September 1, 1928 WINNETKA TALK I Howard Preston Is Next Artist for Skokie Musicale By R. L. P. Sunday afternoon, September 16, will bring the Skokie Country club musicales to an end for this season. _ Under the direction of Mrs. Dwight C. Orcutt, artists of high standing have been engaged, and the fact that ca- pacity attendance always greets them proves that these Sunday afternoon musicales are popular. Howard Pres- ton, of the Chicago Civic Opera com- pany and the Ravinia company, will give the entire program on September 16. Meanwhile, there is the delightful musicale of last Sunday, August 26, to be remembered. Miss Helen Hedges, soprano, and Richard Wagner, 'cell- ist, both pleased with their executions of highly interesting programs. Miss Hedges gave a brilliant performance in spite of the fact that the day before she was unable to speak, due to a severe case of grippe. Her tone was transcendently beautiful in rapid pas- sages, in ornamentations and in sus- tained phrases. At all times she sang with an appearance of ease, but those who have had experience in singing over a cold know the strain involved. Her numbers were of a modernistic trend and they seemed to be exactly suitable for her voice. Color and warmth, an amber quality, was im- mediately apparent in her first num- ber, "Cantares," by Turina, and in "Swans," by Kramer, she had the clear, thin flute-like tone. "Las Locas por Amor," about women who are "crazy for love" was another delight. All her numbers were gracefully sung, with delicacy and power artistically used. She is a fine artist. She was accompanied by Charles Lurvey, who accomplished the rare thing of being exactly in time with the singer, hardly missing her rhythm by as much as a hair. Richard Wagner proved that the 'cello is indeed coming into its own. He opened with Goltermann's "An- dante from Concerto No. 3," in which he showed a fine appreciation for the spirit of the music, with warmth in sustained phrases and clarity in the decorations. In Popper's "Concert Polonaise," he rose to an impassioned climax and then changed the mood to one of melting melody. Debussy's "Ariette Qubliee," had the peculiar warmth of tone given alone to the 'cello. Other numbers, Rameau's "Menuet," Brandoukoff's "Elegie," and Perrin's "Gavotte," all showed a fine understanding of the music and a thorough mastery of the technique. He was enthusiastically applauded and came back with such happy encores as "Le Cygne," and a LaForge "Melo- die." He was given expert accom- paniments by Grace Leach Orcutt. The only regret this critic felt was that the accompanists didn't have a better piano to play on. IN CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS Miss Estelle Swigart, cellist, George Swigart, violinist, of Wilmette, and Mrs. Helen Hawk Carlisle, pianist, will present a series of chamber music con- certs at the North Shore hotel in Ev- anston from 8 to 9 o'clock every Sun- day evening until December.
