Mrs. Pauline Miller-Chapman, vo-
calist, was given a most hearty and
enthusiastic reception at the Harris,
Tuesday evening by an audience
which came to listen to her interpre-
tation Of an exceedingly difficult pro-
gram.
Il was Mrs Chapman's first ap-
pearance before an American audi
ence since her return from a foreign
concert tour.
Mrs. Chapman's selections were
largely from Donizetti, Franz, schu-
mann and Won Weber. It was prob
ably in the simple Scotch song, my
Ain Folk by Lemon, that she best
pleased the audience, in which the
depth and richness of her voice were
shown to the best advantage. The
"piece de resistance however, was
the aria, "Oh Milo Fernando" from
the opera La Favorita."
Mrs. Chapman sang with rare eff
feet, "oh MILO Fernando" from La

Grace, beauty, talent, charm, all
these Mary Mannering has, and has
in abundance. Besides these she has
a suppleness that is feline and a form
and action that are leonine in their
strength. In her presentation of her
conception and creation of her part
in "A Mans World" at the Grand
Saturday night, she surely carried
the big audience away with her. They
forgot time and place; they forgot
they were witnessing a play, and
looked upon and lived with the act
ress the scdhes her art created. When
the final curtain fell each felt that
they had been part Of real, living
event. There was absolutely nothing
to criticize, and 1t is impossible in
mere words to do justice to Miss Man
nering's magnificent work. It is as
impossible to describe as some deli
cate flavor, for the words cannot con-
vey the impression. The only way to
get an idea of Mary Mannering is to
