Among the hundreds and more of sopranos singing in this country it is difficult to imagine that there should be any difficulty in finding any number of sopranos who could fill the require ments necessary for a sololBt appear ing with an orchestra, yet such is the case. Mr. Ileighton, manager of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, which Is to appear here on May 25, discovered this fact when trying out applicants, and while he heard many beautiful voices, he nlBo discovered a great lack of experience, a quality which Is so essential In a singer about to make a tour of eight weeks with an orchestra, during which time the soloist Is not only called upon to sing concert arias, but also the various oratorios. Mr. Helghton finally found such a soprano in the person of Miss Leonora Allen, a young American art - 1st atpresent making Chicago her headquarters' whilefilllng concert ell- MISS LEONORA ALLEN Who-will appear-with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, May 25. gagements. Miss Allen has had con siderable experience In both the con cert, operatic and oratorio fiejd. One of her most important and recent en gagements was with the Apollo Club of Chicago in their concert of Febru--axy23d,Yhen they gave Elgar's new work, "The "Music Maker," and Dvorak's "Stabat Mater." The other artists assisting were Miss Mildred Potter, contralto; George Harris, Jr., tenor, and Gustav llolmquist, baritone, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra fur nishing the accompaniment. Eric Delamarter, critic for the Inter-Ocean, writes of Miss Allen's work as follows: "Miss Allen was practically a debu- tante in these cljrcles. Her -tone Is of beautiful timbre, pure and clear. Her phrasing and her technical feats gen erally, proved. reaLsklll. Her success addB another soprano of great promise to a band none too numerous." Maurice Rosonfeld, In the Examiner, says, In part: "Leonora Allen, the so prano, made a very successful debut with the Apollo Club. Sho has a high soprano of. flno quality and sang her music with distinction." BASEBALL LEAGUE. All departments wishing to be rep. resented in the Interdepartment Base ball League are requested to have their representative confer with Coach Stlehm at once. Soccer Men.
