The sunny prima donna_ of the ropolitan’ Opera Co., Viennese ia Jeritza, won appl from & standing-room-only audience at her recital yesterday afternoon. The graclous soprano never seemed in more happy mood or voice and showed her appreciation of the en- thusiasm of her audience with encores and smiles. In her opening number, the aria. “T1 est doux, 11 est bon, from Messenet's “Herodiade,” she seemed to restrain her tones to concert legato rather than expressing the drama of the song, and in this number only did ere seem a suspicion of roughness rop” from her ringing higher tones to the lower notes. It was not a particularly easy number on which to launch a concert. Mme. Jeritza was thoroughly at home in the group of German lieder exquisite songs sung beautifully. First there was Brahma' “Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer,” softly sustained legato singing, contrasted excellently with Schubert's very dramatic *“Erl- koenig,” sung with quite as much character delineation even the singers noted for this number have given it. There may have been rem- iniscent touches in Its Interpretation vesterday, but there surely were effec. tive power and beauty. The air “Lau tenlied red Marietta,” from “Die Tote Stadt,” and Richard Strauss’ “Cecelia’ were the encores. The next group was @ song by the Venezuelan compow Reynaldo Hahn, and followed b soldier's colorful song, “Au Pays,” hy Augusta. Holmes he other numbers and the encores were all in English. Mme. Jeritza shows wisdom in learn. ing more English songs and putting them pn her programs. Also her diction in this language shows marked Improvement, and what accent there 1s gives charming flavor to h bers. 8he sang Rasbach's ‘T, Which won applause that suggested its repetition; a little puzuled for a second as to what to do, her accom- panist, Emil Polak, having swung into the first phrases of the next song. Mme. Jeritza caught her cue a launched the lovely “Spring Dropped a Song Into M of Beatrice Fenner on its jo Then cam a cha “An pened with a Yous way. rming little ur, Tes Yeux, Wintter Watts' i, Moore's When Love is K which, slthough written by Tom Moore & couple of hundred yeurs ago, was 30 shrewdly appropriate 1o present-day sentiment with its “love may go hung,” that vipples of laugh- ter greeted ouch verse, and, although the singer did leuve off the final l((le cadenza, she sang the song %o smusin, 1y that nobody cared g at all and Terr) Kor the very' end, saved her big wria 'from “Turandot,” the aria In g Reggin,” Which she Infused with iha cold rage and sensitive wistfulness of the Chinexs princess’ complicated paychology. 1t was dramatically a work of art and vocally not nearly so devoid of musical worth as one might have been led to suppose from reports hy critics of the opera interesting and hr a concert prog t was the air Mme. was Hutchinson's Assisting Mme.

His singing of the song “My Object Most Sublim inter- from Gilbert and Sullivan's opera he Mikado” and introducing some new verses, deserves special mention. A feaiure of the production was k in the final scene'as the sole mode of illumination also added much to the pleturesqueness of the perform- ance. A Japanese dance was per- formed -by eight girls. A large amount of credit for the success of this operetta should be given to Florence Lawson, planiat, who provided the aceompuniment for the performance.
