The Women's Alliance of the Unitarian
church held it's annual musicale in the
North church parlors last Thursday after
noon. There was large attendance of
members with the North Church Circle
and Guild as special guests. Mrs. Clement
w. Wescott, chairman of the Alliance
music committee arranged the program,
one of the best given in recent years, and
also made most interesting presiding
officer. In her opening remarks she said
that it was to be regretted that we did not
have more music of the higher class 1t is
there is so much jazz and that its rage
has caused what is called jazzitis. jazz is
not music and is not written by musicians.
She then spoke of several familiar operas
of the higher class including those of Gill
bert and Sullivan and in this connection
complimented the work of Mr.. E. S. Pit
cher vino in former years staged and used
music of the higher class. We owe much
to Mr. Pitcher for cultlvating in many in
Belfast taste tor good music. The first
number on the program was the overture
from the Mikado beautifully rendered by
Mrs. Allan M. Howes and Mrs Thomas f.
Bowker. The latter very kindly at short
notice substituted for Miss Marguerite II.
Owen, who i'll. After speaking in
formally of the opera of Robin Hood by
Reginald DeKoven, Mrs. Wescott render
ed an overture from it on the Victrola.
Mr.. John Parker sang the Armorer's Song
and Mrs. Melvin o. Dickey the contralto
solo, o Promise Me. Both were heard
with pleasure and were accompanied by
Mrs. Wescott. Mrs. S. A. Parker read a
brief sketch of the beautiful Italian opera,
La Gioconda by Ponchielli, the scene
of which is in Venice. The selection from
this was the Blind Girls Song Angelic
Voce, rendered by Mrs. Wescott. 1.-THE
Stories of Hoffman" by Offenbach was
read also by Mrs. Parker and the Dance
of the Hours and Barcarolle were given
on the Victrola with Mrs. Wescott sing
ing. This was very delightful feature
and received the most favorable comment.
The last selection and one of the best was
the contralto solo, Sunny Boy, sung by
Mrs. Dickey with Mrs. Bowker as accom-
PIANIST. Mrs. Wescott had been ill for some
time with the prevailing epidemic ana
the effort on her part was fully apprecia-
ted by all who knew the conditions. The
entire program was far better than many
concerts heard here in formal entertain
ment courses with professional artists.
Mrs. H. E. Mcdonald will be hostess of
the Alliance this afternoon.
