June 1.a 1928 WIL .M ETTE LIFE 21 20th Music Fete Nursing School Students Begin Their Vacations Reaches Climax in Students in the Evanston Hospital Closing Programs School of Nursing are beginning now A magnificence of music such as has not been surpassed, probably, in the whole history 'of the North Shore Music Festival association, brought this season's festival to a pinnacle of popularity last Thursday evening. Seats that were empty in the earlier evenings of the week of music were every one of them filled, and from front to rear, up in the gallery anti in tiers at remote range from the great stage, thousands of people were packed into the audience that was moved to respond as one individual the superb program through. their summer vacations. Those at present enjoying a month's re's pite from training are Miss Lois ·Bartholomew, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. W. Bartholomew of 2109 Sherman avenue ; Miss Jean Byers, daughter of H. G. Byers, former member of the Northwestern university faculty, of Ne\v York City; Mi.;s Lois Brashears, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ]. W. Brashears of Wilmette; Miss Agnes Carpenter, daughter of Mrs. Mabel Carpenter of Winnetka and Miss Beth Ram sey, who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ramsey, in Morrison, Ill.

This program had · three distinct and different artistic characters-the gifted young opera soprano, Dorothy Speare ; a truly great master of the violin, Jacques Gordon, and the gt·eat chorm; of men's voices, numbering nearly 1,000 and made up from Chicago singing societies and choirs. Augmenting the latter, members of the indispensable A Cappella choir carried solo par·ts in solid unit, and when Dean Peter Christian Lutkin conducted these singers through their initial numbers, a majestic, magnificent roll and The Town club of \Vilmcttc enter-~ s urge of music ro~:;e and fell beneath his tained at a dinner dance in the \\'ombaton that bore the great audience breathlessly along, enthralled and enraptured. an's club la st Saturday evening. It is rather terrifying to think that there must come a time-long distant, it is fervently hoped- when the gentle little man of music will no longer be available for occ.asions s uch as these. Never was the rarety of his skill more apparent than when he evoked such glorious chorus movement as that of this combined chorus and choir. When he yielded its guidance to even so excellent a ·conductor a~:; Mr. Reckzeh, there departed a certain indes9ribable grace and gentleness lost in a continental vigor and force characteristic of Teutonic music. Mis~:> Speare offered a refreshing accent ' among festival soloists with her youth ful, unassuming charm and well-handled vocal _ e quipment. She sings delightfully with, at times, a flute-like tone altogether too rare in soprano voices in generaL She had the common tendency of festi\'al singers to choose selections that impress as mediums f('t·· technical display and disappoint the la) man who looks vainly ·or !JlUsic familiar to the average receptivPlays With. Effortless Ease Mr. Gordon plays with amazing ease and a skill so closely perfect that it seems entirely effortless. He chose th e Saint-Saens concerto in B minor in itl' three interesting movements. 1 Th~ sklging of the chorus went O\'er stupendously and several of its song!' were :mng twice in response to repeated and prolonged applause. It included in its offering the "Pilgrim's Chorus" and evoked insistent acclaim with its singing. Between Thursday's concert and the I concerts of Saturday, there was an eve- ~ ning's reprieve. Saturday afternoon was, as customary, devoted to the singing ot ' the great chorus of 1,500 school children, whom John W. Beattie, director of music in the public schools, has been preparing for months, and to the Chicago Symphony orchestra and Florence Macbeth, the soprano soloist. Tribute was I paid in the singing by the children of one of Dean Lutkin's songs, a setting of the 23rd Psalm, and they sang a charming, well-balanced and interesting series of numbers which had conclusion in four songs for boys' voices. M~ss :Macbeth had the good judgment to include in her numbers the "Shadow Song," and with it, as in her other offerings, she scored distinct favor. Saturday evening the festival chorus of 1,000 singers sang for the first time since .l\{onday evening, and Clare Dux, ~oprano, Lawrence Tibbett, a baritone, who fs a festi'val favorite of other seasons, and the orchestra, augmented their 1 number:s.
