NINE. CLAUSSEN
BRINGS EVENT TO
CLOSE IN GLORY

The Chautauqua for 1916 is thing
OF the past.
Last night at the big Chautauqua
tent on Jackson street was concluded
the last of the series of the weeks en-
ttrtainments.
AS fitting and convincing evidence
of the appreciation of these Chautau-
qua entertainments at the hands OF
Americus people, the largest crowd of
the season heard Nine. Julia Claus-
sen and her assisting artists in song
and music recital. The many eulogies
and enconiums of praise that had pre-
coded her were more than sustained by
Nine. Claussen in her various rendi-
tions. Her selections were choice and
just such as appealed to the senses of
the vast audience that greeted her. En-
core after encore called her back to
the stage, she responding in manner
delightfully."- appreciative of the ova-
ton being shown her. The commen-
dation given Mme Claussen by the
press has not been overdone, as is Of
ten the case, but on the other hand is
meagre, as compared with her great
ability as a grand opera singer. 1t
can be truthfully said of her that to am
extraordinary voice she adds admira-
BILE qualities of Interpretation and eff
fectiyeness,- as well as versatility. She
also possesses a wonderful range OF
voice, almost unique among contraI-
tos, in that she preserves a character
istic quality of tone, even In her high
notes. She was ably assisted in the
enings entertainment by Pierre Hem
rotte, as violinist, and Marcel CharIier
as pianist, and well did they render
their parts, thus adding no little to
the success and enjoyment of the ev-
ening's entertainment The program

in a blaze of glory. and when the cur
tain had gone down on this, the last
number, the large and appreciative
audience wended its way homeward in
the full realization of the fact thar

programs; likewise they were en-
ttusiastic in the knowledge that this
same Redpath organization will re-
turn another year to again delight. en-
