grams Ever Given By Home Talent
Rabbi Brill Delivered Lecture
No better proof that Music hath
its charms has ever been furnished
than that given by the large and cul-
tured audience that tested the seta-
ing capacity of the Hebrew Union
Temple to its utmost Thursday even
ing. Mrs. Leop Levy and Mrs J.
Isadore Lindy had constituted them
selves a committee to get up an
Organ Recital and Musicale for the
benefit OF the Hebrew Union Temple
and not alone has the Temple been
matrially benefited to an extent of
about two hundred dollars in its cof-
fers, but the vast audience who lis
tened to the following program feel
indebted to these two noble women
for an evenings enjoyment:
The first number on the program
was an Organ Voluntary-Proces-
sional March Edgar Smith under
the skillful and mastery touch OF
Miss Mary Nelson Walker As the
strains of the organ pealed forth one
intuitively felt that Miss Walker was
musician from love of the art.
Vision" (Homer Norris) rendered by
Miss Fannie Rosella. was beautifully
sung. Miss Rosella has a sweet So
prano voice under splendid control
3. (a) "Traumerei" (Shuman)
(b) "Capriccio" (E Lemaigre)
played by Miss Walker again showed
the gifted organist at her best.
4. Praise the Lord (Danks) by
the choir, composed of Mesdames l.
| Levy, A. Brill, C. Witt, l. Vormus,
Isadore Lindy and the Misses Fannie
Rosella, Fay Schlessinger and Mr..
Hurt, by their splendid rendition
showed clever aggregation of sing
ers.
S. "For All Eternity" (Angelo Ma
scheron) sung by Mrs. Clarence
Witt, fairly held the audience SPELL
bound and it is safe to say could their
| appreciation have been evinced by
! applause, this sacred edifice would
have fairly groaned under the storm.
Mrs Wits voice is clear and sweet
and delight to all music lovers,
g. 90 Divine Redeemer" (Chas.
Gunod) sung by Miss Susan Ireys
and Mrs. Wade Negus, inspired the
audience with a religious fervor
which only two such blended voices
could inspire. Miss Ireys has rich
mellow alto voice, showing splendid
training; and Mrs. Negus' voice will
compare most favorably with some
of our greatest artists of the day.
"Hallalujah" (Warren) by the choir
was soul-stirring triumph.
Goodbye" (TostD could have
been assigned to no abler songstress
| than Miss Alice Lou Greenley,
whose sweet voice and manner lent
such charm to the song, that, as
she echoed the last goodbye it
brought forth sigh of regret from
1.-THE throng; making them wish that
the goodbye" might be deferred a
while longer.
The musical part of the program
ended with an organ voluntary, and
although Miss Walker had been th.
accompanies all evening as we'll as
soloist in part, the "Offertoire" (Ba-
{ tiste) and .Sortie" in G major (Rog.
ers) were rendered with that same
artistic finish that marks all oi
Miss Walkers playing.
Dr. Brill then presented some
magic lantern slides, illustrating "Olc
Jewish Customs and Observances
showing the religious life from infan
cy to old age and death. 1t is to BIZ
regretted that most of them are ex
tinct; as many of them in their swee1
simplicity appealed to the spiritua
side of many present.
Altogether, the entertainment was
without doubt, the finest of its kint
ever given in our midst; and Green
vile amy well be proud of its musica
talent and of the two ladies (Mes
danes Levy and Lindy) who en-
abled the citizens to enjoy such al
evening.
