6SAN ANTONIO, TEX.—The Tuesday Musical Club, Mrs. Eli Hertzberg, president, presented Grace Wood Jess, mezzo-soprano, in a program of folk songs and ballads of many lands, visualized in costume, as the third artist in the series of four musicale teas being sponsored by the club, with Mrs. Joseph Choate King, general chairman, and Mrs. Leonard Brown, vice-chairman. Miss Jess is a splendid interpretive artist, having the ability to make her audience live each song with her. The capable accompanist was Raymond McFeters.
8Carol Robinson, pianist, was presented in recital by Our Lady of the Lake College. She played with beautiful tonal quality, displaying splendid technic. Miss Robinson will continue on her concert tour, but at its conclusion will return in June to fill an engagement as instructor in piano at the College during the summer.
10The Tipica Orchestra, Juan Torreblanco, conductor, was presented in six concerts by the San Antonio Mozart Society, David L. Ormesser, director, and Mrs. J. M. Krakauer, president. These concerts were most interesting from three standpoints—musical, educational and unusual. Music played was chiefly Mexican and Spanish. The instruments used were mostly Mexican or Spanish with the addition of the violin, viola, cello, bass and drums. Of particular interest was the playing of the six Marin brothers. The members of the organization were dressed in native Mexican costumes. The tone color of the orchestra was most unusual and exquisite. Samuel Pedraza, tenor, was the assisting soloist. His voice is of high lyric quality, beautifully developed. He appeared at each performance and proved a great favorite. A male quartet also sang delightfully, accompanied by full orchestra. Senor Torreblanco conducted with decisive beat and quiet authority.
