MISS EDNA THOMAS DELIGHTS AUDIENCE WITH NEGRO SONG! ONE OF THE MOST INTEREST DV6 MUSICAL RECITALS HEARD IN THE RESORT The mort anguine expectation! were foil}' realized at the Song Reatai given by Hie Edna Tbonu, in the rpaaoot bail room o 1 the Hotel Flanoer* on Thurwday rootsing. The recital was given in r aid «f the Seashore Home for Ba- » lie*. and judging by the audience which etter.jed. it must hate proved a eoort* of consilerable revenue to a most worthy cause. I A more appreciative audience Mia Thomas could not have desir- • ed. Several persons present were recognized as of considerable fame and distinction in the world of mu- ' sic. The accoustic properties of the room were good; nevertheless it would have been decidedly an advantage both to the singer and the audience, if the former had been standing oh a uias if only a foot above the level of the floor. Mia Edna Thomas possesses a voice of rich and deep tonal quality, developed to a high degree of excellence. A magnificent organ under complete command of the artist. gate her very little opportunity to display her vocal gift?, consisting as it fid abort entirely of KegTO folk boosts and spirituals. It became very evident however that Miss Thomas has made both ■n extensive and intensive study of the Negro character. Moreover she entered upon her studies with a highly cultured icnse of musical values and a keen insight for the oniiyliisticate-: phrasing of folk It was thii peculiar quality which distinguishes Miss Thomas apart from ali other singers who eoaay the difficult task of interpreting the negro spiritual. The aongs of a race which has suffered long under oppression vibrate with the minor mode. It is true Miss Thomas is a child of the South and is therefore intimate with the Idiosyncrasies of negro temperament. Tide alone however does not account for the fidelity with which she interpreted the negro's ancient melodies Rather It mm* be the Celtic blood coursing through her veins, by virtue of wMeh she most be ranked as one of tho first, if not actually the first Bring exponent of the songs of the nntaioKd plantation. The hannticg melancholy of the spirituals.

Miss Thomas' unique versatility was demonstrated when she abandoned the spirituals for the neferc*u in a lighter vein, a.- evidence-: in ** f*v rendition of "I got ahoe*." the ™ ; "Chimney Sweep of New Orleans" j and in a grvup of Creole songs ' sung in the patois of the plantsMiss Edna Thomas appeared at ** the recital in a costume of the lT" early Victorian period, with it- , e" ballooning crinoline, and it might be added that if the ladies of the j ** period looked as winsome and as ; ir" charnJrg as the singer, the fash- , n : ion ther. ir. vogue revealed more of °* the prescriptive grace of wotnarB" | hood than the bobbed hair and the , meagre garments typical of ffap- f '* ft is to be regretted that there ^ "" , was not an audience a dozes times ^ as many in number at the recital m The age is passing through a reoot aissance of the folk-sing.
