...first hearing more rhapsodic, although there are episodes of beauty and imaginative power.- Mr. Hancock possesses an agreeable voice, carefully cultivated; his enunciation is particularly distinct. He entered well into the spirit of each song in his group. Mr. Locke's "Song of a Dream" exhibited a sustained lyric mood, with an admirably varied accompaniment.

It has clearly lyric quality. "The Racing Blood" of Mr. Husband opens most promisingly. The first two stanzas' description of the Greek foot-race and the Roman chariot race are full of speed, vigor and physical exhilaration; but the third stanza which attempted to trace the same racing instinct in the automobile race, and to give a moral twist to the whole is a woful breakdown.
