Second Piano Accompaniment,
Miss Nettie Clemmens.
Beethoven's grand overture was gracefully
performed By the four young ladies, and was
marked throughout by perfect tempo and
harmonious blending.
Miss Hawkins, IN her piano solo. was far In
advance of all former efforts, her beautiful
fingers gliding over the keys with the touch
OF a fairy. while her imposing appearance
and graceful depeanor won generous express
sions of admiration.
The vocal solo by Miss Ada Smith, though
q meritorious selection and most artistically
rendered, was not calculated to bring out the
full power of her great voice. She is q favor
lite with lovers of vocal music, and deserved
ly popular.
MendelsshOn's marvellous "Brillante, - was
played with fine effect by Miss Lille Lash.
DelIcateness of technique was the prominent
characteristic Of the performance. The little
lady has developed wonderfully since her
first effort on The concert stage.
The Fairies Revel," a vocal duet, was a
reuel of purest melody and sweetest harmo-
ny, and the two fairies were AS bewitching as
the song they sang.
Miss Helen Cobb, always brilliant, eclipsed
herself on this occasion, and her execution Of
rapid and difficult movements was graceful
and finished.
Possessed OF a voice of wonderful sympa-
thy the selections OF Mrs. Ball brought out
her faultness tones in ,,all their richness and
purity. A Lexington audience never tires of
the sweet melody that falls from her lips.
Part second opened with an exquisite piano
solo by Miss Hattie Williams. Miss Williams
Is one Of the Gems of Central, and has early
learned the key to success and found s.where
all the glory lies" She never makes a fail
ure, and whether she appears IN the depart
ments OF literature, art or science, she ma kes
a triumph ever.
Every emotion of the human heart is faith
fully portrayed by the master of the violin,
Prof. Edouard Blitz. One simply sits en-
tranced by the matchless harmony that GIBBS,
flows and pulsates under the magic touch of
his inspired fingers. The audience seemed
to drink in the rapturous tones and yet were
eyer dry.
The little artistic, Miss Rhoda Young, had a
difficult number. having to follow Prot.
Blitz with a piano solo, but she succeeded in
.riveling the attention of her audience, and
gained their hearty plaudits. She is great 70.
her age and opportunities. and will win her
way to popular favor.
The closing number by Madame T. lonarl
Blilz was the browning event of the evening,
the diamond among the rubies. the saphireS !
the pearls; The queen Oi the court the sun in
the midst of the planets. Il true ~arti.te, her
soul Is In her playing and while chasing the
ileeting chords she seems ubliyIOu, TO all
about her. and leaves her auditors rapt IN
the inspiration Of II beautiful dream. Under
the touch Of her fingers, the keys of the in
SIT saem transformed into sweet and
gentle spirits that urge US on to high er
thoughts and nobler dseds and purcr lives,
that we may live forever in TINT land above
the clouds and beyond the stars.
Miss Nettie Clemmens. as she al ways does,
performed her part of the programme with
skill and ability. Much of the success OF the
entertainment was due to her, and she de-
serves her place In the hearts of the people of
Lexington.
