no less pleasure to listen to Robert

particular field, while no small need of
praise is due the accompanies, Jene La
Fargo, for the interpretative ability and
executive skill which he put into his work.
The artists came here under the auspices
of the Brattleboro Woman's club.
Mr. karle. who is appearing in his
sixth season before the public. is in the
bloom of youth and is a notable acquisi-
tion to the American concert stage. His
voice is of the finest texture. pure and
vibrant capable of varied emotions, and
is guided and directed by an ar
tistic conception of each composition
and supplemented by a pleasing stage
presence. His part of the program was
limited largely to concert songs, each
gem, the climax coming in the last printed
number. Have You Been to Ions, by Bur
leigh. \ close second in appeal, however,
was his second selection, Moon of My De-
light persian Garden), by Lehman,
These two numbers We're given, with a
wonderfully effective dramatic force. 1t
is no criticism of Mr.. karle to say that
many in the audience would have wei
coined one or two standard operatic arias
by way of variety as he has. shown him
self elsewhere to be thoroughly competent
in that class of work.
Mr. Nelten, the violinist, displayed un-
mistakable genius. and his most effective
numbers were Liebesfreud. by kreisler.
and Russian Airs. by Wieniawski, the
latter one of the masters of violin cOmpo-
