There was almost a constant
stream Of friends coming and go
ing at the handsome new resi-
dence of Professor and Mrs. T. S.
Roberts on north Summer street,
both Tuesday and Wednesday eve
nings of this week, the occasions
being in the nature of informal
open house.
On the initial night Kiwanians
and their ladies were bidden, the
affair celebrating the first ami
versary Of the organization. A de-
Ilightful musical program was ar
ranged, being given on the sec
ond floor in the beautiful and
spacious auditorium. Piano num-
bers were contributed by Miss
Louise Findley and Donald
Schaupp, with Mrs. A. J. Rain,
Mrs. Edwin Socolofsky and R. D.
Barton appearing in vocal solos.
Miss Iva Claire Love gave a vio-
lin number Accompanying these
musicians were Professor Rob-
erts, Miss Findley and Miss Lu-
cile Ross. Rev. Blaine E. Kirk
patrick spoke briefly outlining
the purposes, past and future of
the club.
Kiwanis emblems were much in
evidence, and happy incident of
the evening was the presentation
of large bouquet of yellow
chrysanthemums by Kiwanians to
the hosts. These were added to
the decorations of the rooms,
which remained the same for
both nights, and were comprised
of vivid hued autumn leaves,
marigolds and vari-colored chrys-
anthemums.
Coming as an enjoyable sur
prise was the radio numbers, re-
ceived from the Salem Electric
broadcasting station, put on by
the Kiwanis quartet composed of
Henry Compton, Edwin Socolof-
sky, r. D. Barton and Harry
Gwinn.
Wednesday night Professor and
Mrs. Roberts extended a most gra-
cious welcome to their friends,
again arranging an informal
musical program for their pleas
ure. A feature of this occasion
was the singing Of Mrs. Halle
Parrish Hinges, who was accom-
panied at the piano by Mrs
Frank Zinn. Mrs. Malcolm Ramp
of Brooks, followed her with vo-
cal selections, Professor Roberts
accompanying her. Miss Love
Iagain gave violin numbers; Don
aid Schaupp piano selections
lwHh Professor Roberts closing
the program with the Kamennois-
trow by Rubenstein, Mrs. Roberts
reading the descriptive analysis
preceding the rendition.
Each musician was obliged to
respond to encores, and supple
menting the regular numbers was
a radio concert.
1 Viewing of the entire house
followed, with collation. being
served later. Mrs. Roberts was
assisted at this period by Mrs.
Harry Weiss, Mrs. Henry Morris,
Miss Edna Hall and group of
small girls. >
1t comes as pleasing news to
their friends that Professor and
| Mrs. Roberts are planning a SER
les of similar musical evenings
during the winter.
| The acoustics of their auditor
ium are described by local musi-
clans as being Of particular ex-
cellence. Mrs. Hinges, in com
menting upon the room, said
| "Salem may we'll be proud t
| have in its midst home of sucl
| splendid equipment for musica
affairs. 1t seems wonderful to m,
| that someone has had the inge
nuity and spirit of altruism tt
create such a place and open 1
to his friends. Both vocal and In
strumental music can be heart
at it's best there, and / dare say
that not many private residences
are equally equipped in any othel
city the size of Salem"
