The third recital Of the newly-organ-
lied Woman's Musical Club, az a. o. L.
W. hall Yesterday afternoon, like us
predecessors. was an entire success from
both a musical and social point OF Vle"
the former predOminatirg, however, as
q matter of course The appreciation
of the members is steadily growing, and
the added enthusiasm and interest Is
very noticeable from week TO week.
This augurs well for the future OF the
organization and it is the earnest wish
of many that the club now so we'll start
ed on It's course, may become q perma-
neut feature Of the musical future OF
our city.
Yesterdays programme opened with a
R0ssini quinte.te for piano from Inc
Barber OF Seville" the performers being
Miss Flora POllack, Mrs. c. O. Ro5mer,
Mrs. j. W. Ph0ebus, Miss Dee Pollack
and Mss Mary Wilde. The number was
Interpreted with spirited intelligence,
end was in all respects a fitting prelude
for that which was 10 follow.
Bavingnanfs "Fl1wer Girl" printed
i'm the fourth space on the programme
was moved up TO the second number,
and was exquisitely sung by Mrs. Her
bert Riheldaffer. Her voice, pure IN
quality. and clear as a bell in The high
notes. was a revelation to most OF those
present.
The third number, Chop.n's I'M
prompm IN A fiat, op. 30 the famous
Tr.lby Impromptu, quickly developed
lie fact that the performer, Mrs. Louisa
A. Bertschey. was an artistic. The dou-
HE trio bv Smart. Rest Thee on this
Messy Pillow" was we'll balanced and
deserved the commentator it recely-
ed 80, =.
The Labitzky violin duet. "Traum der
Sannerin." which opened the second part
Of the programme. did infinite credit 10
Miss Flora Pollock and Mrs John +.
Glass. The finish of the adag:o and the
grace and energy OF the ensemble won
favor at once.
The club with appreciation and
thanks. accorded Mrs. G. w. Shinn the
compliment of being the first lady Wis
{or. in the city to honor the club by con-
senting to play before it. Her Taren-
talle and Waltz were thoroughly ENJOY
ed. and it is to be hoped she may again
be heard at an early day.
Miss Z9u Hastings numbers were
cbarm.ngly artistic. The excellence OF
her work is TOO well known TO the pub
lie TO require more than mention.
Saint Saens' Dams Macabre,' by Mrs.
HUM and Mrs. Flick was magnificenJly
rendered. 1, was prefaced by a des-
crintive reading by Miss Pollack, and
The number IS thought Of as a possible
one for a place upon an annotated opera
House programme at some future time.
The Rubenstein solo and chorus was
the vocal gem of the programme. Mrs.
Wasner's voice is a beautiful mezzo So
nrsno Of great purity and range. under
nerfect control. and she was listened 10
with the greatest pleasure and atten-
ton The improvement Of the chorus
is very apparent, and Mrs. Williams
work as well as the industry or the
members. reflects the greatest credit up
on both. A pleasant event OF the day
was the presentation by the active mem
hers of a baton to Mrs. Williams, as a
slight token Of their appreciation OF her
untiring efforts in behalf Of the club.
