Caruso and a packed Auditorium with row after row of standees just like the Metropolitan Opera house itself upon gala occasions . when the great tenor sings this nas the state of affairs on Tuesday , evening,' when the world's most lamous tenor, Enrico Carusot ap peared in Omaha in concert, assisted by Alice Miriam, soprano, and , Albert .'. essel, violinist, under the management of he Metropolitan ' Musical bureau and the local aus pices of the Mickel Brothers com- Pan'- . ... The great Municipal auditorium was taxed to capacity for this event, since the opportunity of hearing Caruso in concert is not offered to this community often, although he has appf - d here before in opera, , several years ago. It seemed as if all Omaha was there, and .a generous sprinkling of the countrymen of the great Ital ian was noted in the vast audience. Everyone was intent upon hearing every note of the interesting pro gram, and the resultant applause was so general and enthuisastic as to be a marked tribute to the artists. Caruso is essentially an operatic tenor. He is dramatic in the Jiigl est degree and he excels in the big broad strokes which maki th scng stand forth with color and life and give force to his interpretations. The wide range of his voice with ; continuous beauty from the full low tones to the wonderful luscious high ones, its marvelous power and . liriMianrv. anil his amnle tech nical equipment which enables him to accomplish the most difficult feats , wth ease and skill, all gave the greatest delight to the audience, which listened breathlessly, only to ni'ret (trU lntt tumnltiimia snntaltciv : Three operatic arias were the scheduled numbers for Caruso's sharc of the program. These were ;"Che Gelida Manilla," a famous aria from the first act of "La Bohenie," by Puccini, "Una Furtiva Lagrima," Irom "L'Elisir d'Amore," by Don izetti, and the popular "Vesta La Giubba," better known as Canio's "Lament" from Pagliacci by Leon- rallo.

J i unlit jaBiiiiia, ninvil iiii pi the mood of this famous aria vividly. Some of the finest work of the eve ning was in the aria from "Pagliacci," in which Caruso gave a powerful im personation of the desperate Canio . without the aid of stage accessories. Miss Alice Miriam, soprano, pre sented two popular arias, "Depuis le Jour," from "Louise" by Charpen lier. and "Un Bel Di " from Madam Butterfly by. Puccini, and a group of three most interesting modern songs. Her voice has sf beautiful quality in the high , tones, but does not rarry in the lower registers, and does not sing with any freedom or co-ordinated artistry. Her best work was done in the aria from "Madam Butterfly," in which her vocal riches were Riven excellent opportunity.
