A1 Smith's Singing
f Makes "Hit" In N. Y.
I
Sings On Benefit Program
New Work Admit Much
Applause.
In
iew lorK.- l he music cn.ics were
in a lather of laudation over the de
but of a promising new sinffer Mr.
Alfred K. Smith of the brown derby
Smiths.
Mr. Smith Kave his siinjfinj? voice
the ai" for the tir?i time publicly
recenWy at th;1 weekly eommuniity
sintf. a benefit affair. He said his
participation was "just a happy
thoupht that dawned on me."
"II Sipnor Alfredo Smeet," as one
critic in a swoon of excitment called
him, sailed right up to a challenging
vote without shifting gears, and his
voice rose above those of the COO
others who had joined in the chorus.
The critics thought it was great.
Even headline writers became ecstatic
and called him ''the happy warbler."
One customer said:
"He took that D like he took Mas
sachusetts in 1928."
Signor Smith presented a limited
repertoire from some of the early
music hall composers. His "wow"i
number which spilled the critics out
of their seats was "The Sidewalks of
New York." He seemed to put every
thing he had into it. As 'the reporter
for the times put it.
"The Nightingale of Oliver Street"
threw into his work all he had in
voice, spirit and body especially the
last mentioned. He kept time
with his head and his hands. . . When
he wanted volume he ben over, stoop
ed down and then jumped like a cheer
leader. It was a good idea. He got
volume.
An unfortunate phase of the af
fair was the failur,. of the critics to
agree on the range of 'the artist's
voic The Times called him a
promising tenor, The Herald-In
bune referred to him as the "brown
derby baritone J" Critics on other
papers had not quite mad,, up 'their
minds.
"When the "Sidewalks'' was over,
hignor Mimn nuxlestiv moved as
t:u:ugh to call it a day, but the ap
plause, was uproarious; Cries for
"Kncore!" filled, 'the air, no end. The
tenore leggiero, with artistic appre
ciation, of the needs of the occasion,
returned and launched into a num
ber beginning:
"Oh. the night that 1 struck New
Yawk
"I went out for a quiet walk" . . .
His auditors were puzzled. Here
was a new Al Smith. Maybe it was
"Alfredo Smeet." They wer" un
familiar with the song. But they
recognized it qulckeiy enough when
he reached the chorus with its:
"The Bowery, the Bowery" , . .
Before 'the recital was over, Mr.
Smith had sung the "Sidewalks"
thi ice, and as hP depatred amid such
"bravos" as Caruso might have en
vied, he grinned happily, and said:
"I'm glad you liked it."
"What are you studying. John?"
asked Aunt Maria.
"Economies."-
"I don't see no use in studying that
stuff. If it's forced on you, you gotta
practic,. it."
