 < New Haven has not had a baritone in years quite like MT Francis Rogers, who is to be the soloists for the fourth symphony concert in Woolsey hall on Tuesday. His voice is one of the rarely true kind, mellow and rich, rather than loud and voluminous, which is the quality of most bartones. Every year he gives a public song re- cital in New York, and even the most churlish of critics, those that are most niggardly of their praise, accede one thing to this popular young singer: Ills NOANN etiii NpliSulllllldlt dI |. All though he is regarded as one of the most fashionable among concert sing CTS, for his social vogue as a singer began during his student days at Harvard, where he was graduated yet his delightful personality has helped to make him a favorite with all classes on and off the stage. In Lon don he is as well known as in this country. He shines most in song re- cital, SC that New Haven will hear him at his best as he is to sing four days with piano accompaniment, song seldom heNd on our concert stage. Then, too, MT. Rogers will sing the great baritone aria from Massenet's Herodiade. His songs are: My Song is of the Sturdy North by Edward Germany; Love Me or Not by Sec chi; "rll Sail Upon the Dog Star" by Purcell, and "Henry( the Fowler" by Loewe.
