Pendulum Eight
Annual Fiesta
At Quincy Club

Convincing evidence that the
members Of Chicago's sophisto-
cratic Pendulum Bridge club are
wide awake to the immense So
cial importance of their annual

last Sunday evening when more
than 200 socialites gathered in the
spacious salons of the Quincy

personal recognition from one or
more of the eight Creole beau
ties that compose the member
ship roster.
Words like picturesque, fasci-
mating, charming or impressionist-
ic are inadequate to describe the
sublimity Of the scene that met
the eyes Of guests as they enter
ed the foyer Of the club house to
be greeted by these eight lovely
hostesses standing regally in the
receiving line wearing the most
striking lace gowns Of various
hues and lowered headresses.
The men guests, handsomely at
tired in tails and white gloves,
the women wearing the most I'M
usual glamour gowns with con-
trasting accessories, gallons OF
Pompou "29', caviar and a sup
erb orchestra completed the back
ground for the most unusual Fl
eSta Of the season.
The affair was highlighted by
the genial encee performance OF
Esquire's suaVe salesman, ROOse-
Welt L. Robertson, who in his
Chesterfeldian manner presented
the members TO the guests amid
thunderous applause. This group
Of Chicago's young matrons, each

A large number Of TuskegeeanS

After disposing Of the regular
business Of the organization, Col.
Robinson turned the meeting ov-
er to the program chairman, DR..

Theodore Stone
Thrills Audience
In Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, May
Theodore Charles Stone, dis
tinguished baritone, gave his first
concert performance here Tues
day evening in the Douglass high
school auditorium before a large
and demonstrative audience. The
concert, presented under the au-
spices Of the music department
as a cultural features, proved to
be one Of the most outstanding
events Of the season.
The Texas-born baritone, whose
rise to international prominence
in the last few years reads like
a thrilling saga, selected a neat
ly varied program, ranging from
French classicism to contempOr-
airy Finnish songs, which effec-
lively displayed his rich timbred,
smooth and eloquent voice. The
singer revealed not only his gen
uine artistic accomplishments but
his superb showmanship as well.
Further evidence Of the singers
showmanship was manifest in the
brief history Of Finland, its Gus
toms and its people, with which
he prefaced his singing of five
Finnish songs, none Of which, to
our knowledge, has been heard
here previously. The Vehanen
folksong "Tuku, Tuku Lampai-
tani' with its gay infectious melo-
DIV, won the audience whole
heartedly. The Negro spirituals
included such favorites as Didn't
It Rain, ezekiel Saw De Wheel,
walk With Me, Lord and 'My
Souls Been Anchored In De
Lord"

desired. The attention is directed
to a central figure, that Of a Ne

effect is maintained but this might
well have been a political meet

band concert on the Mall. l see
that a young Washington artist
won the prize. Not all artists are

Maynor's performance with the

last Sunday was really exciting
and definitely an improvement
over her performance with the

go this winter. Breath control
seemed much improved and her
diminuendos were smooth and
clear. I have just learned that
Miss Maynor is to appear in the

November 80, 1871 .. The Chi

Their good impression in its first
performance at the Goodman the
atre last Sunday. Three ballets,
Classical Impressions, These Are
My People, and That Daring
Young Man, comprised the pro-
gram. The first, done to music by
Tschaikovsky, was far too I'M
certain in conception and in eX-
ecution. l should like to see it
after the dancers have learned to
do what the choreographer in
tended. The second ballet is
based on Langston Hughes LET

Of the poem was used as accom-
pan.ment for one section Of the
dance, a solo by Ruth Hatfield, CO.
choreographer with Marjorie Par
kin and Mix Krivitsky. Those sec
lions depicting the questioning Of
the youth, the people in the city,
and those on the land were more
than interesting. The movement
was strong, fluid and expressive.
Elevations and floor pattern were
well conceived. The first sec
ton "This Was their Dream" the
last, ''This was Their Faith" and
that on the Negro were none too
fresh. In fact they were more
than reminiscent of other mod

idea, however, is good. Execu-
