A most important event in the
weeks musical happenings was the
appearance of the much beloved bari
tone, Edmund NJ. Knudson. He made
a successful appearance here five years
ago before leaving for Europe, where
he made name for himself in grand
opera. Later he had narrowing ex-
| periences when detained in Germany
| after war was declared. His health
was seriously undermined, and the
audience on November 10 was de-
lighted to hear that his voice is the
same beautiful organ as of yore. The
exacting program, ranging from Han
del to Tschaikowsky, gave ample proof
that he is an artist as we'll as the
possessor of voice. His unaffected
manner added greatly to the pleasure
of the evening. Then, too, he had
an excellent accompanist in Margaret
| Gilmore MacPhail, who followed him
unerringly and sympathetically.-
