N NE of the beautiful musical pro-
grams of the week was heard Fri
~ day at the Westlake school for
girls. 1he soloists were Miss Hazel
Runge, soprano; Herr Oskar Selling,
violinist, and Harry Clifford Lott, bari
tone. Mrs Edmund Il. Burton and
Mrs. Harry Clifford Lott were at the
piano.
The interesting feature of this re-
cital was the rendition by Miss Runge
of two groups of songs written by Mrs.
Burton. Friends and acquaintances
have realized for some time that TINS
talented woman was doing work CT
more than ordinary quality, and the
reception which was accorded the
songs last night testified strongly to
the high quality of the compositions.
Mrs Burton has been at work with
much zeal recently, and her most re-
cent works show strong feeling and
technical skill, which foretells remark
able work.
Every phase Of Mrs. Burton's work
is musicianly, and at the same time
unusual. In her effort to make her
work unordinary, however, she does
not resort to any trickery or subter-
fuge, but maintains a high artistic
standard throughout the work. OF the
songs last Friday night there We're
four miniatures, each gem-like In It's
clarity, and two moro dramatic num-
bers. wherever You Are" and
Tears" The latter song of fine spirit
and strong emotional power achieved
a splendid success and attracted the
attention of every musician who was
present.
Harry clifford Lott, who sang in
the same program, at once asked per
mission to use this number in his pro-
grams in the future.
Mrs. Burton Is quiet, graceful,
beautiful woman, whose friends know
her for many splendid qualities, and IN
whom Los Angeles will find further
fame in that musical world where many
local players and writers have already
carried the glory of Southern Can-
fornia.
The program for this musicale, which
was attended by many men and women
who are prominent In the social ana
musical world included these numbers:
Meditation from That's CMasseneD; Four
Miniatures alberta N Burton), 1clcles The
Snowman, The Weather Vane. The snow; snow;

An Uncouth Love Song Oavies). Before the
Sunrise CNoots). Harry Clifford Lott; -ephir

The teachers of the Mckinley avenue
school would do we'll to have the IL
bretto and music used in the pageant
describing the historical progression of
Los Angeles put in some permanent
form. The usefulness of this clever
little spectacle might be great could 1t
be so arranged that other schools could
have access to it, and the labor in
volved in it's preparation was such that
It should be given some sort of publi-
cation. 1t would be of interest in every
school in Southern California, and
lodges, clubs. industrial and charlta-
BILE societies could we'll use 1t as did
these teachers of the school for a
money making enterprise, which would
at the same time be of actual benefit
