Opera Guild
Aids Victims
Of Tornado
By ALICE EvERSMAN.

BENEFIT performance to aid
n the tornado sufferers of the
~ South was given last evening
4 n by the Washington Opera
Guild, Gurle Luise Correa, director, at
the Willard Hotel. The guild had as
assisting artist Joseph Levine, pianist.
nephew of the celebrated Joseph
Lhevinne the artist of last evening
having changed the spelling of his
name so as not to conflict with that of
his famous uncle.
Mr.. Levine's program consisted of
the Busoni arrangement of the Cha
come" from Bach's Fourth Violin
Sonata; Chopin's "Nocturne, op. 81,
No. u: "Scherzo, op. 80, in C Sharp
Minor; "Berceuse, op. ST.; the "Revo-
1utionary Etude" and the Octave
Etude'; Debussy's "Jardin sous la
Pluie" and "Clair de Lune"; De Fallas
Ritual Fire Dance; Cassado's "Al-
hambra" and Lecuona's "Malaguena."
The outstanding feature of Mr..
Gevine's playing is his tremendous
vitality and fire. He is supremely alive
to the powerful effects to be obtained
on his instrument which he embel-
fishes with a brilliant and plastic tech
nique. He Is given to sharply defined
contrasts, although the liaison be-
tween the two lacks somewhat in
proper progression and in artistic fin
ish. However, he is an arreSting per-
former Of the type which promises
much and of whom much is demanded.
As yet he is dominated by the grandeur
OF the music he presents and his tai
ent leads him easily into this mode Of
expression.
His Bach was outlined on a massive
scale in which the bigness of the idea
and the sonorous majesty of tone took
precedence. The same was true of his
playing of the two final etudes by
Chopin, with the additional display of
technical linpidity in the Octave
Etude" and also in the "Scherzo." The
more delicate subtleties demanded by
the "Nocturne" and "Berceause" were
not so finely in evidence, although one
sersed that their absence was due
more to an occupation with another
line Of thought than to an inability to
feel them. His success with his public
was real and instantaneous.
The vocal part of the program con-
sisted of scenes from operas including
1.-THE Mikado," Carmen" I'll Trova-
tore" "Lakme," LA Boheme" and
'Nozze di Figaro" The members of
the guild made a valiant attempt at
interpreting this taxing program and
were generously applauded. The scenes
were given in costume and to a piano
accompaniment which was not always
secure or helpful. Those taking part
in the different excerpts were Mary
MacLain, Patsy Matthews, Florence
Collins, Marguerite Monsell, Thelma
Hardy, Margaret Mickler, Margaret
Simrall, Mildred 'Fiksdal, Irene Grow,
Evangeline Tllly, Ruth Lo Bianco,
Frances Horton, Margaret Shaw. Agnes
Simmons and verna Harper.
