Widening Projects.
The proposed widening projects,
i according to Capt. Whitehurst, con
i sist mainly of extension of improve
| ments which already have been
| started. For instance, widening of
: Third street, a 32-foot highway, was
1 started last year. Under the new
program, this street will be extended
from Maryland to New Jersey ave
nues, eliminating a detour which
now must be made near its end in
order to reach New Jersey avenue.
Sixth street N.W.. another project
on the list, is an extension of widen
ing made in connection with de
velopment of a municipal center
and ultimately will extend all the
way to Florida avenue.
Widening of Massachusetts ave
nue N.W.. from First street to Sev
enth street, is a new project and will
furnish a direct route from Union
Station to Mount Vernon Square.
Work on Independence avenue, from
First street S.W. to Second street
S.E. and on Thirteenth street
N.W. from Logan Circle to U street
also will be new.
Lincoln Memorial Approach.
To permit a better approach to
| Lincoln Memorial. Twenty-third
street will be widened under the
program from Constitution avenue
to Washington Circle. The street |
also will be extended northward
from N street across park property
to P street and thence northward
I to connect with Twenty-second
I street just south of Q street N.W.
i In line with this proposed develop
ment. Twenty-second street will be
nue to its junction with the new

Twenty-third street.
Seventh street S.W.. according to

to Maine avenue chiefly to provide !
increased capacity along this outlet
to the Southwest. Widening of
Tenth street N.W., from Massachu
setts avenue to Vermont avenue, of
M street S.E., from Fourth street
to Eleventh street: of Eleventh
; street S.E., from Virginia avenue

North Capitol street is to be

to Vermont avenue. This already

Recital Given
On Church’s
New Organ
Dr. R. F. Maitland
Plays Program at
Calvary Methodist
By ALICE EVERS.MAN.
The full quality of the new organ
recently installed in Calvary Meth
odist Church was displayed to the
public last evening in a recital given
by Dr. Rollo F. Maitland of Phila
delphia. The well-known organist
was assisted by Helen Ware, violin
ist. and the two artists drew a crowd
that taxed the capacity of the
church proper and the adjoining
halls. The organ is a three-manual
Aeolian-Skinner. constructed under
the personal supervision of Louis
Potter, organist of the church.
Dr. Maitland, whose experience
with the finest organs in the coun
try has been extensive, chose a
program that brought out the range
of effects of the new instrument.
Its tonal quality is unusually mellow,
particularly in softer passages, while
it responds with smoothness and
evenness throughout its scale and in
its coloring. Dr. Maitland's manner
of playing allows the instrument to
speak for itself, for his refinement
of style and skillful registration
make for the art that conceals art.
There were new names among the
composers selected, several un
familiar and others better known for
their writings in other fields than
for the organ. The place of honor
was appropriately given to Johann
Sebastian Bach, whose chorale prel
ude. "All Glory. Laud and Honor,”
"Adagio in A Minor” and ' Passa
caglia and Fugue in C Minor" were
the opening numbers. With the ex
ception of Vaughan Williams'
chorale prelude on the Welsh hymn
tune, "Rhosymedre,” the numbers
of the second group were of the ro
mantic school, including Wolsten*
holme's ' Barcarolle,’’ Lemare s "Ro
mance" and Hollins’ "Morceau de
Concert." the latter a brilliant num
ber which Dr. Maitland played with
great delicacy.
Alter a short intermission, Miss
Ware was heard in the Adagio Re
ligioso from Vieuxtemps’ ‘Concerto
in D Minor, Op. 31.” with the organ
accompaniment. She played it with
emotional power and with breadth
of tone. The firmness of her bow
ing, the fleet surit.y of her Angers
and sonority of her tone made an
ideal medium for the spiritual con
tent of this work. Her finished per
formance evoked applause, the only
break in the receptive mood of the
audience.
Before playing the Anal numbers
which were selected from American
composers, Dr. Maitland gave a few
explanations of their meaning. For
originality in idea and construction.
the works of native composers
proved more interesting than those
of the English. In Alexander Rus
sel] s ’ The Bells of Ste. Anne de
Beaupre” the composer envisioned
a service at this famous shrine with
the bells giving the motif. Horatio
Parker s bright "Allegretto” was as
evanescent as a passing breeze as
Dr Maitland played it while marked
individuality was to be found in
Thatcher s "Legend” and Seth Bing
ham's "Carillon de Chateau Thierrv ‘
with its basic thcrr*
