x. THE ORGAN RECITAL
tl9Ca.'fc Tt}en-ol- UtG iHss5r

The EddY;sWi herspoont Recital at the
Auditorium last evening was one Of the
most delightful musical affairs of the
season. Mr.. Eddy was at his best, and,
save for the careless striking Of a few
notes, played fawlessly. His program
was long and interesting It embodied
three new compositions which were
good specimens of modern American
musical thought and were well received.
The "AIegro-maestoso" movement Of
j.. Victor Bergquist s "Sonata in G
minor was one f5these. The scompo-
sition begins with a burst Of three
massive chords and then dashes imme-
dlately into the thematic treatment. It
is foridly written with plenty Of oippor-
tunity for technical display of virtuos-
ity. interviewer with the main theme
are strains wonderfully. like the old
Lutheran chorals, which afford a charm
ing contrast. Mr.. Eddy was warmly
greeted. The Bach fugue was given
with great virtuosity, especially in the
pedal register, and as an encore he
played transcription of Schubert 8
"Serenade,'' giving the. solos in the
tenor registers where. they properly be-
long. The effect wasaindescribably beau
tiful. The Widor "Toccata,' which
closed the program, was a rare treat.
Herbert Witherspoon was in splendid
voice and sang with an abandon and
yet an artistry that5was very grateful.
He has a smooth, basso-cantante voice
Of sufficient .power%yand so admirably
placed that it completely filed the
vast auditorium. His enunciation was
perfect and his control over the upper
registers, Of the voice was wonderful
especially in the pianissimo effects he
secures: He was more delightful in
the ballads than in the aria from the
'Sicilian Vespers, = owing, undoubted-
ly, to the selections themselves. The
