Mrs. Taft's Patronage Gives
Assurance of Musical Excellence.
The fact that the name of Mrs
William Howard Taft heads the
list of patronesses for the piano
recital to be given by Heloise Rus
sell and Katherine Ellis at the
Playhouse on December Is gives
assurance of its musical excellence
and importance. For Mrs. Taft il
herself a cultivated musician-sht
plays the piano extremely we'll
and she has too much reverence fol
the art to sponsor anything which
savors of mediocrity. When she
was Mistress of the White House
she gave her patronage 20 music
freely-if it were good musician ne
before coming to Washington she
was one of the organizers il
remember correctly, at one TIM
the director-of the famous Gin

interest, as Katherine Ellis is Mrs
Franklin Ellis, sometime Kitty Me
Clintock, who has been popular
and prominent in society here since
she was out Of pinafores. She il

Players presentation of the en-
chanting pantomime, "LsEnfant
Prologue" will not soon forget the
haunting quality she read into the
melodies. believe the players are
to do another pantomime this year
with Mrs. Ellis at the piano.
Heloise Russell, who will appear
In joint recital with this gifted
young Washington matron, IS g
Scottish pianiste and perhaps better
known on her own side of the
water than over here.
Lady Isabella Howard, wife OF
the British ambassador, is also q
patroness, and others on the list Of
those who are interested in the
success of the concert are Mrs
Henry Getty Chiffon, Mrs. Graham
Charlton, Mrs. Eric Buxton, Miss
Brickenstein, Miss Laura Harlan
