music lovers present to enjoy the pro-
gram and the cordial hospitality Of

tin.
Miss Lillian Smith opened the pro-
gram with an Ole Olsen suite of five
numbers-"The Devil" "Mazurka,' -
fly" each number revealing in q
marked degree the characteristics sug-
gested by the titles. Miss Smiths skill
full rendition gave added effect, and it
was with pleasure that she was heard
tier in two Liszt numbers, an ar
rangement of con the Wings Of Song"
and aj paraphrase Of "Rigoletto," gra-
ciously responding after each to an en-
core.
Despite a very severe cold Edwin
House delighted the company with a
group of five baritone solos, Archibald
Sessions playing accompaniments for
Itch Liebe Dich' (Beethoven), "I Love
You" (Mildenberg), "Malgre Moi (Feif-
fer) and Gounod's ''Vulcan Song" The
fifth selection was "The Sea Gull" the
words of which were written by Miss
Grace Zerbe and music being by her
sister, Miss Laura, who accompanied
Mr.. House for this number.
An interesting group Of old Indian
songs belonging to the Zunis tribe was
rendered by Miss Lola Boyer and was
one Of the happy features of the af-
ternoon. The songs were not only
unique and characteristic, but tuneful,
to which Miss Boyer added the beauty
of distinct enunciation and a well
trained voice. Adolph Friml furnished
her accompaniment. Miss Bartlett
read "Enoch Arden" to Richard
Strauss music, her intensely dramatic
Interpretation of this poem being the
feature of the afternoon. Mr.. Sessions
