Anna Case. celebrated soprano. sans
last night a running roundciay that
expressed a DIVING accomplishment
Internationally attained. There
seemed to DO n flowing, triokiing
underscolor Of desire to acknowledge
by her supremest efforts the yearn.
ing Of her Casper audience for trans-
ocndentai music.
After the program had been con.
clrded. and after an inceptive tri-
umph for music OF the highest class
had been gloriousiy written in Cas-.
ptr's history, Miss Case said to q
member OF the Tribune staff:
My Casper reception has, indeed,
been a real n worthwhile pleasure.
I am happy to feel that such splen.
did appreciation has been shown me,
as WINS indicated by the continuous
applause this evening""
The singer appeared In a gorgeous
white gown. tightly bodiced, so that
she might almost have been a Wat.
teau lady OF a past and gracious age.
In her first group Of three songs
she gathered the gifts and charms
hat In her following selections were
to carry her hearers into another
and celestial sphere. As the pro-
grom progressed the eniivened re-
sponge Of her audience was repeat
edly shown and several times she
answered the enthusiasm with en-
cores. all Of which were compost
tons of her accompanies. Charles
Gilbert Spross,
To acceptably declare one song
to have been delyeed in a moro ap.
peaiing or more perfect way than
enother would. naturally, lead one
into a maze OF varying pleasures In
such a uniformly remarkable recit-
al as given by Anna Case last night.
1t will not be difficult to remember
how the artist demonstrated a YER
satilitY OF expression in interpreting
her various numbers. From the re-
ligio.sacred Angels Ever Bright and
Fair by Handel. to Roland Fariey's
THE Night Wind a SURPRISING
range of ability vas displayed by
Miss Case,
So infrequently is an accompanies
of Mr.. Sprosa' ability seer anywhere
in the country that It is only proper
that he be highly praised for that 80
essential and yet necessarily modest
part, Then. too. his excellent com.
PIANIST takes. An added splendor. a
brighter halo OF perfection was cast
about the solos sung by Miss Case
because OF the admirable way in
which, Mr.. spross performed his
part. Tthen. too, his excellent COM.
positions. which were Miss Cases
encore numbers. were all of that
class Of music that is unhestitating.
ly accepted by a discriminating audi
ence.
Never has Casper shown such a
whoehearted appreciation of a thing
well done. The charity division of
tho Woman's Departmental club Is
to be comDlimented upon its success
In starting out the w~intcr's season
of musicales. The milk fund which
they have so solicitously sought TO
build up is now apparently assured.
1t Is to be hoped that ut tho next
concert in December those coming
In after the recital has started will
be handled in a different way. Last
night many were shown to thei
seats in between numbers while
properly they should be kept In the
foyer until the completion Of a
group. which will work no hardship
on them and none on the singer, who
must otherwise wait each time until
everything is quiet before she can
proceed with her nrovrar
Following is the program given
at the America theater last night.
An excellent Stelnway grand piano
