FIRST FACULTY RECITAL ENTHUSIASTICALLI
RECEIVED
The first in a series of song recitals to be given by
the faculty was very enthusiastically received by tie
Saint Mary’s girls and outsiders Monday night. f®’’
Horn, the new voice teacher, accompanied by - iss
Scott at the piano, had planned a program of vvell
known songs. Her poise and charm were effective addi
tions to a beautiful voice. Among the most popular
selections were Dehussy’s “Mandolin and Romance,
“Carneval” by Fourdrain; and Strauss Zwe^nung.^^
Hi English were “Phyllis Has Such Charming Gr^es,^^
“Sometimes,” Walther, and Puccini’s “One Fine Day
H'oni Madame Butterfly. Miss Horn has not only a
talented voice but one that commands the attention of
her listeners. Her experience and constant study of the^
past few years was definitely shown in the quality of
her voice and the ease in which she sang her songs. _
Another highlight of the evening were the violin
selections by Mrs. Dorothy Alden, who was accompanied
hy Mr. Jones at the piano. Her undoubtable talent was
shown in the pieces she played, by Kreislei^ jLende s-
®ehii, and a popular one of Shubert’s, The Bee. Ad-
*bired by everyone, she was called back to the stage
Several times.
In conclusion, Miss Horn sang several encores in
answer to the appreciative applause of the audience.
“Mtho Is Sylvia ?” “Songs My Mother Taught Me,
and “The Yellow Hammer” were the closing selections
that topped a really excellent program.
bramatio club attends PLAYMAKERS’ first
PERFORSIANCE
On Saturday, October 22, the Carolina Playmakers
Pi’esented their first performance of the season at Chapel
Hill. A large number of the Saint Mary’s Dramatic
^lub members attended it, filing impressively into
Memorial Hall, taking up several rows of seats, and
throughout behaving like the well-mannered little ladies
they are supposed to be. The play, Boom Service, was
exceedingly amusing: It was concerned with the desper
ate situation of producer, two friends, a disillusioned
plavwright, and a play which could not be produced tor
lack of capital. Startlingly ingenious attempts ranging
from pretended illness and forged checks to pretended
suicide and insanity were made to secure food and
money and to keep the hotel bedroom, the only lodging
of the four. . i
The actors did exceedingly well in spite ot bad
acoustics. Especially noteworthy vvas the hysterical
hotel manager who could not get the mad men out o
their long overdue room. , j-
Weak from laughter at the end of the performance,
the Saint Mary’s girls renewed strength with ice cream
and drinks secured at a nearby drug store. I he girls
returned in their special bus to a sleeping school of
unlighted windows. They enjoyed creeping through a
dark hall past silent rooms and felt a delicious thiill
at being able to guiltlessly turn on the lights at mid
night.
