Miss Gertrude May Bleser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bleser of Glenview road, Wilmette, h~·s chosen September 20 as the date of her marria,ge to Clarence Martin Braun, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Braun of Evanston.

She will be married September 8 in her home to Frederick Ellis Hagen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Hagen of 1~7 Scot~ avenue," Winn~tka. Miss Lorna Doone Jackson, contralto of the Chicago Civic Opera company, again app~ared in o~e of the summ~r musi~ales at the Skokie Country club. Mal,lf of those who heard her la~t year were present on Sunday afternoon, August 12, when she ga;re the third of this season's programs, for they remembered that Miss Jack~on is not only good to hear but goq~ to look at, and that her artistry is unquestionable. Miss· Jackson's voice has deepened and grown richer since last year, and in the full-voiced phrases it showed a greater amount of power. This was quickly made evident in her ·o pening number, .. Stride la Vampa !" from II Trovatore, which you remember describes the burning of the Gypsy woman's mother. The famous organist of Notre Dame, Widor, was the composer of . the second number, "Non Credo," giving a French setting to a mysti~ poem of an oriental girl who doubted the divinity of Christ, until He made her blind father see. Miss Jackson's tones were delicately colored to follow the meaning of the word~. . and the dramatic note was well brought out. A tone poem by Maurice Ravel, "La Flute Enchante," followed, which was particularly enjoyed for its languorous bea~ty. The group closed with "Carnival." a brilliant picture of a mardigras, wliich won hearty applause. An encore was demanded, and Miss Jackson sang Sanderson's "Quiet," which please!! so must last year. It had the sustained rich tone that suited the wQrcjs ·so admiraply. Three moods of the Russian composen made up her third group, "The Skylark," by Gretchaninoff; "The Rose Enslaves the Nightingale," by Rimsky-Korsakoff; .and "Hopak," by Moussorgsky, all of which were interpreted appropriately. An amusing encore, "The Housewife's Lament .in the Springtime," and "By t.he Waters of Mivnetonka," were offered, the latter being especially well given. Miss Jackson would seem to have the makeup musically and emotionally to give ~t the right touch~ Her last group was composed of a variety of moods, Daniels' "The Song of the Persian Captive," Barnett's "The Singing Girl of Shan." Foster's "Dusk in June," Watts' "Wild Tears," and La Forge's "Into the ~ight." In all of them Miss Jackson showed a ·flexible voice that lent itself easily to the many different shadings. In response to the burst of applau~se bv the delighted audience, she gave "Habanera." the song th~ audience had waited impatiently for since the opef!ing of the program. Here was the irresistible charm of the immortal flirt, Carm~n, highly colored by Miss Jackson's own personality, and sung with the abandon it needs, b1.1t which few singers "get." An Andalusian folk song by Valverd~, "Clavelitos," brought tbe afternoon to a close. Miss Jackson was ·splendidly supported by Miss Violet Martens at the piano. Miss Ruth Stoker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dee A. · Stoker of 228 Myrtle strett, Winnetka, ha~ chosen September 14 as the date of her wedding. It wilf be at 8 :30 o'clock in her home.
