BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

"HE Won Unchuld University OF
Music concluded its scholastlc
wear with a recital at Pierce
Hall last evening at which de-
erees we're awarded the graduating
atudents. An address to the gradu-
ates was made by DR.. Walton G. John,
senior specialist in higher education
of the United States ONCE OF Edu-
cation, and the degrees were conferred
bv Nine. Marie Won Unschuld, presl-
dent of the university. In the organ
class the master of music degree, with
distinction, was given to Marguerite
Blakely Holloway, pupil of Prof. Con-
rad Bernier, and in the group OF
piano teachers course to Sister Fran
ces immaculate, S. N. D.
Mrs. Holloway was heard in two
solo numbers, Bach's "Fugue in G
Minor" and Saint-Saens' 'Marche
ReligieuSe," her playing demonstrating
not only a fine musical feeling put
artistic finish in technical details
Other students on the recital pro-
gram were from the piano, violin and
voice departments of the university.
Mime, Won Unschuld Plays.
Nine. Won Unschuld who has given
number of successful recitalS to
orchestral accomplishments, by means
of recording, throughout the country,
concluded the program with two
movements of Schumann's Concerto
IN A Minor." After experimenting
with several photographic instruments
for this purpose, Nine. Won Unschuld
has invented a foot control which al
lows of regulating the playing OF the
record to conform with the interpre-
tation of the pianist. Her playing OF
the Schumann concerto last evening
was a highly artistic performance OF
sweeping effects and expressive col
oring in which the practical sdyan-
tage of the photographic accompani-
ment over the customary second piano
was plainly evident. Its usefulness IN
giving the student an opportunity TO
practice with orchestra accompani-
ment is of ineStimable value since
occasions to play with orchestra are
rare for any but concertizing artists.
In further demonstration of its help
fulness in learning ensemble playing
Marjory Hart was heard in the Bee
1hoven Sonata in F Major" for vio-
lin and piano. Miss Hart taking the
piano part to the recorded violin.

The piano department was repre-
sented by students from the prepara-
tory to the finishing classes and ex-
cellent performances were given by
Elizabeth Gates, Nelson Hart, Thomas
Conlon, Innis Skinner, Lorraine
Schrenker and Laurette Martin. The
vocal department, in charge of Prof.
Johannes Adler-Selva. was represent
ed by Elsie Schulze, VINO sang SCOTS
The Voice in the Wilderness" and
Rubinstein's "Du bist vie eine
Blume."
Two violin students. Ronald BowleS
and Clark Hart, pupils of Nine. Won
Unschuld for the past few months,
were heard in solos, with Nine Won
Unschuld playing the second violin.
The adagio from Bachs "Toccata in
c Major" and Tartini's "Gavotte"
were played by Mary Hill Doolittle,
cellist, who will join the faculty of
the university next season. Mrs Doo-
little has a large, gracious tone and
plays with refined style and musical
taste. She will be valuable addition
10 the university faculty, the introduc-
ton of cello instruction completing
the subjects taught at the school.
