REAG|VEN zON|NG
AS 'A-RESTR|CTED"
Acres Near Spring Valley
Affected--Action on Con-
sent Policy Deferred.

Additional acreage near Spring
Valley has been restricted to detached
dwelling development through a
change in zoning from residential "A"
to "A restricted" classification, by
the Zoning Commission.
1t was a compromise decision. The
commission made the change effective
for the area from American Univer-
sity as far west as Fordham road,
south of Massachusetts, avenue, but
did not change the zonirg of land
lying west of Fordham road.
The commission had proposed a
ban on apartments or flats for the
entire area from American University
west to the District line, south of
Massachusetts avenue. While favoring
the ban for the area north of Spring
Valley, W. c. g. A. N. Miller, develop
ers, objected to making the rule effec-
tive for the outlying area.
The commission, in executive SeS-
sion yesterday, approved a change in
zoning of 1924 Wisconsin avenue to
first commercial, 60-foot &C" area,
which woul permit erection of a pro-
posed Warner Bros. motion picture
house
Petition for a change from "A re-
stricted' to "A" area for land between
Thirty ninth. Forty-second, and w
streets, which would have permitted
building of flats or apartments, was
rejected without prejudice to later
hearing when the Commissioners and
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission will have approved a
change in the highway plan.
The Commissioners held over action
on their proposal for eliminating con-
sent features from the regulations in
a move to end buying and selling Of
property owner consents for certain
property uses, which they believe has
developed into a racket"
The plan was outlined in detail
at a special hearing yesterday. Several
property owners approved the objec-
tive but insisted that where certain
uses are allowed in residential areas,
adjoining owners should be given
notice Of development plans so their
interests right be protected.

grown to expect In such numbers
as the lovely aria from Carmen"
the aria from Lalo's "Roi d'ys" and
the classic group, which concluded
with Handeps famous Largo" In
these one was forced to find con-
tentment in tonal quality and in
finely spun phrases which adhered
to the traditional line. But in songs
such as Lemaire's delightful "Vous
DanseZ, Marquise," which had to be
repeated, Chausson's "Papillons" and
the final group Of Spanish songs, his
grace of delivery and elegance Of
style captivated his listeners.
TT is seldom that one finds an ar
tist who gives such genuine pleas
ure to his many admirers as does
Mr.. Martini. One might wish for
a better diction and more straight
forward tonal attack, but these points
of criticism take secondary place be-
side the fact that he sings because
he loves it and is willing to allow
his audience to enjoy it as much as
it wishes. There are not many Amer
ican singers who do as much.
His accompanist last evening was
Miguel Sandoval, the Guatemalan
composer, whose songs have been
heard many times on the Pan-Amer-
ican programs. The most popular of
these, "Eres tu," was sung by Mr..
Martini as the final number. Mr.
Sandoval was heard in two groups
of piano soil, which also included
one of his compositions, THE But
terfly." His Accomplishments and soil
both demonstrated his refined musi-
cianship. The concert was a long
one, made SO by numerous encores
by both Mr. Martini and Mr. Sando-
val, which the large audience was tire
less in asking for.

KING OF KINGS PICTURED
IN HOLMES TRAVELOGUE

CLAD in the raiment of an Ethiopian
nobleman, Burton Holmes yester-
day afternoon at the National Theater
discussed that little known and much
talked-of country with such charm
and originality as to make this trav-
elogue one of the best that he has
presented in many day.
Covered with a short black cape
and topped with white sun helmet,
Mr.. Holmes explained that this garb
had been presented to him by Emperor
Halle Selassie, with the request that
he wear it when he delivered his trav-
elogue on Ethiopia.
This, his last lecture of the current
season, was for the most part devoted
to portrayal of Adds Ababa and its
surrounding suburbs, during the fes-
tivities attending the coronation of
the King of Kings"
After first presenting the arrival
of Hon. H. Murray Jacoby, special Am
bassador of the United States. and H.
R. H. Henry, Duke of Gloucester, who
represented their governments during
the ceremonies, Mr.. Holmes proceeded
to see the sights, stopping her and

Ideal OF all OF tnese groups Wnlcn ac-

His voice is admirably suited to oper-
attic or purely lyric singing, and his
personality and demeanor on the con-
cert stage ingratiating. He registered
a tremendous success yesterday, be-
cause he gave generously Of his gift
in the way his listeners were most
anxious to hear him.
X 4 y n
THE greatest charm of his singing
lies in the easy and natural man
ner in which he uses his voice. He
exercises proper restraint throughout
his range, and even when apparently
he gives out the full power in ringing
upper tones, one feels that he has not
reached, as many another tenor does,
the limit Of his vocal resources. In
spite Of the constant demands which
his wide popularity in several fields
puts upon him, he retains the fresh
ness and f1exibility of his voice, and
last nights program, with its many
encores, left him showing no fatigue,
which is the greatest test of singer.
Yet, as delightful as is his interpre-
tations at all times, there is lacking
a depth of feeling, which one has

