Mackerracher. The meeting IS open to
all ladies of the congregation and
their friends.
An event long anticipated is the re-
cital which Miss Cora Mel Paten of
Chicago. literary interpreter, will give
a. the First Congregational church
Monday evening, Dec. 8. The recital Is
being given under the auspices of the
Drama section Of the Fine Arts club
and the direction of Mrs. Remington
and Mrs. Hutchinson. Miss Patten will
read The Pigeon by Galesworthy. A
new York paper says of Miss Patten
that she has dramatic power OF the
highest class; it is not outward gesture
or mechanical mimic every movement
of the hands or expression of the face
is guided and controlled from within
her brain, a mind temporarily possessed
by the dramatist whose play she reads.
She Is an actor and thinker combined.
She does not read simply, but interprets
the very heart of the drama to her
hearers. She knows and feels every
line she speaks; and she makes you
each play live again before one, as she
loans her body n mind and soul to
their real incarnation. This Is true art
and soul welded
