performers less famous. Nine. Lehmann
Is to be the feature OF the concert a week
from tonight when she sings for the last
time here.
Two young American singers unfamiliar
to New York audiences are TO be introduced
in this series, They are Estelle Liebling
and Electa Clifford. Both have a some
experience abroad.
Miss Liebling il a oolarature soprano who
sang at Dresden under Ernst Won Schuch
in Lucia di Lainmermoor" and then APP
peared at Stuttgart and In other German
cities where she b. said 10 have met with
success.
Miss Clifford, who Is a native OF Illinois
studied in Paris after she gave up her emf
pioyment In a Chicago church choir and
appeared az an opera singer first In France.
Later she was engaged for the perform
ances OF the National Opera at Amsterdam
and learned all her roles In Dutch.
She came To this country last winter with
the French organization that sings in New
Orleans but remained la the company for
only a short time. Miss Clifford IL also "a
light soprano and like Miss Liebling de-
lights In horid music.
Jan Kubelik will next toe heard ia recita |
at Carnegie Hall a week from Wednesday
afternoon. He seems likely to repeat the
popular success he made in London. The
gathering tina heard his first recital here
was a wonderful evidence of the interest
awakened by the reports OF his perform
ances.
Visiting virttiosos rarely expect 10 be
received by large audiences. They hope
to attract them later; but Introductory
concerts are not as a rule reckoned among
the profitable ones of an American season.
SO IL was not astonishing that 1870 per
sons should have been in gle Hall
Oh that night. This Is the largest paving
crowd that ever gathered there. The
number has been exceeded only at political
meetings.
The difference between the vogue Of "a
pianist and a yiolinist II understood by
managers who thought that Daniel Froh-
man was undertaking a great risk in iring-
ing young kubelik here at the terms agreed
upon. The vast audiences that hear lgnace
Paderewslii are AZ a rulem mad up OF women
who play the piano or are at all events
familiar with its music. They are anxious
10 hear just how the great pianist will play
this number or that one.
The violinist has not. Of course, thisl larger
public. Violin players are not neal so
numerous rs pianist-. There j. conse-
quently no such widespread desire 10 hear
particular Interpretations by celebrities,
Violin ~recitals have never attracted such
audiences a. piau!srs are sometimes allie to
draw. II was for this reason that the pros
poets of great ~pecuniary success for Jan
Rubelik seemed uhiou But his success
here has justified his managers judgment
and AZ least one Violinist seems certain
10 create AZ much sensation a. a pianist.
New Orleans il delightLng now In its
season Of French opera and has so far heard
"Herodiade." "Sigurd" and -I'Africaine,"
rs well ~ the more familiar French roper
toire. The dramatic tenor of the com
pany Is an American named Henderson,
who sang last year at the Theatre de la
Monnaie in Brussels.
Anton Schott, the Wagnerian tenor,
who was one Of the pillars Of the early
German regime at the Metropolitan and
then went 10 live In the West. has returned
10 this city.
Edna Darch. the fourteen-year-old child
