WAGE TE1~ THE CANADIA1~ STATESMAN. BOWMANVflLE, ONTARTO THURS1~AY, NOV. 4~. 1948 Firsi Lions Club Concert Offers Grand Display of Musical Talent (By Gregory Frlend) On October 28th the first De- purtment cf Education concert cf the current season, sponsored by the Bownianville Lions Club was presented to the Bowmanvile public at the High Scbol auditor- iumn. Before a large gatbering cf local citizens four artists dispiay- ed their exceptional talents througbout the course of the ev- enlng in musical selections rang- Ixig fromn "Cockies and Musseis" to "The Lord's Prayer." Tbe four performers were Earl Dîck, tenor. Donna Grescoe, violinist, Dori.ý Swan, colorature soprano, an2 Mary McDanald, pianist and ly- rie soprano. Earl Dick opened the programn with that regular standby of ai' miale singers, George Frederick Handel's "Where'er You Walk.,' from the opera "Semele," fol- lowed by three folk sangs, "cock- les and Mussels" by Yorkston, "Charlie is My Darling" and the coy "Ôh, No Jchr,' by Samerseti For bis second graup Mr. Dick chose Franz Sch-uoertl's whimsi- cally deiightful -Die Florelle" or "The Trout," vI.L.a somne cf you may recognize as the theme mo- tive cf Surdz-&y morning's "The Ccr.cert Alburr' on CBL. "Die î orelle" was fcIlowed by another o! Schubert's unrivalled Lieder, I the world frmous "Standchen" or E£cern-de. Franz Schubert's in- ible ability cf writing sangs for ahana acco npanirnent ranks the *Lieder toget'ner with is Unfinish- cd Symphony in B miner as some of the vorld's greatest musical literature.- Mr. Dick's rendition cof the Serenade, in bis sauve, eu- pheniaus style impressed every- one, but his rather heartless treat- ment of "The Trout"' did not con- Ivy with geat effect the delicacies THaTREï - B-OWMANVILLS THURS., FRI., SAT. - NOV. 41 h - 51h -61lh Technicolor Cartoon Short: "Hula Magic" MONDAY - TUESDAY \ T77 I AND THE mm a - NOVEIN of this dainty sang. The bis- trionics he carried on in the lat- ter selection may have made it clear to the audience what the words of the German poet were, but a really standard concert ren- dition of a sang such as this per- mite a singer ta convey the ex- pression of what he is singing only by means of words in sang. Mr. Dick concluded the official part of his second group with Ro- dalfo's aria from La Bobeme, "Che Gelida Manina," "Your tiny band is frozen," where Rodolfo and Mimi find love in a tiny Paris garret during the first act of Puc- cinî's great Opera. Mr. Dick's rich tenor vaice indicated that this was an outstanding future raie for him, in Toronto or else- wbere, and bis exceptionally ver- satility of sang, ranging from the ballad ta High Ooera, indicated that be is, and will be, successful in any type of concert be may be required ta sing. Donna Grescoe, probably rank- ing with Leona Flood as the most celebrated violinist ever heard in Bowmanville, played first the well-known Violin Concerto in D major, by Weiniawski. Her ar tistry, touch and uncanny techn. cal abilities li this chef d'oeuvi of violin concertos brpa-.ght gasç from the crowd which acclaime her in vehement fashion. Fo her second graup the comely Mis- Grescoe chose Schubert's "Ave Maria," Claude Debussy's "La Fille aux Chevaux de Lin" and Aaron Copeland's parody an the country fiddles, tîtled simply 'Hoe Down."~ Responding ta the acclaim of the audience, Miss Grescoe played as an encore "The Canary," -by Poniatowski. A bigb- ly descriptive piece cf. music, it brougbt the bouse down. Deligbt- fui was the word!1 Doris Swan's first offering was a typîcal Mozart composition, "Das Veilehen," cf "The Violet," followed by the ever-papular Waltz Sang from Charles Goun- od's spasmodieally-beautiful opera "Romeo et Juliette." Although inclined ta be shrill at times, Miss Swan dispîayed a fine and power- ful colaratura voice. In singing Mendelssohn's "On wings cf Sang," ber excellent shading and dcpth cf tone acbieved for this piece a newý,-found ]ovelincss. "Ouvre ton Coeur" by Georges Bizet opened Miss Swan's second graup of sangs, followed by Grieg's "My Johann," which is really one cf the famous com- paser's Norwegian Dances. Miss Swan ended her part cf the con- cert with "Caro Nome," "Dearest Name," from Guiseppe Verdi's matchless