gaged in Y. M. C. A. war-work In
Italy, continues to show soldiers in
Italian army camps, American Army
customs in cheering and singing rous
ing choruses "en masse."
Mr. Street has just compiled and ar
ranged for use in army camps in Italy,
a new volume of patriotic songs. It
is skillfully edited, and is one of the
first music books of its kind published
in Italy. It is dedicated to "the sol
diers of Italy," and contains, in addi
tion to many splendid Italian National
and patriotic songs, our own loved
American National song, the "Star
Spangled Banner," with words in
Italian.
General Segato, leader of the North
ern Italian Army, sent Mr. Street a
cordial letter of commendation for the
valuable assistance he has given in
helping the cause of music among the
Italian troops, and has made a per
sonal call on Mr. Street, offering him
anything in his power in the way of
men and materials, to help carry on
the good work.
Mr. Street also had the honor to con
duct a big "sing" in the Commercial
Opera House the most beautiful in
Bologne between the second and third
acts of "Rigoletto." Edouardo Masch
eroni, one of Italy's greatest living
composers, and ranking in merit with
Tosuanini and Campanini, personally
extended the invitation to Mr. Street.
Mr. Mascheroni asked that he be in
structed in the musical direction of the
"Star Spangled Banner."
ROSENBLATT CONCERT FEB. 12.
Josef Rosenblatt, the celebrated New
Tork Hebrew tenor, is giving a series
of concerts throughout the principal
cities of the United States and Canada,
and will be heard in concert at the
Public Auditorium, this city. Wednes
day night, February 12, at 8:30 o'clock.
All accounts credit Cantor Rosen
blatt with being the possessor of a re
markable tenor voice, and his appear
ances in concert have attracted crowd
ed houses.
Public interest in Rosenblatt was
aroused in New Tork following his
singing before an audience which filled
the big Hippodrome one Sunday night
last Spring. Following this came an
offer of $1000 a night for the cantor to
sing in several performances in Chi
cago with the Chicago Grand Opera
Company. This offer was refused by
Mr. Rosenblatt because it did not seem
compatible with his religious position
as cantor of one of the largest ortho
dox synagogues in America. But appa
rently he need in no way regret notl
having an operatic career, for the rea
son that the concert stage offers him
a field in which to display his rare
vocal gifts to superior advantage.
The programme which Mr. Rosen
blatt is to sing in this city is consid
ered to be just the sort to test his
voice in all kinds of singing. One of
the features most commented on by
singers is the extraordinary power of
trilling of which his voice is capable.
"Rosenblatt turns handsprings of colo
ratura that Galli-Curci or Barrientos
might envy." said the New Tork Trib
une. Wednesday night's programme: "II
mio bel foco" (Benedetto Marcello,
1686-1739); aria, "Pearl Fishers" (Bi
zet): "Ov Horachmin," "Omar Rabbi
Klosor" (Josef Rosenblatt): "Elegie"
(Massenet); "Aur dem Pripichuk"
(folksong); "Eili Eili" (Arr. by Rosen
blatt). Piano solos: "O Columbine" (Leonca
vallo); "Questa O Quella" (Verdi);
"The Eternal Lamp" (Medvedief f ) ;
"Lullaby" (Gretchaninof f ) ; "Good-Bye"
(Tosti).

organ of the Columbia Theater, where
he was engaged more than three years
previous to his enlistment in the Army.

An interesting and dif f icult-to-ren-der
number to be heard at the compli
mentary students' concert, to be given
by Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed In the Hei
lig Theater early in April, will be the
"Indian Bell Song" from "Lakme," sung
by Mrs. Ray M. Lansworth, who has a
delightfully clear coloratura soprano
voice, peculiarly adapted to this intri
cate aria. Mrs. Lansworth made a suc
cessful recital debut last season before

Paul Petri, dramatic tenor, and Mrs.
Lillian Jeffreys Petri, pianist, gave a
rare music treat to the members of the
Monday Musical Club last Monday aft
ernoon, in the Hotel Portland. Their
joint programme was a long, enjoyable,
difficult-to-render series of musical at
tractions one which must have cost
them both much preparation, memoriz
ing and rehearsal. It was cordially ap
preciated. Mr. Petri sang, with fine
musical taste and expression, four de
lightful old Italian arias, written by
Bononcinl, Marcello, Caldara and Palsl
ello. Mr. Petri excels in gifts of thrill
ing dramatic expression, and uses facial
action, mental concept, no gestures, and
vocal interpretation. For instance, he
acted and sang in the rendition of the
song "The Americans Come" (Fay
Foster). He closed his eyes In the
singing of the part of the blind French
father, listening to the tramp, tramp, of
newly-arrived American troops, and in
picturing the little boy, Mr. Petri
looked his audience appealingly in the
face. It was an exceedingly clever
bit of vocal work. Airs. Petri played
with brilliant effect piano solos by
Handel, Schumann, Raff. Grieg, Mac
Dowell, etc., and in addition gave, in
a pleasant, informal, conversational
manner, explanations of much of the
music presented, with short sketches
of the composers and the times in
which they lived. In fact, much of the
music success won at this recital is
due to Mrs. Petri's hard work.
