Rosemary Roner
Wins Audience in
Phillips Recital
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

A talented young singer, Rose
mary Rorner, was heard in recital
last night in the Phillips Gallery
with evident appreciation by
larger audience than the holiday
might have warranted.
Accompanied by August King
Smith at the piano she sang a pro-
gram that put special stress on her
interpretive powers which are OF a
high order. Three arias were in
cluded, the Deb yiene, non tardar"
from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro" :"
Una voce POGO ia" from Rossini's
"Barbiere di Siyiglia" and "Qui la
voce" from Bellini's "I Puritani"
The arias showed Miss Romer's
possession of a flexible voice quite
equal to the technical embellish-
ments Of these numbers. Yet 1t was
not these works that impressed most
or revealed the finer qualities Of her
voice. This was to be found in the
songs, which were confined to those
of Brahms, to the modern French
composers, with number by Sibe-
Illus included, and to group sung
in English.
The unusual evenness of Miss
Romer's voice makes her lower tones
as important as the higher register
and through this she was able to
achieve many lovely effects in the
songs. She has a rare gift of ap-
probation of the poetry of the text
and a particular skill in directing
the light, sweet timbre of her voice
to its colorful reproduction. Al
though she Is not yet mistress of a
good legato, she makes up for it by
the power to direct emotional feel
ing. into her tones.
In the Brahms songs: "Wie Melo-
dien zieht es mir" ''Nachtigall, /"
"Wir wandelten" and in Szulc s
Claire de Lune," Hahn's Dune
prison" and -Fairchild's Memory
she created the atmosphere and
caught the sentiment with most
artistic results. The quicker tempo
of Brahms "Standchen" and De-
bussy's ''Mandoline" affected the
quality of her tones to a certain
degree and they were less well de-
livered in consequence.
The coloratura passages in the
arias were not taken at top speed
losing their brilliancy somewhat
thereby but the operate numbers
served to show off her high register
which is as naturally produced as
the lower. She is one Of the few
singers able to maintain color and
equal volume throughout the
changes of range these works con-
tain and be at home in both the

Just what kind of a hit Walter
