GLORIOUS ARTIST IN CITY
HALL
Frisda Hsmpsl and Her Associates
Charmed Lewiston Avdisnes in the
Seasons Finest Concert

Frieda Hempel Of the glorious
voice and gracious personality gave
her third concert OF the season and
her only concert in Maine for the
year, in Lewiston City hall. Tuesday
evening. Among all the sopranos
who have visited Lewiston she will
always stand out a. one Of the most
entirely satisfying. and the Lewiston
audience enjoyed her to the utmost.
It was a large audience, leaving very
few empty seats. and an appreciative
one, the appreciation shown no less
by the silence than by the enthusiast
tic bursts OF applause.
An audience warns toward Freida
Hempel from the moment she smiles
on them and her graciousness and
readiness in granting encores wins
their hearts completely. She has \
fine stage presence. and. while ra-,
dating vitality and youth, her man
ner Is reposeful, with the serenity of
confidence, and entirely free from
mannerisms. Her graceful figure was
set off by a draped gown of tanger-
inc velvet with wisps Of tulle and a
garland OF flowers pendent from the
girdle.
And her voice? How can one find
the words to give the varied impress
sions it leaves. to one who was not
present? 1t makes fresh and, diff
ferent impression with every song.
She has the gift Of Interpretation to
a superlative degree and. almost
more than any other opera soprano,
she sings as though she were in her
native element In 4 concert program.

but such is its carrying power that 1t
comes out full and rounded in every

softest and finest tones are lost in the
remotest corners. On the contrary,

a remarkable degree. Each one brings
fresh delight
Miss Hempel is fortunate IN having
artists like Louis P. Fritze, futist,
and Caenraad V. Bos. at the piano, to
enhance the beauty Of her songs, and
to add variety to a program wonder
fully complete.
The program was given principally
in English. which, by the way, Miss

were native to her. with an enunci-
alton which many American born
singers might envy. Clear and pure
