Piano Recital by
Miss RObarge

Miss Mildred Robarge was heard
yesterday evening in a senior piano
recital at the Coburn auditorium,
the affair being the 55th recital Of
the Coburn School of Music. Miss
Robarge played a we'll balanced pro-
gram, her selections ranging from
List prescriptions through Mosz-
kowsli, Debussy and Chopin to
Saint-Saens. A melange of Rigoletto
airs, Transcribed by List from Verdi,
which she approached with delicacy,
yet with sufficient fervor. and Saint
Saens' Danse Macabre, in which the
orchestral background on a second
piano was played by Abbot Emerson
Smith, were the high points of her
performance. In the latter selection
especially she displayed a degree OF
familiarity with the instrument
which promised we'll for her.
Moszkowskis Sparks" quite as
scintillant as the name implies,
drew deep upon Miss Robarge's
technic, which was not found want
