one, she would still remain a mystery.
Already her fingers are like iron,

singing. luscious tope quality. Oc-
taves hold no difficulty for her, and
she can play them at lightning speed,
without any evidence of fatigue
When she wishes cantelene, the lit
tie fingers are light and soft, yet
ready to take the fleet passages with
a joyous abandon that sings in rip
pling sound.
Naturally, there were moments when
the physical strength was not equal
to the great demands put upon it.

ET4NTI SONG
RECIT4LGIVES
RARE TREAT

7 LILLIAN EVANTI, lyric colorature,
- appeared in song recital last eve
ming before crowded auditorium at
Howard University Nine. Evanti, who
has a long list of European triumphs
in opera and concerts to her credit,
showed her refined artistic training
in a program that covered the best
in vocal literature.
Nine. Evanti's voice is of wide range
and particular f1eXibility, especially
we'll suited to the arias written for
her type of voice, such as the three
opening arias from Mozart's operas,
the "Porgi Amor" "Durch Zartlich-
keit" and "L'amero saro costante," the
aria from the mad scene of DoniZettl's
Lucia di Lammermoor" and the aria
from VerdiS La Traviata." In the
DoniZetti aria she was accompanied
by Blanchard Lloyd on the flute.
Her fine musical foundation and
sensitive feeling were particularly evi-
dent in a group of VOLTS songs from
his ''Italienisches Liederbuch" and the
musical settings of two poems by
Goethe, which require insight and ad-
vanced musicianship to properly pre-
sent.
1t was a rare treat to hear these
seldom sung songs, and Nine. Evanti
caught every shade of meaning, of
text and music, with splendid artistry.
Two Negro spirituals arranged by
Burleigh, and two creole songs ar
ranged by Camille Nickerson of
Howard University completed the pro-
gram.
William Allen was a most sympa-
thetic accompanies, and in the aria
from Mozart's I'll re pastorte," the
violin obligato was played by that
fine artist Louia Vaughn Jones. Nine.
Evanti received many flowers and was
enthusiastically recalled for encores
after each group. AE.

ART THEATER
PLAN REVIVED
At BELASCO

THE Belasco will again be relighted
and repopulated by the Belasco
Art Theater group, somewhere around
March l, and the first play will be
George Bernard Shaw's Devils Dis
ciple," according to an announcement
made here yesterday.
The future of the group was the
subject for discussion at a meeting at
the Belasco, attended by Myrtis Nor
gan, managing directresS Of the So
ciety; L. Stoddard Taylor, manager Of
the theater; Robert G. Pitkin, the Be-
lasco groups leading character actor,
who also is reported to have a financial
interest, and John Douglas.
At this time some 20 plays were
tentatively selected, from which it is
planned to chose the IL which will be
presented, following the Shaw play.
Names of those plays have not been
made known yet, as the group may
produce all or none of them. The Be-
lasco society does promise "plays of
proven merit, known to Washington,
but not done to death here"
Several changes in the cast were
announced following yesterdays meet
ing, and the use of the star system"
in producing majority of the plays
is promised. In this manner, Wash
ington audiences will have an oppor-
tunity to see certain established stars
of the stage, who will be imported to
fill the leading roles in a number of
the productions. The society also
will import new leading man and
leading woman, to fill the places of
Helen Kingsley and Grandon Rhodes,
who are leaving
The one other cast change made
SO far is the acquisition of Beth
Thompson, popular local player, and
the young lady who displayed such
fluent French i'll the Belasco groups
first offering, the first week in jan
uary. It is planned to have Miss
Thompson undertake the ingenue
roles in some of the productions.
The rest of the cast, at present, re-
mains as is. Josephine Duval, Edith
Ketchum. Vera Tatum, Doris Under
wood, Robert G. Pitkin. Foster Will
liams. James A. BoShell and David
Appellee in all probability, will be on
hand when March rolls around. Ar
thur Ritchie, now in New York, will
return to direct the group. H. M.

