The Obstacle Race

The student of history discovers very
soon that life Is really work, and that
the more of 1t there il the happier Is
the individual who does 1t.
The youth who begins a career with
the idea of amassing fortune which
will enable him to loaf will never gain
the fortune or get the enjoyment out Of
lOating he expects.
T IFE Is really an obstacle race.
IL Hurdles are set up for us, and we
take them as best wc can. Sometimes
we stumble, but II we are the right
sort we pick ourselves up and go on,
The taking OF the first hurdle enables
us better to take the second. When we
have taken a few thousand none Of
them seem 40 big or 30 troublesome to
us.
We have acquired the obstacle habit,
and we are fairly well equipped for the
rest Of the journey.
TNIIE work hnter---the man who seems
l. to have others do his work for him
does not belong In life. lie will find
it very unpleasant and distressing, un-
less he cultivatcs enough common sense
to pitch In and do as those around him
do--make an obstacle race of 1t, and
set q lot Of fun out Of running Il.

from this singer. The Russian bal
lad "Ditiatko" OF Paschaloff Is
rightly named the Russian Fri.
King. And it was a gripping drama
as Miss Gutman sang It. The
American Indian MY Rose" ar
ranged by Lieurance, stood out for
breadth and dignity of appeal.
Percy Such has been better known
to us as an ensemble player than as
soloist. He Is a highly finished and
artistic cellist, and his tone is richly
vibrant with shading in every phrase
that makes his interpretations, to-
gether with a big technique, both in
teresting and admirably musical. AS
composer of some variations on a
theme of Paganini, Mr.. Such shows his
mastery Of the possibilities of his in
strument and also his broad command
of forms In composition. His double
stops were exceptionally pure and rich
IN his solo variations, and his apprecia-
ton Of melody excellent in the Loca-
tell Adagio and waltz by Davidoff.
He lacks at times dramatic emphasis
and in his concerted work with Miss
Gutman kept too much in the back.
ground. The recital was enjoyable
for its musicianship and for much
that was new on the program.

GUTMAN RECITAL

At AUDITORIUM
Soprano With Percy Such as
ceIIist Delights in Goucher
Benefit Program.

A soprano with a cello tone Is
something rather unusual. Yet such
a designation might be given to
Elizabeth Gutman, soprano. who was
heard in concert last evening with
a delightful cellist, Percy Such, at
the Masonic Auditorium. The con-
cert was for the benefit Of Goucher
College and many Of the alumnae
gave color to the evening, in their
attractive bright gowns, by acting
as ushers.
M IS Gutmen has delightful
color in her voice. with warmth and
a fine dramatic sense. She is a
creator of art songs. meaning that
mood finds reflex in her information
and her covered tones are lovely and
really luminous. The singers art
was shown n her echo song "Sur
rAlpe Vo sine" by Dalcroze, that
she gave charmingly, her mezzo
voice being particularly good.
