Mrs. Halliday Haight, a newcomer
to Salem, presented an excellent pro-
gramme at the First Christian church
Tuesday evening to large and appre-
ciative audience. Mrs. Haight began
the programme by singing @ Ave Ma
ria" by Gounod, 'ttNur wer die Selm
sucht' Tschaikowshy, "Ich Liede
Dich = by Fildenberg, the Gavotte
from Mignon, by Thomas, and "H
Bacio" by Arditi. Mrs. Haight s voice
is rich and flexible contralto, well
modulated. Her breath control giving
her great command of the MESA voce
and pianissimo as well as the heavy

by her fine Interpretation of Lists
Rhapsody No. s, and Grieg's "'To

displayed her fine gifts as a pianiste

paniments and Mrs. Haight s songs
were excellent.

proved herself TO be pleasing singer

was suffering from a. severe cold, and
was obliged to omit one of the numbers

with beauty of tone and clear diction.
Miss Bernice Clark, though young
deserves praise for the intel

difficult instrumental part to the quar-
tett She was at all time in sympathy
with the singers.
At the close Of the programme the
anthem was sung by quartet
and the audience joined in the chorus.

group of matrons TO her home for an
