'
Annual Music Club Af-
fair Pleases Audience

A brilliant success.
The annual spring concert of the
Brownsville Music club under the di-
rection of Miss M. Flora Todd and as-
sisted by Mrs. Fred Jones soprano and
Warren H. Hull baritone of San An-
tonio and the Foil Brown orchestra was
nothing less and but for the lack of
the packed house which the perform-
ance merited was perfect. The pro-
gram was presented at the high school
auditorium last night and every number
was liberally applauded by the appre-
ciative audience.
Mrs. Jones on her first appearance in
Brownsville won instant success with
her opening number the aria. “Bel Rag-
gio Lusinghier.” from Semiramide. The
high notes were clear and sweet qnd
her voice powerful throuhgout this dif-
ficiflt composition. The audience refus-
ed) to be satisfied with bow after bow.
demanding an encore and receiving one.
Mr. Hull opening his appearance in a
somewhat lighter vein with The Awak-
ening was equally well received an en-
% core being demanded after his first
group. His voice was powerful and the
tones were clear over a wide range.
The chorus numbers were splendid
the voices showing good blending and
splendid training. Soloists of the club
were enthusiastically received!.
The 30 members of the club opened
the program with the cantata Garden
of Flowers which introduced a number
of solos a duet and a double quartet
in addition to five chorus numbers. Mrs.
E. J. Tucker and1 Miss Florine Pierce
sang The Lark and the Nightingale the
two voices blending in beautiful har-
mony. The alto solo by Mrs. F. .1
Schmidt was splendidly .sung and was
liberally applauded. Mrs. Tucker sang
a solo with the chorus assisting one of
the prettiest numbers of the cantata
Mrs. Poseph Wells mezzo soprano solo
O Happy Streamlet was so liberally ap-
plauded as to almost require a repeat
Her voice was one of the piost pleasing
presented during the evening.
* Mr. Hull sang Morning on ze Bayou
The Bitterness of Love and Cargoes in
his group in addition to his opening
song. All of these numbers were well
received and two encore songs were re-
nnired before the program could con-
tinue.
Mrs. Jones sang The Cuckoo Song.
So Sweet is She When Love is Kind
and La Capinera in her group and for an
encore thrilled the audience with The
Last Rose of Summer as it is seldom
heard easily was the most popular num-
ber on the entire program.
Lochinvars Ride Sir Walter Scott’s
•poem set to stirring music wa« the sec-
ond part of the program furnished by
the chorus. This was *uute more inter
esting bT Miss Todd tcllipg the story of
young Lochinvar before it was sung.
The words of all the club numbers with
the exception of the opening cantata
were printed in the programs.
The closing number was the cantata
Sir Oluf in which Mrs. Jones and Mr.
Hull sang the solo paits and the club
singing the splendid chorus numbers.
The Fort Brown orchestra augmented
with local musicians playing accom-
paniments for the cantatas sung by the
* club played an important part in the
success of the program. Accompani-
ment at the piano was played by Mrs.
Nora Lane for the club and Miss Tood
accompanied Mrs. Jones and Mr. Hull.
The stage was .prettily decorated in
pink flowers and ferns and with the
30 women diessed in white the setting
was a beautiful picture.

(By The Associated Press.)
NEW YORK N. Y. May .29.—The
Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick mod-
ernist is to preach his first sermon in
the Park avenue Baptist church the
Rockefeller church 'next Sunday hav-
ing accepted the call to be its pastor.
The church will drop the word “Bap-
tist” from its name using it merely as
a sub-title andi abandon the require-
ment of baptism by immersion as he
stipuated. Ultimately in a new $1600-
000 skyscraper edifice a “free chhurch”
where all Christians regardless of creed
may worship Dr. Fosdick will preach
and practice what he regards as modern
religion liberalism for $5000 a year.
It is understood that he has decided
one of his assistants shall be a Pres-
byterian. Dr. Fosdliak preached! in a
Presbyterian church until a controversy
over fundamentalism was followed by
his resignation. He will step into the
Park Avenue pulpit permanently in the
fall of 1926 after a years vacation and
studiy in Europe. The present pasotr.
the Rev. Cornelius Woelfing retire*
next January because of age.
Saying that the call involved changes
in customs ahd traditions and a senti
ment of sanctity the Park avenue’s in-
vitation to Dr. Fosdick said:
“We believe that you are under the
guidance of that d4vine spirit which has
raised! up prophets in every genera-
tion.”
Dr. Fosdick replied that he cpuld not
decline the call after the church had
made such great sacrifices.
BRILLIANT FUTURE
FOR OH PICTURED
“I have been traveling this country
for 25 years as a salesman. I have
seen the Valley grow to its present
state and I believe that if the South-
ern Pacific comes into the Valley and
crosses on to Mexico Brownsville will
not be long in becoming the largest cityL
on the Mexico border even passing El
Paso.”
This statement is accredited to A.
Grambach of New Orleans traveling
salesman. Mr. Grambach knows th.e
Valley and has the development of the
past on which to base his ambitious
prophesy for the future.
“It has everything necessary to de-
velop into such a city except more rail-
way facilities and I believe it will get
that.”
