Representatives from the Fcrtnightly
/ club, Mrs L. o. Weakley, Mrs. Mary
Kinnaman Sauer and Miss Dorothy
Nash.
These three visiting artists know,
not only how to give a program eff
fectively, but also how to select one.
Each one appeared on the program
with an old and classic selection and
with a group of modern numbers,
giving the spice of variety to the after
noon and wide range for the dis
play of their interpretative and tech
meal skill. Mrs. Weakley, the most
mature musician of the three, is a
teacher of voice in St Joseph. She
has had foreign training, and has
won some laurels in New York. Her
contralto voice is rich and powerful,
with a wide range from it's upper to
| its lower notes. Her trillS in any of
| the registers are swift and light as
| those of many a coloratura soprano.
She sings understandingly and her
art is finished and scholarly. She sang
! from Meyerbeer's opera, 1.-The Proph-
/ modern French, The Tears Fall in
| My Soul" by DebusSey, and one from
tho modern Russian, Floods OF
Spring" by Rachmaninoff. Her en-
core numbers were THE Wind in the
Chimney and Beloved it Is Morn
Miss Nash was the soprano of the
! trio. She is a young singer with a
voice of much promise. Her voice is
/ high and clear and unusually flexible
| She is attractive in appearance. q
pretty, dainty young woman OF blonde
/ type. She sang from Meyerbeer's
| opera, Robert the Devil" and q
group of songs in English, "A June
Morning" IF You Would Love Me-
BE Ye in Love With April-Tide," an6
"a Burst OF Melody" For an encore
she sang Wake Up"
