position so capably. Her arpeggios,
runs and octave work were fine.
Misses Walker, Reynolds and Rice
sang delightfully."- a pretty trio
Down in the Dewy Dell" by Smart.
Another favorite with Lexington
people, Miss Ruth Hoyt, played
Bizet's Minuet de + "Arlesienne"
and Gricg's Wedding Day at Trold-
haugen. These were numbers which
she had played at her recital and she
again pleased the audience with
her thoughtful Interpretation.
Probably the strongest impression
Of the evening was made by Miss
Berenice Wood, a graduate in violin
music. Miss Wood is really a violin
list with the temperament Of a vir-
tuoso. Her position is fine and as
she plays she seems oblivious Of the
audience. She handles her bow with
strength and tenderness. Her tones
are sweet and steady, Monday
she played Beach's Romance with a
{ feeling which moved the audience.
! AS she came back to bow in response
/ to an encore she was presented with
a handsome violin case, a gift from
+ her mother. The audience demanded
: another piece, which she finally
t played.

and beautifully characteristic of its
e composer. OF course Miss Walker
handled it exceedingly well.

was played admirably by Miss Kath-
crime Todhunter. Its main require

If Todhunter certainly possesses. It was
J. impossible to pick a single nav in ner

Miss Mary Lillian Atkeison gave
the Jewel Song from "Faust" in
brilliant fashion. 1t was OH her
I'd graduating program, and she did ex-
