MISS WADE IN RECITAL
Violinist Distinct Addition to
Ranks of Seasons Artists.

Miss Edith Wade. a violinist. whose
Aouth does not appear 10 lessen her
ound musicianly qualities, gave a re-
cital yesterday afternoon in Aeollan
Hall. The young artist proved to he
enc OF the most pleasing of the host
of violinists who have appeared before
us this season.
Her technique was entirely sufficient,
fluent and masterful. Her tone was
firm and warm. her bowling broad in
sweep and authoritative. and her in
corporations always sincere and we'll
considered. The Brahms Sonata in d
minor. which she gave with Andre
Benoist, vas admirably executed, the
reading being continent without being
dry. The other numbers included
Nordini's Concerto and Cesar Franck's
Sonata in A major. The audience was
of good size and showed much appre-
citation.
In the evening the same auditorium
held a piano recital, when Miss Hen
rietta Nicholson, an artist who has
often been heard in past years. ap-
peared before an audience OF moderate
size. Miss Nicholson is a pianist of
very competent technique which stood
her in good stead last night. Her play
ing Of the Bach Toccsta apd Fugue IN
{ minor did not reveal any great
imaginative insight. but she was more
successful in the Mozart Sonata IN F
major, playing il with considerable
grace and much clarity. The other
selections were the Beethoven Sonata
in c minor, 0p. III, three Preludes Of
Debussy, and three numbers BY Ravel
