This is the initial affair offered by the entertainment committee of the club this season, and it is announced that there is to be no guest fee. Refreshments are to be served in the lounge following the recital. Helen Hedges posseses one of the greatest lyric-coloratura voices of the age. Her appearances have beer, sensational, establishing her as an artist of the highest rank. Music critics in all the larger cities are most eulogistic in their praise of her brilliant voice, intriguing temperament and charming stage presence.

FINE CABINET WORK LACQUERING Aadbpan ~ SHOP: 112<4 GREENLEAP AVE. (In riCI') ENAJIELING true conception of the composer. Miss Hedges captivates her audiences from the very first number. Pauline Manchester is a brilliant young ·pianist who came to the notice of the public in May of this year, as the winner of the contest held in Chicago by the Society of American Musicians. Out of the thirty-two pianists competing Miss Manchester was adjudged the winner and her first recital appearance, and aftermath of the contest, created such great interest that hundreds were turned away. The press notices of this event show that she came through the test with ftying colors. University trained, with an intellectual endowment of a high order, her great musical talent being developed ent!rely in Chicago, under the tutelage of Howard Wells-Miss Manchester is admirably equipped for her chosen career. · I TEL.
