80 I Rr Cg WINNETKA TALK December 15, 1928 Marian Anderson Thrills Audience in Monday Concert By R.L. P. To put it very mildly, Marian Ander- son, gifted young colored contralto, was given a hearty reception when she appeared as soloist with the Little Symphony orchestra at New Trier high school Monday, December 10. Miss Anderson is endowed with a voice that is perhaps one of the greatest of this generation. She sang an aria, "O Mio Fernando," from "La Favorite," an opera by Doni- zetti, with orchestral accompaniment, and showed a voice of great dramatic power, full, rich and flexible. It was responsive and equal to all demands she put upon it. Wherefore her rendition of the aria was entirely satisfactory in every way. The applause she received y was thunderous, and she was called back again and again to bow her ac- knowledgement. Later she appeared in a group of songs with piano accom- paniment, and in these, too, she thrilled her hearers. The simplicity of senti- ment of Griffes' "Night on Ways Un- known has Fallen," the repose with which she imbued it, the sincerity of it} will linger in the memory. In the Quilter "Love's Philosophy," which fol- lowed, she proved that in lighter, gayer moods her voice is still beautiful and under control. As for the two negro spirituals scheduled and the two addi- tional ones given as encores, they would seem to be above reproach. The tex- ture of her voice and the sustained tone was a delight. Another encore, "Cuckoo," was charming. All thanks to the orchestral association for securing such a talented artist. The Little Symphony orchestra seems to be reaching loftier heights every time it plays.

The "Kammersymphonie," by Wolf Ferrari, which opened the program, was es- pecially well liked. Its German tex- ture and Italian lyricism made it se- ductive and tuneful, and it was given a delicate treatment. Lalo's Overture to "Le Roy d'Ys," described the pomp and color of a king's court, and Elgar's "The Wand of Youth," was enchanting. The latter was arranged for the Little Symphony orchestra by Mr. Dasch. Like lacy fairy tales or fragile toys were the six little pieces that make up the suite. The evening was concluded with an inspiring and forceful reading of the second Hungarian Rhapsody by Franz Liszt. Chords were clipped out, the broad outline was never lost sight of, and through it all was fire and spirit. Excellent work! Isabel R. Molter Returns From Tour of Southland Isabel Molter, well known soprano, and Harold Molter, accompanist, has just returned from a tour of the South where they have given recitals in Birmingham, Shreveport, Jackson, Miss., Dallas, Waco and Fort Worth, Tex.

This re- sponse to my program was SO warm and genuine that I was both happy and quite impressed."
