MISS ALLEN'S RECITAL


 On Friday evening at Cable Hall a large and representative audience greeted the young singer, Miss Eloise Allen, when she was presented by Miss Sara Mallam in her initial recital, as- sisted by MT. Harry Steinmehl, violinist, and Miss Minnie McNeill, accompanist. Her programme was a heavy one for so young a singer, but she carried it off like a professional. ''The Dying liar per-" an old Welsh melody, was beauti- fully sung. Miss Allen bringing out the real atmosphere of the song This was followed by Rubenstein's Lark, dainty number which was exQuisitely rein dered One noted the extreme smooth ness of Miss Aliens voice in this mum Der especially her low tones as we'll as her high ones being equally resonant. Her last group, Russian Songs, was particularly well sung, and she had to repeat the Gretchaninoff Cradle song and sang it more artistically the second time than she did the first. The audi ence showed it's keen appreciation by it's close attention.
 MT. Steinm ehPs numbers were en- Enthusiastically received, and he was particularly good in his second group, The Rosary" an old familiar song, arranged for violin by Fritz Kreisler (who is to appear in the "All-star Con = certs'), was especially well received, and Mir. Steinmehl had to respond twice after this group.
 Miss McNeill's accompaniments were as they always are-beautiful. She is a real accompanist, never projecting her own part ahead of the principal, but always assisting and supporting when ever necessary.
 The last number on the programme, a trio arrangement for voice. violin and piano, of Saint-Saens Swan song was the beautiful climax of the eve ming, and the audience was 10th to let .he young artists leave the stage.
