Song Recital
Rubbye Ridge, Soprano, and
Virgil Phemister, Basso,
Give Concert.

Spring, which marks the close of
the professional musicians season,
brings us numerous concerts by To-
cal performers. both students and
teachers. One of the first of these
was yesterdays recital by Robbye
Ridge, soprano, and Virgil Phem-
lister, basso, at the Heron Art In
stitute. Accompanies were Glenn
Friermood, member of the Arthur
Jordan Conservatory of Music fac
ulty and teacher of both singers,
and Miss Helene Pleasance.
Mrs. Ridge was heard in two
groups: One of French songs by
Szulc, ALBERT, Jacques-Dalcroze and
the aria, "Pourquoi," from Delibes'
'Lakme";; and the other contain
ing Wares From india" "The Cry
of the First Bird" by David Guion,
and "Cantares," by Turina.
Though hampered by severe
cold which necessitated the omis-
sion of an aria from Massenet's lie
Cid" Mrs. Ridge sang admirably.
Possessed of voice of rich texture,
an excellent stage presence and
personal charm and beauty, her re-
citals al ways are a delightful ex-
perience.
Opens With Haydn's Work
Mr.. Phemister opened the pro-
gram with Haydn's "She Never Told
Her Love-" one of the composers
familiar Shakespeare songs, and
confined with compositions by DR.,
Arne and Purcell, and the old Eng
lish air, Down Among the Dead
Men" Though best in songs of a
more robust nature, Mr.. Phemister
gave good account of himself in
two familiar Brahms lieder, Love
Song" and "A Thought Like Music, y
sung in English. His concluding
number was Shepherd, See Thy
Horses Foaming Name" His voice
is one of great power, and particu-
larly pleasing in its lower register.
To conclude the recital, both
singers were heard in two duets from
the third act of Massenet's That's,
which brought the most enthusiastic
response from a large audience. 1t
was a pleasant afternoon of good
music we'll sung, and credit to per-
formers and teacher alike. (By j. I'd

VOTE MACHINE
RENTAL URGED

ROCKVILLE, Md, Sept. "a
renewed effort to have voting
machines installed in the sub
urban washington area of Mont
gomery county for use during the
coming election got under way
today.
John Imirie Of Bethesda and
the Women's Democratic Club of
Takoma Park addressed letters to
the county commissioners sug-
costing that the machines be
rented in case the board main
tainS its stand against purchas-
ing them. The election super
viSorS have recommended install
lation of the machines.
Both letters stated that the
machines can be rented for SIS
each plus freight charges to and
from the factory, and in view of
the possibility of a contested cleo
ton due to the congestion in GER
tain precincts, the rental charges
would be far less than the cost
OF a contested election.
To purchase the IS machines
required would cast the county ap-
proximately $4,000. Of this
amount $4,000 would be paid at
the time of purchase while the bal
ance would be paid at the rate of
$4,000 each two years.
Believing the county board mem
berS were agreeable to the pur-
chase of the voting machines the
board Of election supervisors de-
layed arrangements for splitting
the more congested precincts, until
it will be impossible to do so in
time for the coming general cleo
ton, F. Byrn Austin, member of

declared numerous complaints had
been made to him in protest of
this practice.
A dog pound and a lethal cham
Der is the solution sought by city

CITIZENS FIGHT
WET MOVE

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Sept.
9.-Backed by a delegation of
nearly 100 residents, members of
the Mt. Rainier (Md0 Civic Pro
lection Association, through it's at
torney, Bird H. Dolby, yesterday
fought to establish an incorpo-
rated towns right to retain its
pre-prohibition dry status.
At a hearing before the Mary
land State Liquor Board in Prince
Georges county court house, Of
ficials of the town council and
the civic organization asked the
board to reject the application of
Carl Klein for a license to sell
liquor at his restaurant on Rhode
Island Avenue, Mt. Rainier, on
the ground that the charter
passed when the town was in
corporated in 1910 had specified
the municipality would remain
dry.
The case, the first of it's kind
in Prince Georges, was brought up
last month when Klein's applica-
ton to the county liquor board
was rejected after large delega-
ton had appeared in Upper Marl-
boro to protest it's issuance. Klein,
through his attorney, L. Harold
Sothoron, appealed to the State
liquor board. contending that the
license should be issued as a neces-
sary accommodation for the town.
Dolby, in his plea to the liquor
board, stated the town council of
Mt. Rainier had previously voted
to retain the municipalities dry
status and the Prince Georges
delegation to the Maryland legisla-
ture had written letters to the
county commissioners and liquor
board asking that the wishes of
incorporated towns be respected in
the matter of the issuances of
licenses.
Members of the delegation ap-
pearing before the board stated
that many of the property own
ers of Mt. Rainier had bought
their land with the understand
ing that no liquor was to be sold
in the neighborhood and that in
many instances the deeds to their
property carried that Specifica-
ton.
It was also stated that the
proximity of the town to the
District line would cause the
influx of a great many unde-
sirable persons from Washington
because of the fact that liquor
stores do not close in Prince
Georges until 2 a. m.
Klein made no attempt to con-
test the allegation of the civic
association or the town officials,
but restated his contention that
the liquor law of 1888 had re-
pealed any previous dry laws or
town charter liquor provisions.
