LOCAL PIANIST
HIGHLY PRAISED
Stanley Freedman Pre-
sents Concert at Julius
HART School of Music

Stanley Freedman, local pianist,
received high praise by Hartford
critics for his performance Tuesday
night in that city at the Julius HART
School of Music. Mr.. Freedman has
been heard in recitals frequently in
this city. That his work is above the
ordinary is attested by the favor
with which he was received this
week and the splendid notices fol-
lowing his recital.
Young Freedman, who Is not yet
twenty-one, played Bach, List and
Mozart, his Bach being the List
transcription of the Fugue In g
Minor. He played the A Major Con-
certo by Mozart. A writer in the
Hartford Times in most compli-
mentary review says of Freedman:
Last Spring your chronicler heard
for the first time the young pianist
Stanley Freedman, and came away
with recollections mainly Of aston
ishment at his usefulness and tech
nical facility. To report that 1t is
a pleasure to hear him play must
not be taken as too faint praise.
Stanley doesn't make his listeners
nervous. You know that everything
will turn out all right, which makes
for confidence, which makes for
pleasure"

Chance to Cooperate
AS far as possible the course Is
so arranged that each student Is
given a chance tc operate all the
more important machines used In
the machinist trade. The progress
the student makes depends on his

the projects included IN the course
he Is advanced to making parts.
This includes making threads
gears, pulleys, face plate work and
many other operations too numer-
Gus to mention.

POCOMOKIANS RETURN

The following article clipped from
the Evening Chronicle, an Allentown
paper, in it's issue of April % will be
of interest to our readers: "Mrs. /. T.
Costen, 90, of Pocomoke, Nd, with
her daughters, Addie, Olivia and
Nlizabeth, is visiting her granddaugh-
ter, Mrs. w. Belford Roth. Accom-
panying the group to Allentown was
CYNTHIA Blaine, also of Pocomoke,
who has gone to Easton to visit her
sister, Mrs. John Lydon. All who
dread the thought of passing 80,
please note: Mrs. Costen insisted on
going to New York yesterday, so she
could view the world-famed Radio
City. This spry little grandmother
has the kind of curiosity (and there
are several kinds) that refuses to let
the mind crumble into ruins, as long
as there is life within the body walls. )"
After a very pleasant visit in Allen
town, Mrs. Costen and her daughters
have returned to their home in this
city.
