THE MATINEE MUSICALE.
An audience that packed the assembly
hall of the Propylaeum attended the first
open-day recital given this season by the
Matinee Musicale. The Musicale has en-
deavored to have Mrs. Corinne Moore Law
son, of Cincinnati, for a number of years,
but only yesterday were they able to secure
her for the open-day date. Many stood
during the entire programme. unable to get
seats. Mrs. Lawson sang here two years
ago for the Flower Mission. and all were
charmed with her. Yesterday her success
of two years ago was repeated. Mrs. Law
son adds to her finish as an artist a beauti-
full face and graceful presence and manner.
THE Serenata." by Moskowski,. was given.
Lawson was Obliged to repeat the number.
She is a purely classic singer. In the Sc
lections she gave there was but little or the
foriature style. She has naturally a melo-
dious voice, and she has given it the most
careful cultivation with masters. There is
a musical quality in II which never fails.
For one group, Mrs. Lawson sang seven
Gypsy. songs by Dvorak. They were short
the peculiar plaintive style. They were
very artistically presented. In the final
group was the "Serenata' mentioned be-
fore: Dream Wings" by Gerrit Smith;
a 'Hindoo Song by Bemberg, and Sum
mer," by Chaminade. The. bird fcadenza for
the last was exquisite. The vocalist was
assisted by Miss Henrietta Kitchell, who
played for the first time as a member of
the Musicale, having recently been elected
to membership. Miss Kitchell. who is one of
the finest pianists in Indiana, presented with
great skill and brilliancy the La Fileuse''
by Raft, \ and "Elinreigen," by Kroeger.
Both require a facile technique as well as
power, and in neither was there aught
lacking. Miss Kitchell at the piano was an
able companion with Mrs. Lawson on an
artistic programme. Miss Aufderheide and
Miss Beck played "Fete Boheme."' by Mas
senet. for one number. Miss Adelaide Car
man played Mrs. Lawson's accompaniment.
