A Batch OF Interesting Comments on Lo-
cal Matters

cal Matters
There are three things necessary TO
the success Of concert, good must
clans, varied program and an appre-
ciative audience, and as none of these
were wanting at the concert given by
the B. d. 81 G. Club of Washington
College we may call it success.
The audience was brilliant one, and
the people composing it seemed to have
on their holiday attire. Our prettiest
girls were there, each looking her
sweetest, in light dress and hat, which
she had donned in courtesy to the
boys.
The numbers given by the club were
much enjoyed. To casual observer it
may seem that concerted music is easy,
but this Is q mistake, each musician
must play as the leader directs, the In
struments blending into one, and this
one, subject to his taste. Mr.. L. b.
Marks the leader of the club, Is well
fitted for his place, and much credits
due him.

We all know genial Will Day too well
to need much mention Of him, and those
who know him best are aware Of his
talent as comedian. He has never be-
fore been induced to give an evidence
OF it to the public, and it was surprise
when he stepped aside from his legitl-
mate line Of work to do "funny busi-
ness" That his effort was keenly
relished by the audience was proved by
the laughter which followed. His
second number was song by Jordan,
introducing the Marseillaise Hymn.
The effect In this was little disap-
pointing, as 1t was not given with
enough fire. / read some where that
"the men who first sang the Masiellaise
were not playing at war"-how much it
meant TO theml and some how this al
ways comes TO mind, and In fancy, l
see the armies marching on, and hear
them singing the beautiful hymn so
sombre, so majestic and so different in
its intensity from the ordinary French
school.

Prof. Fleming is so we'll known as a
violinist that hesitate TO make even a
comment on his solo, which was so well
received. Don't you think his greatest
charm lies in the fact that he is thor
oughly an artistic in feeling? AS L
watched him play it seemed to me ne
was oblvious TO surroundings, had lost
sight of everything but his violin. The
low, melting, tender tone, followed
quickly by brilliant cddenzd, to change
again to tender dndd1lte, seemed to be
the inspiration of the moment rather
than OF studied effect.
''The instrument on which he played
Was in Cremona's workshops made,
BY great master of the past
Ere yet was lost the art divine
Exquisite was it in design,
A marvel of the lutist art,
Perfect in each minutest part"
and is known to be the finest violin In
Plttsburg, bearing the date OF 1925, and
is valued at 81, 500.

Much interest is felt in the concert to
be given soon, as benefit to Ralph
Whitehead, the unfortunate mail car
rier who lost his sight. The affair is
being workep up by the letter carriers
of the city, and il is not likely anyone
will refuse to aid them. 1t seems 10 me
every musician III WuttlluS i"A
" give his services, and at the same
time feel thankful to add his might.
All success to the boys in grey!

It is always q pleasure to me to visit
Mt. de Chantal, and yesterday was no
exception 10 the rule. The train leav-
ing here at 1870 carried number OF
visitors to the convent, all eager to re-
ceive the kindly greeting one is sure TO
receive from the dear sisters there. The
occasion Of this visit made it OF especial
interest, as it was the feast day OF
Mother Mary Amy (known TO the world
"a Miss Sadie Robertson, OF this city,.
To those OF US who knew and loved her
before she became recluse, the event
was OF peculiar interest, and 1t was
very sweet to meet her again to-day,
and see but little change in her beyond
the air of sweet contentment OF peace
which the world cannot give.
