MUSIC, AND ELOCUTION RECITALS.
.!
The music and elocuti'6n recit;Li given
Tuesday (evening, December 12th, was a
great successand was well attended.

with tpe Ladislaw by Schyralski, which

ladies for giving as fine a: drama as "Rebecca's Triumph."
The audien<;e enjoyed
the play so much th~t Miss Schillinger has
been a&ked to have it repeated, many thinking it one of \he best f!:iven by the Elocution
Department. Special mention must be given
the two comedi~ns of t~e.play, Misses Fitz~

p~no solos by Mlss SpItler and MISSEkas
also showed excellent work, Miss Spitler's

Ger~ld and Ohve SchIlhnger. In fact all!
did so well that the entire cast should be

rendition' of the Bolero, by Lack, being especially ~dtlcable, as she so well depicted
the abandon and gaiety of the Spanish Dance.
Miss Rey~olds, the deservedly popular
Director of the Music D~partment, sang
Barney's "Love's Farewell,"
The song
showed to advantage the singer's sweet and
highly cultivated voice: To cthose who
heard and saw Miss Reyno1ds ,for the first
time, it was a revelation of her power as an
artist, and of her markedly graceful and
,charming stage presence.
Mr. ~awkins played the Air Varie by
Beriot with his usual breadth and style.
This artist is always warmly received -and
greatly enjoyed by everyone,
Mrs. Flickinger sang very effectively a
double number, Schubert's Serenade a,nd
Denee'sLullaby,withviolinobligato.
These
selections suited well the singer's exception"
ally sweet and beautIful V()lCe, and were
most artistically rendered.
