Large Audience Gladys Swarthout sang in Memorial hall Wednesday night before a large and responsive audience. . :;: . .. Singing a difficult and a va ried program, which she .rend ered with ease, Miss Swarthout received a tremendous ovation after each piece. Her program ranged from difficult classical songs such as "Leave me to languish alone with sorrow" from the Handel opera, "Rinal do" to the lighter modern cha racter songs of Jacques Wolfe's "The Janitor's Boy," and Man ning's "Hop-Li, the Rickshaw Man." At the end of each of the four groups she sang, Miss Swarthout was forced to sing an encore before the audience would cease applauding. Her encores in the order she sang them consisted of "Songs My Mother Taught Me," by special request; "A Little China Fig ure;" "A House on Top of the Hill;" and she closed her con cert with "If I Should Lose You," from her last motion pic ture "Rose of the Rancho."
