ary ability and gave great pleasure to
her audience, in displaying her fine
talent. Her technique is such as is
seldom found outside of metropolis.
The audience realized the rare treat
of listening to her Interpretation of

bers, MacDowell's Humoreske and the
Marche Militiare, were delightful. Mrs.
Biddle proved her versatility in the
very excellent,manner with which she

audience from the first and showed an
excellent training through all his Sc

rendition of Bulwer Lytton's "Aux Ital-

an inimitable reading of the Deacon

proclaimed his thorough acquaintance
