MUSIC AND MUSICIANS

Mr.. Francis Rogers gave a charming
recital last night at the Lyric. this being
the third of the Chase concerts. IT was
we'll attended and the audience was en-
tirely en- rapporte with the artist, who has
an unusually pleasing personality. An
American truly, born in Boston, graduated
at Harvard. studying music in Boston and
later in European musical centers, he gives
the impression first and foremost of
thorough student of the art of singing.
His voice is a rich, resonant baritone, and
shows most careful cultivation. Not of
exceptional range, he gets the best effects
in his higher voice, with beautiful head
tones. I'M the production of the higher
chest tones he gave one feeling that they
were not properly produced 'and 1T was
noticeable that he was of the pitch
several times, not enough, however, to
mar the pleasure which his singing gave.
He was at his very best in the French
and Irish ballads.
In the first group of songs, he sang
delightfully."- Love Me or Not" by Secchi.
it being rendered with great tenderness
and feeling; THE wanderer' lacked in
fervor. His singing of Henry. the Fowler
| called forth. a decided encore, to which he
responded with that old-time favorite,
Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes"
In the second group the Tschaikowsky
and Chaminade numbers were beautifully
sung, the "Barcarolle of Bemberg closing
/ the group of songs by foreign composers

| Sidney Homer's Requiem was given
with the greatest depth and breadth OF
