those expressive musical elements which are needed in the interpretation of great works. Her tone, however, suffers at times in intricate passages and looses its purity. This was noticeable occasionally in the Sarasaite number, a very difficult composition, and one which Miss Clark, on the whole, rendered superbly.
A singer new to a Lawrence audience was introduced in the person of Miss Few, of Kansas City. Her voice is a very pleasing one, rare in quality, and gives promise of rapid and permanent development. Miss Few, who is a pupil of Mr. Farrell's, sang with true musicianly feeling and instinct. She was encored at each appearance, as was Miss Clark.
The playing of Miss Abbie Noyes was looked forward to with interest. In her Saint Saens number she did some beautiful work, showing a variety of touch and her usual technical facility. Her fullness of tone and surety of touch, however, seem to have diminished since her last appearance here some two years ago. Although her playing is much more mature in expression, nevertheless it lacks artistic breadth. But she does play most daintily and with charming grace.
Miss Bertha Whitaker never played better, and she always plays well. The opening and closing numbers by the members of the faculty of the School of Music were, as usual, well rendered and thoroughly enjoyed. Another feature of the program was the excellent playing of Mr. Edward Farrell upon that instrument so difficult to get good music from—the banjo. The male chorus under Mr. Marshall's direction—the Schumann club—sang two selections excellently and in good taste. The club possesses much good material and has been well drilled. The first tenors, as in all male choruses, are too weak, and the first basses too
strong, somewhat destroying the balance of parts in the softer passages but was scarcely noticeable in the forte passages. The entire concert was a very enjoyable one and was also successful financially.
