DE GOGORZA STILL
PEERLESS SINGER
Marvelous Vocalist Thrills
Audience With Masterly
Interpretations
From the smooth, melodic Bow of J
Mozart to the staccato sarcasm off
Berlioz is a far cry, but yesterday al
the Scottish Rite auditorium it was j
compassed by the peerless Emilio de !
Gogorza.
He seems, more than ever, to oc- j
cupy a solitary niche the hearts!

thrills the musically uneducated with j
the Singular purity and warmth of i

has taken on new virility and reso- j
nance since his last visit here.
lie is the delight and despair of the
educated sin are r, the vocal teacher, the
violin student They lean forward
and stop breathing as his Indescrib
able phrasing in the softer passages
of "I.v Partida" floats from the stage.
In the i'trst group of songs De Go
gorza revealed his mastery of bel
canto in the Mozart "Serenade." Fol
lowing immediately came the Gluek
recitative and aria from "Iphigenie, en
Tauride." in which the barytone dis
played to good advantage his great
gift of dramatic expression—possibly
more than a gift, it comes from the
blending of a musicianly brain and a
Latin temperament. Even in Gogorza's
big moments there still seemed to be
a reserve force of emotional power at
his eom.'ind.
SCHI'M \ >>'S "WBDMI'Mi" THIIII.I.S
The "Feldeinsamkelt" of Brahms
proved uninteresting. "Eockruf" was
exquisitely phrased and gave ample
evidence of the singer's perfect
breatli control. We had the first
thrill of the afternoon in Schumann's
"Wldmung," and forced the singer to
repeat lt.
With Hue's ".T'ai pleure en reve"
Gogorza reached his zenith of pure
tone production; into this saddest of
melodies he dropped a sincere cry of
pain.
Blithely he gave us the quaint in
tervals of the "Mandoline" of De
bussy, a song full of difficult technical
passages, but poured forth with any
effort there may have been concealed
by consummate artistry. Here again
th" Gogorza phrasing was pre-emi
nent.
The version of "Sally in Our Alley"
was an unfamiliar one, and betrayed
a slight lack of resonance in the
upper tones. Gogorza seemed a bit
nervous in the beginning of "The
Lmt Chord." but built up a tremen
dous climax in the closing phrases
and fairly shook the seats with the
thrill of his upper "G." He sang
Tour's "Mother of Mine" as an encore.
••!,\ 1' VHTin t" A MASTEHI'IEt IB
Gogorza was not at his best in the
negro folksong, "TJHhcle Borne." The
meaning of the lyric was clouded in
his somewhat Indistinct enunciation.
But the Partida" of Alvarez was
rendered with such mastery of inter
pretation that it is to be regretted
that more of the song literature of
sunny Andalusia was not represented
on the program.
Gogorza gave a rare bit of char
acterization in the Berlioz serenade of
Mephistopheles—one heard, in fancy,
the dry crackling of infernal fires
intoned in the sarcastic bark of his
cloven hoofed majesty.
Henri Gilles, the assisting artist,
said to be only 20 years of age. han
dled the accompaniments in capable
fashion. '
Gogorza's second concert will he

THE problem of the proper care

idly taking the place in the
individual mind and in public dis
cussions that H deserves, and that
is gratifying. Like many very
important and consequently intri

the beard has been shunned by .a
thoughtless public for the more
frivolous things. Much is seen In
the public press and on billboards
of the care of the hair, but little
of the care of the whiskers at
night. Yet contrast their relative
place in the progress of the world.

thereby breaking local diving records,
which iieretofore had been 50 feet.
