BIZ -HENRIETTA N. Res.


~ again. Last week brought us
two, the first Thursday with
three we'll known local artists and
the second Friday evening with the
illustrious Galli-Curci. Both OF
these found ready response and
enthusiastic audience, large enough
to fill their respective halls to such
a capacity that it was a Joy to be-
hold Ii only the interest keeps up
for the rest Of the season as it has
started with the new year, it will
more than make up for the many
lang months when there have been
no musical attractions to attend.
Galli-Curci's voice is certainly
one OF the loveliest in quality we
have ever heard. There is a velvety
softness about it, a pure limpidity,
and a heavenly sweetness in its
tones that delights by the very
sound of it. II singing Of songs was
but a succession of lovely tones,
Galli-Curci would be far beyond al
most any other singer of her type
of the present time. But the singing
OF song is more than that.

If we were an artist, we would
rather be a charmer than dazzler,
or if nature had given us such great
gifts as to make it possible for us
TO be a great dazzler, we would
rather be noted for the charm with
which we dazzled than for the daz-
zle with which we charmed-or
tried to. But half of the charm Of
The song is gone if in order to daz-
zle, sense OF words and rhythm of
music is spoiled. For the audience
IS composed OF the lovers OF musical
art and others who want their ears
tickled. By charming first and
dazzling afterward, both groups are
pleased to pieces. but by dazzling
first, the gallery" is delighted just
the same, but one does not always
get it over with the other group.
And although they are the smaller
group, they have the greatest in
8luence. If one does not get over"
with both groups, one is only a
eat vocalist and not great art
