LAST NIGHTS CONCERT
A MUSICAL SUCCESS

There was a good audience present
last night at the City Auditorium to
listen to the recital by Sonya
Medvedieff, the popular young Russian
soprano, who has made decided sue
cess wherever she has appeared: Philip
Sevasta, the wonderful harpist, who
pleases audiences wherever he plays
his wonderful instrument, and Lee
Cronican, the pia mist. who has given
several pleasing concerts in Pueblo
before last night.
Miss Medvedieff was at her best and
sang with warmth and feeling. while
her enunciation was perfect. Her voice
is a lyric soprano of exceptionally
beautiful quality-sympathetic and
pleasing In every way.
Signor Philip Sevasta is a harpist of
distinction and his playing last night
proved him master of that wonderful
instrument-the harp His numbers
were given with a delicacy of express
sion and finished technique that proved
him worthy of all the praise that has
been accorded him.
Lee Cronican was even more pleas
ing at the piano than on former vis-
it's.
The audience last evening was not
responsive. which is to be regretted, be-
cause the concert was really good, and
Mary Logan Tent No. 2. Daughters Of
Veterans, is to be congratulated on
bringing such a trio of distinguished
entertainers to Pueblo.
