John McCormack Proves Hfm?
selt Wonderful Sinter WRe-

A
John McCortnackv the brilUant Jria
tenor, gave the music lovers of tfce-
Capital a senuine treat yesterday alters.
noon at ther Columbia Theater
The concert was the moat notable it
the season, and. according: to critical
the large and fashlonablo audience, Tt
was as Brilliant a success aa any qmi
Bicat cveni nerc in many monins. .
Mr. McCormack had never appears
here before, except in grand opera. "beer
his welt-deserved reputation drew a
tremendous crowd to the theater. Ever?
seat was taken, and dozens stood
throughout the concert in tbe .space
near the doors.
All who attended were amply re
warded, for tbe great artist's tWk,
couldn't' have been better. The meat
pleasing thing about Mr.- McCorraacJCft
singing, next to the marvelous quality
of the voice itself. Is the perfect ease
and naturalness with which he dtsytaya
his powers. 4
Is Tral-f-Great Siagec
Nothing Is forced; nothing Is artificial:
the: tones flow as sweetly as from &
gan. very quaUficatlon- of the trutj'
'great singer is there. His voice has
volume that Is exactly proportioned Jo
lts sweetness" and evenness.' and: th'q
singer, 'moreover; has a"stage present
and an utter absence of mannerlsni
that makes It a' positive delight to he
him. j-
To hear Mr. McCormack shir is tt
best argument In the worjd in favor of
English grand opera. "His enunclatfoc
Is a delight, and Jt is idle- to say thai
this attribute of his slnglnr does nt
enhance the natural appeal of his votos
Yesterday's progrim opened wih
Mozart aria. "Un'aura Amorosa," fol
lowed by a group of three songs, Ksru
aid's "Down In the Forest," TlDton'i
"A, Bph-it Flower," and Tours' "Mothe
