Miss Louise EIewelIyn Again
Heard in Concert at Acolian


Miss Louise Llcwelyn, who had been
heard here before. gave a song recital
last night al Aeolian Hall, and again
proved herself an exalted artist in folk
songs and in songs which do not re-
qulre any great vocal power Such
numbers as the old Breton "Le Solicit
Monte,' Faure's "Soir,' and larccki's
arrangement Of Chopin's "Hulanka"
found her at her best. Here her in
tclllgence and her pure though light
voice stood her in good stead. and the
quality of her middle register proved
exceedingly charming. But such
things as IIandcl's ooh, Had | Jubaps
Lyre' are beyond her range.
Miss Llewcllyn's is distinctly IN in
tricate style, and when she forces her
voice beyond it becomes shrill and un-
certain; In her field, however, she is
altogether excellent. She was warmly
greeted by large audience, and after
her second group of songs her piano
was quite buried in flowers. G. V.

father, who gave her away She was

quet of lilies -of-the valley and white
lilacs. Mr.. Carnegie looked particular
ly we'll and strong for man who neI.
