Miss Beck Pleases
In Evening of Song
The "Evening of Song," presented
by LaMurle Beck, to a capacity audi
ence on Thursday evening, at Bald
win Recital Hall . waa a delightful
deviation from the ordinary recital.
Of particular Interest waa the rendi
tion of several groups In costumes,
gay and elaborate. From the opening
number. Miss Beck won the confi
dence of her audience with, her poise
and splendid stage presence.
Gifted with a lovely, clear, high
soprano voice and a vibrant personal- I
lty. each number was so beautifully
interpreted, It made her singing sn
expression of Joy. Her method of
using the voice was free, easy and
natural; - her phrasing original and
the quality did not change with a
change in pitch, even to the finest
pianissimo.
Most unanimous waa trie criticism
of the audience on her excellent
enunciation, even to the actual
whisper in "The Green-Efyed Dragon."
In gay attractive gypsy costume trie
singer made an effective entrance
using her tambourine to accompany
the rhythm of the gypsy airs. Her
Chinese costume was truly authentic
and the Oriental numbers beautifully
Interpreted. . -
Perhaps the most favored was the
group in Colonial costume a "multi
ruffled" pink dress, bouffant style,
with a white wig and old-fashioned
"nose-gay."
"A Lesson With the Fan" a musi
cal recitation, revealed marked dra
matic ability.
Helen Elta Drummond, accomplish
ed violinist, assisted with four beauti
ful numbers. Interpreted with a depth
of feeling which won her much ap
plause. Roberta Ward Bebb, Instructor of
Miss Beck and accompanist for the
evening, played with a technique
facile and displayed tenderness or
soul as well.
The floral decorations of the hall
carried out the pastel shades of the
evening, dresses and corsages worn
by the three performers, and Lois
Herman and Betty Fowler, the ushers.
Mujfc credit Is -due Mrs. Bebb for
planning and arranging so delightful
an evening.
