Phil Spitalny Orchestra Delivers Varied Iowa Theater Show
Phil Spitalny's all girl orchestra drew a near full house at the Iowa theater. The program mixed classical, boogie and sacred pieces with Lorraine on piano impressing in F Minor Capriccio. The brass section overwhelmed some melodies, and Rhapsody in Blue was hard to hear over trumpets and violins. The Hour of Charm choir sang three songs and Jeanne Phillips and Betty Kelly performed with choir backing.

Evelyn and Her Violin Steals the Spotlight at Spitalny Evening
Evelyn received the loudest applause as she played Sarasate Gypsy Airs with fanfare. She performed Nature Boy Hora Staccato and Fiddle Faddle, the last two with the string ensemble. Spitalny’s cool demeanor contrasted with the lively soloists, and the all girl orchestra showed strong talent but perhaps underused.
