The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-06-05

Recently they gave & series of con- certs in the east, and Rose has just
 returned for this extensive trip. An niston is proud to claim these two young women as her own for the violinist is equally as gifted as the singer and when they both appear in concert the combination is a rare~one. Their vivid artistic power instantly awakens the keenest interest and | sympathy and their beautiful embodi-
 ment of ease and grace can but charm any cultivated audience. And so the whole effect of an evening with these artists Is a charm that melts, grace that wins and joy that is rare and | delightful.
 An enthusiastic crowd of business women gathered on Tuesday evening
 at their club room on Noble street for an informal luncheon and to enjoy a splendid programme of stunts" after a short business session. Miss
 Bessie Russell presided over the busi- ness session and the only matter of importance was the appointing of del- egates to the convention of the Ala bama Federation of Business and Pro- fessional Women's clubs, which will
 occur in Birmingham soon. The fol- lowing women signified their intention of attending. the Birmingham meet ing: Miss Russell Miss Mary Bare,
 Miss Emma Lee Mable, Miss Helen
 Pope, Miss Ruby Stankard. Miss Ruby
 Porterfield, Miss Jewell Ellis, Mrs Ray
 New. Mrs. NJ M. Kennedy, Mrs. B. A.
 Mcnohan.
 The stunt" part of the programme was arranged by Mrs. New, who made
 very happy speech in introducing this feature of the evening. 4 most
 excellent take off" on the movies was presented by cast composed of Miss Charlie Alice Warnock, Miss Geneva Wright. Miss Kathaleen Williams.
 Miss Ruby Andrews and Miss Dorothy
 Sterne. The title was, wild Nell, the
 Pet of the Plains" and the sketch of each scene was read by Miss Annie Porterfield. As the secretary, Miss Ruby Nonnenmacher, called the roll, | those present responded with a stunt" or contributed a dime to the treasury. Among the best and most entertaining
 surprises were a solo by Miss Florine Andrews, dance in cap and bells by 1 Miss Emma Lee Mable, a very charm ing toast to the club members, the president, Miss Russell, the hostess.
 Miss Brewer. to Mrs M. L. Payne, who successfully manages the cafe, to Col. W. H. Finn. who recently enabled the mana cement to beautify the club room and a number of others who have con- | tributed toward the success of the or | ganization were mentioned. A rare treat was given by Miss Pearl Sterne,
 who announced that she would do as her stunt" some negro melodies which she had learned from her old black nanny. Miss Sterne has most at- tractive voice, full of melody, and it
 is particularly fitted for such songs as she rendered. It was easy to see
 that she had caught the spirit of her songs from one who had sung them
 with genuine feeling. There were
 many solos and readings, which were
 worthy of mention. but in the report of the judges they asked that the prize be drawn for by Miss Sterne | Miss Gertrude Hamb1eton Shepperd.
 Miss Brilla Mae Lloyd, Mrs. New and Mrs. Monohan, as they were unable tc reach a. decision as to who was the
 real winner. Mrs. New was success
 full in the draw and awarded a box oi candy. Her rendition of the First Settlers Story" was charmingly given
 and would have done credit to a pro-
 fessional reader.
