GERTRUDE PEPPERCORN PLAYS
Concert at New National Theater by
English Pianist

There was not large audience at the
New National Theater yesterday after
noon to greet Miss Gertrude Peppercoru.
the English pianist, who appeared as the
twelfth of the attractions of the Wash
ington College of Music Miss Pepper-
corn is talented pianist-with a man
ner. She has great volume of tone and
plays octave and chord passages with
rare beauty. and she evidently has great
feeling for the themes which she plays.
She has a decided and distinct manner
ism which in a way, detracts somewhat
from her playing; exaggerated gestures
with the hands. a struggling Of the shout
ders, which seems affected and I'M
natural, and constant nodding Of the
head to the time of the music which
distraets the attention of the audience
from the theme itself
Her playing. however. was mastery.
Her first selection was a sonata from
Beethoven, which was warmly applaud
ed Her second was symphony from
List and her third selection was from
Chopin, in various movements. II is diff
fcult, indeed for "one slight girl'' to
give the entire programme and hold the
attention and interest of the audience.
but this Miss Peppercorn did, and she
was amply rewarded by the long-con-
tinued applause after each of her num-
hcrs
