IN RECTAL
Miss BIair's Artists to
Sing Persian Garden
Insurance Men Dine at the
WaIton-Daisies Have
a Social

The recital to be given by Miss Ella
Day Blair Monday evening. March Z. at
o'clock, in the New-Century Club OF
the Persian Garden" win prove very
attractive to all lovers OF poetry and
music. The quartet to render it is Of
unusual merit. Miss Marsh. the So
prano. studied in Paris and possesses
a dramatic voice Of great range and
singular sweetness. She is unquestion-
ably the best soprano who has ever
sung this part in this city. Mr.. Dun
das, the tenor, is reported to be quite
the equal of Nicholas Douty in this
part and he received much praise re-
Gently for his rendering Of it in Phila-
delphia.
/ Miss Newkirlt possesses an unusually
high trained contralto voice. Her lower
/ register is particularly full and rich
and she has proven herself to be an
artist of the first rank. Too much also
cannot be said of the ability Of Mr.
Rees, the basso and the rendering Of
the magnificent bass part of this most
charming work win please the mosi
fastidious of our musical critics.
Miss Blair's brilliant and sympa.
thetic accompaniment is well known
TO Wilmington people. The Persian
Garden" requires a pianist of high in.
terpretative merit and brilliant execu.
tion and Miss Blair more than meets
these requirements. ~
Tickets may be had at the door
Such an opportunity is not often al.
forded Wilmington people.
