present in the ball room of the Raleigh Ho-

selections pleasing both to the lovers of
art and of novelty, was successfully carried
out, and nothing but applause was accord

is only nine years of age, yet she executed
her two selections with no little skill.
Because of the interest that attaches to
novelty the next number-Verdi's grand
operas "Ernani and "Lombardi," played
on the piano at the same time by twenty
two hands, with q piano solo arranged by
Miss Lieberman-was the most anticipated
on the program. many persons were Skep-
teal about the success of this production,
but the favorable reception given it last
evening appeared to prove Miss Lieber-
mans statement, which she made in a brief
announcement before the playing began,
that these two operas, although entirely
different in substance, are so much alike
in general treatment that by the most I'M
looked-for coincidence they can be made
to combine with telling effect The pupils
