DRAMATIC CLIMAXES' WITH STYLE, FEELING IN FESTIVAL CONCERT

Dramatic climaxes executed in the most polished style, finest technique, feeling and interpretation achieved in the florid passages of "Cavalleria Rusticana," by the festival chorus. Symphony orchestra and soloists, marked the final and chief performances of the 1922 May Festival Monday evening at the tabernacle. The four soloists were admirably suited to the parts they took. Mary Ann, Kaufman Brown displayed great powers of artistry in her ipterpretation of Santuzzi reading deep feeling into the role. Her voice is rich toned, smooth and clear and her presence one of winning graciousness combined with much charm and beauty. , Joseph Schenk, singing the part of Turiddu, gave a very convincing performance. He possesses a tenor voice of unusual timbre. L. Barton Evans as Alfio, read much dramatic feeling into his lines. The role displayed to the fullest the great breadth of volume and wonderful tone of his rich baritone voice. Mrs. Fred J. Bartel as Lola, was at her best, interpreting her part into! clear singing tones of marvellous j sweetness. 1 The duets sung by Mary Ann Kaufman Brown with Mr. Schenk and later w ith Mr. Evans were outstanding feat ures in the opera. Especially pleasing! was the dramatic duet with Mr. Evans in which Santuzzi tells Alfio of his Wife's love fnr TnriHdn

The i-.-mpnony orcnestra was at its in the execution of the "Cavalleria ' Rusticana" numbers, forming a fitting accompaniment for the artistic performance of the chorus and soloists. In addition, it played two other numbers and accompanied the festival chorus with the '.'Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah." Miss Marjorie Beck, playing the piano accompaniment for the performance, gave a fine display of technique. Miss Beck is masterful in her pianism and her accompaniments for the concert Monday evening would have been creditable to a professional artist.

us iirsi uow 10 me pudiic tnis year, amazed with its playing, which, unlike the playing of most orchestras, composed of young people, lacked the usual mechanical and unfeeling execution. Under the baton of Miss Iela Longman, supervisor of music at Garfield, the orchestra gave a splendid program. A cantata. "The Gypsy Queen," performed by seventh and eighth grade pupils, was on,e of the most delightful numbers on the program. Equally pleasing were the three numbers by the Girls' Glee club. Much applause was won by the "Gar-Den" Boys' chorus in their sor-gs and whistling number. Miss Gertrude Kohler, musical supervisor for the Dennis junior high school, directed the boys' chorus in its numbers. WANT BIBLE READ IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (By Associated Press.) SPOKANE. Wash., May 23.

Matching the Rainbow By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 23. A new and mysterious art, known and practiced by one man only, is the decoration of textiles by Aztec aura. the Process and bas kept it secret An exhibition of these Aztec aura textiles has just been held at the Arts

bsticiub here. They are different from

any other hand decorated silk3. Tints flow into one another in irridescent! waves of color, and then somewhere,; perhaps at each end, there is a shadowy scene or a vague spray of flowers such as goldenrod, apple blossoms or dogwood. The silken draperies with their changing colors and elusive pictures are as mysterious as the process that envolved them. Mr. Walters named his new art after the famous Aztec mantles made of the rainbow plumage of humming birds. He saw one of these mantles in the British museum and was fascinated by it. It seemed a pity to him that an art so beautiful should be lost, had never seen In modern handwork. It was practically impossible to revive the old Aztec specialty of feather work. The Aztecs bred humming birds in large numbers in order to have a perfect color scale of feathers. Almost every home had its cages of' the tiny, gaily colored birds. Once a year the birds were plucked, ' and the feathers were collected by artists wno worKea on ieatner garments. On a cotton background the workers fitted in the feathers, one au a time, in mosaic. Naturalistic pic ures and elaborate designs were worked out by exact placing and matching of the plumage. A high standard was exacted of the artists. A special dignitary in the king's court supervised the feathery work of the state and mistakes were not tolerated. The artists were required to be so careful that sometimes an entire day would be spent in matching and fitting one feather. The mantels were highly treasured. Kings and chiefs wore them and sometimes the gods were dressed in them. In war times they were exacted as tribute by conquering enemies. Now only a few time-worn samples of the Aztecs' skill remain in museums. The Indians do a little feather work for souvenirs, and tourists buy these beTIZ" FOR ACHING, SORE, TIRED FEET Good-bye, sore feet, burning feet swollen feet, sweaty feet, smelling feet, tired feet Good-ble, corns, callouses, bunions and raw spots.

Mr. Walters left London for New York, but in his studio in Washington Square he still thought of the subtle atmosphere of the Aztec color work. Artists all about him were, ecstatically turning but batik smocks and lampshades, and they naturally began to inquire why he did not engage in the popular art of dyeing with wax. He replied that he had a vision of something so ethereally beautiful that batik with its erotic colors and set designs had no attrac tion for him. After taking this stand, there- was nothing for him to do but to try and reproduce his vision. Three years ago, he went to the artists' colony at Woodstock, and set to work in secret. He spent all of his time experimenting with silks and Coloring methods, hoping always to produce something that would give him the same feeling of satisfaction that the old Aztec mantle had given him. Eventually he achieved his ambition. The process, whether it includes dyeing or painting with oils or water colors, he guards carefully. He explains that he has put not only his fortune but his heart and ambition into it. It was evolved out of his own hnrke-rminrl and interests, and the art l3 therefore an expression of his! own personality I Mr Waiters has had a varied ex-1 erience with the arts. He has been of paintjng at Munich and Paris, and violin student at Leipsic, a student he spent some time at Oxford delving into the ciassics &nd studying the life of the ancient Greeks. He invented I a color organ to establish a note scale of warm and cold colors, and this scale he later used as the foundation of his Aztec color work.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

Long stripes about 15 inches widi ; and 7 or 8 feet long hang on the wall3. They float In the breeze from an open window and the ripple makes the colors more irridescent. Mr. Walters explains that this flowing of the colors involves one of his theories. He believes that sharply outlined designs are not suitable for textiles that are to be draped or allowed to float, because the design is lost or distorted when the material falls in folds. He believes that where folds form the charm of decoration, the fold sought to have free expression and ought not to be interferred with by hand designs, that the designs should float into the folds. This Is the reason of the shadowy effects. It is not easy to describe anything so, elusive as the colors in the variegated hangings. Frederick MacMonnies, sculptor of the Civic Virtue statue which has so upset New York, calls them a poet painter musician's vision of color adapted to fabric. MacMonnies added, in a flight of poetic abandon, that they remind him of "glitter and shimmer and sheen of dragon flies' wings and pale sun risings and storm blown gardens." There Is one piece entitled "Rainbow." The long stripe has at .top and bottom "a shadowy green and blue lake with slender reeds half visible in the water. From these cool colors the sky rises through raiitbow tints to I a vivid orange sunset, and in the cen ter of the scarf between the two scenes is the conventional rainbow curving across the sky. "Morning Star" is a blending of dark purple, green and blue suggest ing the sea at daybreak, lighted only

by one shaft of pale lemon colored sketched pink flamingo for his signalight. "Summer" is a silk hanging; ture with his pink flamingo, his with a background of sky blue shad- j rainbow silks, and an alluring touch ing into rose.

O Nowhere else can you find such a collection of music as contained in the Victor Record Catalog and the Victrola is the one instrument specially made to play Victor Records, 2 The Victrola embodies all the worth-while basic and fundamental improvements of the past quarter-century.
