annual program given in the
school gymnasium Wednesday
evening.
The project was in charge of

and Jason Devereaux, Jr., grade
school instructor
A tableaux entitled IT'S Shin

Devereaux' sixth grade class of
IS students being in the cast.
The musical accompaniment
was performed by a choral group
of elementary grade students
numbering approximately 300.
Charming Christmas carols help
ed dramatize the various scenes.
At the close of the program
grade and high school students
and patrons were presented bags
Of candy, nuts and fruit.
Lavishly decorated yule trees

Last night at the Phillips Gal

Silfies gave the second in a series
of all Beethoven sonata recitals
that are a credit to their serious
ness of purpose. Programmes.
the recital will have been the
most formidable to take, for, IN
order to cover the field in three
events, they found it necessary
to play four sonatas last night.
The next and final concert will
include a much more reasonable
three sonatas.
In his playing last night, Mr..
Silfies added new evidence to
his considerable reputation for
being a thoroughly solid and
sensitive performer. There is no
dazzling display. nor is there the
slightest breach of taste is his
Beethoven. Instead, Mr.. Silfles
allows Beethoven to spead di-
rectly but nonetheless eloquently;
and, when the music really calls
for it, he can rise to a brilliant,
exciting pitch.
On hearing Mr.. Majeske in the
second Beethoven evening. his
playing becomes a riddle of dis
satisfaction, the reasons for
which are elusive. In the first
recital of the series, Mr.. Majeske
seemed to play with pleasantly
suave tone and much technical
competence, but with what ap-
peared to be ver-restraint.
Last night, there was an ap-
parent effort on Mr.. Majeske's
part to project his part of the
music, but the effect was hardly
a more forceful version of what
had seemed good in miniature
before. His soft tones, which in
the previous recital had been
