A. c. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC,

A very interesting programme was
given at the college girls concert and
dance last Saturday afternoon at the
armory. The college orchestra under
DR.. Putnam's direction rendered
several concert selections and donated
their services for the dance that fol-
lowed which was much appreciated
by the girls. BY special request Miss
Edyth Grasse repeated her number
sung the week before, at the reception
given by the trustees. The orchestra
accompanied this number, Love in
Springtime, by Arditi and also the en-
core which was demanded, q selection
from the opera, Red Feather.
Miss Katherine York gave a very
fine reading entitled, The Little Colonel
and as a second number, an attractive
darby imitation. The Treble Clef club
members, under the direction of Miss
Grasse were received with great
enthusiasm and gracefully responded
to a recall. The proceeds of the affair
were donated to the associated chart
ties.
Mr.. Dickinson of Wisconsin uni
versity, who recently gave a very
forceful lecture at the Grand theatre
was assisted by Mrs. H. o. Kallgren
She gave three numbers which were,
The Rosary. by Nevin; An Irish Folk
Song. by Arthur Foote. and Heart OF
the World, by Saens Souci. Mrs. Kali
gren has a voice OF wide range and
pleasing quality and her work was
well received.

Laura Graves and Her Work.

Mrs. Walter F. Gushing is in receipt
of several communications from M. H.
Hanson, Miss Laura Graves manager,
and others, which go to show that this
gifted singer is carrying everything
before her. After appearing in the
great Maennerchor festival Of Nov. 20,
at Toledo, o., Joseph Wyllie, direc-
tor, sent the following night letter to
Mr.. Hanson:
please take my hearty c~ongratula-
tons in behalf of Miss Laura Graves
who scored a splendid success in the
Maennerchor, concert tonight. Miss
Graves proved herself a thorough
versatile artist. Carried her audience
by storm. A Encouragement of Miss
Graves is certainly assured"
On the same event, considered one
Of the first in Ohio music circles
owing to the high standard demanded
by German musicians everywhere, The
Toledo. Press commented as follows:
90 " Miss Laura Graves, the soloist,
has a magnificent voice of ample range,
which gives one the impression If she
weren't down on the programme as a
m~ezzosoprano, Of being a contralto.
She is truly an artist, and proved it
last evening, both to the audience and
to the members of the Maennerchor,
who are enthusiastic about her. She
sang some QlIlCulL Things extremely
we'll, and her. e~nunciation is a delight.
> " She does not find it necessary to
sacrifice tone in order to pronounce
distinctly either, which is a distinct
advantage in her favor. The first
number in her first group, Du Dist die
Rub, by Schubert, gave evidence of
her musicianship, and the last number
Of this same group, Pique Dame,
was exceedingly good. Miss Graves is
an American but has spent the last
six years in England and on the
continent in recital work. She is a
worthy artist and will be a welcome
addition to the splendid galaxy of
stars who claim America as home"
OF Miss Graves song recital in New
York The Musical Herald, in its cur
rent issue says:
Miss Graves voice is a mezz of
agreeable quality and she manages
it with much taste in the major part
of her work. Her mezzo voice is
delightful, pure and clear and her
diction and enunciatton in German,
French and English is notable. The
impression which she made, however,
was on the whole, eminently salts
factory,
