Helen Phillips
Gives Recital
By EIeno de Soyn

The song recital by Helen Phil
lips at the Howard University
last night opened the 17th sea-
son OF concerts under the aus
pices of the School of Music. This
was the singers second appear
ance at the university, where she
made her local debut last Feb
ruary.
That she was well remembered
for her previous success was evil
dent from the reception accorded
her after each selection and espe-
fcially after those which ended on
Ia high note. These have never
failed as yet to rouse listeners
to pitch of enthusiasm and can
not be considered always a proof
fof an artistic achievement. How
ever, Miss Phillips has some beau
tiful high tones, especially when
she does not force them, as in
Brahms "Die Mainacht."
On the whole, the artist did not
seem to be her former self. She
still has her lovely, natural voice,
rich and warm. yet it lacked often
the repose to bring out the best
in it. as in the German group
made up of four Brahms songs.
Interpretatively they did not go
beyond the confines of the con-
ventional, nor did Hue's "J'ai
pleure en- reve';; Staub's ''L,heure
delicieuse" and Faure's la fleur
jetee."
Miss Phillips still has trouble
with her enunciation, which was
hardly intelligible last night. She
did her finest in Handel's "Oh
Sleep. Why Dost Thou Leave Me, "
sung softly and knowingly. Her
program, which opened with "Aria
di Polissena" from Handels "Ra-
damisto," included two others:
Pace, Pace" from Verdi's La
forza del destino." and "voi 10
sapete" from Mascagni's "Caval-
leria Rusticana," sung as an en-
core. Richmond Gale was the ac-
companist.
