GALLLCURC| SINGS
0LD-T|ME BALLADS
Soprano Captiyates Hearers by
Simple Loneliness at Con-
cert Wednesday.

Something new there was In the
always beautiful singing OF the little
Cslli-Curci yesterday afternoon that
charmed the huge audience when she
was heard in recital at Polls Thester
in the second concert Of Mrs. wilson
Greene's Philharmonic course.
It's q marvellous organ, always. the
voice of this picturesque and most In
dividual OF colorstufa sopranos. Nor
can this lovely voice be compared TO
any other. there Is such a subtle,
quiet, musical loveliness In every
sound that ususlly-in music OF runs
and trills and forid execution-holds
briliiancy more this indennable spell
OF beauty.
But yesterday she was more com
pletely satisfying than ever. for to the
rare accomplishment In runs OF en-
trancing smoothness, execution or
perfect intonation and purest tone
that rippled forth with the ease
and facility of an orchestral instru-
ment. there was added a tenderness.
a "simpatica" that Gaili-Curci has not
had before.
She wooed and caught the heart In
her songs. Or she was seductive and
oapricious. That she graciously re-
sponded with seven encores tells
something OF the Joy she gave. And
she did three distinct things. musical
ly. In giving the purely vocal music
OF the Italian aria, In catching rare
gratifying subtlety In the modern
French that she gave with exquisite
vibrancy, and then in giving the "old
songs"--in English-that belong TO
our tradition and that brought tears
to the eyes for their simple loveliness.
There was Sweet and Low" Loves
Old Sweet Song" 81 Cannot Sing the
Old Songs" and Home Sweet Home"
with the audience standing at the
close and the little artist at the piano.
Yes, one thing more. She sang
Mozart with flute, as the writer has
never heard Mozart sung. 1t was a
theme and variations and II was al
together perfect. To the interesting
program she also added the delicious
and saucy Spanish "Clavelitos, ana
two beautiful songs in French, Greig 8
Dams ie bois," and "Que je toub:ie,
of Gretian. Manuel Berenguer, fut-
list, was a complement to the singer
in obligatos and in two very exquis-
iteIy delivered solos. Homer SAM
uels, at the piano, was interpretive
artist Of understanding and SYM
pathy, whose tone is in accord with
soloist but never obtrusive. The
audience filled stage and most avail
able standing room.

adventure that seldom happens in real

star with the Flashlights of 1920" this
weeks stellar attraction at the Gayety
Theater.
More than that, Miss isabelle likes
school teaching 80 much that during
the summer months at her horae in
Indiana she conducts a regular short
term for grade pupils. She places
school teaching on par with legiti-
mate theatrical work, believing that
where one merely instructs the other
informs and entertains, serving a
worthy double purpose.
The strange decision of the Gayety
star to change from the plain, frock
dress Of the school room to the filmy.
bewitching gowns Of the diva is hardly
more unusual than the circumstances
which afforded Miss Isabelle an oppor-
tunity to discover her thespian talents
She was invited to sing and dance at
q rose carnival near her home. A
theatrical booking agent thought he
saw in Miss Isabelle a worthy stage
prospect. A fattering offer which the
rather meager salary of country
school teacher was not able to over
come placed Miss Isabelle in vaude-
willie where she worked for two sea-
sons.
Burlesque Is itself a school for those
performers who would learn, a sort Of
postgraduate institution where even the
most talented and gifted are privileged
to learn something new every day. ac-
cording to Miss Isabelle. She regards
her engagement on the Columbia circuit,
however, as merely a stepping stone
to something higher, and Is longing for
the time to come when her name will
be electrified along Broadway. That
is the ultimate goal Of the actress
SAYS Miss Isabelle.
