Miss Van Emden Proves
An Admirable Soprano
Raudenbush, Violinist, and Miss
Whittle, q Mezzo-Soprano,
Are Immature Musically

Miss Harriet Van Emden, a young
American lyric soprano of unusual tai
ent, appeared at Aeolian Hall last
evening. Her voice is of velvet timbre,
flexible. and evenly developed. But an
unusually fine voice is not Miss Van
Emden's only asset. She showed the
results of native intelligence and ad-
mirable training in her understanding
Of the laws of song Control of breath,
phrasing, diction, all were admirable,
and in program Of songs that ranged
from Mozart to La Forge she proved a
sympathetic and delightful interpreter.
In marked contrast to Miss Van En-
denis auspicious debut were the per-
formances Of George Raudenbush, vio-
linist, and Dorothy Whittle, mezzo-so-
prano, the recital givers of the after
noon at Aeolian and in the Town Hall.
Musically speaking, both were imma-
ture, their achievements failing to JUS
tify their appearance.
Raudenbush fiddled 'conscientiously
through Nardini's Sonata in D minor;
the first movement Of Joachim's con-
certo, Op. 2; Bach's sonata for violin
alone in G minor, and pieces by Fran
coeur-Kreisler and Vieuxtemps, but be-
yond this praiseworthy characteristic
there was little to commend in his
playing.
In the case of Miss Whittle, exceed
ingly primitive ideas as to the art of
song were combined with voice which
left much to be desired both in volume
and quality.
