Waco School of Personality Entertainers
Appear in
Marlin
Members of the Greater
Marlin Club were regaled with vocal and instrumental selections at their weekly
luncheon in the Hilton sun room today by artists from Mrs. Agnes Barnes' School
of Personality at Waco. G. W. Glass was elected chairman for the meeting
two weeks hence.
Presented by R. E. Cox, Jr., chairman of
the day; Mrs. Barnes voiced appreciation for opportunity to present her students
in Marlin. Her daughter, Miss Camille Barnes, sings each Wednesday at 6:30
p.m. and gives dance numbers each Saturday at nine p. m. over station WACO,
while other artists from the school appear frequently in radio programs and
entertain at dinners, luncheons and other functions. Mrs. Barnes, herself
an accomplished musician and entertainer, for two years has received the State
Fair of Texas award for the best composer, the chairman stated.
Today's program provided plenty of
personality for those attending the luncheon. It opened with an
instrumental trio selection given by O. A. Barton, Jr., and Misses Alice Clawson
and Loraine Bletsch with Mrs. Barnes at the piano. Followed a blues number
by Miss Clawson and for diversification a saxaphone (sic) selection. Miss
Bletsch then appeared in the dual role of singer and reader, after which Miss
Helen Bauman sang and the 13-year old O. A. Barton, Jr., gave cowboy and blues
songs, interspersed with yodeling and playing his own stringed instrument
accompaniment.
All were greeted with bursts of applause, a
rising vote of thanks being extended to the entertainers at the close of the
program.
