Mathis Der Mailer
Explained in Lecture
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

An interesting and Informative
talk was given by DR.. Marion Rous
of New York at the Textile Museum
yesterday afternoon. It's subject was
Hindemith's symphonic poem Ma
this der Mahler,"," based upon his
opera bearing the same title, first
performed in Zurich. Her previeW of
the work, which is to have it's first
performance in Washington this
evening at Constitution Hall under
DR.. Hans Kindlers direction,
aroused interest in the composition,
excerpts of which she played on
the piano. Colored prints and discs
of an orchestral recording served as
additional means for completing the
Illustration.
The lecture revolved around the
music and the set Of panels of
three pictures each, painted by Ma
this Grunewald at the beginning of
the sixteenth century, at the time
of religious wars. They were COM
manded by an old monastery in
Alsace, near Colmar, in commemo-
ration Of its patron saint, St. An
thony. The work consists of several
parts which have their counterpartS
in music and are entitled st. An
thony," "CrucifiXion," San Sebas-

tian," "Annunciation," "Resurrec-
tion," Temptations of St. An
thony," Discourse" (between st.
Paul and the painter, "Entomb-
ment of Christ" THE Last Supper"
These paintings served Hindemith as
an inspiration and a basis to de-
scribe in music Grunewalds philos-
ophy of the futility of art in the
face of human suffering and blood
shed.
DR.. Rous told the story of the
opera and dWelled upon the themes
she especially admired for their in
novation or strength. Among these
were the strains of the celestial
choir and the discords in the
Temptation of st. Anthony" which
Miss Rous termed as "the most sue
cessful dissonances in existence"
Her personality, the informality
of her discussion and her enthus-
iasm in her chosen subject vouch
for other pleasurable afternoons
March II and March 20, when she
will give two more forecasts in con-
nection with the National Symphony
programs.
Alton Jones in Recital,
At the Howard University last
night, Alton Jones, pianist, also of
New York City, in recital at the
Rankin Chapel, gave substantial
evidence of his earnest endeavors
towards an artistic goal.

genius of this young singer who
with no apparent intention grasps
the hearts of her audience at her
first entrance and makes them share
In her joys and sorrows to the final
drop of the curtain. There was
plenty of applause after her death
scene, but 1t held a subdued quality
as if the tears that she brought to
her listeners, eyes still clouded the
vision and choked a more noisy
demonstration.
She does so little, yet so much.
The economy of gesture in her sct-
Ing, the slight indication here and
there, or the picturesque pose as
sumed, exercise a powerful effect
and this grows imperceptibly, build
ing with supreme art toward the
great emotionalism of the last act.
Then, the fragile figure of Cio-Cio-
San is torn with grief and as she
stands drawn to her full height.
with the dagger with which she will
end her life held out before her,
she reaches a dramatic climax
worthy Of the great tragediennes of
history.
With such acting. the belief that
opera is a stilted art form is forever
destroyed. Miss Koyke, with her
utter naturalness and deep sincerity,
has shown that. The charm, the
beauty and the dramatic potency Of
her impersonation are of equal pro-
portions. set in motion with her
entrance and flowing in perfect
rhythm to the end. It is more
powerful than the music, although
it is the exact Interpretation of the
music, for she unites more COM
pletely than any other singer Of
this role the drama of the action
to the drama of the musical score.
Her voice has gained in strength
and vibrancy since her appearance
here last season and she is skilled
in the manipulation of it. AS a mu-
sician appreciating the value Of
every phrase, she is mastery and
has the art of giving time for effect
to use at will. Her singing of the
final duet of the first act, the aria
and letter scene in the second and
the difficult music of the third, was
splendid without the slightest strain
or the freshness of her vocal quality.
In her authentic costumes of gor-
geously combined hues, she made
a beautiful picture, delicate and
flowerlike. When, in the death
scene, her lovely, long hair falls as
a pail over the slender figure in the
pink robe, she is a study in color
contrasts. Kneeling in obeisance
before the applause of an entranced
audience, she was like a figurine
from her country's art, completing
the fascination which she exercised
over her listeners.
The remainder of the cast was
superbly chosen. In the role of
Pinkerton, Rolf Gerard substituted
for Dimitri Onofrei, who is still i'll,
and for the first time in memory
the American naval lieutenant was
blond. Mr.. Gerard gave an
excellent Interpretation of the part,
both vocally and dramatically,
bringing more ease and naturalness
to it than others who have essayed it.
The dignity and handsome appear

antiquated pieces by John Field,
"Nocturne in E minor" and "Rondo
in E fiat major" the artist warmed
up to his piece de resistance, Chop
ms Sonata in B fiat minor, op. 49,"
which he performed with due respect
to all traditions and in a thoroughly
satisfying manner.
Mr.. Jones has a scholarly back
ground and is inclined more toward
a poetic rather than imaginative
expression in his art. He has a
sound technical equipment and a
touch that Is full and resonant. His
delivery does not as yet show the
force and freedom of personal con-
viction, although he is innately
atuned to the beauties of such mel
odic strains as appear in Chopin's
"Marche Funebre." Rachmaninoff' S
"Prelude in D major, Op. %. No. 4"
and Ireland's THE Island Spell"
These numbers were among the most
effective under his fingers. He was
generously applauded after each
selection and encored. The recital
was concluded with Balakireff's "Is-
lamey Fantasy"
Evening star., 1941-01-22

was tempered with warmth and
finesse toward this end.
The Suzuki of Charlotte Bruno is
a splendid character sketch which
she has high-lighted with many
little touches of great value. Her fine
voice adds credence to her inter-
probation, for she uses it with ex-
preston, The three main princi-
pals, involved in the story with But
terf1y, surrounded her with tender
regard, fitting their acting and sing
ing admirably to that of Miss Koyke.
Francesca Curci as Goro, Richard
Wentworth as the Bono and later
as Yamadori, and Flora Shennon as
Kate Pinkerton were each excellent
in the finished performance they
gave.
The opera was sung in English
and more pleasure in it must have
resulted from those not familiar
with the original Italian. Perhaps,
because one is unaccustomed to hear
opera in our language, it proved a
little distracting in the effort to hear
every word, for the diction of the
singers was clear enough to make
that possible. For besides the inter-
est in the artists, which their moving
portrayal kept at high point, there
was the superb background which
Carlo Peroni, the musical director,
created with the orchestra. One
wanted to listen to that also, to
follow the marvellous musical ex-
preston which Puccini has built up
to increase the power Of the story
and which Mr.. Peroni understands
In so sensitive a manner. But the
effort to give opera in English
should be encouraged and the San
Carlo Co. deserves praise for actu-
ally doing so and doing it well.
