The Crookston Times speaks in the
following complimentary manner of
Miss Jane Smith and Mr.. Louis Row.
land of this city who gave musical
entertainment in the CONGREGATIONAL
church of that city Tuesday evening:
"A large and appreciative audience
greeted the artists who appeared on
the program at the concert which was
given last evening at the Congrega-
tional church under the auspices of
the Ladies' Aid society. A purely ar
tistic program was rendered, the high
est expectation Of music lovers be-
Ing satisfied. Mr.. Rowland of Grand
Forks commenced the program with
vocal selection which was most en-
toyable, receiving in this, as in his
other solos, a hearty encore. Mr..
Rowland, the possessor of a truly
musical temperament, has a pleasing
voice, which he has under perfect
control at all times. Although the
rendition of King Charles was most
pleasing to the audience, the group
Of MacDowell's songs revealed the
true Interpretation of high class mus
ic Of which Mr.. Rowland Is capable.
Miss Mamie Westerberg, in her read
Ing from "The Prisoner of Zenda," de-
lighted her audience, responding to
her encore with humorous selection.
A musical speaking voice, such as
Miss Westerberg possesses, seems to
be seldom heard, although the pos
sibtlit1es In the voice are so vast.
Miss Jane Smith Of Grand Forks, re-
ce1ved such a reception last evening
as to leave no doubt in her mind that
the musical people of Crookston fully
realize the great loss which they SUI
fered when Miss Smith changed her
residence from Crookston to Grand
Forks. Her rendition of her organ
numbers left nothing to be desired.
The height of musical possibilities was
attained in the closing number of the
program in which Miss Smith render
ed two movements, andante and vi
vace, OF Mendelssohn's concerto in G
minor, the orchestral parts being play
ed on the organ by Mr.. Rowland, the
audience refusing to leave without an
encore, Miss Smith responding with
a n3ano selection A classical pro-
gram, such as was given last evening,
creates a desire for more music Of
this class and as in good reading, the
taste may be cultivated to a true ap-
probation of the same, If 1t is only
provided frequently enough. If there
is to be no opera house during the
coming season, a splendid opportun-
ity will be afforded the various
churches Of not only making money
for their respective churches. but viii
likewise act as an incentive to our
young people to seek the best in their
musical education"
