The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-25

Madame Marie Sunde1ius charmed and delighted those members and subscribers of the Wednesday After noon Musical club who had the pleas Ure of hearing her splendidly bal anced program at the First Methodist church, yesterday afternoon. Her personality is delightful and would enable a singer whose voice was not as good as Madame Sundelius' to be considered altogether a success. She is entirely free from all affectation and was almost prodigal in the num- Der of encores she granted. Not the usual short encore but twice did she give arias, and this despite the fact that her program was fairly long. Her graciousness surely en- deared her all the more to her au- dience.
 Novel but most interesting were the Swedish Folk Songs a little group of which she gave at the conclusion of her program. After the last group she sang another Folk Song as en- core the quaint words being trans lated before singing them in her na- tive tongue. Then as the applause was most insisteat@she gave Arditfs famous waltz song, "Se Saran Rose, '' as a second encore and sang it sp1en-
 didly. Even after the long program | her voice had lost none of it's sweet ness, it's warmth or the bell like clarity of the upper notes. Another 1 encore, after she had sung a group of four songs including N1icaela's Song l from Carmen, and repeated, ''n 1 Neige" Bemberg, was the Musetta | Waltz from LaBoheme. Madame | Sundelius is a splendid artist and the l action of the program committee in 1 bringing her back to this city was appreciated by the members.

her work in Belgium, of her associa- ton with Edith Cavell, of meeting the King and Queen of the Belgians, and of the heroic defense of the homes made by the Belgian army. She also told of her work in other fields of the war.
 During the entire course of Miss O'ReiIly's lecture the most intense interest was manifested by the large audience, and except where applause broke out at some statement, one might have heard a pin drop so in tent were those present upon the words of the speaker.
 Many stories are appearing in the news dispatches from the fighting fronts in Europe of the combats in the air between the flying machines of the forces at war. At the Bridge port High school this evening Doug las Wardrop, one of the best posted men in the country in regards to fly ing, will tell attendants at the Chau- tauqua of the ''War in the Air." il lustrating his talk with pictures, both motion and steropticon. MT. Wardrop is a former secretary to ex- President Roosevelt, is a fluent talk CT, delighted the members of the University club on a. recent visit and his talk will be one of the features of the Chautauqua series.
 Two splendid concerts by the Bos- tonia Sextet of Boston and an enter tainment by Davis, "The Master Ma gician," will close the series tomol row. The Sextet will give it's first concert at 2:30 o'clock, and another at in the evening, which will close the series. This magnificent organ ization of musicians is known from coast to coast, has received the most f1attering praise from press and critics, and it's appearance here is one of the musical events of the sea son. Excellent programs have been prepared for both concerts. Miss Louise Reynolds, soprano, will assist | in the program.
