Miss Fredell Lack
Gives Brilliant
Violin Recital
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

Fredell Lack, a young woman vio-
linist who can WELD the bow like
a man, was heard last night in re-
cital at the National Gallery of Art
and scored a well deserved success.
Having wealth of nuance at her
command, the artist had no Difficult
ty in presenting the music in the
best light. Beginning with three
standard numbers, each belonging
to a different period, Miss Lack
opened with Tartini's "Fugue," which
served to introduce her as serious
and well-Schooled musician Breadth,
solidity of attack. a good grip on
the many double stops, and the
grand manner of the Italian School
were evident in the very first meas
ures of her performance, warming
up the audience to what followed.
Miss Lacks playing of Brahms
Sonata in A Major op. 100" may
be easily classed among the best
given in this city. Delivered from
memory, with sensitiveness and re-
f1nement already disclosed in the
opening number, the violinist sur
passed the performance of the lat
ter by bringing into play that warm
sympathy and tenderness which is
characteristic of the work and lends
TO II peculiar grace and charm.
In Vieuxtemps' Concerto No. 4
in D Minor" Miss Lack showed an
enthusiasm and sweep in keeping
with the great Belgian's style for
effective display. The introduction
abounding in accented phrases on
the G string, and stunning techni-
cal passages was performed with a
remarkable fuency and tone color.
The same can be said of the
lovely "Adagio Religioso," in which
Miss Lack showed once more that
her technique is only means to an
end, and that sentiment, ideas and
the composers. objectives should
have first consideration. The
"ScherZo" movement was the least
perfect of the three, the accuracy of
intonation suffering from too great
a speed. The former smooth quality
was regained in the slower, lyrical
sections.
The violiniSt was extremely for
tunate in her piano partner, Eugene
Helmer, who deserves to share full
credit with the soloist. In addition
to a fine sensitive tone, pliable and
unobtrusive, yet authoritative and
full when occasion demanded, Mr..
Helmer has also a pronounced in
terpretative gift to match that of
the soloist. SaraSate's familiar
Romance Andalusia," Suk's Bur
lesque," Haieff's "Retornel," the
Stawinsky-Dushk "Pastorale" and

BY ALICE EYERSMAN.

Fans OF Rise Stevens, lneZzo-
soprano of the Metropolitan Opera
and radio and screen star, joined
the regular patrons of the National
symphony yesterday for the concert
at which the popular singer was the
soloist. Svelte and attractive, Miss
Stevens Immediately disclosed the
rare gift Of reaching her audience
and holding its attention every min
ute she was singing. On Constitu-
ton Hall stage she was a great a
success as in her other mediums.
She sang to her public, and for
her public, in specially personal
way that set her performance at
once into a different category. Every
phrase was sent out to the listeners
with the intention that they should
share in its meaning fully and this
was done in modest and easy man
|ner. She has no mannerism and
makes no effort to attain an effect
but achieves one, nonetheless, by
her own genuineness.
Although her numbers were the
old tried and true ones, she fresh
ened them up by her personal en-
thusiasm. "Connaisc-tu lie pays
from Thomas "Mignon" and Mon
occur s'ouvre ia voix" from Saint
Saens' Samson and Delilah" were
her first offerings and she made a
appropriate choice of Tschaikowsky's
None But the Lonely Heart" for
encore. Her voice has gained in
richness and depth since she sang
here last and it was beautifully even,
rounded and expressive throughout
her range. The sentiment she in
fused into these melodic numbers
was real and the audience responded
with storm of applause.
The "Habanera" and "Seguidilla"
from Carmen" followed and the
two arias have never been better
sung. Both the text and the
rhythm of the music had a natural
flow to them that was quite void
Of the usual rather labored way of
trying to put them over. When the

Oberle, the chorus sang with pre-
cision and pure information and with
real enthusiasm. The performance
was polished in the exactness of
tempt and musical effects and car
