FINE PROGRAM At
EVENING Of SONG
IN EAST ORANGE
Mile. Marguerite Starell and
Horatio Connell Delight
Large Audience.

Mile. Marguerite Starell. of the
Philadelphia Chicago Opera Company,
and Horatio Council gave an
enjoyable evening of song las night
at the home of Mrs. George Vail, 100
Prospect street, East Orange. Mrs.
William S. Nelson, of Orange, under
whose cement the musicale was
given, and Isidore Luckstone, we're at
the piano.
Mile. Starell has a soprano voice of
great softness and sweetness which lent
itself admirably to the several German
and French selections that were among
her numbers. Her perfect mastery of
those languages dispelled the disap-
pointment the ordinary concert audi
ence feels when only two English Sc
lections are included in a singers pros
gram. She showed great art in pro-
p~ortioning her voice to the size of the
music room, especially in THE Cry of
the Valkyria," which revealed the full
beauty of tone and range This num-
Der, which was given as al encore, was
repeated at the hearty applause of the
audience.
Mr.. Connell, who has appeared with
great success in Covent Garden and in
concert and oratorio work both here
and abroad, possesses a bass-baritone
voice which is deep without a sugges-
ton of ~harshness. and which he uses
to full advantage. His Interpretation
of his songs asst night and the feeling
which he gave them is worthy of the
highest praise. AS encores he repeated
thine to Rise" and sang "A Little
Winding Road by Landon Ronald.
Mr.. Connell left today for Ann Arbor.
Mich, where he will take part in the
festival, singing in Judas Maccabeus''
and Eugene Onegin."
The closing musicale will be given
Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs.
A. B. Leach, Scotland road. South Or
ange.

later met Clifford Harmon at luncheon

that he will be kept very busy with en-

possible that the young birdinan, who
