Helen Pugh Is Asheville's Musical Prodigy, May 8, 1926

Asheville Musical Prodigy

Asheville, N.C., May 8 (AP)—This city has a 17-year-old musical prodigy, declare local critics, which North Carolina may expect to see win laurels.

Helen Pugh is the promised star. She has already given her local concert, which won her praise here.

Now the announcement comes from those close to her that she had been trained for a brilliant musical career since she was five years old; that she will study here until she is 19 and then go abroad, to return to make her professional debut.

At any rate, Miss Pugh has become more or less fixed in the mind of Asheville already as one who is to be watched for musical success.
