But, better than they. she knows how to

Krehbiel thought her coming so necessary to
Americas education that he had determined
on bringing her here himself

memories was the appearance OF Fsrsncon
Davies With the Minneapolis Philharmonic
He sang other man sings with a
richness OF culture which lifts everything
he does above mere vocalsm. He is Welch
man, an Oxford graduate. having been edu-
Gated for the cloth. He has a mighty iu-
telligence and spirited temperament. He IN

chorus and orchestra.
Nine Johanna GadsN. who will also be
assisted by the Schubert club chorus and
the series. April "A. She has been for three
seasons the leading soprano Of the D3mrosch
German Opera company. She sang here in
January. 1896 IN "Tanuhauser'' and ''Iohea-
grin" But she Is not the singer now that
she was taen. rich fullness has come over
her art; she has more warmth d more sat

vocal development She Is one OF the rare
sort. equally attractive in opera or concert
But her balcony aria In "Loheuerin." or the
'Dich Theure Halle Of "Tannhauser" are
things never 10 be forgotten. She is a dra-
