membered as one of the artistic musicales
OF the season. The coming of Janpolski
Is rV. ardea as especially momentous, FOR
his is type of the singer that one
rarely hears. He is recognized, indeed,
DIS the only interpreter of the Russian

Russian composers and the quaint wierd
songs of the peasants in their original
tongue. The Stats Zeitung of New York,
in referring to his rendition of The Eugen
Onegn aria recently said;
ut is the first time that this Tschai-
kowsky aria has been heard in New York
and it made one anxious for more init
mate acquaintance with other unheard
Russian operas The high, exacting music
suited Mr.. Janpolski's splendid virie
voice and his entire Interpretation of the
dashing roue was admirable. He re-
sponded to a repeatedly demanded encore
by a strange. weird song, also in Russian
tongue. Mr. Damroscb accompanying him
