AMUSEMENTS Margaret Romaine Pleases at the Salt Lake 1 f ARGARET ROMAINE. brilliant and A gifted soprano, acclaimed by thousands thou-sands of Utah music lovers before she wnt to New York to achieve fame in grand opera circles, added much to her local standing last night, when she sang at the Salt Lake theater for the Musical Arts society the first, big program that she has given since her return home for a visit. Miss Romaine amply justified all praise bestowed upon her by the musical critics of the nation's metropolis, demons'. rating a voice of great b.-auty, power and clarity, clar-ity, and a style and technique that gave evidence of the artist's ability t profit by her opportunities. Two dramatic arias in French and Italian and two . groups of selected songs of nvrit gave 1 Miss Romaine a wide field for the display dis-play of her remarkable talent. And the reception accorded her by an audience that almost filled the theater was one to j make glad the heart of any artist. Spon- taneous, generous and hearty appiause ; was the rule of the evening and the singer wan gracious in responding to numerous nu-merous encores. Although pleasing: in every one of her e.-Ieetions, Miss Romaine is primarily an opera singer, blessed with a temperament that seems essentially dramatic, a capacity ca-pacity to feel and Interpret with Intensity. In-tensity. She opened with the ever-favorite Jewel pong from Oounod's "Faust." giving the classic an excellent rendition, but was even better in the Puccini "Vici d'Arte," from "La Topca." In this there was a depth of feeling and an artistry that made one long to see her interpretation interpreta-tion of the "lead" throughout the great composition. Miss Romaine had able support for her program with Charles Shepherd at the piano, p-laying her accompaniments throughout with fine expression and also playing the accompaniments for Albert Shepherd, violinist, whose solos brought hea rty encores, not forgetting the enthusiasm en-thusiasm with which the "Waters Mtnne-tonka" Mtnne-tonka" OLleurance) as sung by Miss Romaine Ro-maine with the violin obiigato was received. re-ceived. Mr. Shepherd's first violin number was the Adagio from Max Brusch's AT i nor concerto. It was handled with fine tone, pleasing expression and good insight. A hearty encore brought "La Precieuse'" (Couperin-Kreisler) and later in the program pro-gram Mr. Shepherd played Faure's beautiful beau-tiful "Claire de Lune," Debussy's melodic me-lodic "En Bateau." and the brilliant "Canzoneta" by D'Ambrosie. Of Miss Romaine's English songs, London Lon-don Ronald's "Morning," seemed the most artistic, although she caught the fancy of the audience by Liza Lehman's exquisite "Cuckoo" and by the appropriateness appropri-ateness and taste of her final encore, after she had sung "Quando Me'n Vo" from La Boheme. While the applause was stiil surging she said: "Dear friends, to the home of Charley Shepherd this morning morn-ing came a little baby girl. 1 think I should sing him this little ballad," and then she sang with much beauty of expression ex-pression Liza Lehman's "Only a Baby Small," and received more cheers. At the conclusion of the program hundreds hun-dreds of Miss Romaine's friends went j "back stage" to extend their congratula- i tions to her, to Charles and Albert I Shepherd and to Manager George D. Py- : per and the other officials of the Musical Arts society for the genuine musical treat afforded. William Famum Plays Role of Poor Man in Love With Rich Woman ill Broadway Picture.
