ALDA DELIGHTS AT FINAL CONCERT Enthusiasm of Audience Pleases Soprano Artist at National. ) There is a very personal charm In the singing of Mme. Frances Alda. and so great was the accord between artist and audience at her long recital at tho National Theater yesterday afternoon that the enthusiasm of the latter caused Mme. Alda to say after the concert: "It '?. aJoy to ln r ucn an audl-jnce- This tenth concert of the "Ten Star Series" closes a remarkable series of recitals Iry arthts of the highest rank which T. Arthur Smith has olforcd . whlngton public at a minimum price. The recital of Mme. Alda. so prano artist from the Metropolitan Opera House, assisted by Frank La Forgo, composer-pianist, Is a crowning event to the achievement, which has nad audiences almost to tho capacity number at most of the series. Mme. Airifi h n vaIm Ar .... beauty, whose richness is full of vital warmth and color, and whose shading holds nuances of the finest arL There Is no single artlnce In her singing. Her on is bo unisneo. u seems hut an easy How of true music, beautlfullly dcllv fl. '. but llT,P1e In Its directness. To this Is added the charm of a hcautlful woman whose gracious response to her reception led her to give eight extra numbers, though three of them were repetitions. Of Mme. Alda's songs In EnglUh-noth-ing.was more charming than the quaint Nymphs and Shepherds" of Purcell. although Thayer's "My Laddie" had to be repeatod, as did the attractive La forge song, "I Cume With a Song." Tho soft effects In "Retreat" of La Forge wero truly lovely, and his "Ex pectancy' was addej as an encote. .With an old French song of Phllldor. the French songs of Chaussun "Lea PaplIIons." with its exquisite lightness: the dramatic, graphic "Fantoches" of Debussy, and the Massenet "Ouvre tea yeux bleus" were all given with the tlncst color. "Im Kahne" of Grieg wua all delicacy. In contrast to his big, dra matic "Deln Rath 1st wohl guL" The opera artist was heard In two se lections from Puccini's "Manon Les cauL" They held the true feeling for this master's melodious music, and were rarely Interpreted. Mme. Alda added also "Cuckoo" (Lisa Lehman). "An Open Secret" (Woodman), nnd pirn. Beach's "Years at the Sprlny." Which was sungnpaln alter repeated recalls at the end. of the program. ' Mr. La Fotge Is an exceptionally sym pathetic accompanist. As composer solclsjt he was heard In a Chopinvsque "Romance" of his Own that was most melodious, and Moakownkr "i-'iin. celies." which waa played with admlr- dio execution, jie also gave "Noc turne" (Chopin), "Etude de Concert" (MacPowcll), ondj na encores u "Con cert Etudo" by nrf American named Boothe, the only record of which Mr. La Forge holds In his memory, and ''tho Beethoven E ilat "Minuet."
