METROPOLITAN
OPERA SINGER
GIVES RECITAL
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Doris Doe, contralto Of the Metro
politan Opera Co., was heard in
recital yesterday afternoon at the Con-
gressional Club by large and en-
thusiastic audience. In a long pro-
gram that might well have taxed
many a singer with its wide demands,
Miss Doe seemed but to touch on her
remarkable vocal resources and gen.
erously added encores after many re-
sponses to the general enthusiasm.
An unusually beautiful tone quality
is Miss Does fundamental gift, and
a wide range that permits an easy ex-
cursion into the soprano register. Her
transition from great power to re-
strained singing is accomplished with
consummate art that has for basis a
correct vocal production and a COM
plete control Of the technique Of
enunciation and breath control. It is
not often that singer of such pro-
nounced operate character is able to
sing in a small hall and charm her
"itAA tiCA HNAo oOildA ease III
both lyric and dramatic Interpretation.
riety Of moods with equally convincing
ability and her instructive artistic re-
actions to the character of the music
showed her as singer for whom the
future holds still more brilliant promise.
Although any one of the three arias
on her program would have been con-
sidered a tour de force for an after
noon recital, Miss Doe sang the aria
from Mauncinelli's "Ero Leandro,"
Erda's scene from Wagner's "Das
Rheingold c'Weiche, Wotan, Weiche')
and the aria di La" from De-
bussy's 'L'Enfant Prologue" with
rich dramatic fervor and beautifully
free tone. A group Of songs gave the
listeners VOLTS "Verborgenheit."
Strauss "Sie Wissen's Nicht," Palm
gren's "Lilyekowalje" and Sibelius'
Var det en- Drom," sung with artistic
phrasing and warm sentiment.
Her final selections of English
numbers comprised MacDermids
Sacrament" Olmstead's Thy Sweet
Singing" Scott's Lullaby" Deems
Taylor's 1.-THE Messenger" and La
Forges "Song of the Open" Miss
Doe interpreted these numbers with
deep concentrated feeling, proving
herself as much at home in the deli
cate content of the music as in the
broader line of the arias. 1t was an
interesting recital, equally satisfying
from the rich variety Of material Of
fered as the occasion to hear a lovely
voice and an artist of rare talent.
Kurt Ruhrseitz, assistant conductor
at the Metropolitan, who has been
heard here before, played all Miss
Does compartments from memory
with a degree of artistry that equaled
that of the singer and shared with
her the success of the recital.

MUSICAL FILM PLAYS
AT THE METROPOLITAN

Radio, having taken its definite
place in the amusement world, would
necessarily come in for its share in
the moving picture field with a nice
little story of what goes on behind
your loudspeaker when you sit and
listen to the latest grooming sensation
So it does in Twenty Million
SweetheartS," which, having played
here before, has been brought back
to the Metropolitan. and so you fol-
low the fortunes of one of radios
newest crooners.
Twenty Million Sweethearts" is a
pleasant little musical piece without
benefit of elaborate dance scenes. In
it you find only your crooner and his
bride-to-be, also grooming, having a
grand time as well as little bit OF
difficulty over contracts and such, and
a great deal of music which bounds
in over that same loudspeaker.
The Metropolitan also contracted
the Joe Penner comedy which ran
with the feature before and Grant
land Rice Sportlight, a cartoon and
the newsreel. j. N. H.

"TARZAN AND HIS MATE"
ARE NOW AT COLUMBIA
King of the Jungle Shifts His
Scene, but Continues His
Wild Antics.

Tarzan, who seems to be quite
popular here, has parked his grass
hut up on F street again and brought
along all of his lion, tiger, ape and
elephant playmateS. He was here for
two weeks before, and if you missed
him now Is your chance, for his yodel
rings out night and day to shake the
ancient and venerable rafters of the
Columbia.
Such a blasting and trumpeting as
you never heard before breaks forth
when this jungle lord gathers all
these friends together, but it is all
good fun, and even if TarZan Weis-
mueller does make faces at stuffed
lions and rubber crocodiles, to say
nothing of his rolling in the dust
with them, it is enough to make
strong men shiver and the weaker sex
stifle those little screams in their
handkerchiefs.
Now that Tarzan fans are ac-
quainted with his jungle antics and
habits, it is to be expected that
Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer will take this
unique character through every one
of his wildly imaginative exploits. In
the earlier production Tarzan and his
newly found mate were living happily
in the trees. In this last production
they are still found living in the trees,
but the peace and quietude of their
jungle is disturbed by the arrival of
two Englishmen in search of the ele-
phant burial ground. And until they
are gone the way of the weak in
Tarzan's jungle Mr.. Weismuller has
his hands full looking after pretty
Maureen O'Sullivan, who occasionally
gets mixed up with a lion, charging
rhino or a crocodile, and also con-
cerned about the welfare of the two
Englishmen.
With the help of all his jungle
friends, Tarzan effects the final res
cue of his fair mate. who has been
cornered with the Englishmen by a
tribe Of savages, but he is unable to
rescue the men. Together they take
all the ivory back to the elephant
burial ground, for TarZan feels that
it's sacredness has been desecrated,
and that leaves them just about
where they started, happily together
in the vast jungle. j. N. H.

CAMERA SHOTS
BIG FIXTURES
OF KEITH FILM
"Sisters Under the Skin"
Has Thin Plot, With
Photographer as Star.

Whoever welded the camera in the
manufacture of Sisters Under the
Skin" did the best that was done for
the film current at R-K-O Keith's this
week. Except for series of brittle,
trick lens shots-champagn bottles,
dancing feet, bright jewels, pert hats
juggled swiftly before the eye-the
substance of this special bit of Holly
wood overproduction is as thin as the
gown of it's heroine is wearing when
her romance with a middle-aged dol
lar king gets under way and starts the
plot arolling.
Old Massa Yates, the hero, but not
the juvenile, is an insult who knows
when to quit. The head of vast in
terests," he cagily compels reluctant
bankers to loan him another 0,000,-

doing all the things he has never had
time to enjoy in his money-making
years. His former aides are thus left
to worry about what happens to the
company and the bankers 100000 900.
Massa Yates begins his days of free
dom by standing in front of a girl
hood portrait of his wife and solilo-
quiZing irrationally about the disap-
pearance of the woman he once mar
ried. His wife, whose disappearance
has consisted of absorption in a life
of sundry dinners and philanthropieS,
evinceS little interest in the great
mans playboy ideas.
Thereupon he wanders into the gar
den, carries a tray of coffee into an
awkwardly contrived scene where a
young actress is supposed to mistake
him for a waiter, invites him to join
in rehearsal of her lines and slaps
him when he follows the stage direc-
ton anent kissing her.
After this and that equally uncon-
vincing discussion, MaSSa Yates (who
incidentally is much more credible
than written, because Of the valiant
abilities of Frank Morgan) and his
new found youth and his heartily
gold-digging lass, Blossom miss

Blows" featuring George Raft.
Miss Daniels and Mr.. Lyon, one of
those rare Hollywood couples who are
obviously in splendid accord, spend
their few minutes before the public
behaving as the public wishes them to
behave. They act informally, anus

sings with e voice that is neatly
trained and not by any means forced.
She offers Rio Rita" in her Rio

runway that Novarro first made use
of, heaving violets at delighted bald

Miss Daniels most of the spotlight

references to Mr.. Daniels" They're
