RUSSIAN MUSIC Leaders in Women's Activities Last Week CLUB NOTES Ir III I i 4 -w WW I III i MtsxKmm0 ff 15 vwiap DELIGHTS CLUB Friday Morning Program is Fitting Close to Season Dances and Sones Create Ration's Atmosphere Members Are Introduced to New Officers' Board BY MYRA NYE Pyrotechnlcal in Us gorgeous col oring, replete with verve and es prit, was the final program of the year for the Friday Morning Club.

It was an all-Russian program arranged by Alexander Oumansky and arranged for by Mrs. Charles O. Stivers, chairman of music for the club, a program that Mrs, Stivers, herself, regards as the most excellent of her two years' regime. From the moment the great velvet curtains rose until the end, Russia was projected across the footlights to the audience. All the tragedy and drama of the great inchoate, yet age-old Russia, were tne singing of the Volga Boat Song in the Russian language bj Ivan Buohoff and accompanied at the piano by Boris Malovsky.

me simple words of the boat men carry with them in spite of their simplicity, a complexity of motions indicative of futile struggle, a moment of victory and glory, a receding surge until peace is come. One knows not whether the peaoe is oblivion or resignation. Delightful relief of comedy folk songs and dances was given, particularly by the clownish one so perfectly clone by the ugly swain and the. pretty Insolent maid, a number nut on the scheduled pro gram. MANY ARTISTS With such artists as Alexander Kosloff, pianist, who played "Ela-gle" and "Etude Tableau," by Rachmaninoff; Miss Clarice Ganon, solo danseuse, in a gypsy dance; Mme.

Llzette Kalova, violinist, played "Melodle Tartar" (KoBloff and "Russian Dance" (Rachmanin off) with Kosloff at the piano; Mme. Sleffert, soprano, in a group of gypsy, folk songs, 'with Boris Malovsky at the piano, and Miss Fay Adler, solo danseuse. in "Valse Bluette" (Drlgo) Oumansky, appearing as the star in four num bers, was ably and delightfully supported. The daintiness and petite charm of Miss Adler were 1 a refreshing complement to the correct Russian touch and the dignified dark beauty of Miss Ganon. Mrs.

Florence Moore Krelder, retiring president, who has en deared herself to all the members during her brief presidency, con ducted the installation of new of ficers, bringing to the platform both the retiring board and the new one and introducing them indi vidually. Floral gifts were beauti ful and lavish, making in them selves adornment for the entire auditorium. At the luncheon, flowers banked the speakers' table and In capacity audience -about the tables Heard the four women speakers intro duced by Mrs. Krelder.

Duckies, In the charming garden of her home. Jay Gelzer One of the distinguished women among recent arrivals in Los Angeles Is Jay Gelzer, author of "Driven." the photoplay directed by Charles Brabin.

Mrs. Gelzer's own career has been as romantic as any that has come from her pen. She was abandoned by her father when a baby and, her mother dying soon after, a kind-hearted woman physician adopted the orphan and reared her in her own refined home where intellectual men and women were frequent visitors. When the little girl was only 12 years of age the late William Marion Reedy, famous editor, predicted a literary future for her. At IS she started to make her own way In the world but it was not until after she was married that she thought of writing.

This Impetus came one Sunday afternoon when, she was reading aloud to one of her little boys. "Mother, haven't we any grandpas and grandmas to visit us on Sunday like the other children in the block?" he aaked her and she decided that if her children were bound to mis that background they must have another to fill Its place. They might not have a past filled with adoring relatives but the future was hers and theirs to do with as she willed. Success In writing was with her from the start almost. She sold her first story and now after only' eight years she has an international' reputation as a short story writer.

In England her collection of Chinese-English stories ran through three editions in a short time. Her first novel "Compromise" is now being filmed. Ard she soon will be heard from with a drama. And all because of a question In a child's eyes. Mrs.

When the main building of the Glendora Foothill School the old home of the G. D.

Whltcomb family, burned to the ground about a year ago, it was discovered by the owner and head mistress of the school, Mrs. Walter Dalzell that It would not be a wise business venture to rebuild again for a school. The coming of the Girls' Collegiate School to Glendora and other factors decided against It. But the beautiful grounds of the estate right at the foothills of the Sierra Madres without a road or a trail intervening, with splendid tennis swimming pools out of doors, and the most delightful shade trees were certainly assets that should be capitalized, she felt. With Mrs.

Dalzell's Ingenuity and vision the place was transformed Into what is now known as Glendora Foothills Park, and once was one of the most beautiful pioneer estates of Southern California, known far and wide for its genial hospitality. Now it is open by reservation only, for picnics of commercial, fraternal, college alumni, professional and State organizations and for private parties. There is absolute privacy as only one party is booked for a day. A thousand people may be seated in the shade at noon. There is a well-equipped kitchen, supplemented by outdoor grill and barbecue pit, where Felix, the chef, can feed a thousand people at There la a bungalow for men, with smoking-rooms, showers, and dressing-rooms.

There Is a ballroom with stage and dressing-rooms, tennis courts, basketball courts, handball, shooting ranges, swings and sand box for children, and an out-of-door pavilion for bridge and small dancing parties. The Friday Morning Club, of which Mrs. Dalzell is a member, was one of the first organizations to picnic there this summer.

Mrs. Head writes of the interview with the Prince as related by the interviewer, Gene-vive Parkhurst, at the West Baden council of the general federation last week. Mrs. Parkhurst was made a guest at the palace, and she discovered, he said, that nowhere in the world are kings as Interesting as tby are In a democracy, because, as she said, quoting, "we like what we ain't." Mrs. Parkhurst has written a book about the Prince of Wales, sportsman, sailor, soldier and diplomat.
