John Charles Thomas, the baritone of concert, opera, and radio fame, poured fort h note after note of perfection such as is seldom heard on anly concert stage. The, program consisting of songs in Gerinan, French, Italian, and Eng- ish was so well balanced as to seem inevitable in its progression. And as a crowning glory, the strains of opera were again heard on the north shore. It is difficuit to find wor(ls to de- scribe Mr. Thomas' singi ng-superb diction in ail four languages, execu- tion given only to the most highly trained artist, and, above al. a voice of exquisite purity of tone, enormnous range, and velvety smoothness. To me Mr. Thomas' voice ranks among baritones as Elisabeth Rethberg's, amon g sopranos. Briefly, there are no flaws. Displays Versatility SMr. Thomas opened his recîtal witlx a group of German songs, four Schu- bert and two Schumanni. 0f the Schubert, "Nacht und Traunie" wvas, to me, the Ioveliest. \Vith mnagnifi- cent control, and breathtaking p)ianis- simo, the artist crcated a tone-poem of unquestionable beautv., Schu- mann's "Stille Thranen" withi its lim- pid melody brought out anew the astounding legato,.which Mr. Thomas has under such absolute control. As the program proceeds it becomes ini- creasingly difficuit to comment. Eacli song shone upon a niew facet of bis voice.

Thomas' very able accoinpani st, continued w.itli three piano solos-Bach, Debussy, and Lecuona. Hîi, playing showed sym- pathy and feeling, especiallv in -the Debussv xdiere he seerned most, at home. Mr. Thtomas' thîrd group, perhaps the artistic climax in bis program, wvas composed of five Italian and Frenchi songs. It is hard to choose between the plaintive, pathetic, "Amuri, Amnu- ri" of Sadero, or the passionate "0 Nuit d'Amour" hy Isadore de Lura. Entirely different in subject, eacl vas a unit in phrasing and interpretation. Again as an encore-opera. Thiis tinie the Toreador song.,' Encore& Double Group The printed program closed with, five English songs, but a comct's tail of encores doubled the group. john Alden.Carpenter's. "The Green River" with the poetic words of Lord-Alfred Douglas, touched the depthis of quie- tude. Robert MacGimsey's "Land of Degradashun," lu vivid -contrast, xvas of equal brilliance of execution. Then came the encores, alniost a recital in themselves. First, siniplicity with "Annie Laurie," theu the clever "Dragon's' Doom,"l ringing, "I Love Life,." that roarng spiritual "Gwine to Heaven," and finally "Dedication," an almost solemiil)enediction on a joy- ous eveuing. SWith such. an opening of another Artist-Recital series, we cannot fail to anticipate a superb. season. On Nov ember 26, Madame Sigrid Oniegin promises a different but equally thrill- ing evening of music. Mr. and Mrs. Char les W. Allen, 1926 Greenwood avenue, returned last Tuesday froîn a seven weeks' visit in1 England. They went over on the Cynthia and returned on the Tran- sylvania. * UCTION. Monday, OCTOBER 29, il1ar..