VIOLENCE LENDS SPIRIT
PLAY CONTESTANTS

COME strange fascination OF death
- and guns and the like seems to
have overtaken all of the local act
ing groups, but then, again, failure
of comedies so often in the one-act
play tournament may have served
as warning. At any rate, the shad-
ow of the f1uttering wings of doom
hung over four of last nights en-
tries in the preliminaries of the tour
ney and there was a fellow waving
a gun around and talking like tough
guy in the other.
Ruth Perrott's original play. "The
Little Open Gate" entered by the
Capital Players, is concerned with a
woman who has only a few months
to live (the first flutter of the wings)
and an actor who brings her the cour-
age she needs. 1t is an interesting
piece OF play writing, which, while
its motives could be made clearer,
maintains a high degree of inter-
est and is done with polish. THE
Little Open Gate" was played ex-
tremely well last night, too, by Mrs.
Perrott, who also directed, and Frank
Koonce. Their performances seemed
to be the best of the evening.
THE Game of Chess" a one-act
drama dealing with a Russian no.
bleman who used his wits to do away
with peasant who planned to murder
him Qooky, looky, looky, here comes
death AGAIN.. was presented by the
Theater Group of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation 1t was smooth
ly acted by Clarence w. Moore, Clay
ton Braathen, Fordyce Lyman and
John Hurley, particularly by Mr..
Moore. Lawrence Beckerman di-
rected.
The Georgetown Odeon Players
entered will O. the Wisp." the famil-
lar play about the handsome young
will O. the wisp" who waved her little
light in front of the face of the
woman who married the poet she
loved and led her out over a cliff to
fall into the sea. Death can be ex-
cused for coming in this time, though,
for, as one local actor in the audi
ence said, I'D be glad to follow that
blond young ladJ out Of the house
and across field" The young lady
was Miss Catherine Ryan and she
did very pleasant bit of pantomime
in her role. Mary Louise Ryan also
turned in q good performance in
the play, which was directed by Doris
Henlon, and the others were Sally
Howe and Henrietta Talbot.
A young Chinese lad, who had no
sight and only half his wits, died
in the Arts Clubs production of "The
Sweetmeat Came" but this was all
very well, too, because the boys
father wanted to get rid of him any,
way. Edna Ellis Hilton, Andrew Dent,
Miner Ellis and Henry Hartung, under
Miss Hilton's direction, contributed
to the smoothly performed play.
The fellow who waved a gun and
talked like tough guy appeared in
Honor Among Crooks" an original
play by Raymond Wannall, directed
by Marjorie K. Gaardsmoe, and
entered by the Parish Hall Players.
Mr.. Wannall, Robert Volland, Evelyn
Mcdonald, william Tribe, Thelma
Thayer and William Nalley were the
players.
Five more plays will be performed
in the last preliminary contest, to-
morrow, and the finals will be held
SATURDAY.. at Roosevelt High School

there to discuss the customs and man
nerisms of the people.
The town, which was flooded by
some 200. 900 subjects of the King of
Kings, offered, as the globe trotter
aptly expressed it, good camera fodder.
Pictures of the Ras and their retainers,
of the savage warriors with their lion
skin garb, of their crude methods of
transportation and of the Emperor
were presented with a finesse that
one was kept on tiptoes awaiting the
next picture.
Much of their life is crude and
savage and the Ethiopians value many
of the objects that we would discard.
This was illustrated by the Coptic
priest who came from one of the more
outlying villages carrying his holy
water in a Gordon gin bottle.
Pictures of Abyssinian art were also
exploited, all of these in color. They,
too, were highly entertaining, as they
were examples Of the art that -four
ishes today in this semi-savage
country. F. L. c.

CURLEY CLUB PLAYERS
SHOW MUSICAL TALENT

A MUSICAL-MINSTRE extrava-
ganza in three acts, by John Reed
Edwards, was presented last evening in
Carroll Hall, constituting an enter
tainment program offered by the Cur
ley Club Players.
The plot concerned itself with a
Hollywood director and encourage in
search of beautiful princess on the
island of Poo-poo-pa-doop, but all this
didn't matter much when the Crystals,
late of a night spot out the road, and
an array of singers and hooters moved
on and off in rapid succession.
The Crystals, Ann and Ed, demon
Strated their considerable and varied
accomplishments as they appeared
singly and paired. Ann contributed an
acrobatic interlude, with Partner Ed
presenting two intricate tap routines.
The combination executed a couple of
excellent tap numbers entitled Col
legiate" and Musical Comedy"
Vincent Rafferty, and Ray Foley es-
sayed blackface and did fine job. In
addition to providing acceptable COM
edy, they collaborated on a torrid
rendition Of "Old Man Harlem" Mr..
Foley hi-de-hied "Eenie Meenie Miney
Moe" and flung his pedal extremities
hither and yon to good effect. The
audience went for" Mr.. Foley.
Among the other advertisements was
medley of negro spirituals by Edna
Moreland, Melita Haardt and Neona
Bienert, who also harmonized Boots
and Saddle" and Home on the Range. !"
Paul Messink exercised his able vocal
chords on Treasure Island" and Red
Sails in the Sunset" while Gretchen
Baden sang L'amour, Toujours

neat rhythm tap and Thomas z.
Davis huskily propelled the music in
its circuitous course. The program
will be repeated this evening at s:l5.
