AT HOTEL CONCERT

Gale yesterday afternoon surpassed
all those previously given because Of
the artistic singing Of Ethel Hepburn.

star, who obliged with three numbers
that revealed her wonderful voice in
all its richness and beauty. It is no
reflection on any of those who have
sung previously at the Hotel DUPONT
concerts to say that Mrs. Hephurn's
voice and finished style and method Of
singing were the best yet heard there,
for she has won a place high in the
musical world by her vocal artistry. A
pupil originally Of Madame Sellitsch,
of New York and with a wide eXper-
ience in grand opera, Mrs. Hepburn
also toured the country as soprano
soloist with Sousas Band. Her voice
is full, rounded, with remarkable
warmth and as revealed yesterday un-
usually flexible and OF superb range.
From vibrating, colorful lower tones
she glided easily TO true top tones
robust in their richness that won for
her round after round OF applause.
After Mrs. Hepburn's first number

which made a profound impression,
