1Song Recitals by David Bispham.
3For the fifth time this season David Bispham appeared before a metropolitan assemblage Thursday afternoon of last week. The audience that greeted the baritone in Mendelssohn Hall was, as usual, very musical and very cultured, and hence there existed warmth and sympathy between artist and listener. One section of the hall had been reserved for pupils of a young ladies' school, and from the beginning to the end these young misses manifested the keenest enjoyment in Mr. Bispham's offerings. The artist was in good voice and sang with the unfailing intelligence and consummate skill always expected of him.

26Harold O. Smith, Mr. Bispham's official accompanist, played a Chopin ballad, after the group of songs by Brahms.
28Mr. Bispham will give his final recital in Mendelssohn Hall tomorrow afternoon (Thursday, November 21). The program will include songs by Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, Franz, Massenet, Debussy, Hahn and Carl Engel.
30Van Yorx Sang Haile's Songs.
32The recital of Theodore Van Yorx, tenor, at Mendelssohn Hall last Thursday evening was devoted to an exposition of songs of Eugen Haile, a German composer, who played the accompaniments. A large and appreciative audience received the songs with an enthusiasm which they undoubtedly deserved.
34Although chiefly of melancholy mold, and therefore inclined to be a trifle monotonous when grouped as they were on Thursday, Mr. Haile's compositions reflect a positive sincerity and a conscientious endeavor which are patent in every line. These combined with a definite originality of theme will contribute largely to their better acquaintance in this country. Several were redeemed, particularly "Voglein in Birkenbaum," "Herbst" and "Die Werkeluh," the last a remarkably odd and brilliant bit of construction which bore noble witness to Mr. Haile's originality. But in "Teufelslied," the closing number of the program, both singer and composer excelled. It is a weird, uncanny story and the music fits it like a new glove. The audience waited and demanded its repetition.
36The songs were prefaced by explanatory notes, read by Mr. Van Yorx. These dealt more particularly with the periods in Mr. Haile's life during which the songs were written, from the age of fifteen to the present day, and represented concisely the development of his talent.
38Newark University Club Concert.
40The University Club of Newark, N. J., gave a concert at Wallace Hall, Newark, Thursday evening of last week. Charles Norman Granville, baritone; Dora Becker, violin; Flavie Van den Hende, cellist, and Gustav L. Becker, pianist, contributed a delightful program. All the artists are residents of New York. Miss Becker, Mr. Becker and Madame Van den Hende played one movement of Godard's second trio, for piano, violin and cello, and a rondo, by De Beriot. Each of these performers played solos. Mr. Becker's numbers included two of his own compositions, "Along the Brook" and a polonaise in E major. Mr. Granville sang songs by Nevin, White and Walter Damrosch.
42People's Symphony Program.
44The program for the first pair of concerts of the eighth season of the People's Symphony Society, to be given at Cooper Union Hall, Thursday night, November 21, and Carnegie Hall, Friday night, November 22, will be as follows:

58Applause for Hermann Klein's Pupil.
60Florence Fiske, contralto, a pupil of Hermann Klein, has charmed the audiences at the Liberty Theater, New York, by her singing in the wings during the performances of "The Christian Pilgrim," with Henrietta Crosman in the title role. Miss Fiske sings the music of Faith, one of the characters in the play, and both the actress who is on the stage and the singer in the wings are rewarded with applause. "The Christian Pilgrim" is adapted from Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." Miss Fiske, is a Western girl and has studied with Mr. Klein for several years. She is a soloist in the choir of St. Andrew's Church, on Seventy-sixth street near Central Park West, New York.
