merit. Both Miss Davis. pianist and

are artists and those lovers of music
who did not attend the concert
missed rare treat. The attendance
was very small, owing to the fact
that the attraction had not been ad-

musicians themselves were not known
TO our people either personally or by
reputation. Their work was of such
merit that the Auditorium manage
