GOOD LOCAL TALENT.
Give Meritorious Musical Entertain
ment at MARYLAND Ave. Church
The Numbers on Program.

Before another small audience, char
acteristic Of a small" town, prob
ably, very delightful musical was
given last evening at Maryland Ave
nue. NJ. E. Church Those down on
the program were mostly local tai
ent" and they did themselves credit.
The program opened with a piano
selection by MIR. Adolph Torovsky.
Jr., son of the assistant leader of the
Naval Academy band. MIR. Torovsky
is a student of the Peabody Conserva-
tory of Music, Baltimore, and although
very young, he has made a great sue
cess of piano music. His "Brahm's s
Raphsody in G Minor was beauti-
fully played, and showed a master
hand at the piano, and his Beeth-
ovens Minuet in E fiat and Bach's
Gavotte were exquisite musical gems
of ,he program. A few years ago,
when Mr.. Torovsky was n little fell
low in knickerbockers, The Capital
predicted great things for the young
musician. It's prophecy is being
more than fulfilled.
Mr.. Clarence l.. Clemson sang in
his musical tenor voice In the Gar
den of My Heart, " and "My Jacquemi-
not, p" and was never in better form.
Mr.. Clemson's voice is true and well
toned and is under perfect control.
His vocal selections gave much pleas
ure.
Miss Thelma Raver, of Baltimore.
gave several recitations. Although
very young Miss Raver has done much
N elocution to bring about such good
results. Her articulation is good. her
Gestures graceful and natural and her
selections of last evening were well
ohosen.
The duet by Miss Orpha Sanner, of
Baltimore, and Mr.. w. Morris Field
meyer, Birds Farewell" was well
sung. Miss Sanner's voice is clear.
high soprano, well intoned and shows
culture. Mr.. Feldmeyer's bass is
always good and he sang last night
with pleasing effect. Miss Ruth Field
meyer was accompanist.
Who has ever heard Mr.. Herman
Holden's violin playing without hav-
ing great pleasure afforded by this
young musicians manipulation of that
instrument more nearly akin to the
human heart than all other instru-
ments. Mr.. Holden's Concert
Stick, " by Wieniawski, was splen-
didly interpreted. His wrist move
ment is supple his bowling easy and
his Hungarian Fantasy" was a de-
lightful musical gem and fitting
finale of the splendid program. Mr..
Harry Schreyer, organist of the Pres
byterian Church was the competent
accompanist.
Miss Mary A. Chance sang very
sweetly Calvary" and For All Eter-
nifty" Her voice is a clear contralto,
soft and musical.
DR.. Joseph C. Joyce gave two
splendid baritone solcs, 1.-THE Rosary
and "The Voice of My Dream" DIR.
Joyce sings we'll and his solos were
much appreciated.
Mr.. Harry K. Metzger gave two
tenor solos, lone Sweetly Solemn
Thought" and "The Last Hope. "
Mr.. Metzger's voice is true and his
notes are clear and musical.
The entire program was we'll pre-
sented and was worthy more generous
patronage. The participants alone
one and all are to be congratulated on
the success of their efforts.
