Even Williams, America's Greatest
Concert Tenor, Says It's Unnecesary
to Sing in a Foreign Language
Even Williams. America's greatest
concert tenor, who will be heard in joint
recital with Maud Powell, the renowned
violinist, on Thursday evening, April 8,
in the Chestnut street auditorium, is
one of the leading disciples of the sing
ing in English.
It has been Mr. Williams' opinion
for a long time that it is not absolutely
necessary for a singer to sing in for
eign languages, when, with proper trans
lation, most of the songs are equally
effective and fare more enjoyable in
an understandable tongue.
llis program in this city will be de
voted entirely to English, and on the
list are songs made fammis by records,
and through many requests he has kind
ly consented to sing Bartlett's "A
Dream," Neidjinger's "Sweet Miss
Mary" and his two well-known rec
ord songs, "A Perfect Day" and
