Just as good as a woman's. She

4 Russian Opera Stars
Give Pleasing Concert
Bv Alice Eyersmon
Bv Alice EyeTsmon

| A concert that combined enter
tainment with good music closed
the winter series at Howard Uni
versity last night. It was given by
four Russian stars of opera, Maria
Sokil, soprano, Ilya Tamarin, tenor
Zinaida Alvers, contralto, and
Stefan Kozakevich, baritone. Mr.
Kozakevich acted as master OF
ceremonies, telling the stories OF
the operas in brief, and Of the solos
! or ensembles sung, in an amusing
manner. The artists were accom-
panied by DR.. Antin Rudnitsky
who serves as their musical direc-
tor.
\ All four singers are experienced
in their field, with Mr.. Kozakevich
already known in this city through
appearances with the San Carlo
Opera Company. His voice is full
and robust as heard in the ensem-
bles and duets and in the aria. &C
vim dissipe la tristesse" from
Thomas Hamlet" The contralte
of Miss Alvers is powerful and OF
wide range. She was warmly ap-
plauded for her singing of Mon
occur s'ouvre ia voix" from Saint
Saens' Samson and Delilah" and
Ythe "Habanera" from Bizet's Car
men"
The voice of Mr.. Tamarin is oi
exceptional quality. Purely lyric
its sweetness throughout the regis
tiers is more that of an Irish tenor
than a Russian. 1t blended well
with the clear, high tones of Miss
Sokil, who tends toward the colora-
tura. The range in vocal color was
well balanced for the quartets
which opened and closed the first
part Of the program. Both singers
were heard in arias later and In
duets.
1t was an opportunity also to

hear excerpts from Russian operas
that are seldom If ever performed
in this country. The quartet from
Glinka's Ivan Sousanin," the hero
of Life for the Czar,' with its
gay, folk melody ending, and the
duet, "Taneieffs "The Silvery
Night" sung by Miss Alvers and
Mr.. Tamarin, were choice numbers.
From the comic opera, "Cossacks
Beyond the Danube" by Semion
Artemosky, a singer at the Mariin-
ski Theater in st. Petersburg in
the middle Of the 18th century as
well as a composer, was taken a
duet sung by Miss Sokil and Mr..
Kozakevich. Present day compos-
ers of Russia were represented by
the quartet, Might in the Bash
