FLORENCE COLE-TALBERT CAPTIVATES AUDIENCE First Appearance of Famous Artist in Omaha a Marked Success—Ren ders Pleasing Classical Program Miss May belle Clark, Pianist, Shares Honors With Her A large and appreciative audience which filled the auditorium of Grove M. F. church greeted Mrs. Florence Cole Talbert, the famous lyric soprano and winner of the 1916 diamond medal awarded by the Chicago conservatory of music, on her first appearance in Omaha. Mrs. Talbert’s accompanist is Miss Ma.vbelle Clark of Cleveland. Both young women arc artists of the first rank. The audience was well re paid by the excellent program ren dered. It was a classical program of superior merit from the opening to the closing number. Mrs. Talbert has a striking stage presence, a charming personality which places her at once en rapport with her audience; and a voice of singular sweetness and tonality under perfect control, which she uses with wonderful interpretative power. Her opening number was “Now Hark to the Gentle Lark,” by Des sauen, and "I’ve Been Roaming,” Old English. Her second number was a trilogy of Negro Spirituals by P t: "Pm So Glad That Troublp Don’t Last Always,” “Somebody’s Knocking at Your Door” and "Follow Me.’ This was followed bv a triad, “Summer’ by Chaminade; “On Wings of Song” by Mendelssohn, and "The Wind’s in the South” by Scott. A s an encore she gave “The Pav I Get to Heaven.” A group of traditional Indian songs evoked pronounced applause. They were “Invocation to the Sun God” by Troyer; "Pakoble" (The Rose) and "By Weeping Waters,” the two latter by Lieurance. For her last number on the program, aria “Charmont Oiseau” (Brilliant Bird), by David Mrs. Talbert substituted by request the selection for which in a class of sixty and she the only member of her rare was awarded the diamond medal Aria from “La Traviata,” by Guiseppi Verdi, which she sang in Italian. This number thrilled her audience. She graciously responded as a closing number with a soulful ballad, "Going Down the Pathway to Home Sweet Home.” Miss Clark’s accompaniment wag perfect and she contributed two bril liant numbers to the program as solos “Meditation” by Tchaikowski, and “Rondo Capricciose” by Mendelssohn. Miss Clark’s gracious manner and de lightful personality contribute also to her artistry. The recital was given under the auspices of the Helpers’ dub and was a financial as well as an artistic suc cess. The Monitor cannot refrain from favorably commenting upon several features of the local arrangements for the recital. First it was noticeable that the program began practically on the advertised hour, 8:30; secondly late comers were not seated during tlio rend't’on of any number, and thirdly, the platform was g>ven on artistic setting befitting the occasion.
