Seven songs, each done as beauu-
fully and artisucally as anything
presented here for some time. was
the program offered by Herbert
Gould. basso. at the fourth concert
OF the South Bend Symphony or
chestra, Frederick II. IngersOll. con-
Quoting. given yesterday afternoon
In the High school auditorium.
Basso singers like Mr.. Gould are
rare.
Three for Jack" was the out
standing feature of his group, al
though every number was a gem OF
the singers art. Mr.. Gould's enun-
citation was perfect and this fact,
combined with his interesting mod
ulatlons and shadings showed, with
out a doubt, that he is an artist OF
exceptional ability. 1t is 10 be
hoped that artists like him Will be
engaged for future concerts.
The program which Mr.. Ingersol
presented yesterday afternoon was
varied and interesting and clearly
showed the capabilities Of the or
chestra. Never has the orchestra
seemed urder such perfect control.
/ They stopped as a unit and the rag
ged last notes, which were more or
less evident at the first concerts,
were absolutely lacking.
Music Realistic.
The overture from Herold's opera
Tampa" was handled most effect
lively. The manner in which Mr..
| Ingersoll rose TO the climaxes was
noteworthy Even this heavy COM
position was handled with ease by
/ the orchestra.
I'm Sight OF the Oasis" by Baron,
is a brilliant piece of descriptive
writing, oriental in flavor and ar
rangement, that gave full vent to
7 the various instruments. Particu-
I larly effective was the work of the
/ cellos, violins and clarinets. The
descriptive phrases were so realistic
and vivid that very little was left TO
/ the Imagination and Mr.. IngersoN
/ lost no opportunity TO emphasize
| these passages, in order that none
OF the unusual effects would be lost.
Those in the audience who were
acquainted with the works OF Ru-
dolph Friml, only through his fine
musical comedies, must have been
! agreeably surprised with his beauti-
\ full After SHUTDOWN" An exquisite
/ melody, placed in a setting of won
/ derfully beautiful harmonies, AZ
| ter Shutdown" seemed even more
alluring in the hands of Mr.. Inger-
soil.
Interesting COuplet.
/ Indian Dance" and 'Intermezzo
! LEgyptienne," by ]. Lewis Browne,
made an interesting couplet for the
/ first number. Indian music is al
ways unique and individual and the
wier dness and characteristic
/ rhythms found in it never fail TO
charm. The orchestra gave a brill
\ liant Interpretation OF these two
/ numbers.
"Gavotte from String Quartette, ."
1 by BazzinI, is a light, frivolous
piece, with a ripping melody and
/ interesting orchestration that filled
/ much needed place on a program
of modern and unusual music.
"An Indian Legend" by Baron,
and La Fete de Seville" by Tavan,
completed the symphony program.
The latter number, which is in four
parts. was exceptionally well read
by Mr.. Ingerson and his musicians.
Mr.. Gould opened his program
with "O'er the Billowy Sea" and the
"Clang Of the Forge" Both Of these
songs were perfectly suited to Mr..
| Gould's voice and his we'll mOdu-
lated voice and clear enunciation
served TO make them charming and
effective.
Jung Dietrich" and Supreme
Adventure" were also exceptionally
well handled by the singer Other
songs on Mr.. Goulds program were
sylvia" and "Duna."

voices will make its first appearance
at the last concert Of the present
series. 10 be given in the High school
