''The Melting Pot
Miss Estelle Fielding, B. E., of Mil
waukee, who has gained wide popular
ity both as a dramatic, reader and d.
rector Of plays, gave selection from
Zangwell s t'The Melting Pot" which
has been dramatized. It is being re-
vived all over the country now that the
spirit Of AUGMENTATION has taken
such firm hold upon all.
The story deals with young Russian
composer who escapes from Russia to
seek peace and happiness in America,
the crucible Of all the European nation
alities who come here for liberty and
democracy. He attempts to write a
symphony which will unsteady depict
all the emotions aroused in persons COM
ing here from foreign lands and finally
wins recognition. A love interest is
woven throughout and while at first it
seems inevitable that there will be a
tragic ending, the story ends happily.
While Miss Fielding read most sympa-
thetically and displayed rare dramatic
talent it is impossible to bring out the
wonderful possibilities of "The Melt
ing Pot, In the cut form.
Numbers Well Received.
Mrs. Eileen M. Cavanagh, a lyric So
prano, gave two numbers which were
well received by her many friends in
the audience. Richard Francis gave a
group of three songs for the cello. G.
Saint-saens Cantabile, =. with its low
singing melody made particularly IA
vorable impression.
Miss Fielding's versatility was
brought out in the second group Of dia-
lectal readings, the first Of which gave
a portrayal of dramatic moment in
the life of a poor Italian. Dunbar g
Breaking the CHARM brought out
the soft melody Of this negro piece
while "The Youngest in the Family,
was filed with humorous lines which
were well brought out.
The last number on the program pre-
sented w. II. Schroeder, violinist, Rich
ard Francis as celloist and Mrs. w. FL.
Schroeder as pianist. ]. Haydn 8 ALE
gro and Andante was historical mum
Der which was very well rendered. Wi
dor S Serenade, was by far the bet
ter of the two numbers and its musi-
cianly handling was much appreciated
by the assemblage.
