ROLAND HAYES SINGS.

Roland Hayes, the colored Ameri-
can tenor. who has been awarded
many and unusual honoHS by Euro
pean powers because of the success
of his concerts abroad. and who has
been equally enthusiastically pro-
claimed by Boston and New York au-

audience of Washington concert-go
at the Washington Auditorium last
night This singer has been heard in
smaller recitals elsewhere in the city
previously. Last night the huge au-
ditorium was almost filled with sew
eral thousand people for this concert.
There Is no doubt at all that Roland
Hayes has n beautiful voice, fine
training and possesses deep appreci-
alton of the values in every song
which he sings. He seems to be the
sincere. painstaking artist, yet has
ahat intangible quality that makes for
great popularity in addition to his
artistry. The entire audience received
his interpretations so enthusiastically
that two of them, Roger Quilter's
dainty setting for Shakespeare's 1T
Was a Lover and His Lass and
Hayes own setting Of the spiritual
"Litl David Play on Yo' Harp" had
to be repeated. Also, though the
singer limited himself to three encores
at the conclusion Of the program, the
audience remained standing and ap-
plauding for several minutes after
the last song.
There was a touch of nervousness
apparent in the singers attitude dur
