SOCIETY NOTES
Social Gatherings Of the Past Week
in Wausau and Vicinity

THE MUSIC LOVERS OF WAUSAU
and vicinity will have an opportunity
to hear Selma Gogg, soprano, on next
Thursday evening, June Sth, at the
Grand Opera house. Miss Gogg has
been heard before in Wausau, her
home city, and local people know what
talent she possesses Her work has
received the highest commentator
in Chicago and other cities where she
has appeared in concert. Not long
ago she sang before 5000 people in
Medinah Temple, with 1000 people
seated on the stage, and received en-
thusiastic applause, responding to
many encores. Thte following criti-
cism appeared in the Chicago Jour
nal on May 4th, the day following
her last recital:
Selma Gogg made, at her recital in
Kimball hall last night, an extraordi-
nary display of the raw materials of
true song. The singer does what few
singers do-she excites the magma
ton and makes one wonder at the
riches hidden in the human voice.
"a good list of well-known songs
was handled in way to make them
new. The soprano ignored the estab-
them, it is tire, but they seemed new
because they were sincere and be-
cause the beauties of her voice light
ed up unusual spots in them.
'ThiS voice is one of the finest heard
here this year. The voice is dark and
free, pure in quality, and of remarka-
BILE variety of color. 1t has a sound
and healthy ring whether at top or
bottom, and even its last vibration has
that refined living beauty that can
blend into and enhance any emotion
the human heart can feel.
The first soprano aria from Aida
was more exciting than it customarily
has been upon an operate stage, and
songs OF Mozart and Brahms sounded
more beautiful than a level headed
person who was not there could be
persuaded to believe. Even some use
less music by Kramer, put to doggerel
had that lengthening and fading quail
ty which is one of the thrilling attri-
butes of superb music.
The young woman's voice, if used
upon the stage of the Auditorium
could rouse thousands. John Wieder-
hirn accompanied"
Selma Gogg has been most gracious
in singing for Wausau audiences with
out compensation. 1t is to be hoped
that the concert she gives on Thurs
day next will be attended by all Wau-
sau music lovers. The community
naturally feels proud of Selma Gogg's
achievements and by attending the
recital citizens will show their high
regard for her.
