SIGNS SOPRANO
DISCOVERED IN A CABARET
Miss Evon Darle, % Years Old,
Is Engaged for Grand
Opera.

Giulio Gatti Casazza has discovered
new singer for the Metropolitan
Opera in an uptown cabaret. She is
Miss Evon Darle, and she will join
the company next season, singing lyric
soprano roles.
Several months ago a diner at a popu-
lar Broadway restaurant heard Miss
Darle sing and was much impressed
by the voice and artistic talent He
wrote to a music critic about what he
thought was her unusual promise.
This man. who died recently, was
not well at the time, and suggested
that instead of him hearing her she
be referred to William Thorner, an
operate coach formerly associated with
the De Reszke brothers. Mr.. Thorner
said yesterday that when Miss Darle
came to him she was a contralto, but
that through study she has become a
lyric soprano. After several months OF
preparation the girl who is % years
old, was brought to the attention of
Mr.. Gatti Casazza, with the result that
she will be heard next season In the
greatest opera house in the country.
Not all of the artistic career of the
cabarets. She was at one time the
prima donna of touring company
that sang The Lilac Domino" She
started In the chorus, and with a COM
pany of American girls went to Lon
don 1t was on her return that she
was selected to sing in Cuvillier' $
operetta.
Miss Darle's engagement proves again
the statement that all the singers who
are found capable of joining the forces
Of the Metropolitan do not come with
operate training in other houses. Mr..
Gatti-Casazza might say with the
French playwright 'je prend mon bien
on je lie trouve." only he would say that
he takes them where he finds them in
Italian probably.
Miss Rosa Ponselle was found for
Metropolitan IN vaudeville, and, as in
the present case. Mr. Thorner was in
strumental in bringing her to the notice
of the opera authorities. Chief Caupo-
lican, the Indian singer, introduced this
season, also sang in vaudeville. In fact,
vaudeville and grand opera seem to be
growing nearer every day. Orville Har-
rold is one of the popular tenors of the
Metropolitan, and Miss Dorothy Jardon
was appreciated at her few appearances
with the Chicago company. Yet nobody
ever formerly thought that the stage
Of the Metropolitan would be considered
safe for artistic democracy.
Miss Darle was born in France. Pathe
Is her middle name. She came to this
country when about two years old.
Her father is a professor of French in
the University of Chicago.

Bethlehem Choir
in Last Concerts
of Music Festival
Two Performances at Manhat-
tan Devoted to Bach and
Wagner Works.

The music festival Of the Oratorio So
ciety at the Manhattan Theatre vir-
tually came 10 its end last evening with
a performance of Verdis Requiem"
What remains to be done is chiefly dra-
matte with musical accessories, to wit !:
Two representations Of "Iphigenia in
Aulis,' with Miss Margaret Anglin as
the principal actor. Two concerts were
given yesterday. That in the afternoon
consisted of music by Bach and Wag-
ner. with DR.. j. Fred Wolfe and the
bethlehem Bach Choir carrying tmpor-
tant roles.
Dr. Wolfe conducted his famous choir
in four chorales and two numbers from
the B minor mass, namely the "Qui TOLLS
peccata'' and "Confiteor unum bap-
tisma." Mr.. Damrosch's contributions to
the Bach portion of the programme were
the G string air and the familiar gavotte
in e. The Bethlehem choristers have
sung better. They were sadly at odds
as to the pitch in some of the chorales
and even in parts of the numbers from
the mass. But their delivery had spirit
in the mass music. About their manner
Of singing chorales there win always be
differences Of opinion, but DR.. Wolfe
stands bravely by his own faith.
Wagner brought to the audience some
fragments of "Tannhaeuser," the choral
from die Meistersinger," sung by
Bethlehem and New York singers united,
and some "Valkyrie." Mime. Eatson
sang EhsGbeth's address to the hall of
song and Mr. Whitehill Wolfruns's ad-
dress to the evening star. The two

had hard time with some of Wotdd,'s
phrases. but sang like an artist never
theless. The orchestra lacked sorority.
In the evening the festival chorus was
heard in all its glory. The soloists were
Nine Frances Peralta, soprano; Nine
D'Alvarez, contralto; Mario Chamlee,
tenor. and Frederick Patton, bass.
The performance was directed by AL
bert Stoessel, who assisted in the train
ing of the festival chorus. He proved to
be a capable conductor, holding all his
forces in firm grip and showing a fine
appreciation Of the character of Verdi's
composition. Among the soloists Nine
D'AlvareZ was conspicuous by reason Of
her dramatic style SO well suited to the
work. The other soloists were COM
mendable, and the choral singing had
much vigor and vitality. The audience
was not as large as the concert de-
served.
