CORN, BARITONE,1
SUCCESS
in RECITAL HERE.
Young Artist Recalls
RIffo's Quality
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Forrest
Rutherford made the acqua1nt-
ance of the Russian-Amerlcan
baritone igor Gorin yesterday
afternoon in the ballroom OF the
Mayflower Hotel. They heard
voice of great natural resource, Of
unusual power and range, OF true
baritone timbre even in an upper
register that rivaled that OF Tito
Ruffo.
There were several moments IN
yesterdays program when this
youthful artist recalled the great
italian, as, for example, his &C
count of the Largo al factotum"
from "The Barber Of Seville" or
Mia preso ALA sua ragna," OF
Paradies.
SUCCESS EMPHATIC
On the other hand he offered
interpretations of VOLTS "GeSang
Weylas" and Schubert's "Unge-
duld." far superior to anything
Ruffo could have done, but fell be-
low this standard when he turned
to Haendel. Gorin is no classi'
cist, He sacrificed the impressive
elements of beauty that derive
from strict tempo and unexag-
gerated contrast in order to en-
large upon the opportunities for
vocal display that may be dis
covered in the lovely and familiar
song "Where'er You Walk" This
I thought an unfortunate and un-
necessary sin against style.
His program included, further,
his own version Of a Caucasian
melody, an English version of
TschaikoWsky's None But the
Lonely Heart" which was to be
most heartily commended, and
American songs by Tyson and
Malotte. His success with his
audience was emphatic.

afternoon in the Mayflower
Referring to the relief needs,
AIRS. Roosevelt told the group
Of approximately 800 members
and guests that the District
should be a model to the rest
Of the nation, but that she had
seen be tier institutions in
smaller places. Mrs. Roosevelt
declared:
Il think members of Congress
do not actually know the con-
ditions as they do not see them
with their own eyes. The peo-
pie who have the power deal in
figures. Figures are very inter-
'esting but they are not human.
It is not always a question OF
economy because what we call
economy Is often waste"
URGES YOUTH ACTION
Mrs. Roosevelt suggested to
the league that the best way OF
getting people to do something
about relief and appropriate
funds for institutions and so
cial service agencies was to
bring the attention of cond1-
tions to the young women OF

urged that the young people
: be made to see things as they
actually exist by visiting places
and then to let them champion
the causes and ''go after the
Senators"

many Of the guests was pre-
sented. 1t was entitled "In the
Shadow of the Capitol" The

DISFRANCHISEMENT
KEEPS POOR WHITES,
NEGROES DOWN.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. IT,
(By James H. Boykin for AMP -
White Office seekers get votes by
appealing to the peoples prejudices.
This inefficient men can not iun on
a clean ticket, Mrs. Jessie Daniel
Ames, director of the Association of
Southern Women for the preven-
ton of Lynching said in an inter-
view here Monday.
The rich white people of the
South keep the poor white people
SO busy hating Negroes, Mrs. Ames
said, that they cannot get up them
selves.
Il think" continued Mrs. Ames,
that disfranchisement of the Me-
groes In the South has contributed
more to it's economic retardation
than any one single force"
The Negro papers play up lynch
stories too much, she said, and de-
cIared that that was not really i'm
portant.
9sThere are lot Of things" she
warned, ''that are infibitely more
important than lynching. The mat
ter of Negro disfranchisement in
South is more important than
lynching."
She said that Negroes do not
have the habit Of citizenship and
that the same was true when the
women were being enfranchised.
Concerning disfranchisement she
said:
"There is no reason for Negroes
being disfranchised. We do not have
democracy. Of course you know
having the ballot is not going to
improve conditions of Negroes in
the South to a great extent. Ne
groes for while will be intimidater
81 think the taking away Of dis
franchisement will move the psy-
Geological conditions and bring
about better relationship between
poor whites and Negroes, both Of
whom are disfranchised.
ut is not the actual use of the
ballot that would change conditions
but the reserve power OF the use
