Curci, we know in advance that
now will come a treat-that for a
few minutes at least the world may
be left behind and that our souls
can delight in the splendid gift of
song that is being offered. So II is
when We hear her sing "Clavelitos,'
q Spanish melody-coloratura, lyric
and poetic to the highest degree. II
Is difhcult to realize that human
throat can enunciate such swift fly
ing notes, yet thick and fast the
great diva pours forth a bewilder-
ing succession of magic tones that
cause the heart to beat fiercely to
this loye-declaration of old Spain.
Thank God for a Garden" This
Is the title of John Mccormack s
most recent Offering, and as his
masculine notes ring out the hearer
can but echo amen" Here, indeed,
is a rare and beautiful song, sung
with an artistic certainty and sure
ness that will not fail to awake
latent enthusiasm in even those
breasts least susceptible to music.
This song is nature itself; nature
made superlatively real and brought
home to the consciousness OF all.
The world at large owes a great
debt of thanks to John Mccormack
for this soul-stirring record.

admission that the talking machine

doubly so is the appearance amidst
the new Victor records for Novem-

This work takes an added interest
when one realizes that through the
