Many invited guests were present. The opening number was the well | known and universally admired op- era, Poet and Peasant, which was! played as a duet by Mrs. Getzen and Miss Chamblin. These talented mu- |sicins are a great acquisition to the | music circles of Lakeland and the |beautiful and artistic manner in {which they rendered this composi- tion showed they both had received fine musical training. The second 'mumber on the program was Il Tro- i\'nlore‘ by Miss Catherine Carter. | Although Miss Carter is still quite Register . Young, she played remarkably well. | The perfect confidence she has in her ability and her correctness of execution, both show that she has had the very best and most careful training. His Lullaby by Carrie Jacob Bond, whichwas sung by Miss Ruth Cason, was one of the most pleasing num- bers on the program. Miss Cason of tone which goes straight to the heart and made her audience forget all save the beautiful music to which they were listening. Following this, came Melody in F by Rubenstein, which was played as a duet by Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Pe- terman. All present felt that it given a more perfect rendition this universally admired composi- tion than did these two ladies. They | brought out the melody throughout the entire piece with a distinctness and roundness of tone which was 'lovely. Heart-Dreams by Gamble was sung by Mrs. Getzen. 'heard in Lakeland, and heard her yesterday were delighted ywith her singing. Her voice is clear and beautiful and this lovely 'sung seemed to be especially adapt- ed to her. Spring Song, which was played by Mrs. Peterman, is one of the most lovely and best liked of all of Men- delssohn's works for the piano. Mrs. Peterman put a great deal of feel- ing and expression into this piece, and also played it with that deli- cacy and lightness of touch which are so essential to brinzing out the real beauty of the composition. Miss Vera Buchanan, who is one of Lakeland’s most promising young musicians, played Valse Styrenne by Wollenhaupt. Her execution was brilliant and the clearness and ac- curacy with which she rendered this composition was beautiful. The. two little Irish songs which ness and sprightliness of which Mrs. Getzen is 8o thoroughly capable. Mrs. Getzen has a wonderful range and whenever and wherever sings she is sure to charm her audi- ence. The last solo number on the pro- gram was Sherzo in E flat by Brahms. This long and extremely difficult piece was rendered with the utmost east by Mrs. Roscoe Skipper. ection | Her technique phrasing and expres- entire | |sion were perfect, and the | piece was executed with the grace jand skill of a finished artist. i This was the last meeting of the !season. The club has done fine work this year, studying the lives and compositions of a number of the great masters. Papers having been read on the noted composers and many beautiful selections both vocal and instrumental having been ren-| dered by the members of the club. The work will be taken up again in the fall and the talented and effi- cient director, officer and members will endeavor to make it the great success it has proved to be this year.
