well chosen, and included selections
from the best classic and modern
masters. Miss Doelling won immedi-
ate favor by her first number. an
"ImprOmptu in F. Sharp Major" by
Chopin. Her second number "Gnom-
enreigen,' by List, was rendered
with remarkable power, and COM
mand of tones and technic which gave
this brilliant and pretentious COM
position the inspired majesty and
mystery inspired by the genius of the
odd master. She was obliged to re-
|spond to the enthusiastic applause
with an encore number. The third
group included four movements from
Dvoraks Quintet for Piano and
String Quartet OPP. 61," played by the
quartet and Miss Doelllng. The move
ments from the allegro, andante, and
scherzo, to the finale allegro were
rendered with the proper tone shades
and expression which only the best
artists can give. The program closed
with group by the quartet. The
Lullaby" by Charles S. Skilton, a
modern American composer, was a
sweet and drowsy melody based Qp
the poem "The Sandman" by Paul
Lawrence Dunbar, and the first violin
and cello alternated in playing the
melody. The second number Of the
group was characteristic German
Folk Song" counterpointed by Kaess-
mayer, and the program closed with
the brilliant "Scherzo" from Quarteto
Op. "a, by Glazounow. The audience
insisted on a final encore number,
which was gracefully given.
