E. JONES, Mus. Dr. Republican Music Critic Richard Crooks, one of America's to foremost concert singers, was presented by the Community Concert association last night at Central High school auditorium. The audience was a large and appreciative one.

Offering program of wide and copious variety, the tenor justined his glowing preliminary notices soon established an agreeable contact with his hearers which continued to the end of a long list. Mr. Crook's voice is golden, and when he sings he displays the 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 grand sweep of voice resonant, and always ringing true to pitch.

But songs of a serener character, those requiring the artistic use of maza voce, and there were many of them, seemed to place the singer on the high plane of the perfect interpreter. The smoothness of the long Handelian phrases, especially "'Where You Brahm's 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 too seldom heard on the concert platform. Three of these were from Parthenope, Floridante and Atlanta.

Another operatic aria was. "Questa quella," the Duke's carefree song from Rigoletto. At the piano was Willard Sektberg, whose accompaniments were probably the best we have heard in this city since his last visit here. The piano parts of the Brahms' songs, are not only extremely difficult, but they require a poet to interpret them, and here Mr. Sektberg fully shared the honors with his principal.

Mr. Sektberg also played Godowsky'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 8 performance of high artistic value.

Now ain't that just exactly what you would expect from a gang of professors? Nothing about football. Didn't mention goin' to dances and throwin' grapefruit at orchestra leaders' or anything that is important. We ought to make the professors do their job over again and get a real definition for a college.
