A Distinct Success •. •-
The recital ofclassical and popular
songs given by Mr. R. Norman' Joi-
liffe
son o
f Rev.and Mrs i
.r Joll ffe, of
Clinton, at the Toronto Conservatory
of Music on Saturday night was a dila
tinct success. Mr..Jolliffe is among
the number of Canadianrinuaic-
iasis studying in.Yew York; and. by' the
artistic manner in which he 'rendered
some of the more difficult numbers in
Saturday evening's programme, he
conclusively proved bow successful
have
been his vocal studies at the
e
heart
of the
reat.Ena ire. States. Mr.
Jolliil'e's: baritone selections were in,
terspered with recitations by 3liss
Jessie Alexander, and in her case also
the audience was not sparing in ap-
preciation, Perhaps it was the varied
nature of the programme Which won
for it such constant enthusiasm. Songs
there were to please every ear, songs
of war,, songs of German mystery, love
songs in several languages, even a
coon song to round out the whole. In
Homer's "Requiem," Mr, Jolliffe's
well modulated voice found scope for
all its sympathies, and he well per.
trayed the moods of "?iiia poe1CC lieij--
ert Louis
Stevenson,on, who wrote t ere
he died. Schubert's "Der Doppel-1
ganger," and "Der Wandered," selec• a
tions well known ih every classical i
programme, were most favorably re.
ceived. "Molly's Eyes," by Harnlay,
and "My Love, She`s but a Lassie'Y'et 1
because of their familiaritly and l
universality of sentiment, also de-
lighted the audience. The closing'
number, "Danny Dewer," by Dam.
roach, brought a fine programme to
an appropriate . end. Miss • Jessie
Piper of IAlexander's first number, "The Pied
