 The following from the Louisville Cou-
 rier-Journal in reference to the concert
 recently given in Louisville at the Mary
 Anderson theatre by Miss Margaret Will
 son. daug hter of the President, who will
 sing in Birmingham next week, will be
 read with interest: Margaret Woodrow
 Wilson's stately and gracious presence.
 bringing with 1t the associated thought Of
 earnestness of purpose. was met by q.
 pent-up spirit of admiration loyalty and
 gratitude on the part of the audience
 which created the likeliest possible att
 mosphere for an inspiring recital. Only
 a spark was required to arouse enthu-
 siasm, and this spark was furnished by
 the artistic intelligence of the singer and the sweet sincerity of personality which shone through the music. Miss Wilson has the power of losing herself
 completely in the mood of the song, whether 1t be the solemn enhancement of ! Deep River" the tender poesy of | "Homeward" the simple dedication of 1 "Laddie" or the rustic humor of The Low Backed Carr This power of ab sorption fits her especially for the sing ing of lieder as was apparent in the Schumann "Fruhlng shacht' and the
 dreamy poetry of Greg's Nit Finer | Wasserlilie" She is capable, on the other
 hand, of graceful vivacity, as in Strauss | 'Zueignung," and Gretchaninow's beauti- 1 full 'Il Sest Tu." Miss Wilson's voice
 is soprano of considerable range and l power and it has been admira bly trained. l Her clinaxes were given In all cases with
 adequate fullness of tone; her phrasng
 and diction were admirable. Her work l Is of the kind that appeals most strongly 1 to those who are able to recognize the subtle excellencies of style and technique. Yet the directness of her appeal, the uni versal quality of the sentiment of large number of her songs wins her audience en masse. The words of Miss Wilson's
 songs are the subject of infinite care. l It was not generally known that one of ] the poems sung last night was written | by Mrs. Ross David who added so greatly to the value of the recital with | her exquisite accompaniments and piano solos. This poem was ''I Came With i Song" the music to which was written l by Frank La Forge, who has set several other poems by Mrs. David. The English | words which added to the enjoyment of many hearers in the songs by Kaun and Rubenstein were translations by Cecil 1 Ccwdrey which are far superior to the craze translation. The large propor- ] tion of songs in English was a feature which doubtless added to the success of ] the recital, dIlnOuSn MISS WilsOI French was musical enough to be en- 1 joyed for it's own sake. Miss Wilson was gracious in regard to encores and very ! canny in choosing attractive ones. 1 Woodman's "The Open Secret" and "The Low-Bacl1ed Carr were added to the pro- gramme and Thayer's ''Laddie" had to be repeated
