CAPPELLLAPPEARS INLOGAL CONGERT Tenor Most Pleasing When He Sings Folk Songs Mario Cappelll, Itallan-American tenor, filled another local engage- ment at Trinity Methodist church last night. Since his first appear- ance here last year at a regular church service, when he gave the congregation a chance to see what he could do, he has become quite a favorite, engagements following in a rapid order in Connecticut cities. His modus operandi is the same al- most everywhere: First a few solos at a church glad of the opportunity to hear a stranger of abllity sing at a service; then a buzz” of interest among the congregation; then an engagement for a week-day concert; then others later. It is an original system, devised by Cappelll himself; and it works. Where many another singer of parts is wondering where the next engagement is coming from Cappelli does not need to let worry interfere with his technie, For the most part Cappelll stuck to his printed program last night. The reception he got from the au- dience was about as usual, the pre- vafling opinion being that though he could sing operatic arias quite ac- ceptably and with a certain degree of skill still his main forte lay in playing upon the emotions with folk songs, heart songs, and those that specialize in tune and a semblance of even rhythm, like the Negro Spirituals. He added the “Little Brown Bear" the spiritual “Standing in the Need of Prayer,” “Holy Hours” “The Rosary,” Itallan folk songs, and *“Going Home.” The latter consists of words set to a theme from the New World Symphony by Dvorak and Cappelll aims to make his au- dience weep as he cuts deep into their emotions. And often he suc- ceeds. His planist was Clitfford Fuller, a modest, unassuming and rather bashful gentleman who played some | Chopin while Cappelli caught his breath. And be it said that Planist Fuller knew his chops.
