serVatOry Pupils.

servatOry Pupils.
The closing musicale of the Savannah
Conservatory of Music was given in
the Lawton Memorial last night before
a large audience, and one that express
ed its appreciation by hearty applause
at the end of each number.
The programme was a long one, con-
sisting of twenty-eight numbers, but as
the greater part Of these were short
selections given by the younger pupils,
the concert lasted no longer than would
the average one of half its numbers.
The younger pupils all acquitted
themselves with credit, both to them
selves, and their teachers. OF the more
pretentious numbers special mention
should be made of the playing of Miss
Rossignol and Miss Krenson, and high
praise be given Miss Josephine Stevens
This little lady, though 1aborng under
the difficulties that damp weather all
ways produces with violin strings, play
ed not only with technical excellence,
but displayed a temperament that
promises much from an artistic stand
point in the future
The best of the numbers given by
pupils were those of Miss Addie May
Gibson, but as Miss Gibson is already
recognized artist by all who have
heard her play it is only necessary to
say that she again demonstrated in
the highest degree all the qualihca-
lions that have gained for her this
distinction.
Miss Winter, in all of her numbers
displayed excellent technique and
taste, and Miss Freeman gave a fin
ished performance of the difficult Lszt
Rhapsodie. Mrs. Laura Mehrtens was
at her best in the brilliant Tarantelle,
which she gave with the fire, with the
certainty of touch, and a nicely of
phrasing which made her perform
ance in the highest degree a most
| artistic one. The programme in full
