CONCERT FRIDAY AT TOWN HALL Well Known Confralto | Soloist Makes -Debut Tomorrow Evening — - Proving that she is not supersti- tious, Ellen Repp, well known con- | tralto, who appeaped in concert in this city last summer will make he debut at New York’s Town Hall £o- morrow evening at 8:30 o'clock (4:30 o'clock Juheau time). | Miss Repp has many friends all through the Territory, and at pré- ent her mother, Mrs, E. G. Reep, of Everett, Washington, is visiting with | bher niece Miss Maghild .Qygard, in this city. On her program for tomorrow ev- |ening, Miss Repp has chosen sev- eral selections which ‘she presented {during her appearancé here last summer, among them, melodies from the “Norwegiary Nursery Rhymes,” and an Amy Worth .sel- ection, “Softly the Snow,” which piece was dedicated to Miss Repp by Amy Worth, well known Seat- tle composer. Previous important appearances of Miss Repp in New York include her performance in the contralto role of “The Messiah” during the hollday season at Carnegie Hall last year, and as one of thrée soloists at the Westchester Music Festival in May, Following is a review of a concert given in New York, December 9. Those who attended the season’s frist concert of the Jackson Heights Chorale, on Thursday evening, Dec- ember 1, came away with a new en- thusiasm—Ellen Repp, the young American contralto of Norwegian extraction who was the much her- alded soloist of the occasion. Miss Repp justified the claims made for her—and they were not modest ones—with an extraordinar- ily beautiful and vital performance. Her voice has immense volume, yet her control is perfect, her pianissi- mos exquisite. The richest texture is the middle range, but the lowest notes are strong and musical, the upper register clear and unforced. Her interpretations are subtle; she is beautifully at home in several languages; her instinct for the mood of a lyric is infallible, and she infects her audience with that mood, with the uncanny surety of a great singer. Recent musical history makes one speculate as to whether eventually most of the great singérs will not originate in the strong Norse races, rather than in the .exhausted and over complicated nations of central and southern Eprope. Flagstad, Thorborg, Melchoir, help to estab- lish that conviction. This young Naumberg Prize winner, just enter- ing the lists, does nothing to shake it. | Thoughts for her success at Town Hall will be .in the minds of music lovers of Juneau tomorrow, and numerous telegrams will be received by Miss Repp from well-wishers in this city. Four Flat Tires B LET YOUR STYLE NOTES BE HEADY . WHILE YOU ARE AWAITING SPRING Fit & i af * ! | | | Lilly' Dache writes-an interesting headline to winter dinner fashions with a cap hairnet sprinkled with se- quins swirls in gunmetal and silver to match the big bead yepe. The dr | Murphy Successor By ADELAIDE KERR AP .Fashion Editer. Let fashion go to your head this winter while you're waiting for spring to brighten the style-scape. Lilly Dache showed how it could be done—with a hairnet, a bow and a bit of sparkle—at one of the recent ! luncheon fashion shows at the New York Ritz. Most of the hairnets were worn under hats, and remained to add a little midseason myglery (o coiffures when chapeaux came off, but others were splashed with flow- ers or sequins to ornament heads at night. They were brown, often double mesh and covered hair dres: ed both high and low. A shiny black straw sailor with a forward-jutting yellow quill was worn with a hairnet splashed with yellow chenille dots, slung like a hammock over the hair above the| nape of the neck.
