MARTINI DRAWS
THRONG OF $500
TO HEAR SONGS
Exponent Of Lighter
Vocal Literature
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

Nino Martini, popular figure Of
the screen, made a personal ap-
pearance at Constitution Hall yes
terday afternoon to be greeted by
more than $500 admirers Of what
the program notes described as his
cj1ematic art.
Acknowledging a new two dollar
word with gratitude it is necessary
also to pay tribute to Mr.. Martini
as an exponent of the lighter ele-
mentS of vocal literature. His
Hollywood repertoire has made
him a specialist in songs Of this
type and they seem, at the mo-
ment, to represent the height OF
his attainments.
SINGS WITH FEELING
He sings such songs with feel
ing. The timber of his voice has
hint of romantic melancholy.
He can pronounce platitudeS, tex
tual or melodic, with that personal
emphasis which his admirers ex-
pect. All such numbers were re-
ceived with great applause.
That his vocal control is not
perfect was attested by his habit
of "scooping" the tone in ascend
ing passages. His musical liml-
tation is a common one with voices
of slight volume. Though he has
gained somewhat in tonal reson-
ance he has not matched vocal
with interpretative progress and
tends to sing works of diverse
origin and meaning in quite the
same manner.
Mr.. Martini's most conspicuous
spiritual shortcoming seems to be
q deficiency in poetic rapture
such as Rachmaninoff has voiced
in his great song "The Floods OF
Spring" He has some knowledge
of style, enough to use the French
falsetto in a BiZet aria, but not
enough to unite the classic beauty
Of a Mozart aria with is pro-
found spiritual content.
EXCELLENT ACCOMPANIST
He prof1ted by the excellent
piano Accomplishments of Mihuel
Sandoval, who also contributed
piano solos to the program.
At the National Operas ''Rigo-
letto" matinee, Maria Conway
Coffey, resident soprano, made
her debut in the role Of Gilda.
Her voice has the youthful fresh
ness and fragility demanded by
the part and much of the requi-
site vocal agility has been &C.
Quired.
Patrick Henry, who was an un-
satisfactory Faust, proved com
quired.
