On Monday evening at Twentieth Cen
fury Hall Tennyson's melodrama, "Enoch
Arden with Richard Strauss musical
setting, was presented by Madame Brazil
and Mrs. George j. Sicard. Both artists
evinced musical appreciation of the
tragic story, complete sympathy with
the theme, and its musical rea-
ton to the poem, and so thoroughly
en- rapport with the various changes in
time and locality that the performance
was an artistic success. The stage set
ting enhanced the beauty of the two regal
looking women. who We're a delight to the
eye. Mrs. Sicard. in an evening gown of
blue crepe de chine, and Madame Brazil.
in rose pink silk; the latter stood at the
farther end of the piano. a graceful pic
ture of statuesque repose. while Mrs.
Sicard, seated at the piano, read in an in
formal manner the leading mtoifs, which
she subsequently illustrated by playing
certain passages. many of which occur
frequently during the reading of the poem.
1t was a great pleasure to listen to
Madame Brazzi's recital; her rich con-
tralto voice and fine diction acquainting
one with the tunefulness which should al
ways exist in the speaking voice. Madame
Brazil evinced dramatic ability and emo
tional intensity, which moved her audi
ence 10 tears III the most palnetlc scenes.
Madame BraZZi's voice was tragic. pa
thetic, emotional. The recurrence of GER
tain haunting measures of the opening
theme and the unexpected transitions
combined to present to the sympathetic
listeners a vivid mental picture of vary
ing periods of time, emotions, and eX-
perience of Enoch's heroism his hope
lessness, under the palm beneath the
blazing sun, when nature and solitude
alike were pitiless. The entire interpre-
taton of poem and song, by reader and pi-
aniSt, episode in relation, was given with
impassioned fervor and artistic finish.
which held the audience spellbound. and
who by their silence and tears paid the
most sincere compliment possible to the
two artists until the conclusion, after
which raptuorous applause recalled them
to the footlights to bow their thanks and
to receive clusters of vioets. Neighboring
cities would enjoy an intellectual and mu-
steal treat If they can persuade Madame
Brazil and Mrs. Sicard to repeat this en-
tertainment outside of our city. 1t is sell
dom possible to find such an eXcep-
tionaly fine reader as Madame Brazzi
gifted with a superb voice, and so finished
an accompanist. so thorough a musician
as the charming Mrs. Scard Buffalo is
to be congratulated for having taken the
initiative, introducing under such favor
able auspices Richard Strauss unique
