her sufficiently to call out.
Miss Colvin was awakened by her moth

when the invader struck her across the
head with the neck of the broken bottle.

Where flowers are abloom and skies are blue,
Where each heart to each heart is true,
And Love is Life and Life is Love
Take me away where none is old,
Where ocean rolls on sands Of gold,
Where men are not by masters Sold
And all is good and Good is all.
There let me live, there let me die,
Where the sweet birds sing and the willows sigh;
Earth for my couch, my vault the sky.
Can you tip me to any such locality?

With the excellent assistance Of
Hector MacCarthy as accompanies,
Craig Campbell gave a song recital in

fine voice with a vlrile barytone

register, but uses expressively and
otherwise well. lie 10 int. gent, knows
the meaning Of song. and has the abil-
itv and means OF reaching the emo
tions Of his audience. though 1t is some
thing OF pity that he leans toward
sentimenta.ism when II comes 20 the
superficial. light WASTED style of Eng
lish baliadry. His pronunciation OF
German is far from impeccaoie. but his
enuncistion - so distinct that he ia
easily understood by a. who know the
language
His Franz. Brahms AID Schumann
songs were sung with the instinct Of an
artist. Later he sang FreEch songs,
but devoted az .eas, ha.s Of his pro-
rramme 90 songs in the veraacu.ar.
