THE FARNESE RECTAL
 PLEASING PROGRAM
The Program was Brief but Delight
 fully Rendered.

The recital given last night in Mel cZer hall by the students of Miss Far nese. a well known vocal instructor of this city was a genuine treat to all present and the attendance was large one. It was entirely an invitation function and all who wera not deLain- cd by other engagements made it a point to be on hand Extra chairs lad been provided so there was ample seat Ing capacity and no more critical or appreciative audience. ever assembled here for a similar entertainment. The one regret of the evening was that | Miss Farnese herself was unavoidably absent on account of illness. for sure | ly she could have felt nothing less than complimeuted by the audience and l 3lattered by the excellent work CT her pupils. The program was not a long one nor | were the participants numerous and | all were musicians Of acknowledged i talent before they began their studies under Miss Farnese. She has numer- ous other students who are making | good progress with their work but who did not participate in this semi-pro- tessional entertainment. There was prolonged applause after each number, an acknowledgment hat was intended to serve the purpose Of a recall but it 1 seemed to have been the preconcerted arrangement not to respond to encores unless 1t became absolutely necessary and that situation in two numbers pre- sented itself. The solo of Mrs. w. N. Tiffany from Marriage of Figaro" and the duet of Mrs Hamilton and Mrs. Tiffany, the closing number, made their ,reappearance in both instances neces- sary as an acknowledgement of apDre citation on the part of the singers
 The VOcalists were Mrs. w N. Tiff fany, Mrs. Vivian Palmer Hamilton, Mrs. Arthur C Hulett and MT. Ernest Wilson. All four of them are familiar figures before Phoenix audiences and it is unnecessary. to comment upon their talents other than to say that none of them ever appeared to better advantage. It would appear that they were never in better voice though il was learned that one of the ladies was | suffering from a severe cold, though the fact would never have been discoy- cred froDl her music. To resolve 2 criticism of the entertainment into q sentence it nay truthfully- be said thai all have ,been benefited by their recent instruction, though that is no disparag- ing inference respecting their former work. The accompanist was Miss Grace Hilgen who is an accomplished musician and who furnished the firs number on the program it being z piano selection from Chopin. The other numbers wee:
