BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. Quiet, delicately fashioned music that appealed to and pleased a large, highly appreciative audience. A con-, cert also in which the principal music delights were pure, soulful, sentimen tal songs and .love songs, exquisitely sung. These phrases describe the concert given last night at the Heilig Theater by Madame Julia Culp, soprano, assist ed by Coenraad V. Bos, pianist and piano accompanist, and almost co-star. Both artists won cordial receptions, and Madame Culp was recalled more than one dozen times. Madame Culp has one of those rare mezzo-soprano voices of velvety smoothness, eminently suited to the quiet, delightful singing of ballads and home songs. It is not a voice with which to stir an audience to riot ous enthusiasm, a voice to make the theater echo again with a war song, or "Cry of the Valkyrie," or "Marseil laise.'' Madame Culp's succes. was won last night by her careful selec tion of quiet songs suited to her charming style of singing. It is the most difficult of all vocal art -as music students know, often to their great astonishment to cast a spell over a big audience and hush it enough to make it listen willingly to songs that appeal to the mind, the intellect. t Breathing. Art Mastered. It is only a skilled singer who can keep quiet, and keep her voice steady to the end of a quiet song. Somehow on those occasions one's nerves begin to show signs of distress, to the great detriment of the song. The wave sounds become agitated enough to cause the creation of a tremolo. Now, here Is where Madame Culp is victor. She is a collected young wom an, who can summon feminine emotion to her aid and yet pass the ordeal without the suggestion of vocal dis tress. She has a most amazing mas tery of breathing, also phrase making. The German song, Schubert's "Sel Mir Gegrusst," is a fervent, beautiful pre sentation of sentiment. and at its hushed end came Madame Culp's deli cious smile, and dimple. The greatest triumphs of the entire concert came with the singing of Schubert's "Ave Maria," and two spir itual English songs. "Come Again, Sweet Love," and "Passing By." Here the pure, exalted thought of a teloved one was exquisite in quality, andr will be part of the most enjoyable memories of an entire music season. Another victory was won In the splendid rendition of Earl Cranston Sharp's "Japanese Death Song." with a fine pianissimo finish. Mr. Sharp was born at Salem. Or., was recently in the music business in this city, makes his home with Mrs. Sharp in San Francisco, and is now, with her, on a concert tour In Idaho. Extra Nambeta Given. Madame Culp's extra numbers were: "Long. Long Ago" (Home), and '"I've Been Roaming" (Home). Mr. Bos is an Incomparable pianist. He is one of the greatest accompanists In the world. His keyboard work lives ever In snimmer ana gieam oi : it.- light. His work really dazzles by its masterfulness. As a soloist he is also a star. His Mozart "Sonata in C Major" was faultless. and his delivery of Beethoven's "To Elose" was magnifi cent. Mr. Bos' extra numbers are: "Romania" ((Schumann), and "Waltz In C flat Major" (Chopin). The concert was under the direction of Steers & Coman. chromlte, platinum, coal, borax, mer cury, zinc and possibly diamonds as other products of the -mines to be found in Curry County. The publication says: "It is deserving of mention that south and west of Curry County the cretaceous conglomerate has been found to be gold bearing, and in some places it has been proved to be quite rich." Of the copper deposits in the county the publication declares that it is un likely they can ever be worked profit ably on anything but a comparatively small scale. Of iron It says: "The absence" of detrimental ele ments, the apparently large size of the ore body, and the comparative ease with which it could be mined combine to make this deposit well worth a careful investigation and 6f the ex ploitation if transportation difficulties can be overcome." Of the possibility of diamonds being found in Curry County the magazine says: "In Curry County the geologic condi tions are Identical with those existing in the diamond localities of Northern California and their possible presence should always be borne in mind by placer miners."
