Cncc. Miss IOrke has most mag
retic personality which cndears her
10 her audience at once. She is a col
oTatura soprano and her singing is
like the music of the purling brook,
of the laughing stream, of the falling
water under the sparkle of the sun
light, of the lifting song of the bird,
of the crisp. clear air under smiling
skies of blue, so free. so joyous. so
sweet and SO pure in its quality is
her voice. From the difficult aria to
the simple home melody it is Just
the same, she sings with that ease of
manner that Perfection of melody,
that liherality of depreciation that
makes the hearing her. one long de-
light
Her FIRST number was the Polonaise
from "Mignon," fThomasl a number
Of lively rhythm, full of runs and
tril!s aud ending in u long cadenza
rising to Z, fiat. This is one of the
most difficult of the coloratura arias,
variable in character but sung with
freedom of manner and almost i'm
perceptib!e effort on the high notes.
Almost entirely in opposite character
was the Care Selve" soft and
dreamy, with a smooth and sustained
legato even to the moment of the
grand climax, conveying the impress
sic'r of a beautiful organ through the
medium of a wonderful human voice.
An old French ballad. YEA and Nay"
which Miss Yorke sung in English.
was a dainty little old time song Of
much sweetness.
Then came the beautifully melodi-
Gus. French, sentimental ballad,
'Chere Mutt" (Bacfelet) bringing vi
sions of Venice. a pair of lovers re-
clining in 4 gondola while a gayly
caparisoned gondolier swings them
away into the moonlight. Miss Yorke
sang this at her debut in New York
on her return from Italy and it
seemed a bit of that colorful country
transplanted to America, so perfectly
was it interpreted by the singer. who
rendered it in French
Another selection in French was
the Laughing Song" from Manon
Lescaut, (Auber). the character of
the song being fully indicated in the
title. Full of staccato runs and trills
it was merry. joyous, ecstatic
number and fully typified' by the
happy little singer who accepted the.

middle west, where he had been en-
ployed at his profession Of photo
graphy in some of the larger cities,
homesick for the hills and lakes of
his native State. He heard that the
photography business Of Charles
Carleton of this city was for sale
and knew that it was a high grade
business. He looked over the map.

ponds in this county and he decided

was most becoming to her style of
beauty. while Miss Cummings wore
"a green net, embroidered in green
sequins over self-colored satin.
The concert opened with the full
orchestra in the stirring "Napoleon's
Last Charge" an entirely fitting Sc
lection for an opening number. The
orchestra of so pieces was remark
ably well trained. all of the pieces
blending tremendously into one
great strain of music. There were
the call to arms. the maching SOL
diers, the line of battle, the cannon
aiding, the advancing cavalry. the
galloping horses. the sounding of
bugles, the clash of arms and the
fatal cavalry charge were all depict
cd by the music.
The other selections were well
chosen and made n splendid setting
for Miss Yorke and Mr. Roderick.
The Concert Mazurka" Schneider
was an absolutely new number, right
from the publishers and met with
great favor. The "Polonaise Mill
taire" and the "Quartette from Rigo-
letto" Verdi. two standard pieces
were thoroughly enjoyed by the au-
dience.
Mr.. Drew was presented with a
beautiful bouquet of red carnations
at the close Of the third number.

outbursts of reclamation at the end

Of the program. the masterpiece OF
the occasion. The fiute-like notes OF
the singer could hardly be distin-
guished from the instrument in the
many runs and scales in which the
composition abounds. The comedy
Of the number was fully interpreted
by Miss Yorke who lent bewitch-
ing. airy grace to its version which
was thoroughly satisfying.
The last group of songs included
the "Nichavo' by Mana Zucco which
translated, means Nothing Matters"
This is a little Russian song which
Miss Yorke sang in English; Deep
River" arranged by Fisher. an
American negro spiritual, with it's
pleasing. flowing melody: "At the
Welr by Hageman and Down in
Maine" (Chapman).
cat the Well" was a sparklingly,
brilliant number written in the I'M
usual time Of SIS. Miss Yorke Is es-
pecially blest in this number. by hav-
ing a perfect accompanist. In fact
the singer herself, says that outside
of Hageman himself, she never heard
anyone play the accompaniment
equal to Miss Cummings. which is
saying a great deal for Miss Cum
mings. This song gave Miss Yorke
a vehicle for showing the wonder
full flexibility Of her vocal powers and
was one of the best liked numbers
on the program.
''Down in Maine" was composed by
W. r. Chapman and the words writ
ten by Mrs. Chapman for the Jubilee
festival last fall. While familiar to
those who attended the festival it
was gratefully heard by the audience.
It seemed as if the audience would
never get enough of Miss Yorke and
called her back again and again and
in her good nature she responded
most generously. She was presented
with bouquet of pink roses after
her first appearance.
Frederick Roderick a young violin
list from Winslow astonished all by
the wonderful feat Of playing De
Beriot's VII concerts with unusual
skill and technique for youth of is
years. especially as it was his first
appearance in public. His staccato
bowling in the allegro movements
showed marvellous technique and the
warmth of the tones in the andantes
showed remarkable feeling and ex-
preston. The feat of committing to
memory such lengthy piece of mu-
sic is no small feat aud he deserves
the greatest praise for his intensive
application, which made the feat
possible.
Mr.. Roderick was given two encores
responding to the first by the lovely
Beethoven Minuet in S. and to the
second by Romance by Becker The
young musician was given q flatter-
ing reception by the audience who
gave him the assurance of their APP
probation in no uncertain terms.
In several Of her encores, Miss
Yorke played her own accompani :
Inent. At the singers insistence. Miss
Cummings frequently shared with her
in acknowledging the applause.
