PROVIDES TREAT FOR
MUSIC LOVERS
Florence Cole-Talbert, Prima Donna
Soprano, Sustains Reputation
As Mistress of
Song
WINS FAVORABLE COMMENT
Renders Delightful Varied Program
OF Exacting Proportions, Which
Revealed Proficiency In
Musical Art

A cultured AMI appreciative audi
ence, numbering over 400 persons of
both races, welcomed Florence Cole
Talbert, who gave a recital at the
Strand theater, Monday night. All
who attended were fully repaid by
the excellent program rendered
1t was five years since Madam Tai
bert had been heard in Omaha and
she, favorite then, has improved
with the passing years. Her study
and work abroad and in grand opera,
has made her finished artist of
song.
The recital was sponsored by a
committee of women under the chair
manship of Mrs. John Albert Will
liams, and was given in setting be-
fitting such artists as Madam Talbert
and her accomplished accompanist,
Miss Edna Heard, graduate of the
College of Music of the University
of Southern California. The stage
was attractively decorated with
stands Of flowers loaned by the Gaze
bel Flower Shop, and palms loaned by
Pleasant Green Baptist Church.
Mrs Florentine F. Pinkston, the
well known pianist and music teach
err, herself a graduate of the New
England Conservatory, has written
the following review of the recital:
The musical season began with a
song recital of Nine. Cole-Talbert at
the Strand theater, Monday evening,
September "a. The concert has been
much commented on for its excel
lence.
Nine. Talbert sang with great quail
ity of tone which strongly reflects an
active personality, and the infections
Of her singing have the valuable
tang" of sincerity.
Without exaggeration, and with
clear vivid tones, and excellent enun-
citation she sang the whole program.
Mozart's Alleluia was especially
finely sung, by reason of masterful,
clear tones, technique and expression.
aida" was sung with super-abund-
ant vitality and dramatic expression.
Haydn's with Verdure Clad" was
sung with delicate sense of melody,
charming and sincere expression.
MONITOR SEVEN
She sang the Folk Songs with great
tenderness of feeling.
Three encores were given with an
endearing charm of voice and person
atty.
The request numbers were received
with great appreciation.
Edna Rosalyne Heard, the accom-
panist, played with great understand
ing, excellent rhythm, good technique
keeping with the singer with notable
precision.
Please allow me to add what pity
ii was that there were so many vacant
seats. Try to do better when our
next artist comes to Omaha. :
Much praise is due Mrs. Lucinda
Williams, the chairman of the COM
mittee, in sponsoring this, and other
recitals, that have been given in
Omaha. Without such women as
Mrs. Williams, and those who helped
her, the artist could not succeed, as
it takes people of their timbre to
put "things over"

The following appreciation of her
recital by August M. Borglum, the
well known music critic of the World
Herald, and Martin w. Bush of the
Bee-News, were published in their re-
spective journals:

The first concert of the season was
given at the Strand theater on Mon
day evening when Florence Cole-Tal-
bert, prima donna soprano, was pre-
sented in song recital Of interesting
numbers from the classic, operate,
and romantic literature of music.
Winning her audience from the
first by her charming stage presence
Madame Cole-Talbert fulfilled the ex-
pectations of the flattering notices
that had preceded her. Her voice is
lyric soprano, very brilliant and
well trained, capable of doing beau

work, and exquisitely finished phras-

Nelson Trowbridge, manager Of
the Shubert theater, Cincinnati, has
been very fortunate. He has had
only one or two dark weeks after
getting a very late fall start.
So far there has been no definite
announcement concerning B. F..

city are urging the early return of
the Stuart Walker company, which
is now in Cincinnati.
Indications are that Charles Ber-
kell will get an early opening at
English's. No definite date has been
fixed for Berkell. I would not be a

Newspaper editors and special music
