Carl Jorn

Carl Jorn, the Metopolitan opera tenor, stages a vaudeville performance featuring songs from famous operas and operatic singing. He sings in French, German and Italian.

Cavatine from "Faust," the Prize Song from "Die Meistersingers," Ridi from "Pagliacci."

The Palace audience received his numbers splendidly. The Palace liked the "Pagliacci selection so well Jorn obliged with an encore of that popular opera.

Jorg can sing. His technique, expression and register have been attended to many times by the musical critics of two continents. Jorn may not stick to vaudeville long, but while he is there is bound to prove a vocal treat. It was also thankful that he did not appear in a tiger's skin and tear up a few planks of the stage in apparent endeavor to show that he could act. Jorn left that behind at the Metopolitan. The big, smooth-faced European didn't even pose in the centre of the stage close to the footlight circuit, nor did he call for any spotlight. There were no frantic gestures or wild gesticulations which many of the so-called vaudeville operatic importations throw in for measure. It was the voice, but a voice with music, feeling and range.
