 The students of the music and expres- ! sion departments of the Birmingham : Seminary gave a most enjoyable concert I Friday night The programme was varied i and the execution of every composition 1 showed Individuality of interpretation, as 1 well as careful training. The numbers
 were well chosen to represent the different | phases of study in the departments, and 1 both the solo and the concerted work l were excellent. Among the piano solos l that were especially well rendered were ] "Walther's Prize Song" Wagner Beudel
 by Miss Myrtis Hutcheson, Grieg's Wed | ding Day" by Miss Willie McNaron, and
 the Chopin Impromptu, Opus. 29, which | little Miss Kathleen Moody played with | surprising ease and clearness of tone. i There were also some very charming
 vocal numbers and of these the audience | was especially enthusiastic over the Schu-
 bert serenade. sung by Miss Muriel Beaird,
 and the coquettish little love song, "A ! Wee Bit Shy" by Miss Mary Dobbs. | In addition to the piano and vocal solos i there was violin trio well rendered by | Misses Cole George and Shinn. and an
 exuuisitely harmonized song by the chorus { class-M -Mendelssohn's T Would That My 1 Love-" The reading by Miss McGlathery l from Aunt Jane of Kentucky was very | cleverly done and the humor of character l and situation was well developed.
