THE EVENT OF THE WEEK,

the Monday Music. Club was a most
decided success in evey sense of the
yord. From an artistic standpoint, it
was n of the best programs ever
given in Mexico by local talent. The
opening number wal "Moonrise' by
Czibulka, and "Mammy's Little
Honey" by Tracy, sung by the chorus
of thirty voices, directed by Miss
Maude Wallace and accompanied by
the Hardin College orchestra and Mrs.
O'Rear at the piano. Both numbers
were well rendered and much enjoyed
Caprice Brilliant (Mendelssohn)
played by Miss Mary Bark with Mrs.
Abbie Snoddy at second piano, was
unusually well done, both musicians
have a finished style and touch par
ticularly well pleasing. This was fol-
lowed by the Quartette by Mrs. W. G.
Wilkins, Mrs. Thurman Stallings,
Capt. Wallace and Capt. Moore, who
sung "Madrigal" from the "Mikado"
and Swing Along which was a most
delightful number.
Mrs. Melville Paul who is one of
Mexico's best musicians played Rem
do Capriccio" and as an encore played
a delightful selection by Raft, which
pleased her hearers greatly. Capt,
Moore who has won the hearts Of
Mexico audiences with his excellent
singing was in splendid voice and de-
lighted his hearers with three selec-
tions; "Bid Me To Live (Hatton),
'Where'er You Walk" (Handel,) and
"Oh Night Speak Of Me" (Chadwick),
and was generously applauded. 'The
Sextette from Lucia" is always en-
joyed and proved to be even more so
as sung by Mrs. Wilkins, Mrs. F. N.
Henderson, Miss Victoria Brooks,
Capt. Wallace, Capt. Moore and Capt.
Scheter all of whom have well train
ed voices and well suited for this
number. The first part of the pro-
gram closed with two delightful nuns
bers by the chorus, "Mendelssohn
Spring Song" and "The Years at the
Spring by Beach, both of which re-
ceived much applause.
Mrs. F. N. Henderson who is rec
ognized not only in this city, but
everywhere she is known, as M of
the most talented and best dramatic
readers, gave King Robert of Sicily"
by Longfellow. Her Interpretation of
this could not be excelled, her manner
forceful and convincing. To add to
the splendid artistic effect was the
singing Of the Magnificent" by the
quartette behind the scenes and the
accompaniment on the organ through
out the reading by Miss Mary Banks
and piano accompaniment by Mrs,
Snoddy. The music was written es-
pecially for this poem and the atten-
ton of the audience was held closely
to the end of the reading.
