DEST|NN DELIGHTS
fine AUDIENCE IN
OPENING CONCERT

With fair ysprinkling Of untitled
seats, but with attendance measur-
ing up fully to expectations, the local
concert season was opened Sunday
afternoon at the Lyric theater under
suspicious circumstances. Cortese
Brothers, who since their advent into
local circles as musicians and spon-
sors for the best in the art have
contributed much to the civic uplift
of the community, chose wisely when
they booked Emmy Destinn and her
associates for their first offering of
the new season. None who heard
them had reasonable basis for dis
appointment. Moreover, there was
nothing in the demeanor Of those
present suggestive of such. In fact,
it was a very enthusiastic crowd, in
Guiding as 1t did representatives from
each realm of society.
OF Nine. Destinn there Is little to
say, except that she satisfied fully
and amply justified the wealth of
favorable expressions heaped on her
since she first sprung into the public
eye in this country after having shone
so brilliantly in the highest artistic
circles of Europe. Her efforts here
were delightful, and she received
liberal mede of praise and apprecia-
tion. Her initial number, the air de
Salome from Massenet's "Herodiade,"
was sung with spirit and keen Under
standing, but it was in her subse-
quent groups that she rose to the
heights and aroused her auditors to
exstatic demonstrations of praise.
There came to be a close utilization
of sympathy between singer and
nearer. which grew as the concert
progressed. She veritably sang her
self into their hearts. and may be
assured a lasting place in their ar
tistic affections. Her program was
well chosen, affording ample oppor-
tunity for displaying talents and gifts
that are rare.
None the less delightful was the
playing of Roderick White on that
wonderfully sweet-toned violin. while
1t was distinct Surprise to hear sec
ond artist gof such merit. So fire.
quently these luminaries Of the first
water are content to have with them
associates who are not worthy OF
them-but,no so Nine. Destinn. Mr.
White is a violinist of first rank,
and gave the audience large pleasure
by his exquisite playing, adding an
other bit of evidence that our own
United States is producing some OF
the finest artists in the world.

was most satisfying, being possessed
of intelligent sympathy and skill and
