ELINA GERHARDT
IN SONG RECITAL
German Singer Returns to Local
Concert Stage With Inter-
esting Programme.
QUALITIES OF HER ART

The field OF the song recital is uncom-
monty fruitful at this moment and tho
lover OF this intimate form OF interpreted
ton has plenty Of opportunities 10 study
strongly marked styles and captivating
artistic personalities. The field was fur
ther widened by the temperance yes
terday afternoon In Carnegie Hail Of
Elina Gerhardt. soprano Much has been
written about Miss Gerhardt's singing
and much will be. tor her art Ia a singular
union Of high accomplishment with short
comines found among public singers OF
much inferior rank
Miss Gerhardt has very beautiful
voice. but its placing is not perfect.
when, however. she sings songs calling
for quietude of manner, she In able to
sustain her phrases admirably to produce
a ravishing quality OF tone. and to sing
smoothly and In tune. ON the other
hand. whenever she attempts lyrics call
Ing for vigor of style. she Is prone to
break into vehemence, her breathing he
comes labored. her phrastng often III
planned, her tone quality hard and cold
and her adherence 10 the pitch uncertain
Yet II IL imperative that she shall in
troduce some songs of this character hest
her progrR mines become too clrcur-
scribed In style and monotonous recitals
result. So. TOO N is essrn initial that She
shall sing some songs having humor or
NJ least playful fancy, and in these Miss
Gerhardt attains only Moderate sue
cess Her humor Is clearly defined. but
II wants a certain JUNCTION to make IL
Irresistible.
Her best asses are the natural beauty
OF her voice, which Is indeed quite ex-
ceptlonable, and her genuinely lovely
delivery of Songs OF tender sentiment.
Hence she found the artistic summit OF
yesterdays recital In Hugo VOLTS &C.
sang Weylas," which she gave with SUI
perlative beauty and which her au-
dience compelled her to repeat. In tho
Same composers "Nelu, junger Herr"
the delicate humor and archness which
lie within her grasp were perfectly dis
played. and this song too had to be re-
peated The sunny gaycty of Schubert's
Der Musensohn' was only indicated. for
here the singer exposed too clearly her
mechanical effort. and. worse than that,
she wandered far from the pitch.

We either want war or do not want
II. The presumption is that We do not
Tho presumption Is that the average man
would rather stay at home with his

The whole peace movement Is predcated
on Tho idea that the world is tired Of war.
III IL be true that the people do not
want war, the fact that we now have tho
biggest war 81 all palpably indicates that
II was started by a minority. So n
strikes me that II We take tho war maxi

give II to the people war will be ended.
W. all know that the Car has power

our own country the same power rests
with tiny minority OF l3j men. I refer
to a majority Of a quorum Of both houses
