} week both collectively in closing school
exercises and individually in final re
eital presentation. Among the latter
was Miss La Won CoppOek, whose grad
uation from the professional course Of
the Fish School Of Expression was
marked by most entertaining recital
Tuesday night at the Commercial club
auditorium. Miss Coppoek was to have
been presented last month by Mrs.
Anna Rogers Fish, but was forced to
postpone her recital TO later date ow-

Mrs. Fish, were Mrs. Marguerite El-
liott, Mrs. Blanche Howard, Mrs. Rich

lmatic temperament and specialized
training, Miss COppoek is admirably
adapted to child impersonation, her
program Tuesday night including a
number of remarkably clever readings,

ments and whimsical observations Of
youth. A gift of visuahzing the desires
and thoughts of children in general,
land imagination to interpret the fan
eies of childhood in swift change from
the half wistful expression to the i'm
lpetuous gesture or the Tilt of child
laughter bids fair to carry Miss Cop
peck long way either on the stage or
in the teaching field. A keen sense of
humor revealed from the viewpoint of
"a younger sister was delightfully."- de-
veloped in Miss Coppock S interpreta
tion of "The Eternal Feminine" by

ception of the author s sympathy for
children always prevalent in the dia-
leet verse of those two widely loved .

from the audience.
