MUSICALE.


Mrs. C. L. Gibbs gave a delightful
musicale at her home Thursday even
ing. Every number was given by her
pupils. The audience was composed
OF the parents Of the pupils. Those
who took part were Misses Victoria
Brooks, Susie Houston, Rosamond
Guthrie, Virginia Browning, Leila
Winans, Liga Bolts, Mary Emmons,
Frances Glandon and Eliza Gibbs:
after the performance which, by the by,
was beautifully rendereS, Mrs. Gibbs
served coffee, chocolate and waters.
The Robyn recital Friday night
brought out a large audience. 1t goes
without saying that it was an appre-
ciatiye audience. Prof. Robyn's fame
as an organist is national. For the
encore after thu first number he gave
US his famous Manzinillo. The audi
ence insisted on another after the
lovely B~arcarolle Of Clarke, and be
played a descriptive piece entitled
THE Storm" Councils Marionette
was exqulsitely given that as an en-
core be played Chopin's Funeral
March by request. The vast audi
ence went wild over his composition,
"Roccoco." The Wagner number was
a fitting finale for this delightful re-
cItal, but Prof. Rodyn couldn't refuse
the Hardin girls request for Mem
delssohn's Wedding March, which he
mostcertainly plays exqusitely. Would
that we could often hear such a musi-
clan.
