music so Is his singing, he broke
through that polish and statelineSs
perhaps referred to and In many In
stances proved himself thoroughly
impregnated with feeling.
Many tongues were wagging last
night, comparing him with Paul
Robson. Somehow, this seems un-
fair. One can be entirely loyal to
each of them in turn. For just as
Robson sang Water Boy" only a
week or so ago with a grace that one
would have thought unbeatable, so
Hayes sang it after his own manner
last night, and made one forget that
it had ever been heard before. Each
did 1t IN his own way. 1t is impos-
sible to say which outshone the
other. Each Is an artist whose per.
Sonal idioSyncrasies make him the
outstanding artist which, without
tdioSyncraSieS, he wouldn't be.
The most favored Of last nights
selections, which Mr.. Hayes rendered
in his own inimitable way, were
Saint-Saens' Dance Macabre," sung
in French, and perhaps the Cesar
Franck "Nocturne." when he got to
the Spirituals there was, Of course,
an outburst Of enthusiasm, and such
songs as Sometimes I Feel Like q
Motherless Child" and 20, Let Me
Shine" reused much applause as
well as many encores. But these did
not by any means make one forget
that Mr.. Hayes has come to the
point where he can sing German
and French songs with the best Of
them-and probably better than
many Of the lustier tenor immortals
of ultra fashionable caliber.

housewives, eager to know how they
may feed their families properly at the

that the entire family, husband, wife
