NINE. AIDA DELIGHTS
AT FINAL CONCERT
Enthusiasm Of Audience Pleases
Soprano Artist at National.

There is a very personal charm in
the singing Of Nine. Frances Aida. and
so great was the accord between artist
and audience at her long recital at the
National Theater yesterday afternoon
that the enthusiasm OF the latter caused
Nine. Aida to say after the concert:
1T Is a Joy to sing for such an audi
ence. This tenth concert OF the Ten
star Series closes a remarkable series
OF recitals by artists OF the highest
rank which T. Arthur Smith has offered
the Washington public at a minimum
price: price The recital Of Nine: Aida. So
opera House. assisted by Frank La
Forge. composer-pianist, is n crowning
event to the achievement, which has
had audiences almost to the capacity
number at most Of the series.
Anne. Ada has a voice of great
beauty. whose richness Is full of vital
warmth and color. and whose shading
holds nuances OF the finest art. There
is no single artifice in her singing. Her
art Is 80 finished II seems but an easy
now OF true music, beautifully deIiy-
cred. but simple In its directness. To
THIS Is added the charm Of a beautiful
woman whose gracious response TO her
reception led her TO give eight extra
numbers. though three OF them were
repetitions.
