BEAUTIFUL CONCERT
 LARGELY. ATTENDED
Mrs .Aldrich and MT. Wash burn in Joint Recital.
 Charity Benefit

Mrs. Truman Aldrich. Jr., piano, and Charles c. Washburn, baritone, gave d joint recital at the Jefferson theatre last night for the benefit of St. Mary's free Kindergarten. There was as, large and brilliant audience. the first floor of the theatre being entirely filled. The entertainment was most enjoy able. It was indeed one of the most beautiful concerts ever given in Bir- mingham Mrs. Aldrich easily surpassed herself and was accorded great ova- tion. MT. Washburn, formerly of this city but now of Nashville, was cor dia1ly greeted. He opened the pro gramme with group of two songs "Si trf i Ceppi" CBernice) by Han del and The Mad Dog Cvicar of Wakefield) by Liza Lehman. And his other groups were made up of five songs of the open"-"Vagabon ond' '' "Gipsy John," Magical June" Life and Death" and "The Wind on the Heath;p and seven or eight of Sidney Homer's songs including Uncle Rome" and "Lizette"-words by Miss Howard Weedon.
 MT Washburn was in good voice and his fine vocal art was enhanced by his scholarly interpretation and his thor OuSH dppISCihllOU OI the poetic iHeS of his recitations. For encores he sang "The Valentino by Cadman, The Banjo" by Sidney Homer; and on being recalled al the end of the concert he gave one of his telling children's songs.
 Mrs. Aldrichs programme numbers were Beethovens Sonata "Pathetique" and a Chopin group-Valse in D flat, Impromp- tu, Opus 36, and the B flat minor Scherzo, For her first encore she played the Gluck- Brahms Gavotte and for her second the Strauss-Elver Blue Danube" This lady s notable achievements on the concert stage have been in modern musc-music ce- curing great technique and tone .,olo-. but last night she played the Beethoven classic with breadth and sympathy and with singular clarity. But 1t was in the Chopin compositions that Mrs. Aldrich was at her best, perhaps.
 Could anything have surpassed in pathos or tender grace her playing ot the "lmpromptu?' In the "Scherzo" a high degree of virtuosity was revealed and in the dash, verve and dynamics as well as in bravura the artist fairly reveled. The demands on the performer in Elver's Blue Danube" arrange ment and variations are enough to tax the strength and nervous endurance of any master, but Mrs. Aldrich rendered 1t with remarkable brilliance and rhythmic charm. It was fitting climax of her great evenings performance The pianist received many floral tri- butes-armsful of roses and chrysan- themums.

 The telegranf sent by the commit tee of our alumni reached me on my return from Chicago last Saturday. I wish could express in some adequate way myrappreciation of the kind feel = ing that prompted that telegram, but it would be almost useless to try. I could never succeed. beg that you will let the alumni know how much I feel honored in being remembered by them in this way. I can wish none of you greater happiness than to round out your three score years and ten with just such an experience as this of mine."
