An audi ence of about 600 attended the performance and applause was enthusiastic. The concert was not only a tri umph for Conductor Richard D. Werner and his musicians, but a triumph for Sylvia DeVoss,' col oratura soprano. This was the first appearance of Mrs. DeVoss in a major program in the val ley, and she delighted her listen ers. Mrs. DeVoss has a soprano voice of great sweetness and purity, and she knows how to sing. One can also add to this the fact that she is attractive and has an engaging stage personal ity. Mrs. DeVoss' best numbers yesterday were the Haendel "My Beloved," in which she was ac companied by the orchestra, and Rimsky Korsakoff's "Hymn to the Sun" from "'La Coq D'Or." with piano accompaniment by Bruno Pellagrini. Her voice and temperament are apparently less suited to a number such as the "Carmena Waltz Song," and the smoothness of "Sing, Smile, Slumber," in which Delmar Myres played the flute obbliga to, was marred slightly by a mis cue among the three musicians. This reviewer hopes that Mrs. DeVoss continues to live in the valley and to share her talent with music lovers here. Conductor Richard Werner and the orchestra deserve high praise for their performance of the beautiful "Unfinished Sym phony" of Schubert. In this num ber the orchestra began to show the degree of excellence which earlier performances this season promised. The string section, as has been mentioned before, is particularly fine and performed to good advantage yesterday in ly NAME, ADDRESS with SIZE and STYLE NUMBER. Healing Arts Clinic DR GEORGE H.

The concert opened with the overture from "The Marriage of Figaro" and between the solo ists' two groups, two operatic numbers were performed. Be cause of a printing error, the programming on these was re versed and Conductor Werner chose to -play them in the order which had been planned, rather than as they appeared on the leaflet: This produced minor confusion which may have add ed to the feeling that the two were played with less finesse and musicianship than the sym phony. Verdi's stirring "Grand March" from the opera "Aida" closed the program. Adding to the pleasure of the afternoon was a post-concert party given by members of the Philharmonic guild for the or- Hints on how to fence your i 'yoUR fence can be a good in i X vestment or a constant irrita tion and expense.
