The decorations were produced by the Art Club, Golden Jack o' Lanterns, ghosts, corn stocks, and autumn leaves gave the atmosphere characteristic of Hallowe'en. A n artificial roof of black and white, with a little orange, dimmed the lights and added color. The orchestra "pit" was unique. An old-fashioned "stake and rider" fence made from old tree limbs separated it from the dancers. Myer's "Rythm Kings" from Lock Haven did their bit to make the dance move along.

Throughout every movement of the piano was equal in importance to the violin. Neither was subordinated. Hofmann with his intricate orchestral scores, held In his prodigious memory, played no accompaniment for Madame Luboshutz's violin; the two instruments were equalized in value; the two musicians were perfectly co-ordinated in their interpretations. Come from Many Cities The auditoriuni was filled beyond capacity. Additional seats had been nstalled when the large advance sale gave a hint of the hundreds who were coming. Every seat was fllled, and many, many more could have been had there been space or time to nstall them. Out-of-town automobile partlea were numerous. Williamsport, Jersey Shore, B'ellefonte, and other comparatively nearby communities were strongly represented. One party had come from Lebanon, and another clear across the state from Easton. No Light Numbers The program was a difficult one to absorb. No concessions had been made to non-musicians. Yet there was sufficient melody and more than sufllcient artistry to hold the attention of the audience to the last note.
