The Bchook

AsHs - - = *l'.S.4 Z: RI
The cheery, sprtng-like freshness Of
the voices 1t the chorus girls was sum-
cient to awaken new appreciation of
music In the soul Of the most untut0red,
and to revive the sweetness of youth
in the hearts OF those where such
jrecollections repose as half-forgotten
memory. This was a classic and it's
rendition showed both the application
OF pupil and the patience and pains
taking of the tutor. From tots to misses
the parts were well taken.
| Written and read by. Mss Marion Collins.
Miss Collins spoke of the exquisite
sentiment of the great poets, past and
present, and elaborated her essay with
choice excerpts from Byron, Shakes
peare, Longfellow and others.
! There IS a pleasure in the painless woods,
There Is rapture by the lonely shore"
These words as they fell from the
lips OF the speaker seemed peculiarly
appropriate as the balmy breezes of the
afternoon fioated in upon the stage,
laden with the fragrance of the fields
and foliage. Said she: "The highest
mission OF the past is to embody in
his works. truth. beauty and goodness.
and to do this he must believe in God
and eternity
Duet The Gypses prab~~
Misses Ne.l.e Schmidt. Blanche Haase.
The very smooth, well-delivered tones
OF Miss Schmidt's soprano blended most
tremendously with Miss Haas superb
contralto, and the result was pro-
duction which, SO far as the Judgment
and appreciation of the layman goes,
was second to no feature of the exer-
| cises. The range and volume of the
voices showed much native talent as
well as persistent and careful culture.
The applause which followed this eff
fort was among the heartiest of the
afternoon.
Violin Soio-Romance .J. Syendser
MSS Aimee Quinn.
MISS Quinn's violin solo received the
many compliments it deserved. By
diligent and well-directed effort she
has obtained a proficiency upon this
difficult instrument that many a pro-
fessional would be proud to boast. Her
manipulation of the strings as well as
bow work are pronounced exceptional
for one of her youth. Her selection was
difficuit one, but was played through
out without notes, indicating her apt
ness for tune and time and correct ex-
ecution. Miss Quinn will doubtless be
heard from in conspicuous roles here
after.
Poem, A Reverie Miss Frances Mcouaide
Read by Mss Emma Forbes
AS indicated by the above caption,
this poem was written by Miss Nc
Quaide and read by Miss Forbes. 1t is
difficult to say which of the two de-
serve most credit for the very excel
lent entertainment occasioned to those
who heard the Revere from the plat
form. The subject matter was good
and Miss Forbes perfect self-posses-
sion and naturalness upon the stage
was admirable. She has the happy fac
ulty of putting her audience at per-
feet ease while at the same time avoid
Ing any boldness or affectation in de-
livery. "A Reverie' was we'll dreamed
and charmingly spoken.
Duo, Ungar:sche Tanz No I'll. Brahms
Misses Emma Forbes, Emma Reymann
The cleverness with which the young
ladies executed the difficult score of
Brahms "Ungarische Tanz" No. 2 was
not achieved by a commencement day
preparation alone: but was evidently
the result of more than casual prepara-
ton. The music is severely classical
and those who essay to portray its STIR
ring melody and deep pathos must have
a knowledge of more than the mere
rudiments of the art.
Babylon i . ns the "at Ne:d 95
Misses Teresa Hanifan, Cara Gibney
laura laura Dick; Rose o'Brien. Josephine
Haase and Emma Forbes
The tidelike ebb and flow of this
stately melody was sung by the double
quartette with able conception Of the
lofty sentiment presented by the COM
poser From the dulcet, murmur like
tones Of the pianoissimo, to the strong,
spirited scores Of the holder parts, the
voices were in perfect accord and the
time most pleasing 1t was an ex-
emplification of the popularity of
what most people say is too classical
music. when the same is competently
handled. The audience broke into
rapturous applause at its conclusion.
Recitation. lie veilee. Francois Coppee
Miss Mary B. MacHenry
The pathetic and thrilling story of
la Veillee" was told by Miss Mac
Henry with splendid taste, producing
an effect upon the hearers that was
most flattering to the speaker. The
meditation of naturally fine voice to
suit the sentiment of the descriptive
parts was nicely accomplished, and the
gestures were natural, easy and ex-
