This society is not only helping its thirty-two active and sixteen associate member.; to keep up their interest in music and their own talents, but it is aiding the cause of music in general along the north shore. Aside from the important fact that one concert a year is given that is operi to the public, the society's monthly meetings keep all of the members posted on music news and continually inspires them to further \ develop their talents. They think and talk music, and who shall say they are not materially helping to bring about a great renaissance in music, when everybody will be musically intelligent and taking an active part in music? One wonders if there can be a national music feeling in any country until each citizen is a musician. Trio Pleases The artists programmed last Monday evening have found time to prepare themselves for a creditable public appearance. though some have also the responsibilities of housewiYes and mothers. The program opened with the "Allegro Vivace" movement of "Trio in F M a j or" by Schumann, played by Bertha Dubbs, violinist; E,;telle Swigart, 'cellist; and J e~n MacShane, pianist. This movement is perhaps not so interesting others by Schumann. but the trio made its way through it easily and pleasantly. Frances Copthorne. soprano, followed with a group of well chmen numbers. beginning with Verdi's air from Rigoletto, "Caro Nome," followed by -Ferrari's "Le Mirroir." The first showed excellent high ~ones and good breath control; and the second, quietly lyrical. was beautifully sung. Warr~n's "Children of the Mq_on." and LaForge's "Into the Light," completed the group. but an encore was demanrled. A lullabY, "The Sandman." again showed the delicate texture of her voice, and won much applause. Winifred Townsend Cree started off her group of violin numbers with a gypsy dance, following with MacDowell-Auer's "With Sweet Lavender," and "A Bohemian Dance" bv Randegger. She played with feeling, and the second number was especially well liked. A negro spiritual, "Nobody Knows de Trouble I Seen," was offered as an encore. Mrs. Cree showed firm bowing and· capahle fingers. Dorothy Cordts showed a plca·.;ing contralto voice, particularly in the lower regi:;ter. singing such compositions as Donaudy's "Spirate Pur Spirate": "T('s Yeux." by Rabey; and Coates' '·J Heard You Singing-." in a chat:mingmanner. Sibella's "0 Bocca Dolorosa." Carpenter's '.'Serenade," and Deems' Taylor's "Spring in Town," were also enthusiastically received. Sings Beautifully Olive Ahara possesses a soprano voice that i·s rather light but exquisitely sweet and clear, and she sin ~s persuasively. Her re11dition of the "Jewel Song" from Faust delighted the audience Schubert's "Who Is Svlvia ?" and "Du' Bist Die Ruh"; and Richard Strauss' "Standchen," formed the rest of he·r group. EJecta Austin demol!strated what nimble fingers can do m ance was professional in every way ~~e~,sky's "The. Cuckoo," and Doh nan~ Yt s Rhapsody tn C M~or," completed her pa_rt. Excellent accompanying work was gtven the artist·s by Ernau Akely . and Margaret Geppart. .The stage was attractively decorated w~th large bouquets of bridal wreath Wltl~ a touch of red gladioli, and th~ audience, composed of music lovers of th.e north shore and Chicago, was fnendly and appreciative.
