Gives Notable Concert at the Audtori-

Southern Melodies.

1t is our good fortune to have had n
passing visit during the past month
from one of Denver's former residents
and noted song artists, in the person
of Nine. Il. Azalia Hackley.
Known and loved by all of Denver's
old-time citizens, Nine. Hackley re-
ceived hearty and royal welcome
upon her arrival here by her many
friends. While entertainments, dinners
and receptions were rendered her by
admiring friends she found time to put
together and train large chorus of
Denver's best musical talent and went
forth to the city auditorium to show
what Denver musical folk could do.
Aside from being gifted songstress
Nine. Hackley is a born leader and
organizer, and has the rare quality of
imparting to others the art of singing.
A large and appreciative audience
greeted her and the chorus on last Fri
day evening at the auditorium.
The chorus showed patient, careful
training and sang very sweetly and
feelingly, and was all that could be de-
sired.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the concert was the remarkable
folk dances by the little children which
must have delighted the hearts of the
fond parents.
The concert was a rare treat and
highly praised by all who were foftu-
nate enough to attend Mime. Hackley
has done us great service and we
welcome her Mt all times.
