of Miss Beatrice Shelton, one of Sa
lem IS piano teachers, and in the pre-
sentation of her advanced pupils on
last Thursday night she achieved what
was popular success but an artistic
triumph.
| A great many recitals are bores; this
was not, and it was due to the careful
! planning of Miss Shelton. 1t takes ex-
ira labor to get out of the usual rut OF
recitals but the interest of the audi
enee fully repaid, in this instance, all
TIE effort it took.
"A Day in Garden was the theme
of the evening s program, and the num-
bers were cunningly arranged to repre-
sent the various hours Of the day. This
idea was further enlarged by bits Of
poetry appropriately appended to each
selection, which also helped character
! ize it. This feature gave an added
chaim and insight into the theme of
the piece.
These things helped wonderfully to
accentuate the entertainment of the
evening. They were only setting,
however, for the students of Miss Shell
ton in showing their excellent tech
nique, careful phrasing, originality and
imaginative Interpretation. All of the
students did exceptionally well and
gave credit to themselves and their in
structor.
AS her assistants, Miss shelton secur-
ed Mrs. Halle Parrish Hinges, pOpu-
lar Salem soprano; Mrs. Viola Vercler
Holman, noted violinist, and Miss Lii
liam Siege, vialinist; Mrs. Holman,
violin, Mrs Alfred Schramm, piano;
II. y. Stoudenmeyer, bass viOl, and
Miss Shelton, organist, as an orchestra.
The opening number was by the or
chestra and was artistic in every re-
spect.
Mrs Hinges was in excellent voice
and delighted the audience. Her song,
F" Yesterday and Today" was beauti-
full number Her most effective number
was "Good Night Sweet Dreams. -
Miss Siege and Mrs. -lolman played the
obligato with exquisite effect and rem
dered the selection charming.
Very beautiful was the Medita-
tion, representing evening, played by
Mrs. Holman, violin, Mrs Alfred
Schramm at the piano, and Miss SAel-
ton .. the organ. The work of both
Mrs. Holman and RS. Sehramm was
very good

tions under the supervision of Miss
