May 19, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Youthful Songster Scores a Success in Chicago Debut By R. L.P. Miss Lolita Bertling of Wilmette, who appeared with Cathryn Colvin, soprano, last Thursday evening in a recital at the Fine Arts Recital hall, displayed a soprano voice of promise. Miss Bertling has studied a little more than a year, and considering this and the fact that her voice is as yet im- mature, she did remarkably well. She possesses poise, and knows more about the art of song projection than many of the singers who have long since "arrived." Her tone is warm and rounded, although it lacks power, but this, will be gradually overcome by the years. Miss Bertling's first group consisted of short German lieder which were pleasantly, if somewhat breathily sung. However, . her second group, which commenced with Fourdrain's "Celle que Je Prefere" showed her to much better advantage. She employed a love- ly, sustained tone. Nerini's "L'Inseete Qite" and "Viens mon Bien Aime," by Massenet, completed this group. The latter was particularly well done and the audience demanded a repetition. In her last group, Miss Bertling made a distinct success of Koechkel's "Down the Stream," her voice showing rich- ness and flexibility. The high spot of the evening was her "Valse Ariette," by Strauss, sung in German. In this, a character sketch, Miss Bertling took the opportunity to show just how much talent she has. She sang with a sense of spontaneity and delight in the song, gesturing with unstudied grace- fulness, and attacking her high tones with an open mouth, and fearlessly. Her voice was altogether charming, and her diction, as in all her songs, perfect. One can predict an operatic career for her. A young artist whose growth will be watched with interest. The applause was very cordial, and there were many large floral offerings from her friends. Bremen Flyers Agree to Write of Experiences "The Three Musketeers of the Air" is the title of the book which will tell of the conquest by air of the Atlantic from East to West. Baron von Huene- feld, Captain Koehl and Major Fitz- maurice signed a contract last week with G. P. Putnam's Sons to publish a book of the thrilling adventures they encountered when, for the first time in history, they spanned the Atlantic by air from the East to the West. This book which is now being com- pleted by the fliers will be published in two distinct and separate versions, one written in the English language and one in the German language. The three men expect to have the book ready to deliver to the publisher in a few weeks--just before they start home, There will also be a special autographed edition of both the Eng- lisk and German versions.
