The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1922-03-23

Running the gamut from grand
opera to the simplest of negro 1nelo-
dies, Miss Anna Fitziu captured her
audience from the moment that she
stepped upon the stage last night at
the Pensacola High School auditor
ium. when she sang under the auspices
Of the Music Study club of Pensacola.
Beautiful, and with a lyric soprano
voice which has the timbre and the
range that few singers of today can
rival, Miss Fitziu possesses also that
rarer gift which comes only to those
who are capable of playing emotional
roles, as well as singing delightful
arias.
Notable as Actress.
At times, particularly in the last
cycle of her songs, she reached great
heights not only as a singer but as an
actress, proving herself to be the ar
tiste which she has been acclaimed.
And 50 gracious was she that her
audience at times completely lost
sight of the fact that even the most
famous OF singers must need to rest
for a moment between numbers.

Miss Fitxiu.
Her clinging. sheathHlle gown of
white satin was fashioned en- traine,
the round neck was just low enough
to admit string OF pearls about her
throat and the sleeves long and close
" fitting her beautiful arms, the eff
feet of simplicity being accentuated
by the manner in which her hair was
arranged, simply parted in the middle
and puffed slightly, with a deeply
crimson rose tucked into the left side.
A great orange colored fan of ostrich
plumes gave another touch OF color
and diamond ear pendants subtracted
from the simplicity of her
costume. which was strikingly beau
tfful.
Her dark brown hair seems almost
black. wonderfully dark are her eyes
and sweeping lashes, about her there
can simulate, and in spite of her
height and her fame, she has Il GER
tain girlish charm that is distinctly
appealing.
Miss Perrenot
Miss Perrenot shared honors with
Miss Fitziu, and her reception was
most cordial. Many in the audience
had known her when she made her
home in Milton and many had also
known her distinguished father, and
they gave her an ovation, not only on
her appearance with Miss Fitziu as
but also later when she
gave three piano numbers.
Miss Perenott is a graduate of the
Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, as
we'll as having studied under masters
n New York City, and not only is
her technique good but she has some
hing more than training--the charm |
hat comes only from music which is |
an expression from within.
