Eugene Cowles sang again to Omaha
friends last night. The cleared rostrum
OF a church was his stage" a dress suit
wah his "ccstume' But the grandeur
OF his voice was left unchanged, and that
was all his friends fsthe old Bostonians
days had hoped for or desired. 1t had
the old immeasurable strength, the old
unblemished smoothness and the old ca
pacity for arousing in human breasts those
emotions that lie beyond the Seach of any
save the truly gifted.
There was time, perhaps. when there
was propriety and justice In subjectins
Mr.. Cowles to that layman's criticism
passed upon the entertainers of the stage
but years ago his gift his genius and his
wisely directed effort carried him above
and beyond that, and now II Is enough
to say that he has not deteriorated, has
not descended so much as a single steI
from the high place upon which he stoot
when his friends in Omaha last heard him
AS for this change of method, 1t Is pleas
| ing rather than disappointing. He scent
now to be singing more directly to eacl
| individual. listener; to be telling me
rather than "the house" that he loves tn,
sound of The Horn" that he has no
Forgotten that he wishes to meet hi
| pilot face to face when he has "CrosseC
the Barr" that he still adores Peggy fl
her Low Backed Car" and that he glorie
in the ring OF the hammer on the anvil
| The consequence of this more persona
address is a more immediate personal re-
sponse, and despite the fact that las
nights assemblage far from filled tn
church, the salvos that greeted him upoi
each temperance and the applause tina
fingered long after he had bowed himsol
from sight we're of all the Vigor and vol
ume that the place and occasion coul'
| countenance.
Yet It must not be inferred that Mr
| Cowles' announced solos and the old favor
ties that he gave in response to encore
we're the only meritorious numbers on tn
program. without Mr. Cowles, Mr.. Cowles
1 company would stiiI be a strong organiSa
| tion of entertainers. In any other compan
than such as his. each Of the three nigh
shine as a star Of full luster, for 1t is onl
the comparison that makes them seer
minor Signora Ciaparelli came a strange
and leaves q favorite with all who hear
her rich, pure tones. Miss harrington
by no means the best viollrist Omaha ha
ever heard. but she is one in whose playin
there are no flaws serious enough to mai
Mr.. Pyck has the misfortune to be peculia
In his bearing. but, once seated, he play
easily, simply and well.
