Society Notes 
The song recital by Signor Gui- 
seppe Picco, Wilfred Kershaw at the 
piano, at the Masconomo hotel, Man- 
chester, last evening, was enjoyed by 
a small but thoroughly appreciative 
audience. Signor Picco possesses a 
voice of wonderful depth and richness 
of tone and he sings with an expres- 
sion and charm that carries his audi- 
ence with him from the start. His 
rendition of the Toreador’s song was 
superb and received a well merited 
encore. Mr. Kershaw at the piano 
was all that could be desired. His 
rendition of the Sextette from Lucia, 
for the left hand alone, was excep- 
tionally fine, showing not only a com- 
plete mastery of technique, but a 
power of expression and sympathy of 
touch betokening the true artist. 
The most fashionable gathering of 
the week was that of yesterday after- 
noon at the home of Mrs. Charles 
Head, in Manchester, when the sec- 
ond in the series of musicales arranged 
for Iriday afternoons was_ given. 
The artists yesterday were Miss Bessie 
Bell Collier, violinist, and Lawrence 
Rea, baritone. The third musicale 
of the series will be given Friday, 
Aug. 16, at the home of Mrs. Thomas 
McKee, Beverly Farms. 
The open air performance of “As 
You Like It,” tonight at the outdoor 
theatre built in the woods near Essex 
County club promises to bea grand 
success. Society all along the Shore 
is greatly interested and a large audi- 
ence is assured. The players arrived 
at Manchester yesterday and are reg- 
istered at the Masconomo. Last night 
a rehearsal was held at the theatre, 
which was followed by a dinner at the 
County club. The weather today 
gives assurance of clear skies for this 
evening’s performance.
