Topeka Talent Showed to Good
Advantage.
Election Of Permanent Officers
This Evening.

Music lovers filled the First Congre-
gational church, at Seventh and Harri-
son streets, last evening, the occasion
being the first public recital of the
Kansas State Music Teachers associa-
ton. The programme included thir-
teen numbers, only four of which
brought forth applause enough TO call
for an encore.
A pretty song. and one of the best
vocal contributions of the evening, was
Mrs. Frank Thomas rendition of
LISTS 'Lorelei."
A hearty encore was given the ladies'
quartette composed of Mrs. Frank
Thomas. Mrs. Frank Foster, Mrs. W. G.
Dickie and Mrs L. s. Ferry. LaComb's
'Estudiantina'' was the number.
Mr.. W. F. Roehr opened the recital
at the pipe organ with Flotow's over
ture to Stradella." The overture is a
beautiful composition, and is admirably
played by Mr. Roehr. but its presenta-
ton was sadly marred by the organ,
which was apparently out of order.
Blanche Ochiltree received a gener-
Gus expression OF approval for her rem
dition of Lacks ''Valse Arabesque" at
the piano.
Miss Vida Wood, who is well known
in musical and social circles in Topeka,
sang oscar N6llS autumn, ana
SprlnSdHe, with a violin ObligatO by
Mr.. Frank Carruth. Miss Wood is q
very pleasing soprano, and she was
recalled, although she declined to give
an encore number.
Mrs. Sarah F. Brown, d pupil of Miss
WhittleSy, rendered Fair Minka,' a
Cossack air by Cabel, on the harp, and
responded to an encore. The full round
tone which she brought out was par
ticularly noticeable for an amateur
player Of the harp.
Miss Susan MermeI Davidson of the
College of the Sisters of Bethany sang
HOmbra Leggiera, a shadow song from
Dlnora in Italian. This song is written
in the high register, and is intended for
an operate singer. Miss Davidson's m
depreciation of the part was sufficient
to secure for her a hearty encore
Mr.. Ernest Gerald Council sang
Handels Honor and Arms from
Samson" in his usual style, and Mr..
Vincent Graham sang two selections
from GounOd's Faust" Mr. Graham
was IN very bad voice, and consequent
~ did not appear to good advantage. He
seemed to experience considerable trouble
in breathing.
Mr.. David Bowie sang DeKoven's
s.Poppies and James Philips Men ory''
The Washburn college orchestra as
sisted Miss LeCelia B. Clark, principal
of the violin department of Washburn
in her rendition OF Papini's Concerto
Militaire."

lection by Professor G. B. Penny Of the
state university, at the organ.
