Miss Anderson played exquisitely
and with greatest ease. 1t would
be difficult to say which selection
was most enjoyable as each one was
so beautifully rendered. The tone
coloring which she displayed was
grand. Many remarks were over
heard about the last selection on the
program LA Campanella," by Pa
ganini List in which there occurs
near the end long trill, and which
no one but great musician could
have handled more artistically than
did Miss Anderson.-Sioux Falls

says: Her modesty and simplicity
on the platform, is one of her sweet
est charms. She is wholly without
stage effect and acknowledges artis-
tic compliments with a smile that is
delightful and natural. She has won
high rank in the musical world and
