The program consisting of selections, both
instrumental and vocal. from the best com.
posers, interspersed with some of the old

by delighted audience.
The readings by Miss Whitmore showed her
to be an elocutionist of talent, her perfectly

eXceled in her Interpretation OF Aux ltalIeus.

musical strains of II Trovatore from behind
the scene.
The rendering of the varied program of
instrumental selections by Miss Elizabeth
Slagle showed talent and ability and the
touch of trained pianist. She is especially
strong in her Interpretation. This was man

March. She captivated her audience by the
sympathetic manner in which she played Blue
Bells of Scotland with variations and other
old familiar airs.
Miss Katharine Slagle has full, clear
voice of unusual volume and richness which
gives evidence of careful training. The elias
steal and difficult selection from Hayden S
Creaton-With Verdure Clad-was sung
with ease. Her high notes were clear and
sweet and her runs and cadenzas were smooth
and even, showing natural talent and work.
In response to repeated encores she sang with
much feeling and expression the old Scotch
airs-Annie Laurie and Comm thro' the
Rye. The artistic Interpretation and rich
