MUSIC NOTES

ltions of the violin" family quartet.
1t is these things that so lift Mr..
Holt and his ensembles above the
average groups for the ''fretted
instruments" The quartet also
accompanied Miss Anne Moffat,
lyric soprano. in her very charming
singing of '"They call me Mimi
from Puccini's opera La Boheme."
Here is a young and lovely voice
that flows evenly and sWeetly. and
that holds definite promise OF ex.
cellent things. Miss Moffat gave
the Puccini music with real appeal,
though the quartet was somewhat
too light as accompaniment. Harvey
T. Townsend, tenor, was another as.
sisting artist, giving two melodious
songs with Carl S. Willard, a very
gifted accompanist, at the piano.
Miss A. E. Hill and Charles A.
Conrard gave mandolin and gui.
tar concert waltz" that showed viz.
tuoso technique.
Violet MacIntyre was soloist on
the Hawaiian guitar, with Mr.. Holt
as accompanist on the guitar. She
proved what a charming solo iE~4ru.
ment 1t may be and what a spirit
of out-of-doors it creates.
Crispness and tunefulness are at.
tributes of Mr.. Hollis Nordica Banjo

his musicianship that so thorough
foundation, in sincerely good
music, is given students who carry
