Too much praise cannot be given the Montgomery MusU Club for the musical attractions whiel the members of this organization have brought to Montgomery this winter and they have done more than any clut to promote a love for good music, and to make this city known as a music center. They have worked untiringly and as a result music lovers have had the opportunity of hearing the Flonza ley Quartette; Mlscha Elman, the noted violinist; Paul Reimers, the well known tenor; the Russian Symphony Orches tra, and Sophie Braslau, who will come on the 30th of the month. Clab Has Brought Five Attractions. Five of the best musical attractions In the country. Is not this a record ol which any muslo club might be proud? Perhaps it Is not known generally, but nevertheless it Is a fact, that the Mont gomery Music Club only hopes to make expenses on bringing these artists to Montgomery, and not to place anything in the treasury of the club. In one or two instances, they have not made ex penses, and the treasury of the club suffered thereby. Sophie Braslau will be the last at traction of the year, and the Music Club nopes to have a splendid house to kr®et her. Surely the music lovers of the city will co-operate with the Mont gomery Music Club and make this last concert, one long to be remembered. Miss Braslau gave a concert last week In New York City of which Musical America says: "The glories of her voice, one of the finest contralto organs before the pub lic at the present time, her sensitive musicianship, her profound Intelli gence combine to make her singing a loy. Last week she surmounted the feat- of singing her recital on Sat urday- evening, directly after appear ing In Leoni's "L'Oracolo" at the Metropolitan on the same afternoon «.od at a concert at Carnegie Hall the evening before. Yet she sang thrlll ingly, without the slightest evidence of fatigue. And this because she knows how to uce her voice. The Improvement which she has made In this particular la notable since her successful per formance as soloist with the Sym phony. Soalety; this winter she has bepn working diligently to acquire certain qualities In the strictly vocal side of her work, which she has now accom plished. Her voice la freer, richer; she :an sound the Intense note more tell ingly and the charm of mezza voce is now an open book for her. Notable, too. In the English group was Harry's 'Across the Door,” one of the biggest songs that has come out of England In years.. Odell Hauser's "Love's Secret," In which the former assistant music critic of the New York Times made hla debut as composer, is a very -harming song. Miss Braslau was presented with a whole stage full of lowers and was applauded vociferous ly. In fact, so enthusiastic was her audience thaf several times It broke in with applause before the piano post lude was completed, thus marring the effect of the song." Delightful Meeting of Ionian Club at Home of Mrs. Will T. Sheehan The members of the Ionian Club en loyed the gracious hospitality of Mrs. Will T.
