Audience With Mastery
interpretations

From the smooth. melodic flow OF
Mozart to the staccato sarcasm OF
Berlioz is far cry. but yesterday at
the Scottish Rite ausitorium It was
compassed by the peerless Emilio de
Gogorza
He seems. more than ever, to oc-
cupy d solitary niche N the hearts
OF the concert going public. He
thrills the musically uneducated with
the singular purity and warmth of
his lower voice, which, by the way,
has taken on new viriIity and reso-
nance since his last visit here.
He is the delight and DESPAIR Of the
educated singer, the vocal teacher, the
violin student. They lean forward
and stop breathing as his indescrlb-
able phrasing in the softer passages
of La Partida" floats from the stage.
In the first group of songs De Co
gorza revealed his mastery of bel
canto in the Mozart 'sSerenade." Fol-
lowing immediately came the Gluck
recitative and aria from "lphigenie. en-
Tauride," in which the barytone dis
played to good advantage his great
gift of dramatic xpresSion-possibly
more than a gift, 1T comes from the
blending of musicianly brain and
Latin temperament Even in Gogorza's S
big moments there still seemed to be
a reserve force of emotional power at
his comand
The "Feldeinsamkeit of Brahms
proved uninteresting. "Lockruf" was
exquisitely phrased and gave ample
breath control We had the first
thrill of the afternoon in Schumann's
''Widmung," and forced the singer to
repeat it.
With Hue's "J'ai pleure en- reve"
Gogorza reached his zenith of pure
tone productions; into this saddest Of
melodies he dropped sincere cry of
pain.
Blithely he gave US the quaint in
tervals of the "Mandoline" of De-
busy, song full Of difficult technical
passages. but poured forth with any
effort there may have been concealed
by consummate artistry. Here again
the Gogorza phrasing was pre-emi-
nent
The version of Sally in Our Alley
was an unfamiliar one, and betrayed
a slight lack of resonance in the
upper tones. Gogorza seemed bit
nervous in the beginning of 'The
Lost Chord" but built up a tremen-
uDuS C4IIildA III the clOSlHS phi ftscS
and fairly shook the seats with the
thrill of his upper G.' He sang
Tours Mother of Mine as an encore.
"LA PARTIDA" A MAsTERPIECE
Gogorza was not al his best in the
negro folksong, Uncle Rome" The
meaning of the lyric was clouded in
his somewhat indistinct enunciation.
But the La Partida" of Alvarez was
rendered with such mastery of inter
probation that it is to be regretted
that more of the song literature of
sunny Andalusia was not represented
on the program.
Gogorza gave a rare bit of char
acterization in the Berlioz serenade of
Mephistopheles-o heard, in fancy.

Would Violate Geran Law.

County Chairman Haggerty.
From a stan correspondence

TRENTON. N. J.. April l4-George
A. Viehmann. IN an open letter 10
Thomas H. Haggerty, chairman OF
the Middlesex Democratic County
Committee. today denounced the Ell
fort that is being made by some
Democrats there to deliver the vote
of Middlesex county to Mayor Otto
Wittpenn. of Jersey City.
Mr.. Viehmann says the attempt to
deliver the Middlesex vote to Witt
penn is violative of the spirit OF the
Geran election law.
Mr.. Viehmann says the intent and
spirit of the Geran law was to secure
the nomination of candidates by the
free voice and the votes of the
people.
He saws three-fourths of the voters
there do not know who Mayor Witt
pen is, and that the ultimate result
of dictation in favor of Wittpenn Is
defeat.
He denounces Mayor Wfttpenn as
a political schemer and one whose ac-
tions have been influenced by politi-
cal motives. Mr.. Viehmann, in con-
clusion says
IF the Geran law is to continue 10
be our rule of action certainly the
spirit and intent of 1t should be OBJ
served
Mr.. Viehmann is former mayor OF
New Brunswick.
