BRILLIANT ARTISTS
 THRILL ANNISTON AUDIENCE
By IVA COOK

Anniston, September 3.-(Specialo Never in the history of Anniston has anyone received such an ovation as that accorded Miss Rose Fabian noted violinist, and Miss Mary Fd- bian, lyric soprano, Anniston girls who appeared in joint concert on Tuesday evening at the Noble thea tre. There was capacity house of representative people, many of whom witnessed the great triumph of the artists here last season, people who throughout the evening, gave proof of their unreserved admiration. Each appearance and exit was met with storm of applause and both artists were very gracious in responding to :nsistent calls for encores.
 So perfectly was the entire pro- gramme rendered. it would be impos- sible to select any number for com- ment. Rose Fabian delighted the au- dience with her clear cut interpre- tation and fiery temperament. She has bigness of style, the warmth ( tenderness, calm dignity and fluent lghtness. She has the rare faculty of being able to adapt any of her resources to the demands of the mo- ment. and if she is in whirl of mn sical passion one moment, it does not preclude giving an exact con sideration to the classic depth of what may shortly follow. Miss Fla . bian makes her tones round or thin or brilliant or crisp as suits her purpose. She has power of finger wrist and arm, technique that stops at nothing and big artist insight into the composition. An admirer has said that "oniy two people can play the violin, Rose Fabian and kreisler."
 Mary Fabian. so pretty and charm ing with q voice so musical, so magnetic. so dramatic in power. cap tivated her audience. In some ot her numbers the pathos of passion ana sorrow was thoroughly convincing. Her beautiful embodiment of easc and grace and thorough forgetfulness of self cannot but charm any cu,ti- Naled audience. Her diction in any language is polished. the enuncta- . ton clear and her temperament ads her in delineating the mood of ahy song.
 The artists were skiifuiiy accom- panied by Miss Glennis Hancock of Marietta. Ga, who interpreted the numbers with rare ability. Her technique is wonderful and the spirit she intusss in her playing as an ac- companist enraptures her audience
