the leading role In the projected
revival Of Massenet's opera That's"
A native Of Australia, she began
her musical studies in Melbourne.
Later she went to Paris to work
with Nine. Cecile Gilly. After only
three years of coaching in Paris she
made her debut at the Monte Carlo
Opera In the role of Elizabeth In
Wagner's "Tannhauser." A few
weeks later she made her first ap-
pearance at the Paris Opera as
Elsa in "Lohengrin." She continued
singing there for three seasons. Her
Metropolitan Opera debut took
place December 18, 1885, when she
sang Brunnhilde in die Walkure."
The two arias Miss Lawrence has
chosen are supreme creations of two
OF the greatest pioneers in the de-
velopment of opera. "Iphigenie en-
Tauride," Gluck's last opera, was the
center Of one of the greatest con-
troversies in musical history. Parti-
sans OF Gluck, among whom was
Marie Antoinette, in the Paris of the
l770s, and followers of the Italian
opera composer Piccinni engaged in
violent disputes, as both composers
wrote operas based on the same Ii
bretto, Piccinni used the f1orid, con-
ventional style. and Gluck writing in
his drama per musica' manner.
Today Piccinnis chief fame is in hav-
ing had dispute with Gluck, while
the latter's music has proven its
immortality.
Arenskys variations on theme of
Tschaikovsky are for string orchestra
and were originally the slow move
ment of his Quartet in A Minor,
Opus 35.' Following the announce
ment Of the theme there are seven
variations and a coda. The theme
comes from the fifth of Tschai-
kovsky's songs for children and is
called Events in the Garden of the
Infant Christ"

Miss Lawrence Is Soloist
Today With Symphony
Australian Soprano to Make
Washington Debut With
National Orchestra
National Orchestra

Marjorie Lawrence, brilliant
young Australian singer and lead
ing soprano OF the Metropolitan
Opera Co.. will make her Wash
ington debut with the National
Symphony Orchestra under the di-
rection Of DR.. Hans Kinder today
IN the fifth concert in the orches-
tra's Sunday afternoon series. The
concert, to be given in Constitution
Hall. will begin at 4 pm.
Miss Lawrence's program with the
orchestra will include the recitative
and aria, 20 malheureuse Iphi-
genie from Gluck's opera, "Iphi-
genie en- Tauride," and the dificult
final scene Of Brunnhildes Immo-
lation from Wagner's die Gotter-
dammerung." On thee same pro-

orchestra in a suite Of Gluck's in
strumental pieces arranged by Felix
Mottl, Arensky's Variations on a

two nocturnes, "Nuages" and 'Fetes'

Miss Lawrence, who is one of
the youngest prima donnas of the
Metropolitan Opera, is one of the
most important singers of that
famous company. She is a leading
soprano in that popular Wagnerian
section of the opera and she alter
mates with Kristen Flagstad in a
number of roles, including the tax
ing Brunnhilde parts in Wagner s
Ring of the Nibelungs."
Her versatility has enabled her to
sing with distinction roles in en-
tirely different operas also. Last

move feet forward?" IF she does"
answers Ormandy, "she will be over
the footlights." "IIl compromise
on 18 inches" says The Voice and
Miss Anderson steps out little way
In the meantime, and in fact
throughout the morning, a photog-
rapher has been taking pictures.
Ingeniously climbing over chairs
and appearing suddenly in most un-
expected places, his flashlight would
catch Mr.. Ormandy standing on the
rungs of his stool and violently (but
silently imploring the brasses to
do their part, or leaning over, entic-
ing the strings to special beauty
of utterance or sweepingly gath
ering the whole orcestra together
for an overwhelming climax. Sink
ing quietly around during all these
hours, he must have taken a hun
dred pictures, punctuating the ST.
lence with his exploding bulb.
Finally, bit weary, Mr.. Ormandy
asks into the ether, Can you come
down for minute, Charlie?" and
we sit up eagerly to see the ma
terialization of The Voice. In few
minutes tall slender man arrives
on the scene in dark trousers and
black shirt, with bright red tie
Charles O'Connell, music director
of the Victor Co., author of THE
Victor Book of the Symphony" and
assistant to Leopold Stokowski when
conductor of the Philadelphians, a
name to conjure with in musical
circles.
Mr.. O'Connell, Mr.. Ormandy and
Miss Anderson 60 into little hud-
die, and after difficulties have been
adjusted the recording proceeds
without interruption, Miss Ander-
son singing gloriously with STIR
ring emotional effect while the or
chestra blends in with a perfect
accompaniment.
Taking advantage of Mr.. O'Con-
nell's descent from the unknown
quarters where he had been heard
but not seen, we 60 out to meet him
and find a charming gentleman with
a decided twinkle in his eye, who
welcomes us. Hoping that we might
be invited to visit the mysterious
domain that he inhabits during
recording, we timidly make the sug-
gestion, but are told it is too hot up
there" and that last week a man
had collapsed in the close quarters.
The extreme heat is necessary, it
appears, to keep the wax soft for
the recording, but there we're many
other things we wanted to know
that remained unsatisfied.
Time was passing, however, and
Mr.. OConnell and Mr.. Ormandy
regretfully agreed that the record
ing of THE Pines of Rome" to-
ward which the schedule had been
working, would have to be put off.
Four hours of gruelling work had
been accomplished Ito say nothing
of the previous preparatory with
only a short rest period. During
that time the conductor had never
relaxed his insistence on perfection.
never ceased the physical labor of
beating time and putting every
ounce of energy into gaining dy-
manic effects to the end of a crea-
ton of beauty. The artists who
worked under him returned again
and again to the same phrase, un-
abatingly giving of their best to-
ward the same end.
And so, much wiser and more
admiring reviewer, we turned to-
ward home to play record by the
Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by
Eugene Ormandy and marvel, with
keener appreciation, at the perfect
result.
