Fail
Nest Of
Carmen
Latent Ability
Shown, However,
In Opera
BY ALICE EVERSMAN

The largest audience which has
visited the Belasco since the Ma
tional Opera Company began its
season there turned out last night
for the performance of Bizet's
Carmen" The title role was sung
by Louise Bernhard, while Patrick
Henry was the Don Jose, Alfredo
Chigi the Escamillo and Luisa
Coronina the Micaela.
The leading characters of this
opera test the artistic powers Of
the singers to the utmost, and by
their acting, they definitely set
their status as dramatic singers.
Last evenings performance was
uneven In both respects, bringing
disappointment when much was ex-
pected, and yet demonstrating abil-
ity that was not always brought
into full play.
Miss Bernhard awakened the in
terest of the audience by the man
ner in which she handled the diff
cult scene in the first act. but this
interest was not sustained as the
opera progressed Her voice is q
fine one, although not particularly
rich In the seductive quality asso-
ciated with the role, and she sang
the two arias Of the first act with
insinuating power. With expectation
thus aroused, she failed to keep up
the standard in the inn scene, but
part Of this may have been due to
lack Of support from the orchestra,
which Jagged in the spirit of the
music. In the card scene of the
third act, where her fate is re-
vealed. she did nothing more than
sing it without realizing the dra-
matte import Of the text.
One cannot help but appreciate
Mr.. Henry's intelligent conception
Of whatever he isngs, for he gives
thought to the appropriateness of
every effect. He has temperament,
histrionic ability and a good voice,
but has not learned yet how to
employ these three talents in
harmonious ensemble. When he does
one thing well, the others suffer, as
was the case last night. But he is
too earnest and, repeating the word,
too intelligent a singer not to be
able to solve his problems with
careful study and thought.
His singing Of the aria in the
second act was a disappointment,
although enthusiastically applaud
ed; yet the duet with Micaela in
the first act was finely done. ORA

The Requiem
Presented at
Cathedral
Choral Society
Gives Improved
Presentation

1.-THE Requiem" work that
brought Brahms, its composer, q
wide renown during his lifetime,
was presented last night for the
third time by the Washington
Choral Society, under the direction
of Louis Potter, at the Washington
Cathedral.
A work of such magnitude cannot
be heard too often, and If repeated
by the same organization it is bound
to be improved in presentation, and
such was the case yesterday. Great
er precision Of the beat and that
of cue giving was evidenced by the
conductor, and a better balance
and smoother singing marked the
work of the chorus. If climaxes
lacked brilliancy and authority and

contrasted with the two previous
ones.

the fore. Mr.. Steffe's resonant
baritone, which dominated the cho-
rus, is always pleasant to hear.

able last night, because of the artis-
try of his presentation. Mrs. Pot
ter's work is well known for its
quality and was again appreciated
last night.
Supported by an orchestra con-
sisting Of members of the National
Symphony, the Washington Choral
Society, with Mr.. Steffe, brought to
an effective close the fugue in the
third part Of the composition, which
10 years ago failed to find favor
and caused burst of kissing from
the audience during the premiere.
The dean of the Washington Cathe-
dral in his foreword called the at
tention Of the congregation to the
second paragraph of the printed
program, which emphasized this
failure and the victory the RE

The newly installed Skinner or

Bears Shine on Defense.

nEFENSIVELY the ambition" boys,
who made up their minds last
September to represent the West in
the bowl, were just as tough.
The booming tackles of John Meek,
Bob Herwig and company contributed
to Herky Mosley's tumble that started
the first scoring move and saved the
Bears on 'Bama's two major scoring
threats, as Charley Holm and Mosley
were shaken loose from the ball.
Holm dropped the pigskin on the
7 after a successful pass early in the
second period and Mosley bobbled it
on the early in the fourth after
hope of victory had almost vanished.
And the Bears, who were not sup
posed to be much shucks on pass de-
fense, confounded the Crimson Tide
there, too. They rushed Joe Kilgrow
and Mosley hard all afternoon and
intercepted four forwards and one
lateral.
This was disturbing to the Tide,

THIS is no flaming day for the deep

undoubtedly were Alabama, Auburn
and L. S. U. They were close to

But in their three bowl games they
lost two starts and scored only points
against 10 for California, Santa Clara

Southern teams-L. s. U.-that has

Auburn was far better than Mich

Beyond any argument, one of the
strongest of the bowl teams was Rice.
