24 WINNETKA TALK November 10, 1928 Kenilworth Club Offers Its First Musicale of Year Helen Hedges, soprano, and Pauline Manchester, pianist, are to present a musicale at the Kenilworth this eve ning at 8:15 o'clock. This is the ini- tial affair offered by the entertain- ment committee of the club this sea- son, 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 been sen- sational, 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. The rarely beautiful quality of her voice, her vivid imagination, romantic sense, the unusual intelligence with which she invests each song, bring to her interpretations the seldom realized 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 Chi- cago by the Society of American Musi- cians. Out of the thirty-two pianists competing Miss Manchester was ad- judged the winner and her first re- cital 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 flying colors. University trained, with an intellect- ual endowment of a high order, her great musical talent being developed entirely in Chicago, under the tutel- age of Howard Wells--Miss Manches- ter is admirably equipped {for her chosen career. The Alpha Phi girls of Northwestern university had a tea at their sorority house on Orrington avenue, Evanston, Sunday afternoon for the alumnae. NEAREST THING TO INVISIBLE!
