The programme presented last evening
at the regular btmonthly musicale of the
Schubert club in Mozart hall was made
up entirely of the works of the Ameri-
can composers, and the large audience
that enjoyed the decided musical treat
had the satisfaction of feeling that by
their applause they were not sacrificing
art to patriotism. Frequent American
programmes like that given last night
might convince local hereticS that mus
advanced trif1e beyond the crude stage.
The programme was given by the Riedels-
berger String quartette. assisted by Miss
Beatrice Alice Pickthall vocalist, ana
Miss Edna Zenzius, pianist.
The quartette played Foote'S arrange
ment in G minor Cop. ~ for strings, and,
with Miss Zenzius at the piano, Chad
Wick's Quintette arrangement in E fiat
major The reading of the former num-
Der was fine and digniied throughout the
various movements, Especially pleasing

playing to impress itself upon her hear
ers, but that playing was always in per-

violin, La CAPTIVE plaintive little
berceuse. The viodnist excels in the
Interpretation of miniatures like these,
and most artistically were they presented.
Miss Pickthall, the soloist last night,
quality. Her higher tones are clear and
birdlike and her lower ones have con-
tralto richness. Her range, though wide,
is not smooth, however, and the passing
of the voice f ON the lower to the middle
and from the middle to the higher regis
ter emphasizes unpleasantly the success
sive steps. Miss Pickthalfs pleasing
stage appearance and her clear anu dra-
matte enunciet ton added much to the sue
cess of her numbers last evening. She
sang ECSTASY" Beach; Delight, Luck
stone, and two of Chadwicks songs. She
was Harmiy encored and graciously re-
sponded.
