MR.. R0GERs'S RECITAL.
Popular Bnrytone Heard In Pleasant
List OF Songs.

Francis Rogers, barytone. assisted by
Isidore Luckstone at tho plano. was heard
In a song recital yesterday afternoon at
the Little Theatre. The occasion pr,vea
TO be a pleasant one for song lovers.
though II brought 10 mind the suggestion
that Mr.. Rogers as local artist might
easily be heard more frequently here than
1t is now his custom to appear. He is
one of the most firmly grounded singers
In the art OF song we have. and TO hear
one OF his carefully arranged programmes
brings an enjoyment TO the connolssaur
Of vocal style as well as much profitable
instruction to the vocal student In general
At his recital of yesterday there was
an audience of goodly size. and IT was
extremely cordial throughout The LIST
OF songs Mr.. Rogers presented bore rather
upon bare outline in historical variety
than upon any one school. 1t began with
two old Italian airs, one by Cariss.mi
"Vittoria" and "Nina" OF Pergolesl Then
followed Lullrs "Bois Epais." two old
French songs, "Vive Henri W. and
Glamour de Mol" and two old German
airs The latter enc OF the French songs
the audience wished t. have repeated and
the singer sang again the last stansa.
In "A group OF standard German songs
Fin Ton" by Cornelius. also had 20 he
repeated. and Schubert's "Aufenthalt" and
30 llebliche Wangen," by Brahms brought
forth much applause. In songs OF such
high range as Brahms's IAN die Nachti-
gall there were some moments when the
singer was less fortunate in obtaining
accuracy OF pitch as well as good tone. but
these DEFICIENCIES were less noticeable In
heng offset by much excellence OF musl-
clanly feeling and taste In Interpretation.
In the last part OF the programme Mr.
Rogers was wholly at his best and i'm
Scotch songs an especially fine vein
OF characterization.
