John Mccormack Gives
His Hundredth Concer,

John Mccormack gave his one hum
dredth concert in New York City last
evening at the Hippodrome. 1t was
also the tenth anniversary Of his first
appearance here with Oscar Hammer
stems forces at the Manhattan Opera
House.
There was the customary huge au-
dience. We know Of no singer moro
deserving Of this popularity, of none
more worthy to command admiration
and respect. Mr.. McCormack's voice
has grown in beauty with the passing
years. Recently it has gained notice
ably in richness and sorority His
singing probably gives pleasure to a
other singer now before the public.
This is not alone because Of his abn-
ity to sing ballads and folk songs, for
In every respect Mr. Mccormack is a
sound and accomplished artist. He is
at home with Mozart, Beethoven, Ham
del, music that is a stumbling block
to many singers whose art rests upon
a foundation, technically less secure.
Admirably equipped in the matter of
breath control and pure diction, he has
learned to sipg simple songs with dis
tinction.
An indefatfgable worker, he enriches
his repertory every year with new
songs. Last evening he gave Of his
best. The program was attractive and
varied: 1T included arias from Han
del's "Mulio Scevola" and "Rodeinda," !"
unfamiliar and beautiful Irish folk
songs and other numbers by Arthur
Whiting, Edwin Schneider, H. T. Bur-
leigh ard other composers. AS usual
the singer was generous with encores.

Miss Braslau at Her Best
In RecEtal at Carnegie Hall

Carnegie Hall was filed to capacity
yesterday afteimoqn at the song re-
cital given by Miss Sophie Braslau.
Miss Braslau has rightly won for her
self an enviable 5,lace on the Ameri-
can concert stage and her artistic
progress has bed.n marked and CON
sistent. She wits yesterday at her
best vocally, and especially in the
group of folksongs, in Rhea Siberia 's
"Yahrzeit," and in Forsyth's "Land Of
Silence" she ga We abundant pleasure,
both because ,of the richness and
power Of her vdice and because Of her
interpretive Intelligence.
Miss Braslau though a true con-
tralto, has in the past exaggerated
the darker colo,rs of her voice, and it
was gratifying to note that she has
lately been striving to remedy this
defect and give greater clarity to her
tone. She is STILL, however, apparently
determined to bring out the last ounce
of power in her voice. This voice Is
a truly magnificent organ and it does
not require such treatment to render
it capable Of its best. Miss Braslau
was enthusiastically applauded and
forced to many encoreIs.
Miss Greta Torpadie, who gave q
song recital in the afternoon at the
Princess Theater, is an artist Of no
mean powers, and laer programs are
always out of the ordinary and given
with far more than usual intelligence.
Though her voice is by no means a
pefect one nor one of great sensuous
beauty, her musical sensibility, her in
terpretive power aid the clarity Of her
enunciation more than atone.
Sha Wpa notably avcal1ert voc<o n rd a ~
in the group of Swedish songs and
the two interesting Revolutionary
melodies, "The Heavy Hours" and
"Sheep in Clusters" arranged by Sam
uel Endicott Her audience was most
appreciative.

Music
Mozart Novelty Given at First
Concert of Society of
Friends of Music
By H. E. Krehbiel

In arranging the first of this years
concerts for the Society Of the Friends
Of Music, which took place at the Hotel
Ritz yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Bo-
danzky adhered to the purpose Of the
society as published at the time Of
its foundation. Though not all Of the
music was new to local concert rooms,
some of it was and much the greater
part of 1t was Of a nature which misfits
cation. The exception was Beethoven's
overture to "Prometheus," light
wasted work compared with the mas
ter's dramatic overtures, but full Of
gracious beauty.
chorus of women from the Metro
politan Opera House, trained by Mr..
Setti, sang the four songs with two
horns and harp which compose
Brahms's seventeenth opus, the same
composers Ave Maria with orches-
ira. and Schuberts exquisite setting of
the Twenty-third Psalm. the German
text of which was a translation from
the original Hebrew made by Moses
Mendelssohn, the philosopher who sat
for Lessng's portrait Of Nathan the
Wise Man." and grandfather of the
composer Mendelssohn. Bartholdy-
Schubert wrote the piece for Nanette

Conservatory and her three sisters.
pianoforte, has been tyansc cribed for or
chestra by Remicke and others. That
used yesterday sounded more modern
than Remickes and was entirely eff
fective. The psalm and the songs with
harp and horns have figured on other
programs of the Musical Art Society.
The Brahms harmonics, especially in
the first song, ~ Hear a Harp" sub
Jected the singers to a test in intona-
tion which they did not successfully
meet. but there was marked improve
ment later.
A period Of unaIloyed delight was
that in which nocturne by Mozart
was played. 1t is a piece in major,
three movements and four small or
chestras of violins. violas, double BASES
and horns. Aside from the dainty
grace and charm of the music itself,
the composition Is remarkable for q
device which is employed in it, and it
alone, in all musical literature, so far
chestras are used almost wholly to
produce the effect of a triple echo.
Thus, as the first orchestra completes
q period the second falls in at
the close and takes up the last four
measures; the third relieves the second
in the same way, repeating the last
three measures, and the fourth reiter-
ates the last two. The musical rever-
berations die away in the distance with
a ravishing effect. 1t is music which,
as Proteus says in 1.-TWO Gentlemen Of
Verona" finds nights dread silence"
becoming, though it was light-hearted
and merry and not "deploring dump"
If the piece has ever been played
before in New York it was not in our
time. The chances are that it had a
first public performance here yester-
day. for it had not been published
when K0chel printed his catalogue in
1862. At that time, however, the auto
graph manuscript was in the possession
of a resident of New York-Gustave

On the Screen
Criffith's ''Scarlet Days." With
Richard Barthelmess, Scores
Hit at the Rivoli
By Harrictte Underhill

Scarlet Days is so exciting that
after 1T is finished you sink back IN
your green plush chair at the Rivoli
and try to make up your mind whether
you are glad or sorry that it is over.
Although we are not stickler for
the banal happy ending we were all
ready to tell D. W. Griffith that we
never should speak to him again if he
hadn't saved the life of Alvarez. Rich
ard Barthelmess is seen as this fas-
cinating outlaw, and he is advertised
as the star. but we do not know
whether this means real star or only
star by divine right He certainly
has earned his title.
When we saw him in Broken
Blossoms" we thought there could not
possibly be another part for him with
such possibilities. But we like him
even better as the Mexican bandit than
we did as the Chink. and he is the
only young actor on the screen to-day
who could make US unfaithful to our
allegiances.
How handsome he is. and how care
less and how entirely Mexican

girls who reform whole camps by q
