Piano Recital by Pupils of Miss
Gamsby

Gamsby
This can be correctly termed
Ocala's musical season for beginning
with last evening and continuing for
several days the principal events will
be the annual recitals given by FIVE
gifted musical instructors. The ex-
ceIlency of Ocala's musical talent is
recognized throughout the state in
that her talent frequently con-
tributes to the success of musical
programs rendered at state meetings
OF various organizations, also that
the chairman of music OF the Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs is from
this city and judging by the thor
Oughness and charm of last evenings
program and the attractiveness of
the programs to be rendered, she
will continue through her coming
generation to strengthen yearly the
envious reputation she now enjoys.
A pleasantly anticipated event was
the piano recital last evening at the
Christian church by the pupils of
Miss Kate Gamsby, which was the
first of the series to be given. The
efficiency of Miss Gamsby's method
of teaching is attested by the large
number of pupils composing her
class and the composure of each per-
former in rendering her piece, in
dicating thorough familiarity of
work being done. The program was
rendered with great accuracy and
with remarkable quickness
AS the parents, relatives and
friends of the pupils and teachers
were filling the church, Misses Min
ME and Louise Gamsby gave out the
programs for their sisters recital
and on the cover of each was the
Following appropriate quotation:
Music resembles poetry; in each

DDS can teach and which a master
hand alone can reach

AS will be noticed the first twelve
numbers were played by very young
musicians, whose ages range from Z
TO 10 years, and their pieces were
much admired. Master Ralph Sim
mons has the distinction of being the
only boy in the class and his selec-
ton, intricate for a person Of his
years, was played with skill.
All of the numbers assigned the
senior pupils were exquisitely play
ed. but special mention must be
made of Miss Sidney Harold, who
played from memory and without

program.
