENEVA

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 18.-Great Britains
eyes were turned today toward Geneva,
where 1t was hoped tightening in the
international tension will be reflected
in progress toward disarmament
This hope was qualified, however by
doubts as to what line the German
delegation to the World Disarmament
Conference would be instructed to take.
The cordial reaction Of many nations,
including. as reported here. virtually
the whole Of the United States itself
to President Roosevelt's message, di-
vided interest with Chancellor Hitler
conciliatory speech before the Reichs-
tag.
The chancellor's welcome Of the Pres
ident's proposals, while regarded as
gratifying. was commented upon as
needing the Endorsement Of subsequent
acts.
For the present, nevertheless. Hitler's
acceptance of the American proposals
cleared away a good deal Of anxiety.
King George has replied directly to
the Presidents message In behalf OF
Great Britain.

is still one of the foremost personalities

are proving to her that while she Is
sweet and quite lovely to look At, she IS
not so good an actress as some would
have her; because scouts from the movie

throughout the country for real talent:
because it IS q fact that you must learn
to act on the stage before you can say
you know how to act before the camera:
because the movies haven't time to fool
with greenhorns these days, and because
there Is no other personality in the

 STRIKE CAUSES MORE TROUBLE
Twenty Autos Loaded With Striker-Breakers

Brockton, Mass. oct s1-,tU.P) Trouble broke out anew in the strike of 1900 shoe workers of the W. l.. Douglas plant here to-day when 20 automobiles bearing i'm. ported strike-breakers were stoned near the avon line. Brockton po- lice were stationed along the route leading to the plant to avert att Jacks by the strikers and their sympathizers. When the automo- piles appeared. conveyed by a state police car and two state troopers on motorcycles, strikers hidden in woods bordering the road. began hurling the missiles. Several direct hits were made although no win- dows were broken in the machines. The strikers fled into the woods be- fore they could be arrested.
 Additional pickets and strikers were on hand at the company plant when the, cars arrived there. Act ing Marshal James F. Mercy over heard a guard make an obscene remark to a young woman strike sympathizer after brandishing a gun. Mercy telephoned to the Bos- ton employment agency where the strike-breakers are obtained, warn ing them that if the incident re- cured he would not allow the strike breakers to come into Brockton. The Douglas plant is the only shoe factory in Brockton that has refused to recognize the Bro therhood of Shoe and Allied Craftsmen. Thirteen other factories were affected by a prolonged strike caused by factional disputes be- tween rival unions, but following arbitration workers returned to their benches.

Me- Kee was thrown into New York's turbulent mayoralty campaign to- day while two grand juries pushed Investigations into alleged wide- spread fraud in registrations.
 Samuel Seabury, who investigat- ed corruption in New York city government and is now backing the campaign of Fiorello H. LaGuardia, fusion candidate, has demanded that Mckee, recovery part candi- date, explain why he consented to McEneny's reinstatement as chief examiner of the aldermanic board after Mckee as president of the board of aldermen, had removed him. Seabury had inferred that Mckee's change of heart came after McEneny showed him the contents of an affidavit. Today Sea- bury made public parts of the af- fidavit.

STEEL INDUSTRY HAS YIELDED TO
 THEPRESIDENT
NRA Policies Accepted and Mills and Mines Will
 Be ReOpened
BY JULIUS FRANDsEN fyyn,ted press Staff CorreSpondent,


 Washington, Oct S1-(UPo - President Roosevelt appeared to- day to have established the domin- ion of his uphill recovery policies over the great basic steel industry.
 Steel leaders who have been cool toward the MIRA from the start, and have haggled for weeks over a bitter strike in their captive mines in Pennsylvania coal fields, acceded last night to a settlement on lines laid down by the prestdet.
 Mir Roosevelt also wrested from them a price concession on steel rails, opening the way for perhaps the largest single railroad order in history which will give emploment to thousands of workers wherever railroads. run through the winter and spring.
 The captive mine settlement gave the strikers virtually every thing they demanded. The steel companies, traditional foes of or ganized labor, even yielded the "check-off''
 On thet rail price dispute. the government made decisively for ward stride in its program to put men back to work. The public works administration is going to loan railroads close to $40,000,000 to buy SO0,000 tons of rails and ] more than 100000 tons of spikes, tie fasteners and other equipment. The price of $S6.37 1-2 was agreed upon. Four steel companies with rail mills are expected to share the huge order, U. s. Steel, Bethlehem. Inland Steel and Colorado Iron and Fuel Company. Operating at full capacity. the mills will require at least three months to fill the order. U. s. Steel's Pittsburg rail mill alone can give work to 15,000 men, according to trade authorities here. Highlights of the settlement: 1. Every mine which has an outlet for It's product shall be re- opened.
 3. Employees who were working when the mine last operated will be re-employed without discrimin- ation as to membership in any union.
 B.. The mines agree to deduct union dues for a miners pay when ever authorized to do so by the miner. This is the 'check-off sys- tenn which was major center of the controversy.
