Small Compact Groups "Con-
genial" Concert.
nIRECTED BY Robert Frederick
Freund, the Farm Credit Chorus
accentuated its Spring concert with
selections seasonally congenial, being
thoroughly light concert" last night
in the departmental conference loom.
The small but considerably COM
pact voice group contains several
Creditable singers among its numbers
who carry the bulk of duty and lead
the way in such fashion as to en-
courage the remainder. Because Of
this the general results were not as
pacific and we'll balanced as could be
desired. Earnest spirit and attention
in consideration of the renditions
nevertheless prevailed to establish
the chorus favorably Response was
ample in testimony of this fact. Mr..
Freund's management of the group
warrants commendation.
Too, in assuming solo status, the
director evlnced notable amount OF
vocal training and ability OF his own.
In separate portion of the program
his display of resonant voice COM
bined with creditable fullness for all
the range of tenor proved note
worthy. An effortless manner OF rem
dition is to his favor, as well. Tam
hauser's Evening Star" song (Wag-
ner) and reflective "Nocturne" of
Curran were the singers best media,
we'll taken advantage Of.
Popular among the choices Of the
chorus were 20 Lovely Night" and
'As I Went A-Roaming, by Often

They remember that they lived across
the street from you in GEORGETOWN
(Where your mother still lives) or that
they went to Western with you. They
are impressed that you have gone so
far on the stage. They think, and
they are right, that you are pretty
marvellous. And you think the same
OF them and it is great deal of fun to
come back and see the years wiped
out by memories of this, that and
the other thing
And, sizing up the whole thing, it
makes you very happy. The rest,
OF which there is a great deal in a
charming tete-a-tete lasting an hour

Except, perhaps, one may say that
Miss Mason is better looking off the

than those photographs which look

upon which the blond Miss Mason
twhose photographers always make
her look like Miriam Hopkins, who is
only fractionally so nice to look att
grows positively loquacious.
When she deals with that topic, one
feels acutely how temporary residence
in Washington is for so many persons.
No matter where you go touring with
play, there is always some one in
the town who remembers you when
you were sweet girl graduate at
Western High School. So Miss Mason
found when ex-Washington residents
popped into her dressing room in
Yakima, Wash, saltwater, Okla, and
places like that. Some of them even
remember when you We're a much
smaller girl in Georgetown and starred
as daisy (or some other fower) at
the age of six when you were student
at Jackson School.
A ROAD trip, with so many former
Washington dWellers scattered
between the Coasts is a constant sue
cession of reunions. When for in
stance, the play goes to Madison, Wise,
who turns up but Gov. Phillip La
Toilette! If you happen to be Miss
Mason-as Miss Mason does-you re-
member Phil when it was inconceiv-
able that he should be Governor But
he is a Governor. And, so he gives
a very large party for you Gf, again,
you happen to be Ann Mason) and
every one comes. And, you forget all
the other guests and fall to reminisc-
Ing about the parties you went to in
Washington before you became an
actress, or your host ever thought Of
being Governor.
OF course not all the people who
are 50 glad to see some one they knew
here when father was in Congress, or
the Department of Agriculture, turn
out to be governors when you meet
them while playing one night stands
somewhere between here and Cali
fornia. But they all are very nice
people In spite Of neglecting to become
politically prominent. So Miss Mason
says. She ought to know. She has
Just met several dozens of them.
And then, as a sort of climax your
play comes to Washington. Your tele-
phone starts ringing, your mail
becomes heavier. and you discover that
some of your old friends who knew
you then are still in town.
They remember you as an off shoot
Of the Barksdale-Reed family union.

Williams, mezzo-soprano, and Frank

skys None But the Lonely Heart"
Handel's Hear Me, Ye Winds and
Waves" and Huhn's "Invictus" and
other songs in English, including
spirituals In spite Of hoarseness
that intruded occasionally, Mr.. Will
liamS voice is admirably adapted to
these numbers and is Of rich texture,
especially in the lower register. He
sang with feeling and understanding,
his rendition of the lovely Handel aria
being particularly noteworthy. Tschai-
koWsky's famous song and Still vie
die Nacht," in both of which the full
resonance of his voice was heard to
advantage, also were finely interpreted,
his excellent diction in both English
and German deserving special COM
mendation. He was warmly applauded
and responded with encores.
In three groups Of songs, including
Summertime" from "Porgy and
BeSs," Miss Williams disclosed fresh
voice Of sweet tone and wide range.
Outstanding was her singing of Coan's

NEARING ITS END
Jury to Get Case Tonight of

Hammer Staying.

PITTSFIELD Ill, Nov. 23.-The
murder trial of the Rev. c. E. Newton

his former Sunday school worker, Mrs.
Dennis E. Kelly of Paris, Mo-, whose
body was found in the Mississippi
River last July 13.

he killed the 45-year-old mother and
claimed he was "tricked" into making
the alleged confession" one of the
strongest links in the States long
chain of evidence.
. Both the State and the defense
rested late yesterday, and Judge A.
Clay Williams said closing arguments
would begin this morning.
The jury which will deliberate the
minister is composed of 10 farmers and
tradesmen. All were qualified for
the death penalty.
Chief witness for the State was Miss
Myra Hanan, the minister's 37-year-
old, stoop-shouldered foster daughter
upon whom the minister attempted tc
shl1t the crime. He related he was
held prisoner while others murdered
Mrs. Kelly. The pastor asserted he
recognized only the voice OF Miss
Hanan among his captors.

vigorous hour and a half of cross-ex-
animation by Johnston yesterday. He
was on the stand for seven and a hall
