SECOND TWILIGHT
RECITAL PLEASES
LARGE GATHERING

Yesterday afternoon at the First Pres
hvterian church, the second Of a series
Of musical events known as the Twilight
Recttais was given by Professor New

City. and Mrs. Edward Stifel. we'll
known soprano Of Wheel ing.
These rccita1s are typical or the most

Mrs. Stifcl sang the beautiful VINO so

Most High" was productive or inc emo en-
tons attendant on the celebration OF
solemn religious ceremony or hearing
a stirring and uplifting sermon. .
Professor Ncwbury's interpretation OF
the numbers selected was that OF
scholarly mind which carefully weighed
and considered all the mnutest details
Of his playing. His technique was care
full and well balanced and his discrim-
nations in the nicctics OF phrasins
made his playing colorful and awe. IN
the orcn!ng number. Intro and Allegro
lst Organ Recital" by A. Guilmant, this
feature was particularly brought out
the intricate lights and shades Of phras-
ing being clearly displayed, and the un-
DERIVING delicate theme Of the compos-
ition as opposed to the heavier parts
standing out Nividly. Another number
which showed this quality in ifofessor
Ncwbury's playing was that of the Toe:
cato in Minor. which was marked
also by graceful rhythmic movement
which he developed with great Skill.
The closing number. variation do

brilliantly and mastcrfully. the running
variations Of the principal theme inter-
woven through the number like won

Mrs. Edward Stifel sang In splendid
voice two numbers which showed her
power and range to perfection. Her
voice in her higher tones was full. round
and resonant with power and sweetness.

started gun play in which one of
them was instantly killed, second
one died of his wounds, and the
third one surrendered. One officer
was wounded. If similar results
would follow efforts at breaking into

served.
