The Thirteenth Festival Of

picious opening last night at the
Calvary M. E. Church with the
various members Of the Wash

the front of the auditorium to
the strains on the organ of war
March OF the Priests" Mrs. Mar
tin A. Morrison, director Of the
club introduced the recitaliStS
and the emergency substitutes.
Ann Sugar. the youngest mem
her Of the club gave the first re-
cital of the evening, displaying Q
comprehensive grasp Of musician
ship in presenting the Bach
fugue and choral. The Presto
movement from the D Major
Sonata (Beethovenl and the first
movement Of the A Minor Con-
certo, (Grieg> furnished the oc-
casions for brilliant display.
Miss Sugar was at her best In
developing the memory-lingering
theme of the first section of the
concerto and the flowing lyric
melody of the second section. But
as the masses of tone pyramid up
to the crashing chords just pre-
ceding the cadenza. the climax
was scarcely strong enough. The
cadenZa. still played with lack Of
power, was brilliant and spark
ling under her fingers, Sublimat-
ing in q mighty summation what
had gone before.
Everett Stevens, designated by
Mrs. Morrison as q composing
member" Of the club, gave q po-
etic Interpretation Of Beethoven'S
Sonata Appassionata."' whic h
was most delightful to listen to,
for which he was recalled to the
platform several times.
In presenting his own compost
tion, Concerto, r Sharp Minor"
Mr.. Stevens added a modern
touch to the recital, which was
built up with close harmony and
occasional stimulating disSon-
anceS. The themes were q bit OBJ
Scure and the harmonic structure
at times rather thin, but the com
poser doubtless succeeded IN
evolving a good example Of q
work in the modern idiom.
Tonight the joint recital will be
given by Sue laramie and Eliza
beth Rankin King. Miss Taranto'S
program follows: prelude and
Fugue in A Flat Major" (Bach):
Sonata in F Major" beethoven:
'FantaSie Impromptu in c Sharp
