NOVEL SERIES Of
RECITALS PLANNED

Mrs. Bruce McV Mackall and Miss
Margaret E. Clarke are planning to give
series of four recitals early in the
winter which promise to be most novel
and interesting.
For several years past on the main
land, musical readings have gone side
by side with the usual piano and song
recitals in popular favor. Everyone,
however, acknowledges the superiority
of Richard Strauss great musical set
ting of g EEnoch Arden, and this, with
possibly some Strauss songs, win make
the program for one evening. Grieg
has written a short setting of an old
Morse legend and this, Bergliott, -
with Grieg song cycle, will give an
other evening of pleasure.
The other two Tecitals will be simply
song and piano-a Schubert and Schu,
mann evening, when Mrs. Mackall will,
by request, repeat the cycle "Frauen
Liebe Und Leben,' which is one of
the best things in her repertoire, and
an evening devoted to American com
posers.
Mrs. Mackall and Miss Clarke are
endeavoring to obtain permission to
give the musical reading of "Evange-
line. " with MacDowell compositions,
which has been given only by we'll |

the arrangement but who has not yet |
