FINE PROGRAM
CONCERT BY THE PENSACOLA
SCHOOL OF MUSIC FRIDAY At
THE SAN CARLOS AuDIToRiuM
WAS A MUSICAL TREAT.
BY GILFILLAN SCOTT.

Nothing succeeds like success ex-
cepting a greater success.
The sixth concert given by the Pen
sacoia School of Music on Friday
evening was the greatest success the
school has made.
Twenty three numbers were reeled
off with military precision and with
artistic results; and large and en-
thusiastic audience showed their ap-
probation by unstinted applause.
Miss Marion Fiedeke opened the
proceedings with brilliant rendering
of Merz's "Polacca" and later gave a
splendid performance of KoEa1skfs
Roses de Boheme." Marion does all
things we'll which she undertakes and
the audience appIauded her efforts
in manner they richly deserved.
Miss Minnie White Morris proved
herself a coming artist in Gregh's
Song Without Words a piece which
exactly suits her temperament. This
young student has a fine musical flu
ture before her and will make pro-
fessional worthy of the name. Her
career will be worth watching for she
has musical ability and is as indus
trious as she is musical
Miss Annie Laurie Quick had a most
trying task and came through 1T all
with high honors. In Salter's Cry
of Rachel" which is Madame Schu-
mann Heink's greatest piece de resis-
lance, she demonstrated immense pos
sibilities for the highest class of dra-
matte music, also in Gottschadk's
rs it Wrong?' These two songs are
tremendously exacting and call for ex-
perience and great powers of express
sion For a young student to produce
these on public platform within four
months of taking her first vocal les
son is convincing proof of her abil-
ity and her certain success in the
future.
Together with Miss Hattie Whitscn
Miss Quick shared honors in two vo-
cal duets, Masinis' Land of the Swa,l-
lows" and Schobers my Love" which
were two of the gems of the evening
and the audience would fain have had
more but encores had to be denied ON
account of the lengthy program.
Miss Hattie Whitson deserves no
end of praise for her share in the
evenings success. In two months
Miss Whitson has more than justified
her taking up of vocal music for she
has a delightfully."- sweet voice, so pure
and fresh and she has promptly
learned how to use it,
In addition to her splendid work in
the two duets with Miss Quick she
sang with the utmost charm Two
solos; holding back the natural ner-
vousness OF first attempts so braYely
and throwing her best efforts into
the work in hand. Jude,s Bells Of
Seville and Petrie's Waltz Song.
Roses and Love" were beautifully
sung and were indeed worthy of any
platform. Miss Whitson need
never be nervous again. She has the
voice, a voice of great promise: her
