Brilliant Recital Given
BY Danise at Town Hall
Metropolitan Baritone Prove
as Admirable i'm Concert
as in Opera

Singing OF a high order Of merit was
done at the Town Hall last evening by
Giuseppe Danise, barytone of the
Metropolitan Opera House, who gave
his first song recital in this city. Mr.
Daniae was one of Mr. Gatti's rnost
valuable acquisitions last season. III
concert he proved as admirable an art
st rs in his many impersnations at the
Metropolitan. His PROGRAM was not
taxing. 1t comprised light songs by
Palahilhe, Alvarez, Massenet, Tosti and
Rissini. and one operate aria, Fri tu,' -
from Verdi's "Bailo in Maschera" But
his beautiful voice was so finely used,
his diction was of such excellence that
the songs gained distinction through
his singing. Recalled many times, Mr.
Danise was generous with encores.
Miss Nina Wulf's playing was not a
plcasurable addition to the program.
A young and immature violinist who
made her first appearance last season
she occupied good deal Of time with
a poor performance Of Wieniawski's 5
Souvenir de Moscou and group OF
pieces by Sarasatc. paderews5i, kreis-
Ter and others. Her appearance on a
program with an artist Of M. Daniso' =
distinction was wholly incongrroue, a
singular error in judgment on the part
Of the management.
