Myra Mortimer, contralto, gave a recital at the Town Hall last night,
assisted by C. V. Bos at the piano, in rare old English, classic and
modern German songs, and one central group glorifying American
composers. The singer's voice was one of dramatic capabilities, range
and power, with lighter lyric moments, still halting in style as she
curbed its power in seeking an even scale. Her varied selection and
alternation of song groups produced effective contrasts. Miss Mortimer
is scheduled to sail this week to tour England, France and Spain.
