help but be struck by his mag nificent physique and ease of manner For the moment I was disappointed when I saw that his first selection was Where eer you walk for it has been over- sung and not always But when he sang of SightTotal Eclipse Jon came into his own We descended to the depths with the man who had in his past greatness loved the sun and all it shone upon The singer took us With him into the total eclipse To me any rate there was a queer panicky feel ing that darkness was closing down upon me Can a singers art do Then that beautiful instru ment the harp made its appear ance and to play it there came from the wings a young girl like a fairy princess She was so de lightfully young and delight fully pretty that a pleased smile came over every face of the au dience Then she played and her mastery of a difficult instru ment became apparent I had been reading up a bit about the harp that might lis ten more intelligently and the fact that light and shade piano there was gaiety here and ling feet and the two little French folk songs were admir ably adapted to the harp generously re sponded to the demand for and ready to predict a great future for this young -i- I In his last group of songs and in his encores for he like Don Hossack was recalled again and again Jon display ed even more versatility Archie and In discussing the program wished that he had sung more operatic numbers for his voice to us was suit ed to that phase of Jon has the physique to withstand the gruelling work that opera demands from in terpreters and he also from what we saw can act We shall hope that when he appears again on the last concert of the present series he will let us hear more of this vital a sing ers Id like to say a word about the accompanist John We think that he will

disagreement between us and our car we were unable to be present but those who met the artists socially said they were as delightful off the stage as on stage and forte had to be produced by corning part of the singer We the fingers and not by the pedals made me realize that a tremen dous amount of physical energy must go to its conquering Her numbers the two Largos and the Aria and gave great scope to her virtuosity and show ed how much diversity of tone can be produced by one who knows the instrument Jon Vickers next two groups of songs English and French brought out another side the lighter side of his voice Humor sweetness nuances of light and shade made these selections de lightful There Is something about these French chansons that capture the imagination Hilda and I even managed to follow them a little although my French is rusty But one could follow them by both the facial and vocal expression which this singer possesses in no small manner Then came Donna with a very
