SCOTTI'S VOICE AND ACTING CHARM Operatic Favorite Opens Philhar monic Concerts at Simp son Auditorium MME. DE PASQUALI SCORES Newcomer to Los Angeles Audi ences Shares Triumph with Great Tenor Florence Bosard Lawrence Scotti and do Pasquall opened the Phllharmonlo course concorts last night In Simpson auditorium. These two singers, heard here for the llrst time in concert, attracted an audience winch crowded every inch of available I pace and proved a constant and gen uine delight to every listener. Scotti, already a favorite from hia operatic appearances, coniined hia ilnglng en tirely to famous arias, and from the familiar find popular Prologue from Pagllacoi to the classics from Mozart the singer received plaudits of a most enthusiastic character. It is not always the greatest voice ■which makei the greatest singer, and Blgnor Bcottl utilizes an exquisite art and a masterly reading of every song to enhance hy many degrees tlie pow ers of his voice. This instrument, with its many beautiful tones, Is guided by ;i marvelous breatli control, which en able* him to achieve almost any do- Bired effect with his voice. lie tang, besides the Leoncavallo number, tin: I'uvatine from Fau.st, two Mozart selections, and with Madame de Pnsquuli a duet from Giovanni, and one from the Barber of Seville. In these latter numbers the still of the composers found able expostiion In the artistry of the singers. After the "Fin C'han del vino," by Mozart, the singer gave tho song from FalstaS, beginning "When I was a page," and this humorous gem gave .such delight that It was repeated three times before the demands of the au dience, charmed with the art and laughing at the comedy of song and singer, could be satisfied. Madame Bernlce de Pasquall Is a newcomer to Los Angeles audionces and opened her concert with tho fa mous Polonaise from Mignon. This, a favorite with coloratura singers, vealed a good range, but with neither the limpidity nor the brilliancy which N (.. ho desired in its rendition. It is refreshing, however, to find a singer who leaves, apparently of her own vo lition, the limited field of colorature work for the more expressive aongs, and in her group of three numbers hy Tolsti, Brahms and Dell Acqua, Madame Pasquall displayed a spirit and thoughtfulness which is more de lightful to the ear than many etacatto trills and glissandos of the operatic coloratura Hinder. In the duets Madame Pasquall shared equally with Scotti In presenting these musical miniatures, each one a gem of composition and harmonic effective ness singing them with admirable simplicity of manner and great beauty of method. Encores followed every appearance of tbp.se artists, and tho evening was a brilliant success and a most auspi cious augury of many delightful mu sical events which will follow this " .Mrs. Leonora Daily-Pier, a local ac companist, was at tho piano and fur nisbed a smooth and intelligent ac companiment tO thO VOtces.
