President of Chicago Musical College
Praises Talent of BrookhaVenite.

To President Felix Borowski, of
Chicago Music College the Leader is
indebted for the following tribute
paid it's young friend, Miss Elsie
Barge, who is member of the facul-
ty of the Chicago institution
''It gives me pleasure to be able
to report to you and the readers of
the Leader the notable success won
last evening by Miss Elsie Barge of
Brookhaven, at the Young Artists
concert given in Orchestra Hall, Chi
cago, by the Chicago Musical Col
lege. AS the interpreter of the 18th
Hungarian Rhapsody by List, Miss
Barge evoked remarkable demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm from her listen
ers. Her sonorous tone, her brill
liancy of execution, her musical in
telligence, brought triumph to this
gifted pianist that was at once an
honor to herself and to Brookhaven.
It is certain that an artist of so much
gift will be heard from in the fu-
ture.
