TRIO OF ARTISTS
DELIGHT AUDIENCE
Nine. Julia Culp. Emilio de Gogorza,
and Won Bos Appear at
National.

Nine. Julia Culp and Emilio de Co
gorza! What opulence Add Won Bos,
and you have a royal trio of names.
These three appeared yesterday after
noon at the New National Theater in a
program that will not soon be forgotten
The writer was asked a few hours
before the concert whether Nine.
Culp's program was going to be classic.
That was at once felt to be a poser.
We knew there would be Brahms and
Hugo Wolf: yet it is not what she
sings, but the way she sings II. Every
song she sings so far transcends tech
mic or the academic. that there is no
question of classic or not classic.
1t Is life-life stepped in color. Her
voice, having the high range of the mez-
20 soprano, is richly endowed with the
emotional timbres of the bontraIto. The
mood-whatever it is,-tender, grave,
playful, passionate. sad, gay-that is her
song; it is her whole song. Four songs
of Brahms: the "Botschaft," "Vor dem
fenster." ''Schwalbe,'' 'Feldeinsamkeit,"
three songs of Carpenter: When 1
Bring You Colored Toys" go Lovely
Rose, The Sleep That Fits On Baby's
Eyes" Rogers wind Song" and The
Star" Strauss" ''Morgen' and ''Traum;"
Hugo VOLTS ''Du denkst nit einem Fad
chen" and "Heimweh;" these and two
extra numbers, Long Ago." and on
Indian Lullaby "Lieurance" were Ma
dame Culp's contribution to yesterdays
program.
Emilio Gogorza's voice is of the great
est beauty, vitalized by feeling and in
telligence. French, English, Italian and
his native Spanish he sings with appar-
emily equal facility. He sang yesterday
a serenade of Mozart, an aria from
Gluck's "Iphigenie,' a group of old
French songs, two songs of Debussy, a
serenade of Berlioz, two songs by AL
varez, Elgar's Pipes of Pan" and In
victus," by Bruno Huhn.
An appreciation that omitted Won Bos
from mention in this performance would
be incomplete.
rs not Mr.. Won Bos, a big part Of
your programs" the writer asked Nine
Culp.
She replied by laughingly referring the
question to the gentleman in question.
Indeed, he is quite half" she finally
said, seriously. so he is-whoever he
is, who plays the accompaniment to the
modern song acceptably."

 There will be TO baseball game to- day. The reason is believed to be that the managers want to wait to put a roof on the grand stand to protect the spectators from the flying ball or the heat of the sun. Easter Sunday will see fine game.
 Another ticket for the municipal election appeared last evening mak- ing about three for one day. Two or three more will probably appear to- day. Most of the tickets have some of the same names ard the parties carrying those names will get swell ed up so that they might possibly run in spite of themselves. There are two or three people over the age of twen- ty-one that have not yet been mention ed as probable candidates but We have four or five days vet to rectify the oversight.
