N7OME idea Of the immense tri-
umphs of Madame CALI Curci
on her recent foreign tours
may be gained from the following
gripping description Of her London
debut, with which an extended tour
Of the British Isles began. This
description appeared in the London
Express on the day following her
first concert there, and becomes still
more notable when one considers
the reserve Of the British Press.
1t ran as follows: THE amazing
scenes in the Albert Hall yesterday
when Madame CALI Curci, America s
greatest singer, gave her first con-
cert in England can be compared
only to a novelist's idea of a sing
er's triumph.
For two hours 10000 men and
women, packed in tiers to the great
dome, sat under the spell of her sill
yer voice. Her last song over, the
audience awakened as if from a
trance, and called her again and
again. Time after time she came,
kissing her hands, waving her hand
kerchief. The Unsuitable thousands
still shouted and stamped, demand
ing more. She sat down at the
piano, and in a sudden hush sang,
Home, Sweet Home
"a few thousand took the hint:
few thousand stayed on. The lights
went down. There were great red
plush gaps in the sea OF faces, the
sound of departing feet echoed
through the hall. Still the waver-
ing crowd stamped and shouted and
they were rewarded.
Suddenly, Unexpectedly, impuls-
lively, Madame Galli-Curci pressed
through the crowd that invaded the
platform. She came to the front
through a line Of arms. A man tried
to shake hands with her; women's
whites loved fingers touched her
bare arms. She reached the front
of the packed platform. the accom-
PIANIST struck a note and she began
to sing.
Immediately there was a rush
back into the hall. Men and women
stood on chairs. Excited people
dashed noisily up the stairs, and
arrived painting with excitement, as
through the half empty Albert Hall
rang the notes of a Spanish song,
'Clavelitos.'
ION the last note Madame CALI
IN &c
citedly tore out pink and white
carnations, which she flung to the
outstretched arms. The crowd
seemed likely to press her from the
platform. She was unconscious of
It. She only wanted to give some
thing to the people who had given
her so much tribute.
I'm a passionate Latin way, avoid
ing the officials who tried to head
her off, she rushed to a basket Of
giant chrysanthemums and tore at
them violently, and, smiling, tossed
them to the people. Then she al
lowed herself to be led away. Her
first appearance was as quiet as
her disappearance was dramatic"
After a whole year of absence, in
which this most famous of world
artists has arounsed big scenes Of a
frenzied appreciation throughout
the British Isles. Australia, New
Zealand and in Honolulu. Madame
CALI Curci will once more be heard
here at Murat Theatre, on Sunday
afternoon, April 25, under the Ona
B. Talbot Fine Arts Direction.
