Is noI tne Capltol, ana 1t cost SIS 600
TO bring the statue from it to the
rotunda. When 1t was brought to the
Capitol doors, the statue, like the
painting of the Vicar of Wakefield's
family, was too large to go through.
The masonry had to be cut away
and the door enlarged. When it was
finally installed, it is said that the
floor began to sink. A pedestal had
to be built under it to support it. It
was soon found, however, that the
rotunda was no place for it, and
finally, after number of removals. it
was taken to where it now stands, in
the bitter cold, bleak air of the Cap
itol plateau, where the winds can
howl out Washington's agony as they
go tearing by, and where his naked
ness has "the boundleSs arch of the
sky" for canopy.
Originally the statue was to have
cost $4,000. It has already cost
$4,000, and this sum is considerably
increased at every removal. One

of our daytime clothes, is seen in the
more fashionable types of underwear.
Here it is arrived at by means of a
two-gored skirt, extending in smart

ranged from classical songs to dra-
matte operate arias. Her magnifi-
cent contralto lends itself to the
interpretive resources which she
posses in abundance and which
Is OF that finely attentive quality
that makes much of every phrase.
The nature of her voice gives to the
quiet. sustained measures of such
numbers as Haydn's THE Spirits
Song" "Che Faro SenZa Euridice,"
from Gluck's "Orfeo Ruridice," and
the two arias from Saint-Saens'
Samson ct Dalila," a rich beauty
and dignity. Less well adapted, by
reason of its somber color and heavier
character, to the lighter movements.
as represented in Purcelrs There's
Not a Swain on the Plain" and
Gretchaninoff's "Snowfakes," her
technique is so free in its emission
that she nevertheless conveyed the
spirit of the composition with true
artistry.
In two encores, Schubert's "Erlkoe-
mig and the aria, Una Voce Pc POGO
Fa," from Rossini's Barber of Sc
Ville," which has always been the
favorite of lighter voiced singers, she
touched the two extremes of her art.
the dramatic and the lyric. Singing
the aria in the low key, a surprise
to many who believed it written
originally for soprano, she managed
the fiorid passages with clarity of
tone and the same f1eetneSs of exc
cution to which one is accustomed by
coloratura singers. In the "Erl King
she came nearer to stirring her
listeners with the tragic drama of
the song than any singer who has
essayed this difficult work. A charm
ing singer with an unusually beauti-
full voice, it will be a pleasure to
watch her in the broader field of
opera.
No one can equal Richard Crooks in
the art of real singing. nor draw the
audience into so fine communion with
the beauty OF song. His art is so re-
fined that one is unconscious of it and
therefore free to enjoy the sentiment
of thought and the unadulterated pur-
ity of sweet sound. Lovely beyond
words was his singing of Handers
Alma Mia" the anonymous Have
You Seen Whyte Lille Grow?";; La

little subtlety. took the Interstate Male
Chorus through its thirty-ninth con-
cert, given in the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce auditorium last night,
with high honors. A large and ap-
preciative audience demanded six en-
cores and, after standing through
Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" the
| finale, sat down again for more. The
| gesture was wasted on the chorus.
| however, as it resolutely departed
without more music.
The soioist OF the evening, Dorothy
Raynor. sang the familiar "Ritorna
| Vincitor" from aida" with consider
able dramatic force. and her three
English songs were characterized by
true lyric sweetness. Mrs Raynor. a
recent addition to Washington's musi-
cal circles, has given concerts with
the Boston Symphony Orchestra and
was a star with the American Opera
Co. This was her first appearance in
Washington.
She sang again with Charles B.
Wood, first bass, and E. r. Kidwell,
second bass, against a choral back
ground, Our Lady of the Angel Host, -
from Verdi's opera. La Fora del Des-
tino." This number, conducted with
great care by Mr.. Aitchison. was the
most satisfying on the program.
Mr.. Aitchison's own arrangement Of
the invocation from Jacopo Peri's
early opera, "Euridice." led off a WELL
balanced concert. A second conductor,
Harold M. Brown, manager of the In
