BRILLIANT PROGRAM FEATURES

The student contest In AsheVllle
was distinctive for the rare quality
Of talent displayed. Miss Gladys
Burns Stranahan, soprano. Of New
ark. n. J.. winner of the vocal con-
test. was said by many to possess
voice superior to any of the distln-
guished professionals appearing on
the program. 1t is with great inter-
est that Birmingham anticipates the
concert to be given here in tho au-
tumn by Cooper Lawly, another con-
test winner and former blrming-
lyric tenor voice Is said to be
equaled only by-.his unusual charm
of personality. HeTplans to tour the
state of Alabama. and of course, Biz
min CHAM will be included In his
Itinerary. Little Helen Pugh, IL
Sear-old pianist of Asheville. proved
herself a veritable child prodigy
playing the Beach concerto with the
festival orchestra most brilliantly.
The chorus of the Philadelphia
Music club was one of the outstand-
ing features of entertainment This
fine organization not only gave
most creditable performances, but
these so women came at the ex-
pense of their own club, wnlch
proves much since the financial Is
the acid test for all cultural organi-
cations. .-
The two new American compost
tons Spring in Sicily" and pan

featured, proved hopeful signs for the
future of American composition.

filled all expectations as something
really new under the sun-and
charming withal.
Two of the professionals 80 thor
oughly charmed the Birmingham
delegation that they resolved If pos
sible to arrange appearances for
them in Birmingham next season.
They were Miss Marjorie Maxwell,
soprano of the Chicago opera. who is
reputed to possess a voice OF rarest
quality, and John Powell, who needs
no introduction as a pianist any place
in the world. Mr.. Powell's playing
was characterized as genuinely cleo
trifying, and the powers that be IN
the Music Study club decreed that
the folks back home should not miss
out on these musical thrills II there
was any way around it.
Altogether the biennial must have
been most dynamic affair to SEND
the local delegation back home with
plans far more significant and ex-
tensiye than any heretofore contem-
plated.
