TUESDAY OCTOBER jSSH THE LANIER CIRCLE First Meeting of Autumn Season Was Held Last Night FEATURES OF EYESING’S PROGRAM Excellent Musical Program and Two Papers Bead— Next Meeting; on Thlid Monqay in November. The Lanier Circle, the most distin guished of Rome’s literary organiza tions, held its opening session of the autumn season last night at the resi dence of Capt. and Mrs. John C. Printup. The program which was an interes ting one was brilliantly rendered. Dr. A. J. Battle, the president, pre sided with his characteristic courte sy and pleasing manner. Miss Miriam Revnolde delighted the members by opening the program with a beautifully rendered solo. Later she sang another solo, “The Valley,” by Gounad. Her voice is highly cultivated, is sweet and well modulated, is under most perfect con trol and she sings with admirable con fidence and self possession. “Bygone Days’* was a solo rendered by Mr. Will McWilliams. He has a remarkable voice both in power and in fine tones. If it were cultivated it would bring him much greater fame than he now has. Miss Annie Per kins sang “A Bud of Roses” in a pleasing style and was warmly ap plauded. Her voice is dear and sweet and she sings with much precision. Miss Alida. Printup who has attained mueh celebrity throughout this section as a violinist rendered one of Chaopin’s Nocturne and an opera aria in a style that delighted all, and won her lavish applause. Miss Printup is assuredly one of the South’s most brilliant violinists, and deserves all the high praise which has been bestowed upon her. The two literary numbers of the even ing were a sketch of Charlemagne by Hughes Reynolds and a summanry of correct events by Mrs. W, J. Neel. Mr. Reynold’s paper was well pi epared and showed Charlemagne’s life from every Standpoint. Mrs. Neel’s review covered all happenings from the Greaco-Turkish war to the release or Miss Cisneros and death of Editor Dana. It was very cleverly written. Os the New York political situation she wrote: “The race is between Wyck and Low” parentheti cally. “Tha’t is what my husband says.” One new member was elected on motion of Mrs. John C. Printup, and the circle adjourned until November 15 when it will meet with Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Neel. Bridal Party to Be Entertained.
