LOVELY PROGRAM
AT NORMAL MONDAY

One of the most delightful pro-
grams of the school year was held in
the chapel of Eastern Normal Mon
day evening, when Miss Ruth Annette
Hardin, reader, appeared for the first
time before a Richmond audience.
Miss Hardin presented the Grecian
NEUROLOGICAL comedy "Pygmalion and
Galetea." The story itself is an in
teresting one, where Pygmalion, the
sculptor, prays that the Gods will
bring him Galetea, his masterpiece, to
life. One evening when the famous
sculptor is left alone in his home, his
prayer is answered and the beautiful,
innocent Galetea appears before hom,
and pleads for his love. This is i'm
possible since he is the husband Of
Cynisca, who herself is a jealous wo-
man. The story throughout holds the
reader with interest. Seven charac-
acters compose the personae and Miss
Hardin portrayed the entire cast with
unusual ability. She has deep con-
tralto voice, and wins her audience
with her beautiful and gracious man
ner.

nice COMPLIMENT
FOR RICHMOND GIRL

The Stanford Interior Journal last
week in speaking of the Easter SER
vice held at the Christian church,
paid very pretty compliment to Miss
Cynthia Dawson, of Richmond, who
is at the head of the music depart
ment in the Stanford schools. The
Stanford paper said:
It has been good while since a
Stanford audience has been favored
with an Easter musical program of
as high order as that rendered at the
Christian church Sunday morning.
Under the efficient direction of Miss
Cynthia Faris Dawson the choir had
been faithfully preparing for several
weeks, and their efforts were amply
rewarded Easter morning. From the
Gloria Patri to the Doxology each
number was splendidly rendered and
was especially appropriate to the oc-
casion. In her solo, "Christ Is Risen
Today" Miss Dawson, more than US
ual impressed her hearers with her
voice Of rare beauty and her charm
ing personality The church was beau
tifully decorated for the occasion; the
sermon was appropriate and the SER
vice reached its climax when ten re-
spondid to the invitation to unite
with the church-six by cofession OF
faith and four by letter.
