MISS GERHARDT'S
EMOTIONAL SINGING
Beauty MARRIED in German Songs
by Excessive Emotionality

Miss Elena Gerhardt gave the song
recital which mad been postponed from
last week in Carnegie Hall yesterday
afternoon. She sang German Lieder
exclusively-six by Schubert, six by
Brahms, three by Hugo Wolf and two
by Richard Strauss. There is nothing
to call for special comment, least Of
all for deprecatory criticism, in the
circumstance that an artist who is de-
voting all her efforts TO the field Of
specific. artistic song, as distinguished
from folksong and the operate aria,
should choose a programme In which
she felt or feels that she can best dis
play her sympsthies. those sympathies
naturally conditioning her style of per-
Torrance.
or Miss GerhGrdt's sincerity and OF
the beauty of her natural gifts Of voice
and intelligence there has never been
a question; nor was any doubt raised
at her recital yesterday IL was de-
lightful 20 observe how deeply she had
entered into the spirit Of the poems
and their settings by four Of the great
masters of lyric composition. Pro-
foundly convincing of this fact was the
manner in which she sang the Brahms
songs. thinner leiser wird mein Schlum-
mer," Der Tod, das ist die Kuhle
nacht," and "Von ewiger Liebe.'
The only thing which it was possible
to deplore was her persistent departure
from just intonation, which brought
with il the reflection that this painful
defect may be the consequence Of her
too great intensity Of emotion real or
simulated feeling, which caused COM
ment when first she appeared upon our
concert stage. II would be pitiful il
the fault should prove to be a per-
mauent one IT. the case of SO great an
artist. II. f.. X.

SONG RECITALS
HELD AT AEOLIAN
AND THE COMEDY
Edgar Schofield, Bass-Barytone,
and Paul Reimers, Tenor,
Heard

Aeolian Hall and the Comedy Theatre
both held song recitals yesterday after
noon. At the former Edgar Schofeld,
a bass-barytone new to New York,
pleased a large audience and disclosed
new and promising talent. Mr.. Scho-
field is a young man of pleasing per-
sonality, who sings with intelligence,
taste and a sense of style. His voice
is not one of any great sensuous
beauty, and in the latter portion OF
the programme his upper tones were
pallid, but it is voice which he uses
with much elasticity.
His singing of the Buononcini aria
per la Gloria d'Adoravi" was skill
fully executed, with lghtness, grace
and charm, and his German songs were
also excellently given. Why he saw
fit to include Arthur Somerwel's dull
ard colorless song cycle founded on
Tennyson's MAUD" might well be
asked. 1t added nothing 70 the pro-
gramme and subtracted much. Praise,
however, is due his English diction,
Mr. Schofeld is not yet perhaps a
finished artist. but he is well on the
road to becoming such.
Paul Reimers is a tenor who IS well
known to us, and his appearance at
the Comedy showed his talents at their
best. His voice is exceedingly light
and his style of singing lacks virility,
but he possesses impeccable taste,
fine delicacy of feeling, admirable die
ton, and intelligence. He was best
Yesterday in his French songs, such
as Hue's "Le PEASANT" and "Le Petit
Tambour," and in his one Spanish pop
ular song, "Mi Nina" He gave these
with lightness, humor and grace. Mr..
Reimers in his limited sphere is a
singer who will always be heard with

MISS WILSON'S SCHOOL PLAN
Presidents Daughter Urges Use Of
Buildings for All Community Work

Washington, Dec. 13.-Use Of the
country's schools for all branches Of
community work was urged to-day by
Miss Margaret Wilson, the Presidents
daughter, before the annual convention
here of the American Civic Associa
ton. The school principal, she said,
should not be hampered by restriction
70 irksome school duties, but should
have a free hand for work along
broader lines.
Or. Henry Z. Jackson, Of the Federal
Bureau OF Education, said; I'VE are
beginning to see that 10 is morally
wrong to invest the peoples money in
school buildings and use those build
ings less than half the time. We are
only beginning to discover that the
schoolhouse ought 10 be used for
youths and adults as we'll as children"
