Society

A most successful recital closed the
series OF concerts arranged by Prof.
Frederick K. Hicks when he presented
a number Of his advanced pupils last
night. Mr.. Hicks was assisted by
Mrs. Charles Igelman, well-known vo-
,calist of this city, and Gertrude Kirk
patrick of Anderson, a pianist OF I'M
usual ability. She so delighted the
large audience that after playing
rDanse," by Debussy, she was forced
to respond to an encore. Mrs. lgel-
man sang THE Star" by Rogers, and
81 Hear a Thrush at Eve" by Cad
man. Although applauded for some
time Mrs. Igelman did not respond.
Her numbers were well chosen and fit
ted in nicely with the remainder OF the
program. The violin pupils were at
their best, and their numbers were
played with more than ordinary tai
ent. The first number, Concerto, No.
4, in D, by Mozart, with the first
movement allegro and cadenza, by
Hermann, as played by Miss HIRAM
Hadley, was full of rhythm and tech
nique. He tones we're good, and he
appearance was pleasing in every way.
Miss Corinne Nusbaum made a hit
when she played Regrets, OPP. 40" by
II. Vietemps. Her tones were won

J. Viotti was played by Miss Hi!da
Kirkman. Her technique was perfect
and her tone was exceptionally good
when consideration of the difficulty Of
the number is given. Dale Owens,
when he played "Andante." from Vio-
lin Concerto, OPP. 81 by Mendelssohn,
got beautiful singing tone and his
number was one Of the best on the
program. Miss Ruth Scott captivated
her audience when she played "Bal-
lade ct Polonaise," Op. 38, by View
temps. This is difficult number, but
the musician seemed to feel the COM
position and knew just how to inter
pref it. Her tone quality was above
criticism. The concerto by Robert
Gentle was full of dramatics, and Mr.

splendid.
