for one so young. Alma Wells,
Emma Zielisch, Vera Wilson and
Dollie Dearing played their
numbers with musical under
standiag and pleasing expres
sion. Marjorie Reynolds, Nellie
Bramberg and Laura Baker
rendered vocal solos which were
heartily received. Edina Vena
tor gave a pretty interpretation
ofFriml's "Veil Dance." Ulla
Dickinson, Frances Townsend.
Dorothy Paddock and Opal
Hewitt displayed artistic tem
perament in Presser's "Approach
of Spring". Their rendition was
entirely lacking in mechanical
technique. Robert Craven, Otis
Scott, Lavelle Hewitt and Guy
Prather were the young gentle
men who bravely appeared on
the evening's program. They
each received an ovation. The
last young man rendered his
number with wonderful expres
sion and phrasing.
Music is not a necessity in life
yet it is certainly allied with the
big emotions. Armies are notv
going to war to its strains with
many musical artists in the lead
humming opera airs we have
paid large sums to hear bracing
their company as few other
things could. Sailors sing to
keep heart and soul when they
are months at sea. The large
and enthusiastic audience present
Monday evening feels assured
that Mrs. Mcintosh is most
efficiently doing her part in pro
moting the love of good music to
a large number of promising
musicians in this vicinity.
