Wallace college Tuesday night was an
event long to be remembered by the
Sc Medina pople attending. The spec

Conservatory a half hour before the
first number of the recital. Mr.. Kellar
of Chicago played each of the ten
numbers in way which showed great
skill on this wonderful of Instruments
Though it has IA stops and over 30
combination pistons, Mr.. Keller was
at home on this new organ. Several
of our leading musicians pronounced
this the best organ recital they have
ever heard. The numbers enjoyed the
most were the Funeral March" by
Guilmant and the Romanza composed
by the organist in which the harp and
the cathedral chimes were used. Pro-
grams were given out for a series OF

schneider on the first and third Sun

If the audience in attendance at the
opening organ recital at Berea were
pleased, they were delighted at the
rendition of the "Rose Maiden" or
Wednesday evening. The solo work
was pleasing, especially the tenor
who had an exceptionally clear anc
beautiful voice. The numbers most
pleasing were those presented by the
we'll trained chorus under the direct
ion of Prof. Reimenschneider. The
Bridal Chorus" and finale were Of
the most ponderous and the crescendc
work in the finale lifted one off theil
feet. Mr.. Keller's accompanying was
done we'll and the audience was more
than pleased when, by the request Of
the Medina party, he repeated his owr
composition heard on Tuesday.
