Russian Opera
Here Sunday

The Russians have always been
particularly noted for the color
and artistic charm of their thea
trical, operate and ballet produc-

STA, Inc, which brings two OF
Russia's most famous operas to
the National Theater Sunday
January 26) is no exception to
this rule.
This company, organized with
young Ivan Ivantzoff. Russian
baritone, at it's head and includ-
ing many well-known Russian
artists and a couple of especially
gifted young American prima
donnas, has had the warm sup
port of Stokowaski and his Phila-
delphia Symphony Orchestra; the
New York Philharmonic forces
in New York; the symphonic
organizations of Detroit and CleVe-
land and assistance and praise
from music authorities every
where the company has appeared.
There is marked dramatic con-
trast in the two operas which the
company is to do in washington

Sunday. At 2:30 p. m. a gay, fan.
tastic Satire-"Le Cog dor" OF
Rimskv-Korsakoff which has never
been given here-will be pre-
sented. Settings and costumes
carry out the fairy tale quality
of this merry opera.
In the evening, beginning at $3.50
o'clock the equally spectacular but
much more dramatic historical
epic by MouSSorgsky, BORIS
Godounov," will be presented.
Alexander Smallens, guest con
ductor of the Philadelphia Orches-
ira, will hold the baton for the
Moussorgsky work. His reading OF
the score is especially noted. Eu-
gene FuerSt, who is already we'll
known here as an operate con

Rimsky .Korsakoff work.
The performances are given for
the benefit of the emergency fund
for musicians, which has its head
quarters in New York. Tickets can
