Program by Hi
High Lights Te;
By Elena de Sayn
The monthly meeting of the Wash
ington Music Teachers' Association
yesterday noon at the Willard Hotel
was high lighted by an hour’s pro
gram given by Hilda Henderson. The
young soprano, a native of Wash
ington, graduate of McKinley High
School and a former soloist at Wes
ley Methodist Church, has a lyric
voice of unusual appeal. This was
especially evident in the aria “De
puis le jour’ from Charpentier’s
"Louise” which requires just that
particular vocal quality and type to
make it effective.
Ever, and sweet, Miss Henderson’s
voice has an ingratiating timbre and
her command of it stressed her in
terpretative gifts and natural feel
for style. Besides the Charpentier
aria she sang tvo others by ^andel:
“Aria di Polissena” from “Radamis
to” and "As when the dove laments
her love” from “Acis and Galathea.”
She scored a decided success in these
and in the variety of songs present
ed. Her program included Haydn’s
“My mother bids me bind my hair”
and “The Mermaid’s Song”; Rach
maninoff’s “The Isle”; Moussorgsky’s
“The Child’s Prayer”; Bleichmann’s
"Come, Dear, Beside Me”; Buzzi
Peccia’s “When I go alone”; Scott’s
“Blackbird’s Song”; "Stresa” from
Watt’s “Vignettes of Italy” and
Worths “Midsummer.”
Before the program, a gut oi two
checks, each amounting to $250.00
was made to the Washington Music
Teachers’ Association by representa
tives of the Arthur Jordan and the
Homer Kitt companies and present
ed to Dr. E. N. C. Barnes, president.
A minute of silence in memory of
the late concert manager, C. C. Cap
pel, was observed before adjourning.
Another singer, E. Frank Edwinn,
who promises much and of whom
much can be expected, made his
first appearance at the Arts Club
in recital last night, under the
auspices of the Felicia Rybier
Music Club.
Generously endowed by nature
with an artistic appreciation of
beauty, personality and an abun
dance of warmth and feeling, the
young basso gripped his audience
by the force with which he com
municated the latter to his listeners.
His voice is rich and well trained
and lends itself to subtle expression.
Both fields, the dramatic and the
lyric are open to him. Yet, for the
present his personal preference rests
with the former. He put a great
deal of himself into the delivery of
such songs as Schubert’s “Aufen
thalt.” Mana-Zucca's “Thy Will
Be Done” and “Sapro.”
Subordinating his voice to the
demands of the text and coloring
each word accordingly, the singer
was effective in "Ella Giammai
m’amo” aria from Verdi’s “Don
Carlos” and in Billings’ “David's
Lament,” the latter adapted bv
him from a vocal quartet. There
was grandeur in his interpretation
of Wolf's “Weylas Gesang,” given
as an encore, and sentiment in his
delivery of MacGimseys “To My
Mother,” sung in a mere whisper.
Dorothy Radde Emery, at the
piano, fully shared in the artistic
success of Mr. Edwinn’s performance
as she did earlier in the day wrhen
she accompanied Miss Henderson.
Always refined and technically se
cure, she created the right mood
for each of the selections and gave
both singers a perfect support.
At the same hour as Mr. Edwinn,
another artist, Jacqueline Lavoy,
Canadian pianist, made her local
debut in the Phillip® Gallery. Win
ner of several prizes, among these
of Canada's “prix d’Europe,” Miss
Lavoy is studying at present with
Mme. Olga Samaroff-Stokowski at
j the Juilliard School of Music in
New York. Unfortunately time per
mitted to hear only a few selec
tions on her program. Rameau’s
graceful “L’Egyptienne,” “Musette
En Rondeau” and Beethoven’s
“Sonate Caracteristique, op. 81a”,
with its three programmed moods:
"Parting, Absence and Return.”
Miss Lavoy’s execution of the
sonata detracted from the favor
able impression made by the two
first numbers on her program. It
Ida Henderson
ichers’ Meeting
seemed as if her sympathetic touch
of a musical quality gave way to
harshness, while her interpretation
lacxed conviction and variety as
dictated by the subtitles. The re
mainder of the program consisted
of Schumann’s “Variations on the
Name Abegg,’’ numbers by Brahms,
Debussy and Albeniz.

". meat fiom land
where only grass
_ can grow
ERE it not for America’s meat pack
ing and livestock industry, nearly
half the land of this country would be use
less for food production. Only grass grows
on it.
Grass, as grass, doesn’t add a calorie to
our food supply. But meat animals grow
and thrive on it. And these animals, as ani
mals, would be of little use to anyone were
it not for the meat packing industry which
turns them into nourishing food for people.
You may live a thousand miles from
where your meat was “raised” but you can
call for it at your near-by market. Meat
packing companies bridge the distance
convert the livestock into meat and deliver
it to your retailer.
And the meat packer’s profit on this es
sential service, after paying all expenses,
averages only a fraction of a cent a pound.

Daily each market. The depend

meat packing industry encour
ages farm production. Farmers
can “cash” a hog or a steer—or

Store-size pieces. First step is
dressing the meat. Next it has
to be cut and processed into the

meats and sausage you want.
Saving and sale of by-products

Fresh meat for delivery today.
Meat packers deliver meat,
under refrigeration all the way,
to retailers as it is needed. This
permits your meat-man to have
fresher stocks at all times—
protects wbolesomeness.
