Especially of folk-song programs. Her
father was superintendent of the in
dustrial school for girls at Mitchell
villel and she was born at Mitchell
Vile. She attended school i'm Wichi-
ia, Kan, and after Governor Lewellyn
died she went to Chicago, where her
musical and literary talents soon won
recognition. She was correspondent
for several Chicago newspapers and
at the same time kept her interest
in musical affairs, continuing her stud
les in composition. Before she went
to Paris one of her songs was sung
by Schumann-Heink in Orchestra
Hall, Chicago. In Paris where Miss
Lewellyn made her home for five
years, she was official correspondent
for Musical America and was a prom
tinent member of the music club. She
studied composition in Paris under
the great Vincent d Indy, and also
attended classes in singing and piano.
The study of voices became SO inter-
testing to her that she gave up her
composition work and devoted her
time to voice, making speciality OF
folk-songs. In 1911 Miss Lewellyn re-
turned to America and came to Bost.
on to the New England conservatory
where her beautiful voice and bril-
| liant dramatic and literary gifts are
winning many friends for her. The
American Review of Reviews used an
article of hers last spring. She studied
voice with Clara Kathleen Rogers,
formerly Clara Doris, English opera
singer, and is training in dramatics
under Clayton Gilbert, director OF
dramatic art in the conservatory. Her
recitals are largely attended. At a re-
cent Brittany programme OF folk-songs
given at the conservatory, Miss Lew
lellyn sang before Henry Russell, di-
rector of the Boston opera house,
Andre Caplet, French conductor OF
Opera In Boston Symphony orchestra,
and many noted persons of Boston's
Exclusive society. She was enthus-
iastically received by her critical audi
Ience. A bright future Is assured for
this versatile and attractive Kansas
woman Miss Leweliyn contemplates
Visiting Iowa this summer and Will
probably give a. series of folk-song
programmes in the state.