opera of greed. averice and mi s f o r t u n e, "Rigaoletta." Gilda, the bunchback Rigoletto's daughter tbinks cf ber lover, the Duke, wbose name she bas just learned, and expresses ber feel- ings in this poignant aria. It was especiaiiy in the role cf Gilda. by the way, that Lily Pans gained reco4nition and won world fame. Mary McDonald opcned bher part of the pregram with Robert Schuman's dedication ta bis wife Clara, entitled simply "Widmung" or "Dedication." Miss McDonald played this selection fiawlessly, but somne inner feeling for the piece, written by anc cf the great. est musical romnanticists, seemed ta be lacking. The next number wvas Edward MacDowell's Con- cert Etude, which samewhat res- embled tbe numerous higbly dif- ficuit piano pieces cf Liszt, who designed them ta show off bis marvellous dexterity at the key- board. One cf these was bis Por- aphrase on the Quartet from Ri- goletto, and it was the next num- ber on the program-truly Grand Opera on the -piano. Miss Mc- Donld showed the audience why she bad chosen twa cf the bardest concert Etudes in existance, for ber uncanny technique mare than mastcred them. It was most ex- hilerating ta watcb ber play the octaves. tentbs and lightning runs in the Paraphrase as if these bad been originally intended by Ver- di. As an encore Miss McDonald sang and played Rossini's "La Danza."

Work of Children's Aid Society Must tNot Be Curtailed The Cbiidren'a Aid Society of the United Counties cf WoTrth- umberiand and Durham are bold- ing a campaign for funds ta help carry on their work cf protection for youtbfui Ilves. The campaign opened on October 25 and will run througb ta November 6. The Society's work cf rescuing littie cnes from a home wbere the environment is little short of criminai must flot be ailowed ta lag because cf lack cf funds. Funds raised by public subscrip- tien are used pnimarily for the work cf the Protection Depart- ment wbich does net benefit from grants cf the Provincial Govern- ment or the Counties Councis. Protection work is the tirelies efforts cf workers of the Society ta keep homes together and ta1 raise the standards and ideals cf inresponsible parents. To break up a home is always a last resort and every effort is made ,ta prevent this. Funds are needed ta aid this effort bath for its social and fln- ancial effect on the ccmmunity. Useful hard-warking citizens are an asset, neglected children grow- ing into useless or even criiminal men or women are a liability. Anotber little known work of the Society is to belp the un- married mother ta regain ber confidence and place in tbe com- mnunity. Many cf these unfortun- ates bave been. assisted througb trying times and the child placed in an environment wbere in fte years a useful citizen bas resulted. Children entrusted ta the cane cf the Society are almost entirely cared for tbrougb foster homes. In some foster homes the upkeep cf the cbild is paid for completely, by the Society, this upkeep includ- ing board, clothing, medicai and dental care. A few are boarded free in homes whene the foster parents bave taken a child Into, the family and care for it as one cf their own. There are also wage homes wb ere aIder youths earn their living by work around the home or farm. Chiidren who become wards cf the Society remain sa until 21 years cf age and are under the supervision cf the Society during that time. At the present the United Counties Children's Aid Society bave 244 children under its supervision. This ha no light task for this small group cf work- ens and a lack of funds can ser- hously hamper this imDortant work and make this task so much more difficult. Much bas been done but every day bnings new problems ta this group cf workens whose sole aim is ta ring bapiness into the lives cf chflden living in broken hom- es under appalling conditions which must bp seen ta be be]ieved. The remoulding of these young lives into useful members cf the communltv is a full time Job ne- quring tinlimited patience and sympathy, but these things alone cannat fulfili this alm. Funds are more necessary today than ever before and any amount given for the children cf today is ane cf the finest investinents that can be made-an Investment In the youtb of tomcrrow.
