DR. FELLOWES’ THIRD LECTURE.
The third and final lecture in the
| series presented by Canon Fellowcs
of Windsor Castle, London. England,
in the chamber music auditorium of
; tiie Library of Congress, was given
' yesterday afternoon before a capacity
I audience. This distinguished author
j ity on the old English music of the
Elizabethan and Jacobean period ap

which is to last three months and
: "ill include engagements in the uni*

j colleges and schools, the Music Club
i of Westfield, X. J.: Oberlin and Cleve
I land Conservortories of Music, the
Organists' Guilds of New York and
Philadelphia and the Institute of Arts
and Sciences in Brooklyn, N. Y.
Tiie prime object of these lectures
is to let the English-speaking people
know that so many of the very old
arts song, madrigals and Tudor church
music has been authentically col
lected and published so that it is
readily available to the public through
such well known publishing houses as
lliccordi. Yesterday. John Dowiand
was the particular composer who was
dwelt upon at any length and Dr. Fel
i lowcs quoted Ernest Newman. English
critic, as placing this composer as
one of the "six greatest composers of
the world.”
"The Art Song of Elizabethan
Times" was the particular subject of
tiie final lecture. The speaker showed
how many years before the Ger
man liedcr, which is generally con
sidered to be an initial step in the
development of the art song, these
composers of the earlier English days
j wrote between 500 and fiOO art songs
j for accompaniment with lute or
i string quartet.
Dr. Fellowcs gave charming songs
! as illustrations of the art song of
i that period, at times accompanying

AMUSEMENTS
WASHINGTON AUDITORIUM—
“TweIfth Night.”
Fritz Leiber and his associate play
ers, who are presented by George Ford
this week in the Washington Audi
torium under the auspices of tiie
Shakespeare Association of America in
a repertoire of some of tiie great
hard's leading dramas, comedies and
tragedies, gave that delightful comedy
“Twelfth Night; or. What You Will,”
last, night before a keenly interested
audience.
The settings for the production
were almost as simple as those of the
famous Ben Greet productions. Soft
drapes of neutral colored curtains
framed a changing hack drop in center
hack-stage. In the foreground onlv
tiie simplest pieces of furniture to
suggest the keynote to the appro
priate furnishings or garden equip
ment of the times were used. Ever
so often an almost ultra-modern touch
was given tiie sets, as in tiie huge
painted rose window that was utilized
with extreme effectiveness for the
setting of the duke’s chamber.
Mr. Leiber interpreted tiie role of
tiie pompous steward to Olivia. Need
less to say lie did it well. His suavity
was obvious and his heated, hurt
pride convincing. Louis Leon Hall
was an excellent Sir Tohy Reich, and
John Burke’s foppish reading of Sir
Andrew Agnecheek was a fine foil for
Sir Toby. Their drunken scene was
one of the most real and amusing
spots in the work. Joseph Singer was
a colorful Antonio;, John Osgood’s
Sebastian was thoroughly gallant and
convincing. Leonard Willey was good
and quite looked the part of the
Duke Orsino.
Os the women, Ethel Taylor was a
fascinating Viola, charming and re
freshingly youthful. Virginia Bron
son was excellent as Maria and Irby
Marshall was a fair Olivia. The minor
roles, especially those of the jesters,
were well played, and tiie touches of
music, particularly the song "Who Is ;
Sylvia.” delighted.
In the afternoon "Romeo and Juliet”
was presented. Tonight “Othello"
will he presented.
