this country and each an artist in her
line. Miss Gather. who rendered the
opening number Of the evening il a
pianist Of the highest type. Her
/ playing at all times was marked by an
exuberance and charm which was
high in beauty; by the restraint Of
the classical form and dignity to
which the player Subjected them Her
manner was one Of ease and facility
with which she overcame the tremen-
dous difficulties both technical and
aesthetical held the audience en-
tirely at her command.
Miss Noe, dramatic soprona of
wonderful range and beauty of voice

enjoyed the privilege of hearing her.
This young artist enjoys the distinc-
ton of having sung with the Cincin-
natl Symphony Orchestra, the past

lst craves-and also being one of the
finest representatives of the Conser-
vatory of that city. One of the most
distinctive features of Miss Noes
singing, a point which is too often
overlooked by the greatest of singers.
was her wonderful enunciation. Not
a syllable was lost to any one in any
part of the audience. Her resonance
is exceptional and although she pos

yet IL is at all times pleasing and she
secures some Of the most delicate
shading by her perfect control. Her
Interpretation was such that she
compelled even the most unapprecia-
tive to derive real Joy from her work
II is to be hoped that Stanford MAY

this artist.

ford has listened to the artistic work
of one of her finest musicians-Miss
Penny of the Conservatory-and
she certainly proved herself TO be a
| prophet in her own country. The
numbers she rendered were of such
a tremendous classical depth that it
would have been sheer folly for any
one but an artist to hope to please
the most appreciative audience in
such an undertaking, yet continued
applause at the end of each number
proved that she had more than ac-

of readings. The work of this lady is
not new to the community, yet it is
too seldom that she grants the public
the pleasure of hearing her in this
role and we are looking forward to a
recital in the near future by this fin
ished artist.
Miss Mary Higgins, the accompan-
list for the evening rendered her
work to the heigth of perfection leav-
ing nothing to be desired by the most
discriminating solist.
Altogether it was one of the larg-

most diversified and pleasing prog

is a land mark of artistic apprecia-
ton achieved by the Woman's Club
of this city.
