ENCORES CAUSE
TIBBETT TO MISS
HIS TRAIN HERE.
Famous Singer Favors
English In Program
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

SJ "AAAA@AAAANA ANA4 w A'AAAAN
A sold-out house and so many
encores he had to take later
train to New York tell the story Of
Lawrence Tibett's recital in Con-
stitution Hall, yesterday after
noon.
The qualities Of his art that
provoked this reaction remain to
be catalogued. Voice is not the
most important Of these, despite
the fact that Tibbett is accounted
one of the greatest as well as the
most popular singer Of the day.
Certainly his voice is equal to
every demand that may be made
upon. it in his important operate
assignments or III the more varied
and exacting field of the concert
hail.
EQUAL TO ALL DEMANDS
This, however, is only the be-
ginning. Voice must be colored
to fit style, mood, tempo, the feel
ing of the word, the shape of the
musical phrase. The word, most
important factor of all, must be
read with that definition of its
sense and feeling that the fine
art Of diction achieves.
All these things Tibbett did
with the many undefinable and
purely spiritual resources of the
great actor, so that a program
ranging from old English and
Irish songs through German
Lieder to Russian and American
songs, became series of varied
and exciting events that appealed
with equal force to feeling and
intelligence.
FAVORS ENGLISH
The fact that two-thirds Of his
programmed numbers and all but
one of his encores were in English
proved the value which this Amer
lean singer places upon intelligi-
bility.
He is, I fancy, one of that con-
WINGED and determined minority
who believe that all lyric address,
in opera or in concert, should
be delivered in the language of
the listeners, a bit of self-evident
logic that Americans refuse to
accept.
FORGET PREJUDICE
T1hev seem willing to forget this
prejudice when Tibbett sings for
it was only in relation to his group
of Brahms and Eric Wolff Lieder
that the enthusiasm Of the audi
ence waned a bit, not, one may be
sure, because of racial prejudice,
but because for the majority, only
the musical elements of the adj
dress were valid. The listeners
were much more responsive to-
ward the definitely inferior song
of Joseph Marx offered as an en-
core in English.
FINE ACCOMPANIES
The public's reaction to an ex.
cerpt from "Rigoletto" earned
them the Toreador's song from
Carmen" the recital's only refer
ences to Tibbett's preoccupation
with the opening of the Metropoli-
tan season, now imminent. This is
to be "Otello" and it would have
been exciting had he seen fit to re-
hearSe the "Credo" for his Wash
ington admirers.
All his encores, however, were
responses to requests and they
kept him on the stage the better
part of two and half hours, re-
lieved only by brief intermission
and by the single group of piano
solos offered by his admirable &C.
companist, Stewart Willie.
