MISS METCALFE'S SINGING.
A Song Interpreter Of Fine IntuitiOns
and Dainty style.

Susan Met calfe gave a song recital at
Mendessohn Hall vest erday afternoon.
That is a statement which carries with it
the assurance that something interesting
was done. quaint, earnest, serious little
woman is this Miss Metcalfe, whom the
gods did not make opulent of voice, but to
whom they vouchsafed a lovely yearning
after good things in art. Yet even in the
matter of voice this singer shows develop
ment. She has more tone than she used
TO have when she first piped her tentative
lays on the concert platform and COM
manded attention because she understood
the messages of masters.
Whatever she has been doing, she has
found out how to project more OF her voice
into an audit orium, and how to make her
middle register sound larger than linnet s.
To be sure, volume of sound will not equip
one for rtistic singing, but it is an ex-
tremely useful thing in the business. 1t is
good for little Miss Metcalfe that she can
sing more solidly han she did at first.
1t was true when she first appeared.
and it is still true, that her vocal method
is studded with defects The most serious
of all is her inability to enunciate without
disturbing her tones. Her worst fault in
this is an exaggerated movement of the
lower jaw, especially in the utterance OF
the dental consonants a movement which
SO draws upon the muscles of the chin
extending to the larynX as to disturb the
pose of the vocal cords in the delivery OF
tones and thus completely break the singers
legato and often throw her of the pitch.
This accounts for many of her slips in
intonStion and for her frequent inability to
begin tone on the note she is seeking.
When she gets rid of this fault she will be
more nearly able 10 sing such numbers as
Jacqln's "Addio," which so ruthlessly ex-
posed her deficiencies yesterday. She was
heard to much better advantage in German
heder demanding intelligence, insight and
poetic feeling, but she was very successful
with difficult piece of Handelian legato
called care Selve." In this her excellent
breath control enabled her to deliver some
long and troublesome sustained phrases
most beautifully.
1t was a hazardous thing to sing "Nuss-
baum" so soon after Sembrich, but Miss
Metcalfe sang it admirably. Schumann's
unfamiliar "Geisternaehe" she interpreted
with much warmth, and her delivery OF
Franz's setting of the Suabian "Die Trau-
ernde' was exquisitely dainty and refined.
Similar fragrance of style was that Of her
singing of Brahmss " Das Maedchenspricht.'
which she had to repeat, Her poetic in
sight and feeling were in strong evidence
in her reading of Brahmss thinner leiser
wrd mein Schlummer." In short, it was
thoroughly interesting song recital that she
gave. Her delicate appreciation OF detail
and her fine intuitions would be worth
mint to many a singer who has three times
her capital in voice.

FIGHT OVER "MONNA WANNA"
Mr.. Fisl<c says the American Rights Are
His. Not Conried's, by Purchase.


That there is going to be a dispute over
the production in German of Maurice
Maeterlinck's drama "Monna Wanna" at
Heinrich Conrieds Irving Place Theatre
was made apparent by a statement sent
out last night by 3 representative of Har-
rison Grey Fiske. who says that he has
secured the American rights for the play
Mr.. Conried has advertised the first pro-
duction of -Monna Wanna at his theatre
tonight.
According to MIR. Fiske's representative.
Mr.. Fiske made a contract dated Nov. |,
with Maeterlinck which grants to Mr. Fske
in perpetuty the sole and exclusive right
and authorization to produce Monna
Wanna or to have that play produced in
all languages. except the French language,
on the stage within the United States of
America and the Dominion Of Canada
Tho st atement also says that Miss Alice
Kauser, agent here for Maeterlinck, com
municated witt him as soon as the Conried
production was advertised and received
cablesram from him yesterday fully con-
the exclusive rights. Mr.. Fiske has ordered
cost ume designs for the production In
English and he says that the scenes will be
painted in conformity with sketches APP
proved by the dramatist.
Herr Conried said last night that he
bough the rights for production In Ger
man from the translator. who turned the
play into German.
II don't know whether he had the rights

fident that my action is warranted. / am

SLIGHT JAR CAUSE OF DEATHP
Girls Head JOlted and She Died Of Spinal
Meningitis.

NEW ROCHELLE, N V, Dec. 16-Physi-
clans and specialists are puzzled over the
mysterious death Of Mary Lynch, the
twenty-two-year-old daughter OF James
Lynch, a confidential clerk in the store OF
B. Altman Il Co., which occurred this
morning at her homo in Westchester.
Three weeks ago Miss Lynch was healthy
and robust. When she was taken III she
was thought to be suffering from malorial
fever. In few days she complained of
severe pains in her head and spinal menin-
gifts developed. Doctors say 1t is not
possible to determine the actual cause of
the ailment without an autopsy.
The parents of the girl say that the only
thing to which they can attribute her
disease is an accident which occurred
three weeks ago, and which at the time
they regarded as trivial.
Tho girl and her mother were on their
way home from New York on a train on
the Harlem River branch of the New Haven
Railroad. Miss Lynch was resting her
head on the back OF the seat when the train
gave sudden jolt. The jar caused her
head to be jerked forward and her neck
ached for minute

CHOIR TO DEFY GERRY SOCIETY
Which Opposes the Boys Appearance
at a Theatre ''ParsifaI' Lecture.

II is not unlikely that there will be trouble
this afternoon when Helen Rhodes delivers
her lecture on "Parsifal' at the New Ly-
ceum Theatre. Daniel Frohman has an
nounced that the lecture will be illustrated
not only by pictures of the Bayreuth pro-
ducton, but by music, and to fulfil this
last promise has arranged to have the
Grace Church choir Of forty boys to sing.
Application was made to the Mayor by
the New Lyceum Theatr people yesterday
for a permit for the boy singers to appear
on the st age and sing. The application was
opposed by the Gerry society and was
turned down.
A representative Of the theatre said last
night. however, that the boys would appear
on the stage. and sing, notwithstanding the
outcome Of the application. The choir will
sing in the production of "Parsifal'. at tho
Metropolitan Opera House, but is not
subject to interference on the part of the
Gerry society in that production because
the boys will not appear on the stage.

Can small orange-shaped man be the
twin" of a tall person who reminds one of
toothpick on legs? That is one OF the
questions that a jury in the Supreme Court
will have TO pass on to-day when the case OF
Mclaughlin VIZ. Hammerstein is called for
trial. The other questions relate to
matter of 81 ,3O5 in unpaid salaries and an
alleged breach of contract
james Mclaughlin Is the elongated one
of the Marco twins and he says that
Hammerstein engaged him and his rotund
twin to play at the Victoria Roof Garden
at stipulated salary Of 1925. Hammer
stein however, cancelled the contract
after one week, assevcrating with many
gestures that the twins were not twins. but
that only one Of them was a twin.
Mclaughlin. says Hammerstein, used to
play with quite a different twin some years
ago, and Oscar decided that if he couldn't
have that twin for the Victoria then he'd
rather not have any.
Mclaughlin intends to satisfy the jury
that his partner is the real article in twins
and also that Hammerstein should not be
allowed TO break a contract just because
