Felix Hughes Recital.

! The CLEVELAND Press gives the FOL
lowing account, written by the critic
Wilson G. Smith, Of q recent song re-
cital given by Felix Hughes, the son
of Judge and Mrs. Felix T. Hughes.
Keokuk is very proud Of this remark
! ably talented family which includes
Rupert Hughes, the author and Greta
Hughes Witherspoon, the very well
known New York vocal teacher. Her
husband Herbert Witherspoon, is the
leading bass singer in America today:
Felix Hughes annual song recital
at Hotel Statler Wedn esday evening
proved to be the most interesting ne
has ever given. Such seemed to be
the general verdict of the audience,
and the Press critic-for once at
least-agrees with the popular YER
dict
The program was one of finely
balanced artistic proportions, and, its
interest, both in the song material
and it's presentation, was accumula-
tive until the final cadence Of the
last American song. There can be no
disputation as to Hughes artistic in
tent and thorough conception OF the
refined phases of artistic interpreta-
ton. Song Is but vocal.zed speech
and is but q reflection of the verbal
text. 1t is intelligence and artistic
perception and conception that go to
make the artist It is for this reason
that the Hughes recital was so inter-
asting. It was an intelligent exposi-
ton of a program of German, French,
Italian and American songs that de-
manded and displayed much artistic
versatility. It was in the French and
American songs that the recitalist
won the most favor with his audi
ence, several encores b=ing demand
ed. And be it said, too, that in the
native songs of HUM, Carpenter and
Rogers, the fact was abundantly DEM
onstrated that the sons of America
are writing songs to compare with
the best Of modern lyric effort.
In the Wind Song" James H.
Rogers has added another gem to
vocal literature. Hughes sang them
all with fine artistic appreciation.
Mrs. Hughes, at the piano, contrib
I'd to the success of the recital.
