Certificate Recital at Institute.


The Columbia Institute presented
in recital Friday evening at s o'clock
Misses Willie Rob Buchanan, Eliza
beth Whitthorne and Georgia Garrett,
the certificate pupils in piano and
voice of Misses Mary Ashton and He
len Knox Spain.
The entertainment was one of the
most enjoyable of the series of COM
mencement entertainments that have
been given SO far this season. Miss
Buchanan opened the program with
Mendelssohn's Nocturne. At the con-
clusion of the number she was accord
ed a most enthusiastic applause which
demonstrated her popularity, not only
as a musician, but as one of the ia
vorite pupils Of the school. In her
second appearance she rendered two
numbers, prelude in G Minor" and
Butterfly Etude," both by Chopin.
Her playing of these numbers was ar.
tistic and perfect from every stand
point of the musical critic. But not
until she appeared in her last num-
Der, Hungarian Rhapsodie No. g."
from the most wonderful composer of
the age, List, did she show her
masterful handling of the piano. Her
rnnJitinn Of fhic IiHHn,,lt
Der was source Of great satisfaction
to her teacher and joy to her hear
ers. From the time the first note
sounded until the fms did she hold
her hearers in a trance of alteration |
and devotion to the message the great
master was sending to the music low
ers through this gifted little nusi-
clan. The technic of her playing is
perfect, and her work Friday evening
showed clearly that she was ready to
enter any muscal seminary of the
world and take first place among the
most promising musicians.
Mloc EliLdDcLu w ulIIHOl uc was LuC
second on the program. She sang
three numbers upon her first appear
ance, "The Gypsy TRAIL by Gallo
way; "Serenade," by Neidlinger, and
His Lullaby by Jacobs-Bond. Miss
possesses a most pleasing
mezzo soprano voice, and her vocali-
cation of breathing bespoke the train
ed singer. Her second appearance
was in Tosti's "Good bye"
This was by far the most pleasing to
her hearers, but not so difficult to
execute as the other numbers At
the conclusion of this number there
was an insistent call for an encore,
but the gracious and petite little sing
Or would only crafty her admirers
with her appearance and gracious
smiles.
Miss Georgia Garrett, one of the
most popular young ladies of the
school, was the third to appear on the
program. She sang four numbers al )
10. In her first appearance she gave n
5ounod's Lovely Flowers, Will Ye," c.
rom the opera Faust; and II
1ounod's "Serenade." Her second Il
numbers were, 20, Heart of Mine" by s.
Galloway, and Good Night, Sweet q
Dreams" by Bischoff. Part Of Miss
Iarrett's numbers were sung in n
french and her sweet soprano voice a
10 well suited for her chosen num- 81
,ers, foated as it were over the hall 81
md conveyed to her hearers the mes a.
age of the composers. Miss Gar p
etts rendition of the Prelude and IL
food Night, Sweet Dreams, both ex- Ell
difficult numbers, was done W
n such a manner that showed the Of
lnished vocalist The Interpretation Of
# the full meaning of harmony and W
ntonation of the difficult numbers et
vas brought out fully by the singer Ell
nd transmitted to the audience in
livery throated notes. e.
Each of the young ladies at the con- fl
fusion of their performances were ia
resented with handsome bouquets of h
lowers by admiring friends, b.
