Miss Lillian An1malee, who is to

school auditorium Tuesday afternoon,
won high praise from the New York
critics when she made her debut In
the metropolis
The talented young pianist's first
New York recital was given in AGO.
Han Hall and the accounts of 1t in
the newspapers were unusually COM
plinlentary. Her brilliant European
career helped to establish her in New
York. Following are few of the no
tees given by New York critics:
The Lillian Ammalee, a
girl from the Golden West, made her
New York debut as a pianist In Aeo-
liam Hall last night. The many who
heard her play an unusual program
were convinced that she is a must
clan with rare gifts. that she posses
SEES mechanical proficiency but makes
that quality merely a means to an
end. Her interpretations illustrated
well-deveioped sense of beauty,
style and persuasive charm without
which the art Of piano playing is de-
void of interest and inspiration
Amazing BriIIiancy.
