Sophie Brasluu, the popular young contralto from the Metropolitan Overa House, delighted a large audi- ence with her concert program at the President Theater yesterday aft- ernoon, under the management of Mrs. Wilson-Greene. There is always a sympathetic and interested audience for Miss Braslau whenever she appears in this city, and she was forced to give several encores in response to enthusiastic appreciation of most of her songs. Miss Braslaw's pronounced adeptness at singing in the languages of their composers, and yet retaining the game clear enunciation in all, 18 re- markable. Her dramatic personality also does much toward adding to the effectiveness of her singing. The types of song sung yesterday were as varied as the languages in which this accomplished artist sings, and her technique, range of volce and splendid control of her tones were most effectively displayed. Miss Bras- lau had her audience with her every minute of every song. Her first number, “O Come to Me, Beloved,” from the seventeenth cen- tury English ballads, emphasized par- ticularly her power of control. “Furi- bondo,” by Handel, emphasized her dramatic fervor, and the little group of four songs by Shubert, which completed this part of the program, gave both her voice and emotional power varied opportunities. ‘Rast- losse Liebe” (Restless Love) was es- pecially original in its treatment, and the always effective “Erlkoenig’” was followed by the heartiest of applause on the part of the audience. “Eter- nal” by Eric Wolf, was sung as Miss Braslau's encore to the continuous applause. It offered a pleasing, deli- cate contrast to the stormy poem of Goethe. Werner Josten's “Serenade,” the opening number of the second group, was followed by “I Passed by Your Window,” by the modern English composer, May Brahe, which was given every possible shading to bring out its delicate beauty. The sim: plicity and wistful charm of the co: position showed primarily the adapt bility of the singer's personality. Smiles and murmurs of approbation mingled with demands for its repe- tition. “The Lover's Curse.”. a wery dramatic song, was followed with “Send Me a Lover, St. Valentine.” an old English song, which provoked mirth. This song was contrasted pleasingly with two sung in Amer- iean negro dialect, in which Miss Braslau e They were “Weep- ing Mammy H. T. Burleigh, and Lilltan _Strickland’s _“Malinda ' Lu.” Coleridge-Taylor's “Thou Art Risen, My Beloved,” completed the second part of the program. The first three numbers of the last part of the program were all on Rus- sian motifs and showed the great versatility of theme which Miss Braslau is able to command sym- pathetically. Rachmaninoff’s “Cry of Russia,” as she vocalized it, gave full opportunity to her dramatic powers, and Moussorgsky's “On_the Dneiper” and “The Classicist” were both spiritedly given in the Russian. | Owing to the length of the pro- | gram, Massenet's “Twilight” and Du- bois' *Tarantelle” were replaced by ‘As We Part” and the vivid@ “Brin- disi* from Donizetti's “Lucretia ! Borgia.” The latter is one of the | singer’s most pepular songs and she gives it a superb interpretation.

Victor Golibart Recital. ‘Victor -Golibart, the young Wash- ington tenor, who has ‘just returned to the city after several years in New York preparing for a professional career, was heard in recital last even- ing at the New Masonic Auditorfum by a large audience, scoring a per- sonal triumph from the first note of lhis aria, Handel's “Where'er You Walk,” to the last phrase of his final a negro spirituel, “Hard Expectation ran high among music lovers and friends of Mr. Goli- bart who remembered his voice of lovely lyric quality. 1f one may judge by the repeated and spontaneous ap- plause after each appearance, he fully satisfied anticipations. In the varied program last evening he sang with simplicity and ease, a | fine sense of artistic appreciation of both text and music, and unquestion- able versatility in meeting the de- mands of such widely contrasting works as were presented in groups of old Itallan, German, French, old English, Irish folk music and negro spirituels, ‘While Mr. Golibart has sufficient | dramatic power for any of the num- bers glven last evening, it was in his mezzo-voce singing that he made his best impression. _ “L'Heure _Sileq- cieuse,” by Staub, Schubert’s “Du Bist die Ruh,” “Passing By,” by Purcell, and Fourdrain's “Carnaval” were par- ticularly pleasing. Other numbers that met with popular appreciation were “Mainacht,” by Brahms; “Dan- sons la Gigue,” by Poldowski; “The Toy Balloon.” by Julia Fox; “Little Mother of Mine,” by Burleigh, and the spiritulls, “Standin’ in de Need o' Prayer” and “Walit 'Til I Put on My Crown,” both by Reddick. In response to repeated recalls, he gave as encores “Les Roses,” by Alin, and “Rain,” by Curran, The remain- ing program numbers were “Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento,” by Paislello; “She Never Told Her Love,” by Haydn; nvocazione di Orpheo,” “ur Musick,” by Franz; “Madchen Mit Dem Roth “Beau Soir,” v parc; “Memory,” by Rudolph Moonlight,” by Haile; by Strickland. and the quaint; Starving Crowds Investigation, just completed by the American Red Cross among the islands of the Aegean sea, re- vealed ‘“terrible conditions un- known on the Greek mainland,” according to u cablegram received at national headquarters here to- day. Refugees, the passage said. in numbers exceeding the normal population, are destitute on cer- tain of the islands and have becn for two months. D. O. Hubbard, senior secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Athens, who made & tour of the islands on be- half of the American Red Cross, reported that the suffering people need 100,000 blankets and more than 100 tons of flour daily to sus- tain life, as well as immense quantity of clothing and shoes. On one of the Islands visited by Mr, Hubbard the refugees were living_on locust pods. The story spreading that the ship he was on had brought bread, the refugees «followed the Red Cross repre- sentative to the wharf, and, in their starving frenzy, pushed him into the water. On Milos, within a half mile of whero the Venus de Milo was found, refugees were boiling grass which goats had re- fused to eat. “Everywhere we saw women and little children, who on long marches to seaport towns had worn out their shoes, their feet having become infected.” reported Mr. Hubbard. “Epidemics of dysentary and scarlet fever have started on more than half the lands. In many places I saw people sleeping without bedding on stone floors that were so damp their clothing was soaked. found one old woman, whose leg had been broken by the Turks and blinded by the prevalent eye dis- ease, lying on a plece of burlap out of which I squeezed water.” — Kathleen Mavourneen,” by Crouch.
