| Ing full scope to her versatile talents, and

that brings much will bring something to
! each" is time-honored saying and it is
! safe to assert that during some part of
| the evening each listener felt himself in
diyidually addressed. The little crippled
newsboy with his unanswerable sermon of
charity stirred even the urchins in the
| front row. who chuckled and nodded and
! winked at the familiar atmosphere in
which they suddenly found themselves;
! and the scene from The Merchant of
Venice" in which the artist represented
some six characters. moved many a one
TO deeper thought. Shylock, as well as
Portia, each had a sermon to preach.
From the quaint darkey humor of The
Wonderful Tar Baby to the deep pathos
of Skippy's recital in 1.-The Heart of Old
Hickory where all sometimes hesitated
between laugh and a tear-from the
dashing, daring. devil-may- fox hunt
ing creature of the scene from The Lon
don Assurance to the suave wisdom of
Portia-between all these there lies the
whole gamut of human telling and emotion
and Mrs. Metcalf knew how 70 touch the
hearts of her hearers. The mediocre man
or woman goes out to the audience and
seeks to satisfy their demands; but the
true artist makes the listeners come to
him. and this Mrs. Metcalf accomplished.
The climax of the evenings perform
ance was fittingly and beautifully reach
ed in the court scene from The Merchant
of Venice" of Shakespeare. and as the last
word was spoken and when Shylock had
shufhed from the stage, the audience
burst into well merited and gladly be-
slowed applause. 1t was gathering of
interestingly appreciahve lovers of dra-
matte art.
OF the members of the musical faculty
of Fairmount college Director Ellenberger
Miss Hammer and Mr.. Just. each of
whom contributed one number to the pro-
gram, only good can be spoken. - Miss
Hammer played her Sonata Pathetique
beethoven in a mastery, finished man
ner, captivating all present by her fine,
vigorous conception OF the first Allegro
and the soulful Interpretation of the beau
tiful Alagio. Prof. Ellenberger's Wedding
Song was likewise treat, the accompa-
niment initiating in quite novel manner
the golloping of a horse. He sang with
the usual finish and his grateful listeners
were not chary of applause. Mr. just
played a somewhat obstruse fugue for
violin alone from the Bach G minor So
nata He had much faith in his listeners
to judge by his selection. nor was he dis
appointed. Taken in it's entirety, the re-
citaI was a distinct success.
