MASON RECITAL A
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Concert at Wolf Hall on
Thursday Delights Large
Audience

1t is not too much to say that the
recital given by j. Helffenstein
Mason and the artists associated
with him, at Wolf Hall, on Thurs
day evening, April II, afforded the
best music heard in Newark for
years past. The program was
varied and well-balanced, am
bilious enough to please the most
critical and attractive enough to
gladden. the heart of the lover of
melody who usually says he has no
ear for music.
Mr.. Mason, the basso, despite
slight huskiness from his recent
attack of bronchitis, showed him
self at all times an accomplished
artist. In his rendition of the In
vocation from Robert lie Diable, in
which Bertram calls upon the
buried nuns to arise, he showed
dramatic power; and in Beethov-
ems In Questa Tomba the rich re-
sonance of his voice and the
smoothness of his delivery were
admirable.
Mary Miller Mount played two
piano solos with good taste and ex-
eeution, and her accompaniments
added much to the success of the
other numbers on the program.
The harpist, Helen Penrose Don
levy. and the 'cellist, Bertrand A.
Austin, bore off the honors of the
evening, taking the audience by
storm. Their joint performance of
The Swan, by Saint Saens, and
Standchen, by Huber, was exqui-
site in melody and feeling. So in
sistent was the applause after
these and concluding numbers of
the program that only the urgency
of the train schedule put an end to
the encores.
The Faculty Club of Delaware
College is to be congratulated on
theysuccess of this, its first venture
in the field of musical entertain.
I ment, under the management OF
DR.. w. 0. Sypherd and DR.. F. M
K. Foster. There was probably NJ
one in the audience who did no
wish that such entertainments az
this one were a permanent feature
of our community life. Perhaps
the Faculty Club will see an op
portunity to repeat the undertak
ing on a larger scale next winter
The program was as follows:
