Va evening in Simpson auditorium.
Gadsli is considered by those who have
heard her in concert in the east greater
than at any previous time in her
career. AS she was always exceedingly
satisfactory in operatic roles, she
should be quite acceptable in her new
field of recital work. She is ably sup
ported by Herr Meyrowitz. Her pro-
grams will include arias from oper-
attic roles from Mozart to Wagner, and
songs in all languages, which will
range from the purely classical lieder
of Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert,
Brahms and Franz to popular modern
songs, thus illustrating the catholicity
and versatility of her highly finished
art.
The program for Monday evening is
as follows; Part 1 classical arias and
songs) "Widmung," (Schumann);
"Liebchen list Da" (Franz); "Aus
Meinen Grossen Scbmerzen" (Franz);
"Erlkonig" (Schubert) "Meine Viebe
