was almost completely filled and in
cluded parents and friends of the pu-
pills Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Herman Of
Cincinnati, were guests. Mr.. Herman
Is concert meister Of the Symphony
Orchestra Of Cincinnati. He said the
affair last evening compared more
than favorably with any recital given

a young and talented violinist The
accompaniment was played by Miss
Helen Hadley The latter also playing
for Mr.. Frank Braffett when he sang,

applause after his number he would
not respond. Dale Owens played bril-
liantly last evening in his number
"Fantasie Scene De Ballet, OPP. 100 by
Oh. De Beriot. Favorable comment
was heard on all sides. He was one

progress in his work. Hilda Kirkman,
who has appeared in several recitals
recently and who will be remembered
by her splendid work as a soloist at
the High School commencement and
also at the May Festival, was better
last evening if anything than ever be-
fore. Her number was a difficult one
and was Concerto Number 9, A minor,
OPP. 104 Allegro-Adag io-Allegretto.

the program was splendid. His &C
compartment was played by his sister,
Miss Margaret Gentle. Mr.. Gentle will
teach public school music next year.

two numbers which were especially
adapted to the young violinist. Miss
