ANNIVERSARY EVENTS
MARK LOEW PROGRESS
Opening of Palace and Record of
Manager Ratio to Be
Featured.

TWO memorable events in the his
tory of Loew's Washington thea
tiers will be observed starting Friday.
These are the seventeenth anniversary
of the opening of Loew's Palace and
the twenty-first anniversary of the
association of o. j. (Angie) Ratio
with the local .Loew organization.
This anniversary is being marked
with the presentation of "Mutiny on
the Bounty" -Goldwyn- Mayors
classic, which stars Clark Gable,
Charles Laughton and Franchot Tone.
It was in November, 1918. that the
late Marcus Loew, accompanied by
Nicholas Schenck. now president of
Loew's, came to Washington to open
officially the new entertainment
house. There was a notable guest list
at the opening, to witness Mary Pick
ford in johanna Enlists."
In those days, however, the Palace
was running two distinctive shows a
week, one holding the screen for three
days and the other for the balance
of the week. However. in September,
1919, this policy was abolished and
pictures were put in for a week or
more.
Vaudeville came along in September,
1926, with Vincent Lopez and his or
chestra as the opening attraction.
Such personalities as Rudy Vallee,
Ben Bernie. Rubinoff. Nora Bayes,
Francis White, Jean Harlow, Conrad
Nagel and others have been featured
on the Palace stage.
Angie Ratios history with Loew's
Is a notable one Mr. Ratio started
his theatrical career at the Columbia
Theater in 1914. in the capacity of
bill poster, publicity man, ticket taker,
organist and had sundry sother duties.
Then in April, 1920, Nicholas
Schenck elevated Mr.. Ratio to the
position as manager of the Palace,
serving under Larry Beatus, then city
manager.

of sentiment or in tragic utterance.
Rarely has a singer been able to
command the wide range Of express
sion which is Tibbett's natural talent.
If song calls for simplicity of decla-
nation. tender sentiment, blood cur
ding drama or humorous nonsense.
Tibbett is able to immerse himself
instantly and completely in the re-
quired mood. When he has finished
number, he not only has carried his
listeners along with him. but has con-
vinced them that nothing else remains
to be extracted from the text or music.
He is a great singer, but more than
this, he is a great actor and the COM
bination is unique in this day.
IF ONE would seek to analyze the
means by which he achieves his
superb interpretations, his perfect die
ton and his splendid vocal control.
one would end up by facing the unex-
plainable, for his dramatic power is
something inherent and impossible Of
acquiring by simple study. One IS
born that way.
Tibbett deserves special credit for
recognizing that there is more to vo-
cal art than mere singing and for
using the full measure OF his talent
to the greatest aim of art. He has
taught his public great deal about
the art of singing, but still more about
the art of Interpretation. And his
numerous public throughout the co,,n-
try rejoices in his fine talent. which
satisfies, moves and amuses them.
Yesterday afternoon at Constitution
Hall extra seats were placed on the
stage to accommodate the large crowd
that came to hear him. His program
was unusually we'll planned. progress
ing from mood to mood with rare
skill. For those who are interested
only in purely beautiful singing he
gave them "Oh Whittier Art Thou
Roaming" from Marcantonio Cesti's
n Pome dora; the delightful Il Am
a Roamer Bold" from Mendelssohn's s
"Son and Stranger; Schubert's by
the Sea-" in poetical English transla-
ton. and "Gerard's Monologue," from
Giodano's Andrea Chenier"
In these his amazing breath control,
refined phrasing and deep feeling were
paramount.
