GERTRUDE FORSTEL Gertrude Forstel, of the Vienna Opera, who has won such favor as first soprano soloist in the Mahler eighth symphony here last September, gave a song recital last Friday evening, and It - cannot be said that she strengthened the good impression previously made. However, this time she sang under difficulties, for she had done Mignon in Vienna the previous evening, spent tbe whole day coming here (a ten hours Journey), and arrived only two hours before her concert. Her program- was not intelligently selected. Starting with an aria fram Mozart's "Elopement from the Seralgllo," there followed two songs by Bruno Walter, three by G. Guhler, two by W. von Bartels, three by Wolf, four by Mahler, and a group . by Strauss. Too much modern German; at least for this singer. These songs demand particularly a perfect interpretative art, and this Frauleln Forstel, who Is in the first place an opera singer, does not possess. The audience remained cool until the Strauss group, where, In spite of the fact that these songs too, were not very well sung, some enthusiasm waa displayed Letter from Munich to Musical Courier.

BOY BROKER BACK FORJMARIIIG Robert Davis Returned to Boston from Brazil His Unique Career.

(American News Service) Boston, Mass., April 22. Many Bos-

tonians who had become victims of

the high finance methods of Robert Emerson Davie, known as "The Boy Broker," during his meteoric career in this city, are awaiting with considerable interest the return of the young man, who was arrested in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is due to arrive in New York in charge of two police inspectors, on the steamer Byron today or tomorrow. Davie is only twenty-five years of age now and was scarcely more than a boy when he began hi3 career in Boston a few years ago. He had been clerk in a broker's office, but this did not satisfy his amb.ion. He went into business on his own account and

opened an elegantly furnished office on State street. He represented himself as being closely connected with J. P. Morgan and Co.. and being of preposessing appearance, good address possessing appearance, good address difficulty in winning the good will and confidence of many wealthy business men and capitalists. He was always well dressed, occupied elegant apartments in Brookline. had an automobile and. began to build a stately mansion for himself at Weston, one of the aristocratic suburbs of Boston. He pretended to be extremely religious and on various occasions showed surprising familiarity with the Bible. His interest In church work won him the confidence of many religious persons of wealth and induced even some ministers to entrust their savings to him for investment. In a short time business became extremely brisk and Davie realized large profits from the investments entrusted to him. He became quite a social factor, contributed liberally to charitable and religious purposes, gave extravagant dinners at his apartment and spent money lavishly until some time in the early autumn of last year, when he suddenly disappeared from Boston, leaving his affairs in a decidedly unsettled condition. Soon complaints began to pour in from all sides. The first complaint that was made to the police came from Mrs. Hannah L. Greenwood, wife of the Rev. Lawrence B. Greenwood, the evangelist, who charged that Davie had stolen $10,550 worth of stock certificates which she had intrusted to bis care. This led tbe police authorities to make an investigation into the methods of the fugitive broker and soon a large amount of incriminating evidence had been gathered against Davie. Many wealthy persons, who had been duoed by Davie, refused to make cbargesagainst him, because they were ashamed to admit how easily they had been taken in by the dashing young financier. However several of the victims began suits and the property left behind by Davie was seized and sold at auction. ' The police authorities sent pictures and descriptions of the fugitive Davie to the authorities throughout the world and the circular sent to the chief of police of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, led to the identification and the arrest of Davie in that city on February 23 of this year. Mr. Slechta, the American consul in Rio de Janeiro communicated by wire with the Boston police and the latter applied to Secretary of State Knox for a provisional order of detention. The order could not be granted, however, as the charge against Davie was larceny, which is not an extradittonal offense. The charge was changed to one of embezzlement and the necessary papers were issued by the State Departmnt. Armd with the extradition papers and the necessary credentials police inspectors Pelton and Burr started

from Boston for Rio de Janeiro on the morning of March 4, and after all the formalities of extradition had been completed Davie was turned over to them by the authorities of Rio de Janeiro and the two Inspectors with their prisoner sailed on the Byron for New York on April 5.
