McCarthy, and Joseph Rosenbluth. Richard Crooks Is Heard in Concert Famous Tenor Pleases Large Audience With Program Of Wide Variety By E. JONES. Mas. Dr.

Republican Music Critic Richard Crooks, one of America's foremost concert singers, was pre sented by the Community Concert association last night at Central Hirn school auditorium. The audience was large and appreciative one. Offering a program of wide and copious variety, the tenor Justified his glowing preliminary notices soon established an agreeable contact. with his hearers which continued to' the end a long list. Mr.

Crook's voice is golden, and when he sings he displays 4he poet's power, by the form of the text, the musician's power by the music's, artistic fitness, and the singer's power, seen in his full sympathy with the subjects, and proved by his progressive style. Some of the selections demanded full throated delivery, notably the Handel songs, Strauss' "Zueignung," Aylward's "Beloved It Is Morn," and Frank La Forge's "Into the Light" and in such, Mr. Crooks showed a grand sweep of voice resonant, and always ringing true to pitch. Btit songs of a serener character, those requiring the artistic use of maza and were many of them, seemed to place the singer on the high plane of the perfect interpreter. fThe smoothness of the long Handelian phrases, especially "Where You walk," Brahm's "Feldelnsamkelt," Strauss' and "Ah.

Moon of My Delight" done, as this singer did them, brought the audience to his feet. It was refreshing to hear songs from the Handelian operas, far tco seldom heard on the concert platform. Three of these were from Parthenope, Florida nte snd Atlanta. Another operatic aria quella," the Duke's carefree song from Rlgoletto. At the piano was Willard Sektberg, whose accompaniments were prooabiy the best we have heard in this city since his last visit here.

The piano parts of the Brahms' songs, are hot onlv extremely difficult, but they re autre a poet to interpret them, and here Mr. Sektberg fully shared ths henors with his principal. Mr. Sektberg also played Godowr sky's "Sarabande," Chopin's sparkling Valse In sharp minor, Dubussy's highly colored "Clair de Lune" and the first movement from the Grieg piano concerto, giving each a perform ance of nign artistic vaiue.
