FIRST NUMBER OF
LECTURE COURSE

While the Pasmore Trio, that noted
group of American musicians who
are to appear at the College Audi
toriEm on Thursday evening, Nov
9th as the first number of tba lee

special concert was arranged for
them in the mammoth Greek amphi-

theater in which such celebrities as
| Sara Bernhard, Maud Adams, Har-

appeared Telling of their concert
there, Walter Anthony, critic of the

Miss Dorothy played the Saint
Saens A-minor concerto. Her read
ing of the difficult number was schol-
arly aud sure, her intonation correct
and her left hand firm and unfailing
Particularly appealing was her tone
in the allegretto movement, which
she repeated for an encore.
From the first short dissonatal chords
to the finale. she was mistress of the
situation and played with emotional
feryor and academic accuracy.
Her sister, Miss Mary, presented
Lalo's Spanish symphony, op. q,
with its familiar Rondo" allegro fin
ale. The essence of her presenta-
ton was delicacy and purity. 1t is
difficult to gauge tone size in the
Greek theater; the distance separat-
ing player from auditor is so great
that reasonable breadth of tone is
surprising; you do not expect so
much volume. Her tone was broad,
fun and of an alluring sweetness and
beauty. She plays from the heart

Fire completely destroyed the res
idence of Ira Bader on Methodist hill
last Saturday evening. The volunteer
fire department was much in evil
dence, but could do nothing because
of the low pressure to be obtained
from the water mains and the fact
that the fire had gained considerable
Roadway before the alarm was turn
ed in. The Bader family was out of
town and the origin of the fire is a
mystery The loss is placed at $1,000
with no insurance.
