<EI)C IPiiHilmu Jlloil. VOL. XVI Reed Recital Not for many months passed have the people of Winslow had the opportunity to be entertained in such an artistic manner as upon the evening of the 20th, when Miss Jessica Reed, hand somely gowned, made her initial appearence before our music lov ers, in her Song Recital. Promptly a 9 o’clock the pro gram was begun. The opening, “Slave Song” by Teresa Del Riego, simply captiva-j ted the audience, and her success tor the evening was clearly as-1 surer!. In the rendition of“ Swallows” bv F. B Cowen. she was in ex ceptionally good voice. Her ease aud grace betokened the self possession of one of many years in the profession. “If Thou Wer’t Blind” by Noel Johnson, was very faithfully in terpreted through expression and modulation of tone. These three selections happily showed her wonderful ability of variation of voice. “ Pasquinade,” Gottschalk, per formed by Mrs. D A Lenhardt, was very enthusiastically re received, and evidenced her ex ceptional capabilities as a mu sician; this number elicited an encore. “The Message” recited by Miss Selma Woods, was a varitable revelation to the audience. Pretty, graceful and tastily at tired, bv expression and gesture, she won hearty appreciation j which was characterized by loud applause, to which she responded with a selection in darkey-dialect. 1 “Invocation,” by Guy D’Harde- i lot, was the next of Miss Reed’s numbers, and the same was ren dered very effectively. The young lady had the happy faculty ofi interpreting her selections so ! perfectly and pleasantly. “Gypsy Love Song,” by V. Herbert, presented thoughts oft ! repeated in poetry and song. The variations of the melody proved very enjoyable. “Slumber Boat,” by Jesse Ga- ; nor, was another number of the j program enthusiastically re-j ceived. < “Deutsche Fantasie,’ by D. < Krug, op. 333, was another evi- ] ilence of Mrs. D. A. Lenhardt’s ' musical accomplishments. “Good Bye,” by Tosti, was 1 rendered in her usual happy man- ' ner. One thing to be said of the voung lady’s repertoire was that 1 there could be scarcely any pre ference in regard to her selections; ' WINSLOW, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, APRIL 24-, 1909 they were all so well chosen. “One Spring Morning,” by Ne vin, like those preeeeding, especi ally well received and appreci- J a ted. “0 Heart of Mine,” by Leigli ter, was the closing theme. Reluctantly did the audience disperse, not, however before Miss Reed’s friends had expressed to her their appreciation of the evening’s pleasure, and assured her that a bright future awaited her in her chosen profession. An informal luncheon to Miss Reed followed the rendition of the evening s program. Accompanist, Prof George An derson, Blanchard Building, Los Angeles, Cal. See Dr. Swigert's ad today.
