The first of two concerts for the benefit
of the Pension Fund and, Incidentally, tho
only choral work scheduled by the or
ganization this year, was given Inst night
by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Assisting
tho augmented orchestra wero Florence
Hlnkle, soprano; Emma Itoberts, mezzo
soprano, and John F. Brnuii, tenor, all
volunteers In the splendid cnuso of tho
orchestra's welfare nnd members of 16
societies which cultivate the art of choral
singing in this city. Tho work was en
thusiastically and, In tlio end. Impress
ively done, and tho fanfnrc which greeted
Mr. Stokowslti ns ho camo for acknowl
edgment was a well-earned tribute to
th almost superhuman exertions ho has
gone through for this concert.
.Mendelssohn's "Lobgcsang," composed
for the festival of 1810, when Leipzig cele
brated tho invention of printing, was tho
work chosen. Ono cannot help thinking
of Koheleth, who said In sadness that
"God hath made man upright, but they
have sought out mnny Inventions." It
is not without significance that to com
memorate tho ono Invention which has
been In the highest senso a corrupter of
humanity (and therefore a restorer)..tho
mnn was chosen who kept the simplicity
of nature uncorruptcd In his heart. Tho
"Iobgesang" Is pralso perfected from the
mouth or a child. If it larks tho pro
fundity of Beethoven's Inst word. It has
n more lilting Joy and a naivete of its
own.
It was played and sung last night with
a full understanding of this spirit. In
tho orchestra the wind choir distinguished
Itself as It has on many previous occa
sions, and Its work with the strings wns
particularly notable. Tho soloists sang,
alone or together, with ilno Intonation,
clarity of utterance nnd effectivo dra
matic appeal. Naturally, It was Mr.
Braun with the "watchman scene" who
answered particularly to this last neces
sity, and It wns Miss Hlnkle who camo
to lyric height in her reply. But tho
chlefest pleasure of the cantata was in
tho splendidly trained chorus, which ad
dressed ltselr with skill to its work, nnd
without hesitation or faltering carried It
through to Its triumphant conclusion. It
may bo questioned whether the Academy
was adequate to such a. chorus, Inasmuch
as a quarter of thoso in tho building took
part In tho work. There wero moments
when the Impact of sound on the car was
terrific. But the tendency to overexpres
slon was certainly suppressed, if not by
tho singers, then by their director, and
the total effect was pleasing and uplift
ing. For tho long effort and tho patient
travail of Mr. Stokowskl this was cer
tainly a Just recompense.
Tho Wagner Program
This afternoon the second concert for
tho orchestru's pension fund will be held
at the Academy. Mme. Johanna Gadski
Is tho soloist, and the program Is al
most equally divided between purely
orchestral and lyric work. Mme. Gadski
wlll sing Elizabeth's '"Prayer" from
"Tannhaeuser," Elsa's "Dream" from
"Lohengrin" and Isolde's "Narration"
and the "Llebestod" from "Tristan und
Isolde." From tho tlrst of the mentioned
works the orchestra will play the over
ture and Venusberg music, as scored in
the Paris version of the opern; from the
second it will play the Vorsplel to Act I
and that to Act 3, and from the last tho
Vorsplel.
"Rigoletto" at the Garrick
"Rlgoletto" was given by the San Carlo
Grand Opera Company nt the Garrick
Theatre last night. Gulseppe Agostlnl,
the duke, and Angelo Antola, Rlgoletto,
who bore the brunt of Wednesday night's
performances, were even more cordially
received last night, Eldvldge Vaccari aa
Gllda was much better In the last act
than In any other. Miss A. Cadamarterl
as Maddalena, completed the quartet In
the last art, which, of course, was re
peated, and not without good reason.
Emilia Sesona was Sparafuclle, The sing
ing and acting were very good through
out. The chorus and orchestra also were
liberally applauded. Ponchlelll'a 'La
Gloconda" will be given this evening.

have long to mourn. She soon passed
away. Both will be burled in tho same
