Mr. McCor- mack and Miss Borl arrived early |and rehearsed for nearly an hour |before the concert. Mr. Mec- Cormack sang first. He opened with “Adeste Fideles” with quartet and orchestra, and then sang the Berceuse from “Jocelyn,” with cello obligato. Miss Bori then sang “La Paloma,” “When Love Is Kind,” and “Addio Del Passato,” from “La | Traviata,” Then followed the duect “Parigi, O Cara,” from the same oper After two orchestra num- bers, Mr. McCormack concluded his he program with “Mar- | Mother Machree'sand “AH Something Lost Critics who listened-in on the con- rt reported that the most obvious | thing was that something is when a singer is heard |radio.
