NVOIRMISEHS SH Oi EB Rebbe Zi 
fellow club was read, appealing io 
club members to help save the birth- 
place of Longfellow from immediate 
foreclosure of mortgage. The Port- 
land club is making an heroic effort 
to preserve the birthplace of our best 
loved poet as an international mem- 
orial. If every club in the United 
States would contribute one dollar— 
or 1f each member would give ten 
cents, the mortgage could be paid. It 
was voted to contribute five dollars. 
The club was especially fortunate 
in having Madame Wilhelmina Wright 
Calvert, known as one of Boston’s 
favorite singers, and one of the great- 
est concert sopranos in New England. 
She rendered five songs. In the first 
group—Arditi’s “Magnetic Waltz,” 
and “Thoughts Have Wings,” by 
Lehmann; and the second “Gypsy 
Maiden I,” by Parker; ‘Dedication,” 
by Franz, and Tolsti’s “Good-bye 
Summer.” The last song was a great 
favorite and showed wonderful range, 
power and fine voice control. 
Miss Dora May Marshall was ac- 
companist, and played with pre- 
cision and sympathetic technique. 
The musical program was varied by 
two readings by Miss Hortense

Highwayman.” Miss Creede was un- 
usually appealing in her characteriza- 
tion of Peg, and demonstrated great 
dramatic strength in her’ portrayal of 
“The Highwayman.” Miss 
bids fair to become one of the most 
celebrated artists in her- proféssion. 
A well known critic has said of her 
work,—"Miss Creede is feminine to 
her finger tips; her reading has fem- 
inine characteristics; it is elusive, 
charming and tender, but above and 
beyond all this it reveals.such an un- 
derstanding. of life, such vividness of 
picture, such sweeps of dramatic vi- 
sion that one’s last impression of her 
reading is one of great power, of 
spiritual insight, of splendid revela- 
tion.’ 
The expressions of spontaneous en- 
thusiasm heard among the club mem- 
bers after the entertainment showed 
that both artists won high favor.
