MISS GOOD Entertainment
Rose Gilberg's Singing Delightful, But
Last Nights Audience Small.

The concert given by Rose Gilberg
at the high school auditorium last
night deserved a much larger audience
than the one which listened to her
delightful and unusual singing. Miss
Gilberg's art has met with an enthusi-
aStic reception from Topeka audi
ences, but since her last year of study
in Chicago she has improved so much
that those who heard her last night
were more than pleased with her
work. She has remarkable control of
her voice and her exquisite little soft
notes which at the same time are SO
easily heard are one of her chier
charms. When she wishes to sing
with volume, she can fill a large audi
forum with her voice. Mrs. Henry
j. Dotterweich, who accompanied her,
played with unusual sympathy and
feeling.
In the one-act play, ''Hatikvo,' -
Miss Grace Scrinopskie was noticeable
by the sincerity and beauty of her act
ing. There was something really fine
about her work as the blind daughter.
Miss Rebecca Gartner acted her part
admirably and her song was pleasing.
Mrs. S. Galitsky, Miss Grace Lillian
Scrinopskie filled the other two roles.

dress during the entertainment. as
