Maud Powell, violinist; May Nuke,
'cellist, and Anne Ford, pianist, inaug-
urated their Southern California tour
last night at the Potter theater in
Santa Barbara, opening the Philhar-
monic series of this season for the
Music Study club of that city. The
brilliant audience that filled the Potter
represented the social, artistic and mu-
steal people of that section. The pro-
gram rendered was most artistic, CIV
ing each artist an opportunity for solo
and ensemble work.
This evening at Simpson auditorium
the trio will render a recital program
constituting the second event of the
Philharmonic course. The ability of
these artists is unquestioned, and it is
seldom that a 'cellist as talented as
Miss Nuke is found in a combination
of this character, her friendship for
Miss Powell being largely instrumental
in bringing Miss Nuke to this country.
The only concert to be given by the
Powell trio in Los Angeles this season
will take place this evening in Simpson
auditorium, with the following pro-
gram:
acknowledgements for violin in three
movements, Minor Allegro: Romance, a.
