Mime. Flagstad Achieves
Emotional Intensity in Song
Perfectly Spun Vocal Tone
Enthralls Audience; Macarthur
Again Is Guest Conductor
By ALICE EyERSMAN,

With the National Symphony Orches-

q manner that none of the singers

which Is so beautifully defined in
"Befreit" was realized to the fullest
by the artist. This song, one of
the most beautiful which Strauss
has written, is seldom sung, for ii
is difficult to arrive at that COM
plete understanding of it which
Mime. Flagstad has found. "Aller-
seelen" and "Caecilie" are familiar
to concert audiences, yet there was
a richer meaning to each as the
singer gave them last evening.
The devotional simplicity of Eliz-
abeth's prayer from "Tannhauser'
and the exaltation of "Du bist der
Lenz," from die Walkure," with
which Nine. Flagstad concluded the
program, gave full opportunity for
the singers art to be appreciated.
The perfectly matched tones and
the fine musical development of the
phrases were such as only rarely is
heard, while the poignant quality
of her voice was a superb medium
OF expression for these lovely num-
bers. The audience was enthralled
and uplifted, and said so.
For the orchestra part of the
program, Mr.. Macarthur had chosen
Beethoven's Overture to "Egmont," !"
Strauss Death and Transfigura-
tion," the Preludes to Acts / and

in the spell of perfectly spun vocal
formance with the symphony, was
Edwin Macarthur as guest conduc-
tor, the young artist accompanist
of the singer in recitals who made
name for himself with the superb
support he gave her at the piano.
Three composers only were rep
resented on the program-Bee-
thoven, Strauss and Wagner. The
great scene and aria "Ah, Perfldo,"
which Nine. Flagstad sang here
before with the Philadelphia or
chestra, was her major offering and
her singing of it was deeply emo
tional and exquisitely toned. Nine.
Flagstad was often reproached when
she was first heard in this country
with a lack Of feeling, but no accusa-
ton of that sort could be said OF
her performance last evening
Everything she sang was not only
marvelously thought out but given
with emotional intensity and, when
necessary, emotional fire. In this
respect alone, her singing OF last
evening was far and above any she
has done here before.
At the same time, her beautiful
voice had a shade less of its velveti-
ness and its vitality. The ring that
carried the high tones with such
glorious freedom into space was not
so pronounced. nor was there quite
the glow of color that has been her
distinguishing feature. This does
not mean to say that the great
singer is less great today, but merely
that for some reason these quail
ties which are peculiarly her own
were not present so convincingly
last evening.
Strauss "Befreit," "Allerseelen"
and "Caecilie" followed, and in the
first two the combination of her
unique vocal tone and the senti-
ment which she put into the inter-
probation were as near perfection as
one could wish. The emotion OF
deep regret and deep happiness

High g School
Senior Glass
Play Planned
Annual Production Will b
Staged On Friday Eve
ming, April 26

"SDooks' is the name and spOoky
is the atmosphere of the play which
the seniors of New Hanover High
school will present in the school
auditorium on Friday evening,
April 26. Following the usual Gus
tom, this years class has chosen q
play which proved a success on the
legitimate stage, and which will as
sure the audience of a worthwhile
evenings entertainment. From its
first presentation at t h e Forth
Eighth street theatre in New York
city, ~'Spooks', written by Robert
j. sherman, has been popular with
audiences through out the country.
The reason for the continuing
success of this play lies in the fact
that it combines those elements Of
a good story which appeal most to
an audience; mystery, humor, and
love. From the moment the curtain
rises ON a semi-darkened stage to
the last Shrek of horror, the aud
fence is always waiting with dread
fascination for the next pounce of
the unknown enemy. Yet only tell
ing half to dwell on the mysterious
atmosphere of "Spooks'', for the
suspense is constantly punctuated
by laughs. The characters, some
times skeptical a d sometimes
frankly afraid, are just like ordi-
nary people. They manage to get
a great deal of fun out of their dan
Serous situation-and so will the
audience. In fact, in the midst of all
the sWlft-moVing incidents of this
play the author has injected a very
tender romance,
No expense or efforts are being
spared by members of the senior
class in staging their play with
professional finish. Lighting anu
sound effects, of which there is a
surprising variety, are being care
fully worked out. The actors are
rehearsing daily, The staging com
mlttee is having some new pieces
OF scenery built. Although many
excellent performances have been
given in past years by New Han
over High school seniors, t h e
class OF 1910 has reason to hope
that its presentation of "Spooks'
Will rank among the best.
