The program Monday evening
was opened with the well known
Schubert Marche Militaire play

was beautiful and well handled.
Miss Fannie Smith followed
with Schutt's "A la Bien Aimee, "
which she played with accuracy
and ease.
Miss Minnie Rothrock then
played Leschetizky's paraphrase
of a Mendelssohn Scherzo. Al
though one Of the younger piano
pupils, Miss Rothrock has at

and her rendition of this piece
was surprisingly well done. She
was recalled but merely bowed.
The fourth number was the
Aria "Titania" from Thomas Mig

Miss Conner is quite favorite in
Lexington and always sings well.
She responded to an encore.

best musicians at Central and
figured prominently in the vocal

plays exceedingly well. She and
Miss Conner contributed the next
number-"The Gypsies' by
Brahms. 1t was deservedly Gu

was fitting close to her career at
Central and won many compliments.
