Besides, as soloists, there were Mme, G. Bauron- Fonartewa, soprano; Sophie Braslau, | contralto of the Motropolitan Opera Company, and Oxsip Gabrilowitsch, the distinguished Russian pianist Mies Brasiau's finely dramatto aing- ing of Cul's “War,” with its tears, its fire, ite bravery, its prayer, its avenger, and Its angel “who Judges untruth and punishes crime," made a deep impression upon a large audi- ence, Eugene Bernstein was the ac- companist. At the end, after the Slavic muate, | there was a fine moment when the choir sang “America” in English, and the audience avvlauded with fervor, Marguerite Melville Linzniewska, pianist, an American who was trained in Vienna, gave a recital at Acolian Hall last night.
