led from pitch a shade throughout
the program. A noticeable feature of
her singing. and noteworthy because
seldom found in amateurs. is the even
development of the registers. Her
program was arranged to show to ad-
vantage her powers of execution that
can result only from hours of work
and training in the technic of vocal
art. One of the hopeful things about
her singing and the promise of her
future, is the work she has done in
the fundamental principles that
make for correct singing. Her breath
control is remarkably good for so
young a singer, and the relaxation of
the muscles that allows free play of
the voice was something few begin
ming singers have attained,

The embellishments were light and

ROSE GIlBERG REVIEW

The success of the benefit concert
given Friday night by Rose Gilberg at
the Grand opera house far outreach-
ed the expectations of it's promoters
and it's friends. The house was COM
fOrtably we'll filled, and the program
was teeming with interest, from first
to last.
Rose Gilberg, a young girl 10 years
old, who has studied less than a year,
(ten months, to be exact, with in
.struction every day the past two
mOnths), was able to sing a program
of eighteen numbers, including diff
cult opera selections, numbers in Ital-
ian. French, German and English, and
without a scrap of the music or words
before her. Her diction in all the Ian
guases is good. best perhaps in Ger
man, which is her mother tongue. Her
German songs included 'Standchen,'
the famous Schubert Serenade, and a
group of three songs. The Serenade,
with piano, flute and violin accom-
paniment, was beautiful number.
Die Lorelei was sung with dramatic
ability and in good style.
Miss Gilberg's manner on the stage
is animated but entirely unaffected
She was frankly pleased with the re-
ception she got from her audience,
and her apparent confidence in the
good will of the people before her was
calculated to disarm any unfair criti-
cism or unfriendliness, if such a spirit
existed anywhere in the house. A
moments lingering on the stage after
her songs were finished gave a touch
almost of childlikeness to her man.

A Team of Turtles.

Rex Basler. youngster OF six. liv-
Ing at Darien, Wis. u. s. A, has prob
ably the strangest driving team in
the world-a team of eight snap
ping turtles. from fifty to seventy
five years old, weighing about thirty
pounds each. Rex has tanned these
creatures, which naturally are cav
age. and they draw him in his ex-
press wagon like ponies driven by
other children. although they are not
likely to shatter any speed records.
The youngster learned that turtles
could be tanned while watching his
father catching turtles for the New
York and Philadelphia markets. Per-
suading his father to give him some
of the largest. he finally grouped
them for driving team. and they
seem to enjoy the sport as much as
