CENTRAL PRESENTS
 STUDENT RECITAL

Five students in the departments of
 piano and expression were presented
 in recital last night by the Central College conservatory, before an audi ence which voiced its appreciation of the program. by applause and encores. Those who heard the recital pronounc- ed t one of the best presented this year by the local school.
 Miss Joy Freeman opened the pro- gram with Chopin's "Polonaise in A." Miss Livesay's rendition of Ruben stein's "hammennoi-O -Ostrow" display ed artistic interpretation and her technique was pleasing in it's smooth ness and perfection She showed splendid power of composure, which added much to her production of this beautiful piece. Miss Bessie Martins technique thoroughly mastered the difficult passages on Mozart's Fan tasia." The attention of the audience throughout the splendid number was tribute to her ability of interpreta tion. While Miss Freeman's tenden- cies are towards the romantic school, she played Beethoven's Sonata" in good style and rhythm. and displayed a facile technic of considerable fex- ibility.
 Miss Nina Gene Shelby never ap- peared more at ease or sang more charmingly. Her first group was un- usually well received. Mrs. Howard Johnson added greatly to the success of her first number, Lohr's Where My Caravan Has Rested" by playing a violin obligato. Undoubtedly Miss Shelby was at her best in I've Sung My Song" by Ashford and Thank God for a Garden by Del Riego.
 Miss Irene Denman, a graduate of the expression department. read an from The Lion and the Mouse by Flien, and her second number was one act play, The Beau of Bath by Machay. Miss Denman has a very pleasing stage appearance and read with marked ease. Her portrayal of Ryder, the Lion of the story in her first selec- ton was strong and vivid. Her char acters were all clear and we'll taken. The atmosphere which Miss Denman created for The Beau of Bath" was excellent and she held her audience well. Both numbers were well ren- dred and received.
