CEIBEL CONCERT
A MUSICAL TREAT
EpwOrth Young People VIII
be Assisted by Prominent
Out Of Town Talent

Announcement Of the purpose to
give the concerts by the Geihol
Chorus on two evenings in Epworth
Church has been received with sat
isfactiCn by many people who want
to hear the great chorus of children
sing. Indications are that Epworth
Church auditorium will not be able
TO hold those who desire to attend
the entertainment and those in
charge have arranged 10 give the
concerts on two successive Tuesday
evenings April % and May 6. This
will enable large number of peo-
pie to enjoy one Of the best musical
treats Of the season.
The young artists secured through
a Philadelphia bureau are perfect
wonders.
Miss Ethel Nutham.ner. called "The
Young retrazzini.' has been study
ing ever since she was a small child
under Madam Ada Turner Kurtz, and
although still but a ,iild in years. yet
her voice Is remarkable for rs beauty,
hexibility and control. So is mu-
sical genius. and Oscar Sanger of
New York. after hearing her sing a
famous aria from one OF the we'll
known operas, predicted a wonderful
career for this gifted artist when
she natures further in her studies.
One OF Miss Nuthaminer's special num-
bers will be Jocolyn's "Slumber
Song" wiah violin obligato. by Alex
ande- zerker. the young violin sole
list. who is among the assistir., talent.
Another number "Polonaise from
Mignon." " promises to show the younx
singers voice in all its breadth. She
has also included Gounod's AVA
Maria" among htr numbers and this
will be rendered with violin obligato.
That such a young girl is able to
sing such classic music in manner
that would do honor to more mature
soloist is scarcely believable. and
those who have heard the young So
loist say she will create a sensation
when nc ma es her first appearance
in Wilmington at the Geibel conce.,.
What is said OF Miss Nuthaminer
can also be said Of the other two
yegsS assisting artists. iiss Dorothea
