which we describe, for want Of less
/ hackneyed expression, by the much
abused word, temperament, in an IN
/ usual degree, and this gives her play
+ ing its most fascinating and individual
quality. But her technical equipment
also is adequate and, considering the
glrlish frailty of her physique, notable.
/ Her reading of the Beethoven An
dante in f gave the number its deep
est pOetical significance and while she
/ is perhaps at her best in compositions
which call for delicacy and subtIety
of treatment, she achieves her more
brilliant effects with uncommon skill
and power. and it is no exaggeration
to say that all her interpretations are
remarkable in girl of her few years.
/ Her performance last night was far
above the usual and conventional
effort of the Young Person With the
Music Roll But Miss Troutman takes
her art seriously, and so is capable of
sacrifices for it. Although she is a
favorite of uncommon popularity in
her set and her family's position and
her personal charm have equipped her
completely for a society success. she
places her artistic above her social
ambitions and is one of the most
earnest and conscientious of students.
At the same time she is no mere rnu-
steal drudge, but a particularly sweet
pretty and likable girl. only different
from the average girl in the possession
or an enviable talent and the industry
and seriousness necessary to its de-
velopment. Miss Troutman will go
abroad with her teacher Mr. Klin9en-
| berg, Mrs. Klingenb berg and a party of
other friends this month and will
study with some of the Euronean
masters during the summer Miss
Page will also spend the summer
abroad with her family and will prob
| ably have some voice lessons.
The popularity Of Miss Page and Miss
Troutman and the presence of so
! many of their friends gave their re-
eital social as we'll as artistic distinc-
ton. The hall was very beautifully
| decorated with tall palms forming a
background for big Jardinieres filed
with branches of apple blossoms
1lacs snowballs and liberty roses.
Both the young women were becon-
ingly attired, Miss Page In pale green
eolian and Miss Troutman IN a simple
white swiss gown. They received
loads of flowers and other graduation
gifts, and following the recital held
an informal reception at which their
friends offered their compliments and
congratulations.
