The last Of tho Danz symphony orches-
ira series took place, yesterday afternoon
at the Metropolitan opera house. and
another excellent programme was added
to the orchestral laurels of Director
Danzs organization. Eight different
composers figured on the programme
Whlch was full OF gems from the old and
new masters-numbers from Meyerbeer.
Tcha1kowsky. Wagner and List. which
included the Fantasia from Robert lie
Dtable, an orchestral work replete with
beautiful solo. duet and concerted work
for the wood wind and brass instru-
ments, which was one Of the best num-
bers. r.,
Mrs. Mile Wilde Graves, the soprano
soloist, was q pleasing surprise to her
audience. Mrs. Graves, as a church
singer. makes too few appearances on
the concert stage. Her selection was 20
Divine Redeemer," by Gounod, selec-
ton well suited to her voice, but not O.
sufficient medium to show her dramatic
capabilities
Mrs. Graves voice is of a brilliant
timbre, smooth and resonant quality,
and has reserve power that she gave
sway to In her encore number, which was
more suited to her voice and earned for
her a decided and enthusiastic recogni-
ton.
Mrs. Fred VIII played an artistic
obligato to the song. ''Wiener Maiden"
waltz, and the "Andante Cantabile," for
strings, are the numbers that soothe, and

the same character. Director Danz will
give another concert at Easter time, tie
date and soloists to be announced later.

GODOWSKY.
Critics are UNANIMOUS In declaring
Godowsky to be an, artist of the first
rank. pianist with a command of the
key board that seems to be absolute. but
quite free from the mawkish sentiment
tality which is the bane of the modern
school," 1t Is certain that he plays the
most difficult works in plano literature

slightest affectation Possibly that is

be fad in a month. Standing strictly on
his merits, he has won position among
the foremost pianists of the day" Mr..

Lewis Shave, baritone who has won
many laurels at home and abroad. Series
