LAWRENCE TIBBETT's RECITAL.


The young California baritone who
rose to fame overnight at the Met"
two seasons ago in a performance as
Ford in "Falstaff," Lawrence Tibhett,
appeared in a recital at Polls Theater
yesterday afternoon. His program
was extremely varied in the character
of songs he sang. 1t opened tradi-
tionally enough with Giorda nos "Caro
mio ben," sung with punctilious re-
gard for the mecha nisms of singing,
and followed with the equally tradi
tional recitative and aria from Han.
,.el's "Acis and Galatea. 20. Ruddier
Than the Cherry" The skill with
which the singer handled the fio, id
phrases and the variety OF emphasis
that he placed on the oft.repea ted
phrases were admirable.
However. it was in an entirely diff
ferent type Of song that he dspla yed
the most originality and seemed to
please his audience most. After all,
any well trained singer can sing the
classics with Skill but it is in the ieal |
convection of the musical message
that performer shows whether he is
Just well trained or whether he
possesses inherent artistry. Mr.. Tib.
bett showed that he is, first of all.

Among the Dead Men" which, he

Hughes,, THE Country Feast also
by Moussorgsky. queer song entitled

Mr. Tibbett has some exquisite high
