Tfew-hy makers of Vicki VapoIub Tot the fact ia that Eddy'a success was nothing lass than a sensation From tha moment ha rushed on the stags for hia first number until two hours later ha rushed off after his last encore there was not a wasted minute In addition to a long and heavy program he must have sung a dozen encores and alwaya in response to a persistent demand for mors It looked for a while as though tha tights would have to he turned out on the crowd to get them to go home The empty seala consisted a real tragedy for tha ticket holder who stayed at home missed one of tha moat enjoyable concert programs In many years Eddy combines a good voice well trained and in perfect control with most extraordinary personality Hia success ia due quite aa much to the one aa to the other Ha la an absolute dynamo of activity and ha simply radiates good nature and good health He startles hia audience first with hia breath-taking appearance and then ha captivates them with hia really fine singing and acting and generosity His voice la a baritone of excellent range and flexibility not particularly rich or colorful but very true and usable Hia diction ia natural nnd unstudied and hia breath-con tcnl la phcnominal amounting to iittla less than sheer exhibitionism at times Tha program that Eddy elected to sing could hardly have been Improved upon ell thing considered There were things in It to fit every taste and many things In It and in hia list of encores to fit the peculiar buoyancy of hia own manner and spirit Opera waa represented and German Under and the classic art songs but a generous intermixture of rouaing descriptive narrative aonge made the evening a thoroughly enjoyable one for every one Out of twenty-five aonga it is thankless task to attempt to select two or three for special mention Theodora Paxeon waa at the piano and hia feat of playing the entire evening through without a note before him was nothing less than a tour da force Hia freedom from music made it possible for him to give the closest attention to the slnger'a needs and this ha did with meticulous rate He contributed group of three piano numbers tn the program and ha was compelled lo comply witi a demand for several encores He la a versatile musician exhibiting a capacity for a wide range of piano music Thesa young musicians eonatitute a team tnat should have a very
