BY WALTER ANTHONY


Nine. Jomelli, the splendid soprano
from Oscar Hammerstein's New York
forces, viii give her second concert in
this city today at the Novelty theater,
and it should be attended by a throng
Last Thursday night at the Novelty
theater, when the singer made her
first bow, there was a very select au-
dience and very appreciatiye. 1t was
made of the right material, but there
wasn't enough material. Comment on
this deplOrable fact has been made by
the writer with the full knowledge
that you can not scold people into go
ing TO concerts or other attractions.
This may be taken as a warning to
those who appreciate beautiful singing
that a feast is being neglected when
you miss Jomellis mature yet fresh
and sparkling art.
An interesting program has been ar
ranged for this afternoon. Nine. Jo-
melli will sing an aria from Puccini'S
la Tosca." which, if one may judge by
her rendition last Friday night of the
MasSenet aria from ''Thais,'' should be
a superlative bit of dramatic song;
Bemberg's Chant de Bacchante"; Rich
ard Strauss "Heimliche Aufferderung';
The Wind" by Spross; Hugo VOLTS
In dem Schatten meiner Locken;"
"Chanson de Neige," by Chaminade;
and Carl Loewe's mighty ballad.
''Niemand hats geshn." Nine. Jomelli
will close her program with work
by a modern French composer, Leroux,
The Nile" with violin obligato.
Miss Nichols, violinist, will be heard
in several selections Frederick
Maurer Jr. will accompany.
At her final concert next Tuesday
night Nine. Jomelli will sing an aria
from Charpentier's Louise and Sc
lections from Brahms, Hahn, Wolf,
Schubert and other masters of song
writing.
Wednesday at Sis Nine. JomelIi
and Miss Nichols will appear at the
Liberty theater in Oakland
Manager and prima donna are
pleased with the results of Nine Tetraz-
zini's concert tour through the Eng
lish provinces prior to her present ap-
pearance at the Manhattan in New
York. Percy Harrison, the manager of
the tour, signed a contract with the
great singer for next spring and sum-
mer and she will receive 500 guineas
for each recital That is the record
price for England. Tetrazzini's enor-
nous hit in New York last week is now
a matter of musical history.
Nellie Widman Blow. who is to be
presented to San Francisco music
lovers by Ernest Horstmann at an early
date, is a pupil of Herr Hammer
sanger A. Heinemann, a noted German
Lfedersanger in Berlin. She has toured
southern Germany successfully and has
a wide repertoire of songs. Combined
with a musical temperament and inteUi-
gence the young woman has a mczzo
soprano voice of extended range and
warm with sympathy. A successful
career may be easily predicted for the
young singer.
Manager VIII Greenbaum expects an
extraordinary season of song when Dr.
Ludwig Wullner appears at the close
of this month. The first concert will
be held Tuesday evening. November %,
and already a heavy demand for res
circumstance that Doctor Wullner has
prefer of the classics of German poetry
and melody Greenbaum will offer sea-
son tickets for the three recitals at re-
duced rates for the advantage of those
who would not miss a single song. No
artist visiting this country has created
the comment and excited the interest
that Doctor Wullner has done. Single
and season tickets will be placed on sale
at Sherman, Clay & Co.'S Kearny street
store Wednesday morning. An Oak
land recital is being planned and the
date and place will be announced in due
time.
Immediately following the wullner
concerts George Hamlin, an American
tenor who has compelled admiration
for his voice and art in Europe and has
recently returned from trans Atlantic
