ing by Miss Eva Trew, assisted by Miss

marimoff, of Russia. The program also

Schumann and Reinecke, each of which

4 The piano lecture recital is most
beautiful idea which must certainly
have originated in the mind OF an art
list, as the hearer carries with him in
til days that follow something more
than the mere memory of sweet sounds
that please the ear for a few brief mo-
ments. When connected with mem
Dries of the composer the mind retains
many beautiful thoughts called forth
by The life dreams SO well presented
4 by Miss Trew, whose achievements in
! the musical world need no praise.
