Ily Max Miranda. It would bo di.ticult to exaggerate In words of pra:e Mmo. SchumannHeink's iecitai at the Oliver Opera house last Cke.iiug. We of the dilelante cannot cuticize so wonderiul a peiformance; we can only try to ex piess our appreciation and delight in her artistry, her wholesoinencss ant her personal charm. All seats had been sold for seveial cays, and tho stage itself was packed wth sorrowed chairs. bver since Schumann-Heink gae her first concert to American audiences in New York city she has been greeted everywhere with capacity audiences. Capacity audiences are her specialty. Her only limit is all out of doors. .She was recently greeted by .-in audience of over JÜ.000 at the San Diego expositon. Her program was arranged rather chronologically, be-dning with composers of the German classic school, it . o.. mug number, "My Heart EVcr Faithful," b.v J. S. Haeh, was sung in Kngl.sh. All students who hate their Hath should have heard what wealth of expression and beauty of phrasing the artist avc to this composer of by-gone days. They would not then consider Dach an "'old fogy," to be mentioned merely over 'spectacles. The second number, "Ich Liebe Dich," by Delhoven, in German, and a thiid, "Ah Mon Fils," from the opera "Le Prophete," by Meyerbeer, in French, closed the first group. But she was compelled to respond to an encore. She chose "Put the Lord is Mindful of His Own," from the oratorio 't. Paul," by Mendelssohn. Her sc. ond group was all in German, and this was the group that pleased most: . (a) "My Sweet Repose." Schubert; (b) "The Trout." Schubert; '-The Erlking," Schubert; "Dreaming Thru the Twilight." Strauss; "Home Longing." Wolf; "Mother by the Cradle," Lowe, and "Spinnerlidchen," old German folksong. Perhaps the numbers that most gripped the audience were the "Erl

könig" and the "Cry of Kachel," her dramatic intensity in the latter exprtsising the agonies of a bereaved mother, and her versatility of mood portrayal in the former picturing the ride through the stormy night. The dramatization of the story- First the vo.ee of the story" teller excited at times and again hushed to a whisper. The father's enquiring tones, then the trrrarized voice of the child, and the aiiuring and enticing voice of the Erlking, the pent-up emotions find. ng expression in the stoic "das Kind war tod." To her second group she added "YVundershon Ist Die Frühlingszeit." by Keeker. Perhaps the numbers that most pleased the audience were in the last group, consisting chiefly of American composers. "Dawn in the Desert," by Gertrude Ross, was evidently aimed, to picture in tones the climax of a rising sun in the Garderi of Allah; "The Cry of Rachel." by Mary Turner Salter; "Down in the Forest." by L Ronald, a very popular number with concert givers, is of great worth. It is a difficult art song to Interpret, containing a whole lifetime of emotion in its three stanzas. Schumann-Heink breathed into it and it was all sufficiently satisfying. "The Rosary" she always sings. It is Schu-mann-Heink's sons par excellence. We should never be such students of the obscure In modern music as to despise a lovely melody. "Good Morning Sue," by- Delibes, and "A Childs Prayer" evinced that quaint humor so characteristic of her. When the program was finished not a person left his seat. The applause reached an ovation. She generously added two requests, "Kennst Du Das Land." from the opera "Mignon." by Thomas, and the German folk-song, "Stille Nacht. Hellige Nacht." Tom Groff, as aeoempanist, has been In this country but three months. The support he gave the singer was always sympathetic, with an impeccable technique. He added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Sx'hu-mann-Heink graciously included him In the applause at the conclusion of the difficult "Der Erlkönig."

CHURCH XOTLS.

"Ach, such a lovely audience!" exclaimed Madame Schumann-Hoink when seen in her dressing room following the concert.

"Did they like it? Were they'

satisfied ?" she asked, turning from one to another of a small group of visitors with an eagerness that might have characterized a singer who had just made her debut. In answer one of the men of tho group grasped her hand reverently and exclaimed: "Madame, when we hear you sing a.s you sang tonight we cannot but believe in a future life, for surely God would not want to lose such a voice as yours." Schumann-Heink bowed her head and the ever-ready tears filled her eyes as she replied: "It is good to hear you say that. Thank you. Tell them all," and again she smiled her gracious smile and indicated the audience with a sweep of her hand, "tell them all I thank them" As she left the theater a crowd had gathered about her machine; she paused and bowed a friendly goodnight to them all. The audience which greeted her was, In fact, the largest which has ever been seated in the Oliver Opera house for an artistic event. Every seat in the house was taken, 95 per cent of the seit sale having been by mail order. Two hundred seats wero sold .on the Ftage, the total number in the house being between 1,400 and 1,500. South Bend is indebted to the management of Frederic Jngersoll and W. Preston Macllenry for the return of Schumann-Heink to South Bend, and they are deserving of great credit for their effort to increase the musical opportunities of the city.
