TOHN MCCORMACK sang at the
Il Auditorium last evening. That
= sentence implies that the vast
Auditorium was filled from pit to
gallery by the host of his admirers.
1t implies that one of the greatest
singers before the public of the
present day appeared there in re-
cital. 1t implies that program of
songs was sung which included
numbers that would appeal to all
tastes, for all tastes were there to be
satisfied, songs which were sung in
the inimitable Mccormack way. 1t
also implies unbounded enthusiasm
and applause.
The many excellencies of the sing
ing of John Mccormack have been
commented upon so freely in his for
mer visits to Omaha that it hardly
seems fitting to re-enumerate them
here. He is the ballad singer par
excellence. He sings the heart song,
the folk song and the ballad beauti-
fully, simply, and the aria from
Handel and other larger numbers
simply beautifully, so beautifully, in
fact, that the majority of the listen
ers who came especially to hear the
Irish songs and shorter numbers do
not realize that they are listening to
classics.
The remarkable Mccormack enun-
ciation, marvellous breath control
and glowing charm of legato sing
ing which have been noted in his
former concerts were all in evidence
last evening. Mr.. Mccormack was
in splendid voice and gave of his best
to the audience, which rewarded
him, as usual, with ovations.
Mr.. McCorn1ack's share of the
program was divided into four
groups. As usual, these contained
many numbers new to concert-goers.
In the opening number the impress
sive and rarely heard Handel <reci-
tative and aria from Imperial Solo
non," the nicely of phrasing, clear
ness and careful shading were such
as stamp the thorough musician.

"Maytime,'' a beautiful story4play
with music, is to be the closing at

piece that was SO popular here when

light in the leading,role, is still play
