Mr.. Damrosch responded gracefully,

Vale was perfectly at home in the

he handles in way to bring out Its
best effect. Rarely has the famous

with as fine effect. He was given q

an ovation after the singing of this
aria.
Josephine Lucchese was not in her
best voice last evening, but she was a
charming Rosina. She evidently con :
served her voice for the lesson song,
giving the familiar and brilliant Char

manner. The applause was so great
that she gave the cue to the director,

The program itself was one Of rare
merit and It was finely played. atAll the
Numbers for orchestra were familiar to
Philadelphia concert -goers, including,
as 1t did, the Frelschutz overture, the
great Fifth symphony Of Beethoven,
threc movements of "The Tomb OF
oouperin' suite of Ravel, played by
our own orchestra, and the preludes of
Liszt. All were played with fine tone
and sympthy by. the orchestra, and
with thoroughly sound reading by the
conductor.
Nine. Marguerite D'Alvarez, con-
tralto. showed voice OF fair range and
much volume. She sang Lia's aria from
'Enfant Prologue" of Debussy, but
was more effective in the three songs
which she gave as her second number.
The two Bizet numbers were especially
well done, the Seguidilla from Car
men being rendered with unusual and
true Spanish spirit.

Harry Hooper Likes
New Velie Sedan

/ Harry B. Hooper, the former Red
Sox outfielder, and now with the
Chicago team of the American
league, wrote to A. j. Shorey last
week, asking him to sell his Velie, as
the famous ball-tosser has purchased
a new sedan of the same make.
Hooper is an enthusiastic Velie
booster.
His letter to Mr.. Shorey, in part, is
as follows:
1--WE have driven our new velie
sedan near $500 miles now. had a
collision, but got out lucky-bent
axle, broken front wheel. and slightly
bent tenders. Hardly noticeable af-
ter had it repaired.
1T certainly is a great road car. I
think one could run it continuously
at As and not hurt it, and 1 had it up
to 60, and still picking up, which is
stepping pretty lively for a big
seldom. To say that we are very we'll
pleased with it is putting it mildly.
Give my best regards to Mr.. Nc
Kie and the rest. With best wishes
to yourself, I remain sincerely your
friend,
HARRY B. HOOPER"
