Helen Jepson Sings for
Klamath Falls Audience
Beautiful Metropolitan Star Pleases With Delight-,
ful Program Friday Night
Lavish with her encores, beautiful to look at,- thrilling to
hear, Helen Jepson sang and sang and sang last night at the
Pelican to members ond guests of the Klamath Community
Concert association. She probably did more to aid the mem
bership drive which opens Monday, than all the publicity
which could be given such a campaign.
Miss Jepson, wearing a luscious pink concoction, long
sleeved, full skirt ending in a generous train with deeper pink
ond crystal sequin trim outlining the slit, was glomour per
sonified as she stepped on the '
stage. Her lovely blonde hair
was dressed in a pompadour
and when she sang the second
group including the little
"Serenade," she held a book
bound in the matching pink
with a sequin scroll repeating
tho decor of her gown.
Miss Jepson left early Sat
urday morning by train for
Los Angeles after an ovation
which few artists have re
ceived in Klamath Falls.
Tho Metropolitan Opera
star, leading soprano of that
great Institution, chose a pro
gram which was definitely on
the artistic side. But she sang
encoro after encore, and bal
anced her program so beauti
fully that the well blended
numbers produced an evening
MAPPING THE MEMBERSHIP campaign of this year's
Community Concert drive, these four met during tho
week to complete details. Left to right, Mrs. Martin
Swanson, membership chairman; Mrs, George A, Myers
ond Mrs, F, Cecil Adams, co-chairmen, ond Mrs. Claude
H. Davis, secretary of the association, Headquarters
will be in the Willard hotel.

of lovely music. One of the
favorites of the audience, tak
ing the applause as evidence,
was Franz Schubert's "Wiegen
lied," his beloved cradle song
and the one that carries that
haunting line, "Sleep, my
child, angel voices sing thee
to innocent slumber."
The Maurice Ravel number,
"Vocalise," a Spanish haban
era sung on one syllable, is
one of Miss Jepson's own fav
orites and one which she in
cludes tn most other programs
which are planned before she
leaves New York.
Tho formal program was
ended with G. O'Connor Mor
ris' thrilling "Alleluia," a joy
ous Easter hymn of the seven
teenth century, and magnif-
lcently done by Miss Jepson
who seemed to be thrilled her
self In singing the hymn.
Miss Jepson's accompanist,
Stevenson Barrett, played
Chopin and Debussy numbers
and responded with a delight
ful encore, a "little waltz" by
a little known Russian com
poser. ANW CLUB
