Allen in their soprano, and Richard Wagner, 'cell- home at 258 Melrose avenue, Kenilist, both pleasec1. with their executions worth. Mrs. Slater was formerly Prisof highly interesting programs. Miss cilla Allen. Hedges g;we a brilliant performance in spite of the fact that the day before :;he was unable to speak, due to a severe case of grippe. Her tone was transcendently beautiful in rapid passages, in ornamentations and in sustained phrases. At all times she sang with an appearance of ease, but those who have had experience in singing over a cold know the strain involved. He-r numbers were of a modernistic trend and they seemed to be exactly suitable for her voice. Color and warmth, an amber quality, was immediately apparent in her first number, "Cantares," by Turina, and in "Swans," by Kramer, she had the clear, thin flute-like tone. "Las Locas por Amor," about women who are "crazy for love, was another delight. Art her numbers were gracefully sung, with delicacy and power -artistically used. She is a fine artist. She was accompanied by Charles Lurvey, who accomplished the rare thing of being exactly in time with the singer, hardly missing her rhythm by as much as a hair. Richard Wagner proved that the 'cello is indeed coming into its own. · He opened with Goltermann's "Andante from Concerto No. 3," in which he showed a fine appreciation for the spirit of the music, with warmth in sustained phrases and clarity in the decorations. In Popper's "Concert Polonaise," he rose to an impassioned climax and then changed the mood to one of melting melody. Debussy's "Ariette Oubliee," had the peculiar warmth of tone given alone to the Other numbers·. Rameau's 'cello. "MertUet," Brandoukoff's "Elegie," and Perrin's "Gavotte," all showed a fine understanding of the music and thorough mastery of the technique. He was enthusiastically applauded and came back with such happy encores as "Le Cygne," and a LaForge "Melodie." He was given expert accompaniments by Grace Leach Orcutt. The only regret this critic felt was that the accompanists didn't have a better piano to play on.
