pears on Musicale
Program.

Margaret June Alexander, formerly Of
this CITY. now Of New York, was the
guest artist appearing on the program
of the indianapolis Matinee Musicale
given yesterday in the Masonic Temple
Her numbers came as surprise to many
of the audience, as she came to the city
unaxpectedlv and was not scheduled on
the program.
she has fulfilled the promise Of her
early years when she studied here with
Flora Hunter, for her playing is a JOY
TO her hearers. She not only has cum
ming technical skill but she has that
hazy. indescribable something called tenn
perament which swings the audience
through harmonious intracicies along
with the artist She played TWO Chopin
numbers yesterday. the "Ballade In G
Major and q dainty ripping waltz in
brilliant fashion.
The program as & whole was most sat
fsfving The OrIoff Trio, including Jean
Oriofr, violinist; Genieve Hughei cellist
and Leonora Coffin pianist, opened the
program with an artistic presentation Of
the Beethoven Trio Op. 1, No. g. The
ensemble work of the musicians is de
cfdedly effective their shadings are
delicately handled. and the four move
ments played Yesterday we're colorfuL
ana distinctively identified by the skilful
Interpretation.
Mrs Everett c. Johnson, soprano, was
the only singer on the program. She
sang Massenet's "Elegie" and Lerouz's
1.-THE Nile" in delightful style, with
violin obligatoes played by Ella Schroed-
er, with Glenn Friermood at the piano
Mrs. Johnson's true flexible voice showed
to advantage in her numbers. and Miss
scbroeder's nice "fddling" added q note
Of pleasing variety.
An interesting feature was the Offering
of Mrs. Roy Hunt. violinist, and Mrs
Lafayette Page, pianist, in which the
Sonata for Violin and Piano in 9 Ma
jor," by Guillaume lie Ken, was heard
for the first time in Indianapolis It is
ultra classic in form, and while a little
detached in spots, holds the interest Of
the audience. The two artists presented
the movements in mastery manner, show
ing q thorough understanding Of their
subject, combined with nice technique.
Two piano numbers were played by
AIRS. B. l. Richardson. She presented

that look the simplicity of the case dis

that I had always dreamed about Tall
and straight, with hair of brown curling

Her steady blue eyes and her firm chin

you will Ike the city. and the bank and

for a moment was that question in my
mind. In the hour that followed while

little time to think of Elusive resem-

All the afternoon and evening l tried
to fit another setting around Miss

that night, in my room overlooking the
light of Los Angeles that I placed IN
my mind the circumstances Of my previ-

Mary McCOrnaic Wins Way to
Success in Opera.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Dreams do come

Thus Mary McCormic, without n dime

her golden soprano voice.
The second triumph Of the former cow

night, when she sang for the first time
the sprichtIy role Of "Musette' opposite

Carmen Miss McCormlc had made her
operate debut In a demure role. As
