when they meet in heaven. But that is neither
here nor there when music and musical per-
formances under consideration. Neither is it
Of significance that Miss Hallock is not native
Philadelphian. but American who chanced to be
born in Syria. That sounds romantic and has its
companion piece in a recent musical story in the
fact that Nine. Emma Eames. also Ameri-

all others in which appeal is made in the of

1t is well that Miss Hallock was born even

NINE. LEHMANN's SECOND RECITAL


At Carnegie Hall last night Nine. Lii Lehman
gave her second song recital. She has announced
q third for the afternoon of November 26, and II
there should be a fourth a fifth il would not be
surprising after the demonstrations OF last night
The audience was much larger than at the first
recital and, naturally. much more brilliant in ap-
pearance. The large percentage of German opera
pa irons was noticeable feature Of the affair, and
the fact that the admiration in which Nine. Leh-
mann is held is paired with affection was evident
nately applauded, though the performances were
very varied in merit. Enthusiastic outbursts fol-
lowed generally after the songs Of a cheerful
wonder that repetitions were redemanded The
gentle melancholy of the list was somewhat
trying and was emphasized by the mourn
full bearing Of the singer. But Nine Lehmanns
art is not Of the cheerful Ebullient joyous
ness gay merriment simple happiness was never
represented in the gamut Of her dramatic utter
ances and in her later song singing there IS too
much reflection, too much care for the musical
technics to achieve elements which unqualifedy
dependent upon spontaneity.
AS was remarked this place last week Nine.
Lehman sings songs better than she ever did be-
fore because she yields the rights OF the
lyric as compared with the dramatic art. Her old
instincts are still strong however. and occasionally
carry her off feet. in the case of Schumanns
..Spielrann'' and Schuberts 'Erlkong' last night
The latter song was rapturously received by the
audience but TO defend It, leaving praise out Of
the question would seriously tax our ingenuity.