MARIAN CHACE
DANCE GROUP
IN PROGRAM

MARIAN CHACE and her dance
group, with Michael Logan as
guest artist, were presented in the
auditorium of the Roosevelt High
School last evening by the Community
Center Department in a varied and
interesting program.
The dancers were assisted by Ly-
man McCrary and Victor H. Neal
pianists, and Grace Powell, violiniSt
and the very effective lighting and
stage effects were done by Harold
Snyder.
The program was divided into three
parts, the first done entirely by the
junior group, Yvonne Allen, Hills
Morris and Marian Lester. Shafer
opening the program with Stcher-
batcheff's "Choeur Dunse" They all
showed grace and well-developed CO.
ordination of arms, legs and body
with the music, as well as a keen
sense of rhythm. These character
istics appeared to a lesser or greater
degree in all Of those appearing on
the program last evening.
Each of the numbers done by men,
bers of the junior group were out
standing, the soloiSts being Virginia
Elmendorf, Eleanor King, Vida Renee
Goyette and Virginia Elmendorf The
last number in the first section of
the program was Schumann's Soar
ing" danced by jeanne LeaSure, Avis
Belt, Alice Nicholson Stratton Nichol-
son and Jane Phelps. Their manage
ment Of the giant scarf was worthy
OF more mature dancers.
Marian Chace and a group of the
more advanced students opened the
second section with Won GecZy's
Fine Sommernacht am Meer," one
of the most beautiful of the numbers
last evening. Marian Chace herself
has mastered the art of grace in every
motion, her sense of rythm is evident
in everything she does, and those in
the group gave her ample support in
their work
Michael Logan made his first ap-
pearance in this section of the pro-
gram, giving Lonesome Road a Spir-
itual, which was more of pantomime
than a dance. He was accompanied
by Mr. Neal In this section Mr..
Logan and Marian Chace gave Satie's
'GnosSienne" after the more modern
angular mode of the dance.
Others appearing in the second part
of the program were Sterling Stam-
ford and Robert Black, in a duet;
Helen Hoyep. Amalie Preische and
Marian Chace with Katya Mirkin and
Ruth Raine in an effective trio in
which their use of arms and hands
was graceful as well as expressive.
The opening number of the last
portion was Puppets. Satire" ar
ranged by Lyman McCrory. The num-
ber was composed of six brief parts,
all done with interruption. The pam
tomime was good and the gestures,
movements and poses were in keeping
with the amusing satire. The number
was done by the entire older group
Marian Chace gave two other solos
In the latter part, Boulanger's "Noc-
turne' and SCOTS 'Lento" and Mr..
Logan appeared again in MouSsorg-
sky's "Incantation" and closed the
program with Marian Chace, assisted
by Ruth Raine, Katya Mirkin, Eliza
beth Peoples, Amalie Preische and
Ellen Curran. Others in the senior
group of dancers included Neona Bic
merit, Toni Eyle, Ann Gromley and
Florence Musey. K. B.

Ruth walked out on the large stage
that had seen the musical exploits of
artists many times her age. dressed
in a simple white dress, with large
red bows on the shoulder. She bowed
and smiled in friendly, unaffected
fashion and adjusted herself on the
edge of the piano bench, stretching to
the limit of her bodily length to reach
the pedals. Even then she did not
reach a height that permitted the
ordinary and comfortable play of
power, necessary for the tremendous
program she had before her.
Nothing daunted by the size of the
instrument in comparison to her
chubby childish hands, she began the
famous Beethoven sonata with COM
posure and control that might we'll
have been the envy of mature artists.
In the first two movements she
played with all the prescribed care for
tone and nuance. and one felt pleased
that she was able to handle the SuS-
tanned passages with intelligent in
sight. But when she settled herself
for the Presto Agitato," and her
small hands flew through the intri-
cate phrases with power and thrill
ing quality of tone, with abandon and
ease, then every auditor knew that
here was the supreme gift for music
unaccountable by any human laws.
Ruth did not stop to acknowledge
the applause of her astonished listen
ers, but walked of sedately, as if her
performance were the most natural
thing in the world Back again with
her friendly happy smile. she drew
herself up to her great heighth of
few feet, to make three short bows,
before seating herself for the Mo-

sically with her immaturity Ruth has
done, and as astonishing as it is, it
can be understood in this age of
child precocity. But apart from this.
the rare musical feeling that is able to
interpret Beethoven, Mozart and
Chopin in a way to inspire a large
audience accustomed to the celebrated
artists, none of them young in years,
is something that cannot be explained
from anything we know at present.
At 10 years of age Ruth is genius
and an intellectual giant. May she
continue so through a long life and
bring an increase of the beauty that
already lies in her childish hands to
enrich the musical life of the country.
