Musical Recital.

In spite Of the stormy weather,
a good sized audience greeted
the pupils of the department. OF
music at their recital in the coll
lege chapel Saturday evening.
The program was one of the best
that has ever been given and each
number reflected credit, not only
on those performing, but on teach
ers as we'll. The music depart
ment draws pupils from all parts
of the state and there have been
a few students from even Wash
ington and Idaho. There are a
few people who attend these re-
citals who do not seem to realize
that conversation during the per-
Torrance of a musical number is
entirely out of place. There is
always time between each num-
Der to converse, Thus saving the
annoyance to performers and the
disturbance to those who do care
to listen.
The program opened with the
Priests March, for orchestra,
by Mendelssohn. It was given
in a broad and grandioso. style un-
der Mr.. Turney's efficient leader
ship. The orchestra is one of
the most popular college organi-
zations.
The next number was ''Waltz
de Concert" by Mr.. Ruthyn Tur-
ney. This composition is of a
popular order, although the in
PRODUCTION to the waltz movement
is quiet, peculiar strain-one
that fingers in the mind long af-
Ter the gaiety Of the Allegro has
passed. Miss Verna Kerker's S
performance of the composition
was spirited and brilliant, espec-
tally in the final climax. E
Miss Hettie Lilly is Que of the
most advanced Of Mrs. Gfeen's
pupils and she rendered the vo-
cal solo waiting" in an inter.
esting manner. She has a pow
erful voice of high range. Miss
Ada Mcdonald played the Chop
in "Valse," Op. az, tor piano,
in pleasing style. She was fol-
lowed by Master Max Miller in a
violin solo. Considering his age,
this boy plays works Of consid-
erable difficulty, and if his stud
les are continued reasonable
length Of time he will become a
fine violinist.
Miss Edna Allen and Mrs. Per.
not sang a duett 80 That We
Two Were Maying." Its poly
phonic character made it enjoy
able from several standpoints.
This was followed by a compost
ton Of Kafa's which Mr.. Henry
Kerker performed with excellent
tone and expression. Mr.. Ker-
ker's phasing and staccato is un-
usually good.
The pianoforte ''Scherzo'' in
B-fat Minor by Chopin, is one
of the greatest compositions that
exists for that instrument and its
difficulties we're handled in mas
terly manner by Mr.. Frank A..
White. This young man is an
excellent pianist, with splendid
technic, nature interpretations and
robust tone.
The Ladies' Chorus '.Annie
Laurie, !" concluded the program.
This familiar tune is always
beautiful and it was especially
so on this occasion, the ladies
singing with SO much expression
and feeling. An unlocked fol
encore was responded to witt
''Steal Away which all hand:
presently did.
