Butt, singer who possesses COM
mand of the dramatic soprano COM
pass which makes her climaxes of or
chestral magnificence. The great con-
tralto sailed from the mainland in

The seat sale for the Butt concert
at Ye Liberty theater on the evening
of April 23-the only one which she
and Kennerley Rumford will give in
Honolulu-is very gratifying to the
theatrical management. The box plan

The rendering of scored music, de-
clares one writer. is scarcely less
potent in its influence than the voice
of the preacher. In Elijah for ex-
ample. the audience in imagination
follows the prophet as he flies from
the persecution of Jezebel into the
solitude of the wilderness Then as
the prophet lies weary and sick at
heart beneath a juniper tree there
breaks upon his ear the soothing
recitative, 20 Rest in the Lord, =
which. as rendered by Nine. Clara
Butts, never fails to lift an audience
into a hushed and reyerent attitude.
The power of Clara Butts lies not
only in her magnificent contralto
voice, but in the intense feeling she
puts into her words Her fine face,
illumined with dark glowing eyes and
framed in loosely bound black hair,
seems, when she is rendering a sacred
solo, to be looking over the audience
to the spiritual land beyondA And in
this respect Kennerley Rumford
equals his wife. Who that has heard
him in his finished style sing There
is Green Hill Far Away" but has
realized the scene of Calvary The
strength and depth OF her voice fairly
startled the London public, and the
critics We'd in praising the new star

been wronged by the woman he loved.
learns in after years that she is about
to attain fame as a Partisan music
hall singer, decides to wreck her life
as she had wrecked his, in a most
mysterious manner. 1t is then we see
him portray the fifty different char
acters and commit deeds that haffled,
not only the Partisan police, but Sect
land Yard. The scenes are mostly
laid in Paris and show society life im
the very highest, as well as the very
lowest. This picture is not of a
trashy nature, but story written by
a recognized novelist Of France, who
vouches for it as being story that
he had seen true to life. It was
staged by the famous French Eelair
Company and consists of three reels.
To see 1t is to appreciate IT, ia
Tosca" speaks for itself. The Divine
