COLORED CONTRALTO SOLOIST SCORES WITH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 4.—Marian Anderson, a twenty-two year old col ored girl, of this city, recently scored a heavy hit as contralto soloist with the Philarmonic Society, one of Amer ica’s leading orchestras. The young artist, who is at present studying with Ouiseppe Boghettl, rose to the occas ion of her opportunity, and, with ifiu sicianly sensibility and a voice of qual ity far above (he average, rendered a number of outstanding selections. First, she offered "O Mio Fernando,” from Donizetti’s “Favorite.” Then she i sang two Negro spirituals, “My Lord, What a Mornin’,” and “Heav’n, Hcav’n.” Delivering the Donizetti air with telling fervor and dramatic em phasis, she passed to the more con genial field of the racial songs in which she was thoroughly at home. These native ballads she gave in a way that reached and stirred the hearts oi all who heard her luscious and reso nant voice, with a driving power ol art and temperament behind it. Tht applause, when she finished, came Ukt a sudden blast of gun-fire, and con tinued through so many recalls that li seemed as if a rule must be broken ant an encore granted.
