WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1923 DEBUT RECITAL WINS AUDIENCE Karstrom Delights in First Appearance On Monday night, February 26, Adele Crenshaw Karstrom, contralto, assisted by Elizabeth Layman Ann- ing pianist, and Leonore Falk Harris, accompanist, gave a recital at the Winnetka Woman's club. Mrs. Karstrom, for the first time, presented herself to the public in a purely professional capacity and, in spite of the fact that it was a debut, she was well poised and sure of her ground. One did not feel, as is so often the case, that the first number was sacrificed to nervousness. As a foundation for the excellent work Mrs. Karstrom has been doing with Mr. Sacerdote, she possesses a full, rich contralto voice of great power and beauty. Her diction is excellent and she creates atmosphere with her songs. They are all well chosen and the program was a varied one. The second group seemed to find especial favor with the audience and Mrs. Karstrom undoubtedly did her best work in the Rachmaninoff number. The last group held two favorites, "The Gypsy Trail" by Galloway and "As We Part" by Ilgenfritz, which were also most popular with the audi- ence. Mrs. Karstrom responded twice with encores. Mrs. Harris accompanied Mrs. Karstrom in an absolutely satisfac- tory manner. She was at all times the accompanist, never a soloist, and her accompaniments were most artistic and a splendid support. Of Mrs. Aninng's playing, only the very finest things can be said. She is an artist pupil of Mr. Clarence Fidam and plays with great technical * skill, beauty of tone and an absolute feeling for her art. Her group was most enthusiastically received by the audience, and she responded with an encore. It is unfortunate that Winnetka does not avail itself of such a musical treat when the opportunity is so close at hand. Those who did not hear this recital are indeed the losers. - Mrs. Peter Blasius, 385 Birch street, is striously ill with influenza. LAWRENCE M.
