MISS FoNv1LLE PLAYS.
Something Doing in The Realm of
Music at Louisiana.

The Louisiana Press contained
the following complimentary
notice last week:
"The next feature of the pro
gram, which the anxious audience
was eagerly expecting, as an
nounced by Mr.. Ingle, was a solo
by Mrs. Lou Bybee of Mexico, who
sang as only Mrs. Bybee can. The
articulation Of words, the swees-
ness of voice, the soulful song,
all combined to render the selec-
ton most inspiring and apprc-
ciative and showed that she had
studied well her piece.
But the feast still remained
spread, and it was a feast of fat
things in the way Of music. Mr..
Ingle announced that the musical
feature of the evening was to be
concluded with rendition on the
cornet by Miss Fonville of Mexico.
Well now, maybe you think there
WASH t something doing in the
realm of music for a spell and the
spell was too short. This charm
ing young woman, one Of Mexico S
favorite daughters, with a soul
full of sweet and enrapturing
music, heart music as she
seated herself at the instrument,
held the cornet in the fingers of
the right hand and with those Of
the left manipulated the keys of
the piano; one answering to the
other in harmonious echo, seemed
to draw the audience towards her
self with magical influence, while
the very stiffness of a beautiful
May morning enveloped the vast
audience. The young lady con-
cluded and retired, but the en-
thusiasm and delight ran so high
that the gifted girl had to return
and try her genius again, and was
still encored."
