THE TREBLE CLEF BRILLIANT CONCERT
-
GIVEN IN THE BAPTIST CHURCH FRIDAY EVENING
-
It Was a Success from Both an Artistic and Financial Standpoint
-
The Treble Clef concert which was given at the Baptist church Friday evening was a most decided success both from an artistic and financial standpoint.

The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The platform and choir rail being covered with white buntings and graceful trialing vines were festooned every where. Drooping bouquets of carnations stood about in tall crystal vases and beautiful sword ferns added to the general effect.

The concert program was a full one. The Treble Clef club gave a most pleasing program, one which was varied from the more classical to the more light and popular selections.

Their voices blended beautifully and they showed the most careful training in their chorus work. The soloists with the exception of Miss Seltzer appeared on the program. Miss Nora Hunt sang a group of four songs which were very well received. Miss Hunt has a pure contralto voice which is wonderfully pleasing. Miss Mella Taylor and Miss Ferris sang the beautiful Evening Prayer in Prittany with the Treble Clef chorus. Misses Davis, Depew, Ferris and Mrs. Darling sang a number including two songs. Their voices were most harmonious and their rendering was most pleasing. Mr. Fred Daley sang "A Song of Thanksgiving" for the next number. Mr. Daley is always a favorite and was received with storms of applause. Mrs. Emma Fischer-Cross gave two brilliant piano solos. Mrs. Fischer-Cross is a most talented pianist and gave a most artistic interpretation of two most difficult numbers. Her touch is as light as that of a fairy or powerful as occasion demands. She was generally applauded by the audience. Mrs. Kerr was probably the favorite of the evening. She sang a group of songs which were well calculated to show the beautiful qualities of her voice, which is a soprano of wonderful range and sweetness. She responded gracefully to a generous encore. Miss Lelia Farlin closed the program with "The Lady of Shalott." Miss Farlin's voice is one of the sweetest in the city and the audience went home with her sweet tones ringing in their ears to dream of the feast of melody which they had heard.
