RECITAL PROVES
TO BE BRILLIANT
Violinist and Singer Appear
Before Appreciative
Audience.

Niolinist OF splendid ability and
singer with = voice of rare beauty
combined last night to make the re-
turn OF Mrs. Arthur Burdettc ingalls,
from her studics abroad one Of the
most notable and pleasant musical
events of the year. After months of
work in Europe Mrs. ingalls, came
back to give the representative audi
cnce that comfortably filled the Ha-
waiian Opera House probably the best
violin performance that Honolulu has
heard. /, was return that amply
justified all that had been said Of her
locally and on the mainland and to
prove the wisdom OF her choice Of
teachers while away
Mrs. Riley Harris Allen, coloratura
soprano, and Miss Else Werthmuller,
accompanies, assisting Mrs Ingalls,,
scored a triumph at her debut locally,
and Miss Else Werthmuller, accom-
PIANIST, went through a remarkably
trying program ably.
Mrs. ingalls, is a Consumma,C mis-
trC5s of that jealous instrument, the
violin. Her performance Is at once
startling and reassuring. Eaultless
Of technique, with flashing bril-
lance like diamond in execution,
she can easily gain the admiration Of
4 her audience by sheer power over the
delicate strings. She had few man
nerisms when she went away and she
, mas not picked up any. Few violinists
take the work rs coolly as Mrs In
gals, but 1t does not follow that she
loses anything. Her bowling is excel
lent, and the program she gave last
night was varied enough to bring out
any technical flaws If she has them
/ but apparently she has not.
Mrs. Ingalls, offered to the audience
| things that would strike the most
critical fancy, from the involved con-
ccrto to the dainty, simple Handel pre-
lude, the tender "BerCeuse Slave" by
Neruda, and broadly Jovial Dutch
4 dance by Dittersdorf, with its clack-
/ ing of wooden shoes woven into the
| theme. AS might have been expected,
! the more popular pieces were given
the most prolonged applause, but vio-
/ lin-lOvers appreciated best those
which called forth all her powers.
The vocal part of the concert was
delightful surprise to the audience
| introducin. Mrs. Riley Harris Allen,
n newcomer who made her initial
bow to the music-lOving public. She
possesses a colOratura soprano voice
of much sweetness aud power, and
! her selections last evening were ones
that displayed very beautiful vo al
! qualities. Mrs. Allen handled the
diff alt songs with perfect ease, and
, in the simpler songs, that formed the
| first part Uf the program, the purity
| of her upper register was particular
! ly noticeable. This gifted artist ap.
! pCaged four times in plOgi am Of
/ nine numbers, and responded to the
cn'Cres that were enthusiastically
, accorded her. In spite of the un'
usual demands made on her vocal
powers, her singing in the last mum
! Der, MOZart's ARIA from the Magic
! Flute" was the climax of her eff
forts, and the unusual freshness and
range of her voice was marvellous.
There has never been an artist that
! has been received more enthusiastic
ally in Honolulu and she Is distin t
addition to the musical colony.
