The last meeting of the Music Club
was one of the most largely attended
in its history and the large audience
listened to one of the best programmes
ever presented by it. The Chopin Ron
do for two pianos, played by Miss Lola
Moynelo and Miss Emma Coburn. was
finished performance, such as are al
ways those in which Miss Coburn takes
part. Miss Moynelo won for herself
many compliments. Miss Eleanor AL
Ian. who sung before the club for the
first time this season, appeared to bet
ter advantage than ever before exhi-
biting far more repose and confidence
| in her work than formerly. Mr.. Ru-
| dolph Jacobsen repeated his splendid
violin performance of the week previ-
Gus and fairly electrified his audience.
| The many who listened to him with
profound interest were astonished and
delighted that the club should have as
a member one who could give such a
thoroughly pleasing performance, and
| at the conclusion of his first number
there was an audible murmur of APP
prevail throughout the hall in the abb
sence of the prohibited applause. The
Programme Committee may well feel
pleased with the result of this concert,
and every one who heard it went away
fully satisfied. Already plans are be-
| ing made for the annual May concert.
| The Programme Committee have made
| a rough draft of the programme, and
definite plans will be made within the
next two weeks. Owing to the variety
| of music, which the club now gives, it
4 has been determined to give the May
concert this season in two evenings
| miscellaneous programme with the
chorus under Miss Coburn on one even
| ing, and a miscellaneous programme
with the orchestra on the other! The
| present indications are that the May
| concert this season will be the biggest
| affair ever given by the club. At the
next regular meeting of the club on the
| 18th of this month, an entire Schumann
| programme will be given, and Mr.. X.
C.. Gordon will sing before the club
for the first time.
One of the most enjoyable affairs
| during the past week was the compli-
mentary recital given at the piano par
lors of the Phillips & Crew Co. Fri
| day evening. A large and attentive
| audience filled the parlors to overflow
| ing, and the programme was an attrac-
tive one from every standpoint, each
| number being given in thoroughly
artistic manner. One of the most en-
joyable features of the programme was
the performance of Chopin'S Polonaise,
Op. So, by Miss Addie May Gibson. She
played in her usual style, with ire
mendous power and precision, and her
work is really remarkable for one OF
her years.
Vocal selections by Mrs. Smith and
Miss Eleanor Allan were a feature of
the programme, and the readings by
Mrs. Claudia Hazen White were well
received. Mrs. William Alfred Bishop
was the accompanSt.
These recitals have proven most pop
ular among the musical people of this
