Roland Hayes Art.

THE remarkable Negro tenor, Roland
Hayes, will present q recital pro-
gram at the Belasco Theater the eve
ming of April 30. This will be the last
artist concert of the season. 1t is man.
aged by T. Arthur Smith.
There is nothing sensational about
the art Of Roland Hayes, unless, 1t is
the spectacle Of great, hushed audi
ence, lost as is the singer himself in
the subtler, delicate beauties, the evasive
inner mood Of a great singer.
Through all this the singers aspect
is as inconspicuous as his address. The
slight young man stands at the front
of the stage, quiet and courteous, until
the expectant audience is still. Then,
as quietly and with no trace of plat
form manner" he begins to sing. His
voice has the dulcet ease Of his race.
To Roland Hayes the love Of his art
is everything. Neither his programs
nor his method Of singing have q single
moment Of tawdry sensationalism.
