MIME MATZENHUER DECLARED WONDERFUE “There Is No Greater Sing er,” Says Madame McGrew. THREE ARTISTS COMING La Forge and Carver Also Said To Be Delightful. “There isn’t any bigger singer either in opera or on the concert stage than Madame Matzenauer,” said Madame Rose McGrew, head of the vocal de partment of the University school of music, of the artist who will appear in concert in Villard hall Saturday evening April 16. “She was already famous at the time of her coming to the United States and since that time she has de veloped wonderfully.” “When I first heard of Madame Mat zenauer, in Germany, she was well known as a contralto. It was in the United States that her soprano voice was discovered,” Madame McGrew contin ued. “This ability to sing in either so prano or contralto is quite a remarkable thing. She sings all over the piano key board.” The program to be given in Eugene brings out the versatility of the voice of the great singer. “IOrlking,” by Helm bert, is a soprano song of great range. “Spring Night,” by Schumann, is also for soprano and yet on the same pro gram is found the aria from “Le Proph ete” which is one of the greatest of con tralto numbers. Dramatic and concert qualities are a1 happily mingled in her singing as are the ranges of her voice. Her dramatic num bers such ns “Before the Crucifix,” La Forge, and the “Erlldng,” are sung in a way long to be remembered. “Den ver went wild over Madame Matzen aucr’s rendition of “Before the Cruci fix.” said Madame McGrew, who was in that city at the time. “It was one of the most dramatic things ever sung there. People talked about it for a year or more.” Lighter songs are sung equally well according to Madame McGrew. Her up per tones are for the most part sung lightly and for that reason carry beau tifully. Then when she delivers the stronger parts they are all the more telling because they are fresh. “Anything that may be said in praise of Madame Matzenauer will not lie an exaggeration.” Madame McGrew said. “She will certainly make good even the wildest boast of her powers.” Frank La Forge, the accompanist for the concert, is spoken of as follows j by the Oregon Journal; i “Mr. La Forge is without doubt America’s best - known composer-pian ist. Ilis songs arc used by many great . artists on their concert programs.” Charles Sarver, American basso, who will assist the Madame in her concert o!no receives mention by the Journal. “Mr. Carver will be remembered by local concert goers as the young giant whose beautiful basso so delighted those who attended Mine. Schumann-Heink’s con cert at the Heilig several seasonsingo.” Carver will sing the aria from “The Mftgic Flute” which in the original is the lowest aria ever written. Tickets for the Matzenauer concert are being sold by members of the Ore gon Music Council. A reduction of fifty cents on tickets lias been made for students as in the case of the Althouse concert. This puts the student price nt $1.00. Seats may be reserved for 25 cents additional. WOMEN TRUE OPTIMISTS Umbrellas Left By Fair Owners, De spite Showers.
