An Agreeable Recital of Songs
al Aeolian Hall by Mr..
John Quine

Mr.. John Quine gave a concert of
songs, covering large field in time
and style, at Aeolian Hall yesterday
afternoon. His voice is a light barry
tone of fine quality, and his use of it,
as with mis- treatment of text and mu-
sic. gave evidence of the possession of
intelligence and sensibility of an order
which it is a pleasure to welcome He
sang Italian pieces dating back to the
infancy Of opera, like Caccini's exaui-
site "Amarilli," and an excerpt from
Perls "Eurdice," which was the first
lyric drama ever published. He sang
also French airs by Gluck, Saint Saens,
Massenet, Bzet Rhene- Baton and Pa
ladllhe, and in each of them presented
the style which the music demanded
and made them as delightful to the
general listener as to the connosseurs.
Which means only that he put the def
erence due to the true, the beautiful
and the good in his art, and he has
the capacity as we'll as the willingness
to compel the same Difference from his
hearers. After this excursion into
Italian and French fields, ancient and
modern, he sang songs i'll the vernac-
ular, some old and some new, but all
good, because they were not of the
wishy-washy sentimental order, or in
fantle attempts at the style of the
modern Germans and Frenchmen.

greeted by an audience which filled the
theatre
The extraordinary sight of Phil
harmonic concert completely surround
ed by Central Office detectives was on
view last night at Carnegie Hall. A
rumor had come to the ears of the Phil
harmonic management that certain
members of patriotic organizations had
determined on preventing the playing
of three Wagner numbers Oh the pro-
gramme, and the result was hurry
call TO Police Headquarters. The pres
ence of the detectives proved ut
terly unnecessary. as the thre num-
bers. the Sounds of the Forest from
"Siegfried"; the Prelude TO Act III Of
Tristan" and the "Tannhauser' over
ture, We're rendered with no express
sions of disapproval, but with enthus-
astic applause, in which a notably
Teutonic eleYent took part with great
gusto.
1t seemed a pity that the patriotic
issue should have been raised, for it
was very evident that the pro-Germar
element IN our musical public seized
upon the opportunity to make mani
testify intentional display of their sym
pathies. Of course the great majority
of the audience showed no such Spirit,
but heard the three works in .he seri-
Gus and appreciative spirit called for
by the genus Of the music.
Mr.. Stranskys S reading was efficient,
but far from brilliant. The other two
numbers on the programme were the
Second Symphony of Beethoven and
Rachmaninoff's The Isle of the Dead }"
