America, Mory MeCormie, soprano,
won the hearts of on audience which
nesrly filled the Municipal auditor-
ium last night, adding to her laurels
by singing "Home Sweet Home" ns

The singer was encored repeatedly
end responded graciously and liber-
ally, revealing an unusually bright
repertoire of encore numbers, includ-
ing one depicting Grandma wearing
dresses Ilka the flappers, another ex-
pressing a desire to be a erow’s egg
so she could fall and splatter some-
body, “In My Garden," by Little, “At

Amariilo after a year’a absence to
furnish a number on the artists’
cqurse sponsored by Emil F. Myers
of ths Amarillo College of Music.

and lively program—“Super Voreste"

Debusay: Grovlez, Dvorak, Chabrier,
Brleg, Ibert and other great com-

into three parts and daring the sec-

and responded with three encores.
The final third of Miao MeCormie’s
program was sung ia English, num-
bers sliciting ths most enthusiastie
applause being, “When I am Laid in
Eartt" by Purcell and “Sing, Blua
Bird, Sing,“ and extraordinary brief
but bright number, in which her
voice reached probably the highest
note of the evening.
