Mccormack Brings Cheers
and Tears at Recital in
Carnegie Hall

John Mccormack brought tears and
cheers from the audience at his recital
in Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon
with his singing of his Irish folksongs.
McCormacklike, he filled every avail
able seat in the orchestra and crowded
the galleries, but left many of the
boxes vacant. And McCormacklike, he
did less we'll than many less gifted
singer would have done with the more
sophisticated songs, notably Moussorg-
skys magnificent king Saul" Nor
was he we'll served by his accompanist,
who frequently blurred or dragged the
piano part
But his wonderfully smooth tone and
delicate pianissimo, as usual, conquered
all obstacles and evoked the usual de-
mand for repeated encorcs, one of them
being Little Boy Blue" sung as com
plimcnt to Mrs. Ethelbert Nevin, who
was in the audience.
The violinist, Andre Polah. assisted.
The Pauist Choristers of Chicago,
under direction of Father Finn, gave
a concert at the Century Theatre last
night for the benefit of the French
War Relief.
