HENRIETTE LIE MENAGER.

A young soprano, a Washington
girl, with fine voice of velvety quail
ity, charming personality and stage
presence and the power of making
her audience share her evident 10Y
in her singing, made a successful
debut in recital at the Willard Hotel
last night. The young lady was Hen
riette LIE Menager and. if she fulfills
the rich promise of this recital. she
will shortly be a professional singer
of whom this city can well be proud
Although she is slender, fair young
person. her voice already is big, with
a mature sweep in many of her tones
and excellent placement of her higher
notes. She sings. apparently, without
effort. and her expressive face and
graceful gestures help her consider
ably in telling the story of her song
with fine Interpretation of it's mood.
Miss LIE Menager's lower tones seemed
a trifle uncertain, but that was doubt
less due to the nervousness always
present in ones first recital.
The first group of songs suited the
singers voice admirably. especially
'Spirate pur Spirate," by Donaudy,
and the encore, Tosti's La Sere-
nata." Her phrasing was smooth and
her tones were well shaded. She has
no tremulo.
In the group of German lieder she
showed great possibilities for interpre-
tation, but the subtleties of the lieder
style and the German language for
the song diction are not yet hers. She
will doubtless grow up to them in
time.
Perhaps the most amazing and ii.
Illuminating number on the program
to show the beauty and power of
her voice and dramatic gifts was the
