The literary and musical element were
out in force Tuesday evening to greet
Maud Ulmer Jones, Gertrude Sans
Souci and Alice Caroline Grannis in
their presentation of Strauss arrange
ment of ''Enoch Arden and they
were we'll rewarded. "Enooh Arden
carries one through the gamut of all
the emotions and Miss Grannis por-
trays them ALI realistically. More
than this, she makes the scenes in
which her characters are set stand out
wildly. She does not rely upon ges-
ture at all, and upon facial expression
but little. 1t Is her voice that makes
her. an able reader, and she fully
demonstrated, that ability last evs-
ming.
Gertrude Sans Souci is 80 well
known that criticism of her wsEA
would be- superfuous. She is an
ideal .aceompanist, and in the reading
her rendering of the Strauss musat
which adds so much to the beauty %
the pieeas delighted everyone.

laurels of the evening. Her beautiful
voice with its clear. sweet tones and
