An out of town musician furnished the
greater part of the programme yesterday
afternoon at the regular bi-monthly
musicale of the Schubert club. The mu-
stefan was Miss Gertrude Hilton, of Oak
Park, ILL.,, pianist. The interest inVari-
ably manifested by an audience in the
work of a stranger was, in Miss Hilton's
case yesterday, doubled by the musician
ly treatment of her numbers. Her play
ing evidenced strong individuality and
admirable technique colored by decided
warmth, more noticeable In the Chopin
numbers, perhaps, than in any of the
others, which gave piquant personality
to her Interpretation more appealing than
mere scholarly correctness.
