Miss Gerhardt has full well rounded

group of songs by Schubert showed to
advantage the ability and splendid train
ing of the artist. Miss Gerhardt also
sang a group of Brahms songs which the
audience received with much enthusiasm.
Walter Golde accompanied Miss Gerhardt,
Mr.. Zimbalist was in good form. The
Sonata in e major" by Haendel, which
opened the program was simply and ex-

of the young Russian. The program was
varied and showed Mr. Zimbalist At his
