Bos, , eo- companlst, , ' ' Mill Hempel'i first appearanoe In ' Greensboro several years ago was v one ot the moat remarkable musical triumphs the city' has ever known. ' She oame back two years ego and at the North Carolina college again. . aroused the enthusiasm of her hear-H ars with the, completeness of her 'program, the graolousness of her . atage presence and the exquisite quality of her ooloratura soprano voice. -. , . v. - -. Last night It was much like a singer coming to her )iome again. Many were present who had heard her before and they welcomed her as an ' old friend. Bhe seemed to feel the warmth-of their greeting and she gave them again the songs they wanted, to hear. Especially was she gracious with her encores and again and again she sang the songs ahe had sunn; here, before, repeating them by request but always giving to them them the freshness and the feeling that are essentially hers. It was more, than a satisfying concert; It was one of unusual beauty. Thls'tlmfl Miss Hempl chose to present the program, of Mile; Jenny Llnd as sung by herself. It was dls tlnctly a Jenny Llnd night. Miss Hempel wore the costume aha ap peared In at the historical centennial concert In 1920, and Mr. Bos and Mr. Frltae were In hiatorioal costume. She had with her, strung serosa the top of the stage, a replica of the ban ner used on Miss Linda visit "to America, with the words, "Weloorde Sweet Warbler." The program, furthermore, Included Taubert's "Bird Song," composed fx pressly for Miss Llnd, and the stirring and majestlo mualo of Julius Bene dict's eompbsltlon of "Bayard Tayior, Jr.'s "Greeting to America," the prise song sung by Miss Llnd at "ler first conceit in America. Both were beau tifully sung by Miss Hempal. But for the audience last night there was nomoment like that at the opening of the second part of the . FOR SALE - Lovers of fine.

The grand aria dl bravura, "Carnival of Venice," from "The Brides of Venice," with flute obligate was exquisitely sung and again and again they called her back. Bhe re sponded with "By -i the Waters of Mlnnetonka." by requeet, and the familiar song was like a gracious gift. Again, they called her back and again she gave' another old friend, "The Night Wind." She was at home then and the audience would not let her go. For the third encore. Miss Hempel aang "Dixie." There are times when It 1 doubtful whether sny sollst can sing that song, . but ' Miss Hempel cannot be doubted. She can )tng "Dixie." and she .did It last night, with the full sweep of feeling In the song, with Just the right amount of Art and expnsslon and with her own distinctive touch.' The conoert opened with Handel's "Oh I Had I Jubal's byre" and Mozart's "Battl, battl, 6 bel Masetto," from Don Giovanni. "Ave Maria" followed and another Schubert (elec tion, "The Trout," with tile old Eng lish "I'd Be a Butterfly" as an encore. Miss Hempel took the piano herself .for "The Herdsman's Bong." the famous echo song which ' she has given before In Greensboro. Bhe was superb here, and the audience was so onthuslaatlo that ahe gave them 'The La at Rose of Bummer." Mendelssohn's "On Wings" came just before the two Llnd songs. And then for the finale she took the tarnished "Home.Bweet Home," superbly accom panied here by Mr. Bos, and lifted the almost worn alsb ita rightful posi tion. It was supposed to be the end. but the audience made no move. She cams back, and thia time with an other of her best known songs, "The Blue Danube Walts." Mr. Frltse played Boehm'a "An dante Pastoral" and Beethoven's familiar "Mfnuet," played them with line feeling and with distinctive ex pression. Mr. Bos, himself familiar to Greensboro, played two Chopin se lections, "Romance" and the- waits In a fiat. His touch was, aa always, beautiful; and if there la a better ac companist In the country he does not coma to Greensboro. The concert was partly spoiled, as every concert In the' city Is now, by the lata arrival of many of the audience. jiiiig V HITS THE SPOT ) V SAFE ABSOLUTELY 5 c AT FOUNTAINS 10c' 25c AND 50c yy I ST.
