BRILLIANT RECITAL LAST NIGHT.
Miss Martin and Mr.. Tunwoody, Pianist
Charm Large Audience.

A program of most brilliant numbers
was rendered by Miss Martin and Mr..
Dunwody at the Baptist Female Uni
yersity last evening. These two artists
arc too we'll known to Raleigh audience
to need an introduction, but the artistic
ensemble of last evening deserves high
recognition.
The program was happily chosen to
show forth in equal degree the fine
technique of both performers who were
never in better form. The opening num-
Der was a souata G minor with four
movements by Foote The brilliancy of
the Allegro appassionato, the exquisite
song like melody of the second theme.
the adagio, it's stately rythm, and
the dashing brilliancy of the Allegro,
constituted contrasting themes that de-
manded taste and sentiment of express
sion.
The violin solo, air on string by
Bach with arrangement by Wilhelmj, is
easily the most beautiful of melodies.
Miss Martins musical temperament and
careful touch never showed TO better adj
vantage. but in the L. Aragonesa by
Alfrd ,hc bad full scope for fine quality
of tone and a breadth of touch that
showed distinct advance on her former
work
Mr.. Dunwody in the six sketches from
the Carnival Mignion had opportunity for
that temperamental and technical form,
which so permeates his work. The
prelude with it's breadth of tone, the
lightness and daintiness of the Serenade,
the melancholy mood of Columbine, and
the rollicking joy of the chorus, with the
wild dash of the Caprice Sguanarelle, gave
opportunity for superb technique and
delicate interpretations of mood,
The concluding number for violin and
piano by Goldmark, was marked by the
same finish and quality of treatment.
Take it all in all, Raleigh has rarely
enjoyed an evening of such superior
musical excellence.

the lack of naval coal depots the fleet
narrowly escaping being left without
coal last summer as result of the
strike. He adds:
''Should there be a general strike of
bituminous coal miners or employees Of
railroads carrying coal to tidewater or in
transportation generally the ships of the

venient depots along the coasts.
