CAROLINA. WHITE

In measuring the splendid success of
the appearance in Missoula last night
OF Carolina White, soprano of the Chi.
cago Grand Opera company, in song
recital, she having been ably assisted
by Theodore Sturkow Ryder, pidniste,
1t is necessary to consider the enter
tainment from two separate view
points First of all it was an artistic
triumph and Carolina White, in whom
reposes a bubbling spring of song
that comes forth in artistic rills or
gushes out in unlimited volume of
majestic power at the artists will,
surpassed the fondest expectations of
music lovers of the Garden city. No
praise that has been given her work
and there has been columns of it writ
ten since her opening with her COM
pany his seaSon-has flattered her
real worth. And hen from a stand
point which is encouraging to the Mis-
soula Philharmonic society, under
whose auspices the recital was made
possible, the affair was a financial
success. The response to the oppor-
tunitN extended was generous. There
was a well-filled house to hear the
- li''o ot't 'lShl LIZ Tie I6CtlplS were
sufficient to cover the heavy expenses
and leave an unexpected margin TO the
~1lilahormonic society.
Before her Missoula audience Caro-
lima white divided honors last evening
with Theodore Ryder. Her piano
numbers showed her to be an artist of
r"re technique and feeling. The dali
bert suite first played on the program,
gave the best demonstration of her in
depreciation of the classical Her sec
ond group of numbers We're Lighter, but
In ~Polichinelle by BachmaninOff, less
vel known, perhaps, han his Prelude,
opportunity was given for the display
of her wonderfully expressive playing.
This was perhaps the masterpiece of
her program and she mastered the dar~
ing eccentricity of Russian feeling
written into his composition perfectly.
AS an encore she gave Etude a'Jap-
anese tPlodini) and here her wonderful
technique showed brilliantly.
An attempt at a criticism which will,
in even a small degree, do justice to
Carolina White and her wonderful
voice, presents in~surmountable OBJ
stacles, especially to one who is de-
MED, except upon rare occasions all
tco tar apart. the opportunity of hear
ing artists in her class and of keeping
IN touch with grand opera. Her pro-
gram last night vas so arranged that
IL not only gave expression for Nine
Whites remarkable range, but called
fol those accomplishments of voice and
manne which have made her a grand
opera star. No one could see and hear
her last night and then wonder why
she has made so great a success and
has called forth so much praise. In
her operate selections one feels the
greatest strength of her work and can
see the inspiration for it comes from
her grand opera Work 1t had in it
that element of greatness that makes
her excel. In the group of italian
songs she sang last night she brought
out IN" dramatic with force and poWer,
while the Spring Song from "Natoma,"
the new opera by Victor Herbert, really
his first serious production, she sang
with such brilliance that it was easy
to understand the applause sic has
o with it in the east. But those
who did not hear Carolina White can

who heard already know her worth.
