SCRUMANN -HEINK DELIGHTS
Famous Singers Afternoon Recital
an Artistic Triumph.
In Splendid Voice, She Renders Pro
gramme of Wide Range with
Greatest Ease.

! one Of the most successful and artistic
concerts Of the season was that given Al
the BelascO Theater yesterday afternoon
oy Nine. Schmann-Heink This singer.
famous alike in grand opera in light
opera, and on the concert platform. is
one OF Washington's prime favorites. and
as result the theater was crowded from
the upper gallery to the first row on the
flrst floor. and the audience was one Of
that enthusiastic, appreciative kind that
stimulates an artist 10 his or her best
work.
Nine Sehumann-Heink has never been
IN better voice or. apparently. in better
spirits than she was yesterday. Always
she sings with the greatest ease. and at
ialns with apparently no effort. and by
the simplest methods. results that many
another singer would give her head TO
gam Yesterday she gave a programme
that might well have taxed any singer
ranging, as II did. from Mozart 70 Wagl
sner- from Brahms to Meyerbeer. and in
.eluding simple English ballads.
II was most varied and a most diff
cult programme TO render. but this won
derful contraltc went from song TO song
from classical 10 comparatively modern
music from grave 20 gay. from lively
10 severe" without any evidence of
strain She opened with the recitative
and aria 'Vitella," from the opera
Titus" by Mozart. singing I'm Italian
Then came arias from the opera "Samp-
son and Dalila'' by Saint-Saens and
on on h.
These extremely difficult numbers led the
way for the second part OF the pro
gramme, which was given up 20 Wagner
f3rst. Nine Schumann- Heink sang the
Wal'rauten. from the opera .'GOtter-
cammerung. and afterward the recita-
tive and aria. 'Adriano,' - from "Rienzi.-
The third part Of the concert introduced
hgnter music First the Die Allnacht'
Of Franz Schubert: then the '.Fruhllngs-
nacht Of Robert SchUmann. and finally.
SIX marvellous Hungarian gypsy songs by
Brahms.
But the big hit was made in the fourth
part Of the concert. when she sang hve
songs in English: Love in Cottage"
His LULLABY "Danza." 20 Let Nizht
Speak Of Me. and The Rosary" by
.Nevin- This latter song. 50 infinitely
pathetic and touching. she sang with an
immensity OF feeling which was reflected
IN the tears she drew from the eyes Of
her listeners At the conclusion OF the
song there was silence for a moment
and then tumult OF applause. and with
tears on her own checks the famous
singer bowed and. mOtiOning 10 her ac-
companist, repeated the song.
The concert was most enjoyable from
beginning 20 end. and had the audience
of yesterday had its way il would have
been twice as long. As il was Nine.
Schumann-Heink was gracious in the
matter Of encOres and she responded most
gracefully 20 the hearty applause. AT
the conclusion OF the recital she was
called out again and again. and with
great kindness she insisted on her ac-
companist Mrs. Katherine Hoffman.
whose work was beyond criticism. shar-

One Fish Didn't Grow.

| A number of men were telling of re-
markable catches off Atlantic City, and
one of them said that one day he
caught very small cod, and, not car
ing to take home such little fellow,
he took piece of copper wire, ran it
through the tail of the fish, and on one
end of the wire he attached a copper
tag with his hume scratched upon it..
'tThe next year when l was off there, "
continued the man, 81 got a heavy
pull on the line, and after five minutes
fighting landed twelve pound cod,
and there on its tail was my tag"
''That reminds me of similar ex-
perience off there" said another man.
~ caught one of those small cod, and
| wanted to hang some sort of identifi-
casion on it, but L couldn't find any
thing in the copper tag line from one
end of the boat to the other. did find,
however, little tin whistle in one of
my pockets, and, running wire
through the tail of the fish. 1 hung
on the whistle and threw the cod back
into the water.
''The following year | got a most pc
culiar bite on my hook, and after pull
ing in the line l got the surprise of my
life. There was the same little cod.
He hadn't grown an inch, but hang
ing on his tail was a long fog horn. y
