Few musicians are as gifted as
Miss Hodge, for she is truly an artist.
She is not only a wonderful technic-

program, Miss Hodge very wisely
chose several numbers which are ia

In the Bach, List and Wagnarian
numbers, her technical work was of
the highest order and her brilliant

perhaps the prize piece o the
program.
Another notable thing about Miss
