That the appearance of the Roya
Belgian concert trio at the O. c. w
next Friday night, for the benefit OF
the Belgian babies, gives Chickasha
an opportunity to attend for 30 cents
concert that would ordinarily cost
SO to $5 a seat in some of America s
J larger cities, and could not, under
common conditions, be brought to
Chickasha at all, is pointed out by
/ those in charge of the concert here.
Credentials prove that these artists
are exactly what they represent
themselves to be, the top in the mu-
sical profession in Belgium and en-
tertainers of royalty.
Belgium has given many stars to
the singing and terpsichorean stage,
and the members of the Belgian Roy
al Concert company, who will appear
at the college, rank with the most tai
ented that have been seen in Ameri-
ca. These clever artists have been
sent here by the Belgian ambassador
at Washington, Baron de Cartier Mar
chienne, and they have recently clos
ed a tour Of 170 concerts in Canada
for the purpose of helping Belgians,
but their efforts are now confined to
raising money for the babies of Bel
gium who are being cared for in HOl-
Iand, and the money raised in this
way goes directly for the support of
the little ones in this impoverished
country.
This Belgian trio is composed of
Mile. Daisy Jean, cellist to the queen
of Belgium, harpist and singer; Mile.
Gabrielle Radoux, of the Antwerp
Royal Conservatoire, and Jan Col
lignon, baritone of the Antwerp opera
house Mile Radoux, at the age of
twenty, was made professor of the
pianoforte at the Royal Conserva
toire of Antwerp. She is also a COM
poser and a gifted singer. Mile. Dali
sy Jean is not only an accomplished /
musician with her cello and harp, but
is also a trained speaker. M. Collig-
non is considered the greatest of Bel
gian bartones.
The Belgian trio will give a first
class musical concert that will be a
real treat. Besides these brilliant
musical numbers, the program fea-
tures a deeply interesting talk on
conditions in Belgium and other al
lied countries by Mile Daisy Jean,
who speaks English charmingy.
The following letter has been re-
ceived in Chickasha from the Bel
gian minister to the United States,
in Washington;
"This letter is to introduce Madem-
oiselle Gabrielle Radoux, who repre-
sents the Royal Belgian Concert
Trio" composed Of herself, Mademoi
selle Daisy Jean and Monsieur Jan
Collignon.
"These Belgian artists organize
concerts to raise funds for the relief
of Belgian babies, especially for the
benefit fthe "Oeuvre de la Sante
de rEnfance beige"
"These funds are sent to me by
Mademoiselle RadouX, who is author
lied by me to receive the proceeds
of the concerts. It is desired that
statement of these proceeds be for
warded to the Belgian legation by the
organizing committees, and a dupli-
cate Of such statements be handed
over 10 Miss Radoux.
These three artists have already
given in various cities of the United
States, concerts which have helped
materially the 'Oeuvre de la Santa
de TEnfance beige They are devot-
ing their time and talent to the meri-
torious work OF relieving the suffer
ings of the young Belgian children
and they have my heartiest support
