Famous Metropolitan Star Fea- lure Of Children'S Home Concert

Lovers Of the ultra in music will storm Fox's theater tomorrow after
 noon at 3 o'clock when Mime. sigrid
 Onegin of the Metropolitan Opera company will sing under the auspices of the Swedish churches and societies
 which engage celebrity of the opera world each year for the purpose of raising funds for the children's Home.
 In addition to Mime. Onegin, the program will include selections by the Wennerberg male chorus which has been organized and drilled by Rev. Dr. Abel Ahlquist of the First Luth- eran church.
 X member of the committee said this morning that all seats had been taken with the exception of about 100 which can be bought at the theater box office tomorrow.
 Concerning Mime Onegin, the Bos- ton Transcript" one of the most con- servative newspapers in the United States. says:
 By every sign known to the chron- icle of the concert hall high word from New York had been this day fulfilled in Boston ears. Clearly Mime. Onegin's best possession is her voice. She calls herself contralto. The lower range. the deeper timbres of her tones, warrant such designation; yet they run as high and as full as any mezzosoprano's. These upper tones indeed give her voice indivi- duality, since they are singularly clear, bright and soft, with the resonance that may haunt the poets fancy when they write of silver trumpets. Elsewhere Mime. Onegin escapes the thickness, the heaviness, the un- wiediness of tone. often haunting contralto voices. Rich sounds her singing; deep it may go; she may flood it into phrases long sustained yet never once does it lose this bright resonance. Therein has she, again, n rare, an individualized voice. It is supple, as we'll at ease and a glow in quick-paced, changefulNmusic, cap able even of arabesques and the orna- ments of song. In 1t also dwells rare propulsive power. She does not drive through her songs after the manner of many a singer similarly
