Morgantown people have become
somewhat accustomed to rare musical
treats In recent years, but no assem-
blage Of her people has been more
| honored than were the members OF
the Fortnightly Club last night In
hearing the vocal selections sung by
Dean Sydney Lloyd Wrightson. He
never sang better, or with more SYM
pathetic sweetness. TIC those who
have heard him, and like his singing,
this will be recognized as a very high
tribute.
The evening was given up to Mr.
Wrightson, and his program OF selec-
lions from Strauss, Schubert and Alex
ander Won FieliJz.
A sincere request was made that
there be no encores, or the Dean
might have been kept singing till
morning, SO charmed was the large
company that had braved the wealth
er to get out and hear him.
The Accomplishments were playe
by Miss Mabel Foster, who is an ar
tist at the piano. She plays with
the greatest ease, and a touch that is
tender as true. A vote OF thanks
was rendered by the Club to Mr..
| Wrightson and to Miss Foster for this
rare musical treat.
Miss Brock gave review OF the
last meeting of the Club, four weeks
ago, in her inimitable style.
| A prominent visitor last night, one
of the charter members OF the Club,
said that one hundred and twenty
| five dollars could not be better ex-
pended than in publishing bound vol
umes of the reports Of the Secretary,
Miss Brock.
The Club was loyalty entertained by
| Mr. and Mrs. Fraser in their hand
some new home in South Park. A
NUMBER of their friends were invited
to enjoy this treat with the Fort
nightly Club. Most of the visitors
and members were taken over to the
Park in the new South Park bus, by
the hospitality OF Mr.. j. w. Wiles.
The night continued so rainy that be
and the hosts could not be persuaded
from providing free carriages and bus
to bring the whole party back home
after the meeting. The thanks of all
those who were SO highly favored are
extended to Mr.. Wiles and his COM
pany for this most agreeable courtesy
on very dlsagreeable night.
Dean Wrightson gave most inter-
esting historical sketch of some OF the
great composers as an introduction to
his program of selections from their
work. At the close, he announced
| that Mr.. Max Heinrich can be per-
suaded to return here and give his
last concert ia this country, before
his return to Europe. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wrightson would give their home for
the entertainment, and the cost
would thus be reduced to $3.50.
Twenty-Five dollars of this amount
had already been subscribed, SO that if
the club will contribute 1925 to hear
Mr.. Heinrich again, he will come and
sing till morning If the audience de-
sire it. Mr.. Wrghtson is very enthu-
siastic over his masters talent and
culture In music.
It was decided to hold the next
meeting on Friday evening Of next
week. at the Ladies parlor at the
University, il no other place is pro-
vided. DIR. ST. George Tucker Brooke
will read his entertaining paper
which was missed two weeks ago, De-
cause no meeting place had been Sc
cured
Prof. Patteson presided in his &C
customed graceful manner last night.
He created great deal of merriment
by bis humorous way Of announcing
subscriptions open to the proposed
musical concert.
