Scope and content
In November of 1935, accomplished musicians Virginia Wepfer, left, and Alice Stockton posed for the Tacoma Times with their violins. Virginia was eight years old in this photograph and Alice, who doesn't appear too much older, was beginning her 10th year of study on the violin. The girls were students of Bernard Aus who taught violin in Tacoma for over 30 years. Misses Wepfer and Stockton performed during the first program of the Ladies' Musical Club. Virginia played "Mazurka" and "Bolero." Alice played the "Viennese Popular Song" and "On the Wings of Song." (photo previously labelled G40.1-064) (T. Times 11/19/1935, pg. 3)
