Vocal Recital of Miss Winifred Currey

Saturday, February 6th , at 9,15 pm at the Gordon Hall of Tientsin will be a vocal recital of Miss Winifred Currey assisted by local amateurs!
I'have received just now the program of the recital on a very nice pergamene paper with yellow flowers. All the social life of Tientsin came around Mrs Detring anf for her have Miss Currey for a recital is a great succes and for me is the occasion of doing a little of society's life!!
Well Winifred is not a graet singer, but a Tientsin is the girl of the day! The program is amusing and the Gordon Hall by night is very...suggestive. I' dont like very much lirical music and many friend of mine are usual sleeping during this song's performance, but this is the nocturnal life in our Concession.
Mrs Detring, the wife of the most important not chinese in China, and Madame de Tretiakoff, a russian lady with a past, have kindly consented to accompany Mr Cockell and Miss Currey in their songs. Piece strong of the recital is the Ave Maria of Raff put strategically in the middle of the concert. Then Winifred will close the evening with Chansone de Route of Puget, Songs my mother thaught me of Dvorak and dulcis in fundo Pertout of Chaminade.
Well, the winter is cold here in the north of the China, but during Mrs Detring's evenings, born Bauer, served always good whiskey.
