this winter in The Central High School

three to five lesser compositions. 1t
Is because Of the educational value of
these concerts that the Board of Edu-
cation has granted the use of the
High School Auditorium. That the
privilege they offer is appreciated is
evidenced by the fact that before the
first concert almost every seat in the
auditorium had been taken for the
entire course. These audiences APP

composed of habitual concert-goers

certs yesterday Afternoon at the Ma

MCCORMACK

That the majority of critics treat
Mccormack rather as a pleasant
news item than as subject for Sc
rious consideration, is well known.
The reason for this is that the
average critics are inclined to dis
criminate against anybody who en-
joys a large measure OF popular
favor, except 1t be within certain
narrow lines where they themselves
are accustomed to travel, and so
they are willing to concede, for in
stance, the greatness of Enrico Ca
russo. To them anything that is &C
claimed by the popular voice,
whether 1t be a work Of art. or a
song. or a singer. or a composer. Is
thereby stamped with the mark of
mediocrity. And as for anything
that is unusual 0r>pew. why that they
promptly reject, only to discover
later on, that is. 10 they don't their
successors do. that it has value.
While admitting that McCormacfE
lacks personality for opera and has
never been at home singing a role.
there are operas besides those of
Mozart in which he is effective.
such as Massenet's "Manon" and
"Lakme." In the numbers of these
operas he gives us sheer beauty

matte emphasis, character denote

klariry Indication Of a lack Of .mu-

sical oarts OF the public worship Of
Almighty God be found to be 50 uni

startling Iethargy among the congre-
cations; their attitude seems to be
that Of Indifference. so far as max

ours are always secular. They have

does not. And they sing these Rrtless
