1924.29 April 8 1924

Regular Meeting. April 8, 1924.

The regular meeting of the Tuesday Club was held April eigth in the upper Eliot Hall and was opened by the President. The secretary's report was read and accepted, and the new names were proposed for membership, Mrs. Charles H. Cornell, Mrs. William C. Pray and Mrs. Charles M. Lawrence. All these were accepted and placed on the waiting list. The President made an appeal to the Club for extra funds, so that our local charities need not be neglected this year, after which the afternoon was in charge of the Music and Drama Committee Mrs. Frank B. Lawler, Chairman, and an unusually fine musical program was given. The musicians were Paul Shirley of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, who played the "Viola d' Amore" and Reginald Boardman at the piano. Mr. Shirley's explanation of the instrument, as well as his reading of the fanciful poem "Agnete", and the few interpretive words before the playing of "Gnomes", added greatly to the Club's appreciation of the music.

Mr. Boardman excelled as an accompanist and his solos were equally well done, and very much enjoyed. His encore entitled "The Hurdy Gurdy Man", was a delightful bit of musical humor. Tea was served in the lower hall, the tables being decorated with spring flowers in various colors. The pourers were Mrs. Charles H. Souther, Mrs. William Rooney, Mrs. John P. Campbell, Mrs. Edwin Libby, Mrs. Frederick W. Vorck, and Mrs. Arthur L. Albee.

Respectfully submitted, Lucy E. Henderson, Rec. Sec.
