POLI’S—Galli-Curci’s Recital. Amelita Galli-Curci, Italian prima prima donna of the colatura voice that has won millions of worship pers, gave a delightful program be: fore a house filled to overflowing. as always the custom when Galll- Curci comes to sing, at Poll’s yester day afternoon. Her program in- cluded a number of songs not usually assoclated wita her type of volce yet they were enjoyed and, in her generous supply of encores, sh ciously gave many of the songs that are among the most pop- ular in her repertoire.

The song about a fireman's wife seemed the best in her reper- toire, and, although heard here be- fore, it scorcd a tremendous hit. She had to answer at least a dozen recalls, and then the audlence refused to let her off until she sang “Red Head,” a song that always is appreciated, as it is one of Miss Franklin's first big hits. Good musie, either vocal or instru- mental, finds much faver with Keith patrons, and Paul Specht's Orchestra eived a rousing welcome for its itie “symphonic syncopation” of | and popular airs. Mr. Specht vod several seasons on the t stage as a soloist, and his ar- rangement of tuneful jingles under the title, “The Evolution of the Mod- ern Dance Music,” was received with unbounded delight.
