In the fourth season Of its ca
reer the Apollo club will give it's
second and final concert of this
season on Wednesday night, May
4, at the armory.
Immediately after the first con-
cert of the season, given last jan
uary, the club earnestly went to
work on the program which will
be sung on May 4, and which, in
the judgment of some of the mem
bers, will carry a more genuine
appeal to the musical public than
has any program previously given.
Most of the numbers, it is said,
are well-known favorites, which,
when rendered ensemble with
male voices, enhance the beauty of
the selections many fold.
AS soloist for the next concert
the Apollo club has engaged Miss
Virginia Rea, a brilliant colora-
tura soprano.
Although of distinct French
type, Miss Rea, who is making an
extensive concert tour this season
under the direction of the Inter,
Concert bureau, is proud
of the fact that she is of an old
family, dating back in
this country to Revolutionary
times. Miss Rea's later successes
in concert and opera showed the
wisdom of avoiding the short,
spectacular career of the child
wonder, and she now possesses
the versatility and firm musical
which enables her to
sing the most difficult arias with
that natural ease and perfection
which is the achievement only of
true art.
Flawless technique, mastery of
diction, phrasing and expression,
would count for little, however,
were 1t not for her voice, natur-
ally brilliant in tone, range and
