BIC HIT SCORED

CONCERT
Solid Afternoon of Whole
some German Music EvokeS
Applause of Audience

| For the seasons fourth symphony
concert at the Cort theater yesterday
Mr. Hadley gave a solid afternoon of
wholesome German music. From the
Brahms No. l symphony, in which the
orchestra was plainly not at its best,
the program unfolded an example OF
artistic Improvement that eliminated
| in delightful rendition of the music
from the third act of Wagner's i'm
mortal die eMistersinger."
Mr.. Clarence Whitehill. late of the
Chicago grand opera company, was
the soloist. He sang what is perhaps
the saddest scene Wagner ever wrote.
that of the god Wotan's farewell to
his daughter Brunnhilde, in a sympa-
thetic and resonant voice of big range
and moderately large volume. The
audience, large and up to this point
not very enthusiastic, gave the singer
hearty ovation, In which Conductor
Hadley was rightfully included for
his masterful Interpretation of the
wonderful score full of the ever re-
curing sleep motive and the difficult
magic fire"
HUMPERDINCk OVERTURE
| The biggest individual hit of the
afternoon was scored by the beauti
full Humperdinck overture from the
"Konigskinder Here was music of
sheer sensuous beauty, full Of inspira

at a lively pace by Hadley and his
men and played throughout with spirit
and feeling.
| The last Wagner number consisted
of the Apprentice Dance" Entrance
of the Guilds" and the Procession of
Meistersingers." from the third act of
| Die Meistersinger,' and showed
every result of careful rehearsing,
particularly in the brasses, which
were here at their best
BRAHMS SYMPHONY
In the Brahm symphony, which,
though rich in material and harmon
| ization, showed Brahms lack of
knowledge of orchestration, the orr
chestra seemed to lack precision and
tone balance The second movement
was marked by some beautiful en-
semble work in the wood-wind Sec

solo by Mr.. Bertram- The difficult
| pizzicato stringendo of the fourth
movement was almost perfect and
with the opening of the final allegro

up and gave splendid account of
