gave recital at Fraser hall, Univer-
sity of Kansas, Thursday evening of
last week. An appreciation of her
recital from the Lawrence Gazette
follows:
The fine arts faculty recitals which
are a new departure this year were
brilliantly begun last night at Fraser
hall by Miss Phipps, assisted by her
sister, Miss Nema Phipps at the
piano. A large audience was pres
ent, which gradually warmed to en-
thusiasm to degree quite unusual in
Lawrence remaining III their seats
some moments after the close to
applaud the artists. The progra mme
was well selected one ranging from
the French composers Leclair, of the
eighteenth century, to Schuett of the
twentieth and including classics by
Beethoven and Wieniawski as well as
fantastic numbers of the French and
group of violin selections has never
been heard in Lawrence. Miss
Phipps is an artist who gains in power
with every number she plays, so that
where all were good the last was the
best and deserved the ovation it re-
ceived. In the Caprice by Ogarem
Miss Phipps was especially success
full with her harmonica and the pizzi-
cato effects in the serenade by DAM
broSio were well managed; but the
soul of the violin is it's singing tone
and of this Miss Phipps gave many
beautiful examples from the plaintive
strains of ST. Saens' Swan and the
nance" to the thrilling passion of
Hollaencer's Ballad and the fiery
abandon of Schuett's "Rondo."
Miss Phipps will give a recital It
Washburn before long. the first of a
series Of faculty recitals by the music
school.
