This club is composed of members of the Y. W. C. A. and is directed by Miss Imogene B. Ireland, head of the music department of that organization. There are 33 members of the club as listed on the program and they all seem to have fresh, un- spoiled voices. In addition they have clear diction, singing all their songs in Fnglish distinctly understandable, and they had memorized their words so that they were unhampered by that great drawback—books. The altos, a section smaller in number than the | showed fine quality but a slight lack of confidence, which they will lose easily enough in frequent per- formances. ‘The club doubtless will gain much in color and maturity of phrasing and warmth gradations of tone later, too. The selections that the club pre- sented were not overly ambitious, but they were well chosen. They opened the program with Edward German's “Orpheus With His Lute,” and later sang Henry Hadley's arrangement of “The Night Wind" (not so dramatic as Far- ley's better known setting), *“Amaryl- lis,” by Glys (in which the mezzos were effective): Weil's “Spring Song.” “Blue Bells of Scotland” (unaccompa- nied), and. as a closing number, “Good Night.” a Bohemian folk song. Assisting the club were two fine solo- ists. Marion Holmes, a soprano with a lovely volce, charming personality and marked intelligence in the art of song, won warm enthusiasm from her audience for the group of old English | songs which she sang in costume. The | less known “Plague of Love” was espe- i liked. Bland's “Stars in the was the encore. Miss Holmes’ voice scems to be excellently placed and she has no tremulo. evening she sang the “Jewel Song” from “Faust” with less distinction, for hers is not an operatic voice. The en- core was “O Mio Bambino Caro” from Puccini's “Gianni Schichi.” Evelyn Scott, young Washington vio- linist, played a group of Schubert num- bers, “Minuet” of Hochstein's, “Gypsy Dance No. 1" by Nachez, and was de- cidedly at her best in Bohm's “Per- petuum Mobile.” =~ She also arranged | a clever little obbligato for the Welil | “Spring Song,"” which added to its at- tractiveness and was both in the mood and discreetly proportioned to choral part. an adequate and sympathetic accompa- | nist for both Miss Holmes and Miss Scott, and the club's accompanist, who according to the program, was prob- ably Vivienne Winstead, performed her part well. There were bouquets for all Slip Covers Made to order for any 3-pc. Living Room Suite, using the best grade imported Belgian Linen or Cretonne. Perfect fit guaranteed. $28.75 This Week Only.

Henderson for giving them a tea party. to their State alumni and State society, etc.. with a big dance winding up the festivities after the concert. The glee club sang unusually well under the direction of Herbert Wall. Their first group of old Latin works by Palestrina and Arcadelt, sung a capella, made an _effective beginning. There was more color in the later lizht group, of which Cook's “Swing Along” was repeated. “Broken Melody,” the prize contest song_for the associated clubs, of which New York won the prize this vear. was very well done under the direction of Albert Otto. who also directed the club in Bantock's “Through Eastern Gates." Encores were “Me an’ My Little Banjo” and as finale. “Sons of Old Missou’." Garnett Fowler, tenor, and Albert Otto, bari- tone, sang solos well. giving as their re- spective encores “Elegy” by Massenet, for the tenor. and “Mysell When Young” and “My Adelaide " by Callejo. | Both have good voices and show good training and marked possibilities for development. Leslie Jolliff, pianist, won special recognition for his Chopin numbers and gave de Falla's Fire Dance” as encore. His accompaniments, too, were excellent. a noted physicist predicts. TYLISH STO!
