The player appeared at ease
and acquitted herself with credit
in such an undertaking.
Without an attempt at dis
elimination, in conception and
execution the first group was
exceptionally well done. The
Fantasia was played in free
style characteristic of the COM
position; the Slumber Song was
executed in beautiful, singing
style; and the Novelette, played
with fluency.
Comprehending such variety
the recital was very enjoyable
and elected many congratula-

Murrell Auditorium, Central
College, in a recital for gradua-
tion in the course for violin.
