train which will bear her to Boston
where the married man who loves
her is waiting, instead of going to
New York as she had courageously
determined to do.
The play ends with the mother 8

Possesses Fine Voice
The program was brought to its
conclusion by Miss Eleanor Bryan,
a remarkably gifted young singer
who is the possessor of remark
able voice, and sang a group of
varied compositions. Lies Lar
mes, from Massenet s opera,
"Werther,' was chosen by Miss
Bryan for her opening number. This
difficult selection showed the range
and dramatic quality of Miss Bry-
an 5 voice, which has a mellowness
not usually found in one of her
youth.
LIN Cuba by La Forge, with
whom Miss Bryan studied in New
ork, furnished striking musical
contrast TO the first selection. THY
Brimming Eyes, (MacDowelD, was
pleasingly sung as the concluding one
of the group, after wlich Miss Bry
an gracIously responded with 1.-The
Night Wind,' (t'arley) as an en-
core.
No more successful affair has tax
en- place at the club this season than
that of yesterday. The arts and
crafts section luncheon which pre-
ceded the Ebel Juniors program,
was largely attended, covers being
laid for 135.
The club house was effectively
decorated for the occasion. Two ex-
hbiits, one of pencil portraits by
Herman Amlauer, Hollywood artist,
and another of Chinese art added to
the appearance of the auditorium.
Baskets OF purple lupin and Indian
paint brush, and smaller bouquets on
the tables. furnished q vivid color
note.
Amlauer Portraits Shown
OF particular interest was the eX
hibltion of Amlauer studies which
have recently been attracting so
much attention. These pencil por-
traits, which have been showing at
the Writers club at the Ebell club
in Los Angeles, develop a form of
art which, under the skilled pencil
Of Amlauer. shows unsuspected poss-
Utilities.
His portraits are pleasing both
for the excellent drawing, and the
effect of color which he somehow
seems to bring out in spite Of his
rather inflexibie medium. Portraits
OF number of prominent Los An
geles residents, including screen
celebrities, have been made by Am
lauer. His exhibition shown yester-
day included studies of Bert Lytell.
Friedrich Warde and Miss Amy
Philips, member of the Ebell
party.
Included in the Chinese art ex-
hibit were many beautiful antique
carved beads and 9th
er objects, many of which We're very
old few being under 100 yeyrs.
