Young Artists
Of Promise
In Concert
Janet Bracken,
Herbert Donaldson
In D. c.. Debuts
By ELENA DE SAYN.

A benefit concert of unusual ex-
cellence took place last night at
the Masonic Temple Auditorium un-
der the auspices of the Northeast
Rescue Mission, which presented
two young artists, new to Washing
ton. Janet Bracken. lyric soprano,
and Herbert Donaldson, pianist.
Already master of every detail
which goes into the making of
virtuoso, Mr.. Donaldson gave an i'm
pressive reading of Bach's chorale-
prelude, Jesus Christ. Son of God"
and Franck's Prelude, Fugue, Vari-
ation." Poetry and strength were
but some of the many good points
brought forward, coupled with a
singing touch and perfect articu-
lation which lent Mr.. Donaldson's
performance finish an older artist
could well envy.
But it was not until the four
Chopin etudes were played that one
could predict unhesitatingly bril-
liant future for this young pianist,
since the execution of these num-
bers left nothing to be desired The
choice included the &C sharp minor,
Op. 10, No. T." &c fiat major, Op
10, No. s." &c fiat major. Op. 25,
No. 9" Butterfly and &C minor.
Op. Is, No. IL" Ocean, which was
encored. Fleetness of fingers, sense
of proportion, speed and virility put
Mr.. Donaldson Immediately into the
class of a virtuoSo.
Not less successful was the win
some petite Janet Bracken, who
charmed her hearers by the sweet
ness and purity of her lyric voice,
50 mellow and even throughout the
entire register. Such songs as
Scarlattis La Violette," Veracini's
"A Pastoral" Pierne's lie Moulin
and Grieg's Elm Schwan," seem to
have been intended for just such
voice which has natural place
ment, a high register and that in
dividual timbre which is but rarely
heard. But these songs are not in
a class which could exhaust Miss
Bracken's possibilities, let alone
touch upon them. Her type of
voice, akin in quality to that of a
great singer whose name is not as
yet forgotten, the late Marcella
Sembrich, should be heard only in
an unusual repertoire. When Franz
List wrote his famous songs die
Lorelei," "Mignon's Lied" to name
but few, it is permissible to sup
pose that he had just such a voice
in mind. From his biographers, We
know how he admired Nine. Sem
brich, to whom he once said, you
sing like an angel"
In Miss Bracken's selections one
missed the German Lieder or types
OF other songs suitable to her in
dividuality and style, songs which
could be successfully essayed only
Evening star., 1939-05-11

by those who have a voice of her
rare quality and distinction.
Enthusiastically applauded, Miss
Bracken responded with three en-
cores which included Reynaldo
Hahn's lie Rossignol des Lilas."
Charles when 1 Have Sung My
Songs to You" and a Spanish Sere-
made" Bainbridge Crisis "C'est Mon
Ami the aria "Depuis lie jour-"
from Charpentier' Louise; Rach-
maninoff's % Thou BilloWy Har-
vest Field" Stricklands "At Eve
Heard a Flute" Horsman's The
Bird of the Wilderness" and Rum
mels Ecstasy" completed her print
ed program. Miss Bracken was ably
supported at the piano by Reino
Luoma.
At the opening of the concert. Mr..
Donaldson was presented with a
small box containing the flag of his
native State, South Dakota, with
the names of its distinguished
citizens.

A legislative measure, which
would permit the catching of
crawfish during the open season
and placing them in cold storage
to supply the trade during the
closed months or prohibitive pc
Rod, was the object of a confer
ence between the Monroe coun-
ty representatives to the legiSla-
ture and Paul Petrich of the
Coronado Fish Co., at Islamorada,
Fla. Mr.. Petrich shows that
every state has a law similar to
that suggested except Florida and
believes that it would be of great
benefit to the state if the legisla-
ture should pass one, and should
also bring great benefits to those
who are in the crawfish industry.
The representatives told Mr.. Pet
rich they were very much i'm
pressed by his suggestion and
that they believed that there was
a probability of such a measure
being put through at the coming
session of the legislature. He was
assured of their interest, aid and
cooperation in the movement.
That the fame and worth of The
Citizen is not confined to its own
particular territory is shown by

In the deadlock among Jews, Arabs
and Britain over how and by whom
Palestine would be governed. and
it was believed most non-British
Jews would leave the remaining in

Jews again discussed with NAL

yesterday their objections to the
British plan for Palestine, which
would make them a minority in an
Arab state.
Arabs See British Today.
The meeting was informal and
was expected to continue next Mon

British today.
Two 24-year-old letters which
may hold clues to settlement of the
bitter Arab-JeWish dispute over the
Holy Land were published by the
