Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1890-06-06

filled with beautiful girls attired in dainty
white fabrics, among whom were seated
the different performers, and the scene pre-
sented to the audience was one of loneliness.
The programme was a well balanced one
and Of just an enjoyable length, and the
different numbers, both vocal and instrlt-
mental, were performed with 4 skill and
precision that showed careful training, and
spoke well for the cultured nut
slcian at the head of this department, Prof.
G.. w. Bryant, and his accomplished and
faithful assistants. We have not space to
mention the programme in detail, but the
piano solos by Misses Gertie Stewart and
little Katie Y ost, the vocal solo by Miss
Lora IIaines, and the piano quartette,
Polonaise American, are worthy of special
mention. \ noticeable feature of the pro-
gramme was the fact that the instrumental
music was all by American composers with
the exception of the first number. Prof.
Bryant ''American Polonase' is strik-
ing and creditable composition and worthy
of an extended popularity.
Miss Edith Hodgson Of Boston, an ac-
complished singer and musician, who has
been a guest at the Institute for the past
two weeks, kindly contributed two groups
of songs, Which were greatly enjoyed by
the audience, and Miss Mabel Bergman, by
request repeated the dramatic recitation
The Marble Dream, which so pleased the
audience present on Thursday night at the
open session Of the Beethoven Musical
Society during the intermission.
Owing to recent indisposition, Prof.
Bryant Was unable to play himself, and
Prof. F. r. Webb of the Virginia Female
Institute, kindly consented to play the ac-
compartments for Miss Hodgson and Miss
Haines.
The soiree as q whole was most excel
lent and creditable one, and left a very
favorable and pleasing impression upon the
large audience present.
