Artists Give
 Fine Recital
 With Ampico

Elest enjoyhbia recital was given Monday evening at the Cupheag club, &sEratfofd, by Alexander Gum, pianist and Miss Rose Dreeben, soprano, One cilat was tho fact that these artists were assisted by the Ampico repro ducing piano, The Ampico accom- panied Miss Dfeeban in all her songs and reproduced ehree Chopin pre- ludtIs and 6 characteristic negro Juba dance by Dett, both played by MT. Gum, with remarkable fidelity. It gave unquestioned proof how great iscs exact touch, and most subtle tone.
 As to the artists themselves they proved to be. in the opinion of many Bridgeport musicians, equipped with sound musicianship and the faculty emotions called for by their varied program.
 Miss Dreeben's voice was revealed to be of delightful quality and her interpretations were most sympa- thetic and appealing. Chief among her numbers were the Balletalla from ''Pagliaca," "A des Oiseaux of Hue," Thayer's My Laddie" and the de- lightfuI Cuckoo Clock" by Shaeffer, which was repeated by demand of the audience.
 MT. Gum is one of the younger American pianists who is steadily making a place for himself. He showed good grasp of techn1c and a sensitive feeling for tone. His prin- cipa1 numbers were a group of short Mcdowell pieces, a Chopin nocturne, waltz, three preludes and the List ar engagement of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde" music.
 These artists will be heard in Bridgeport and vicinity at various clubs during tn eweek. A public concert at the High school will be held Thursday evening, where all may avail themselves of the oppor- tunfty to hear real music CompH- mentary tickets may be obtained at the Alfred Fox Piano company, Bridgeport.
