entitled to a $2.627,2O9 refund OF

amined.

Paradoxieal though it may
seem, Daisy Jean, Belgian cellist,
will be assisted by Daisy Jean,
Belgean soprano, in this city on
November IA at Central Com.
munity Center, when she appears
as, the second event in the Com.
munity Institute course of the
season.
Being a cellist, Of international
note. and likewise singer of
fame, Miss Jean in her own right
is able to give her own "joint
recital" This, combination has
made her a rarity among musical
artists, since she is the only re.
citalist now before the public who
does this sort of thing. To add
to this dazzling array Of talents,
Miss Jean is also a harpist. and
accompanies her own songs on
this instrument.
When she was 9 years old.
Miss Jean began TO study the
harp at the Brussels Conserva-
tory. Four years later she started
to study the cello as well. At
Ia she graduated from the con.
servatory with highest honors in
both Instruments.
Subsequently it was discovered
that she had a voice of great
loveliness. And so, she is really
a three in one" artist of inter
national reputation, and in her
recitals she gives two groups of
songs at the harp as well as her
cello numbers. Not only the
uniqueness of her accomplish.
ment but the high excellence of
her performance have made her
popular favorite both in this
country and abroad.
