Nine. Blauvelts program was large
ly the same as that which she rendered
not long since at her notable concert
In Ogden, 1t was made up OF Italian,
German, French and English numbers,
and ranged from selections calling for
such brilliant vocallzation as Rossini's
una Voce POGO Fa" down to such
exquisite bits as Roses After Rain"
and my Bairnie." While she did some
beautiful work, and caused furore
for the italian number, TO those who
know Of what she Is capable. II was
evident that Nine. Bauvelt was not
at her best last evening She had had
a long trip and was laboring from
throat WEAKNESS, and this impaired at
times certain hardness and lack OF |
sympathy to some OF her tones. Con-
slderlng this, II II remarkable that she
created the enthusiasm last night that |
she did, Her voice seems TO be rather
q mezzo than high soprano, her rich
est tones being In the middle and mid |
die lower registers. One OF her dis |
tinct charms is her articulation, and II |
WAS relief indeed 10 hear a singer
capable OF singing, and making the |
audience understand the story at the |
same time. In addition. she presents |
q charming personal appearance that |
wins an audience from the start. She |
had any number OF recalls during the |
program, and after the concluding |
number the audience remained to call !
her back, and insisted on another.
After the concert, Nine. Blauvelt and |
her husband Mr., Pendleton, drove to |
the Tabernacle, where 100 or more |
specially invited guests assembled to !
hear her sing two numbers, and to lis |
