BETHANY- HINES
HARRIS-GREENM AN.
Tuesday evening, April 3, two
members of the Senior Class, Miss
Helen Hines, pupil of Miss Jessie
Millsapps, and Miss Jewell Bethany,
pupil of Mr. Carl Venth and Reuben
Davies, were heard in a program
which reflected much credit upon
themselves and their instructors.
Miss Bethany demonstrated her
comprehension of ensemble playing
in an excellent performance of the
Sjogren Sonata with Mr. Venth
She played the Beethoven Sonata
Op. 2, No. 3, with intelligence and
careful attention to detail. Her Chop-
in group showed keen insight and
skill in technique. Miss Bethany's
own work "A song," which was sung
by Miss Hines, was,an expression of
the character of its composer. The
remander of this group, "Danse Ni-
gre," by Scott, "Autumn" by Mow-
skowski, and "Etude E Major" by
Mac Dowell, made a fitting conclu-
sion for this well rendered program.
Her work throughout was intensive,
marking her as one well schooled in
' uiiu iiiuaicif1 oLijy.
Miss Hines showed rare ability in
her interpretation of "The Prince
Chap" By Pepel. Her characteriza-
tion was perfect, showing a finess at-
tainable only by conscientious appli-
cation coupled with an inborn genius.
In her own inimitable way, she por-
trayed "Piggy," that adorable person
whom we watched in her develop-
ment from childhood to maturity,
William Peyton, the "Prince Chap,"
left a vivid impression on the hearts
of the,hearers. Every emotion, now
joy, now pathos, thrilled through-
each one present. „ "The Prince
Chap" was individual by reason of
the personality of the reader.
The secondof the Senior recitals was
that of Miss Floy Greenman, Expres-
sion and Miss Hildred Harris, piano.
The program was opened with an
ensemble number in which Miss Harris ]
supported Mr. Venth in a very capable I
manner. In the Beethoven Sonata Op.
14, No. 1, Miss Harris showed a musi-
cal grasp of the three movements unit-
ing each technical repuirement with
skill and ease. The Chopin group ap-

Miss Harris did her best work in the j
last number. The Moreaw Charact-
teristic, her own composition, was
especially interesting in its rythmic
aspects. She interpreted the Debussy
numbers, The Prelude ahd Clair de
Lune, with the true charm of the mas-
ter modern composer. In the Prelude
in C Minor by Rachmaninoff, the
pianist gave a fitting climax to her de-
lightful part of the program.
Miss Greenman's intensely dramatic-
interpretation of Kennedy's "The Ser-
vant in the House" was received with

inspiring reverence was'"kindled in the
hearts of the audience as they listened
to the ruling of the minister's house,
hold by Manson, the Christ Spirit, who
was the foremost 'character in the
story. The reader's pantomime was
vividly strong yet at the same time
very subtle, and her own personality
was displayed in the difficult charac-
terization. Miss Greenman's voice
was particularly adapted to the story.
Every aspect of her work was indica-
tive of concentration and sympathetic
assimilation.

Miss Olive Swaggerty, Senior in
Expression, and Mr. Eugine Bandy
Senior in Violin, appeared in joint
recital in the College auditorium Wed-
nesday evening, April the eleventh.
..Miss Swaggerty gave "The Twig of
Tfiorn," a fascinating love story bas-
ed on the folk lore and superstitions
of thei Irish people. Shewore a dress
of green over white silver lace, which
showed to advantage her perfect
body work in the dainty little fairy
dances. Her voice, though often soft
and low, was so perfectly centered
and controlled that it carried to all
parts of the auditorium.
The stage was a veritable Fairy-
land with its dark green background,
masses of palms and the large bas-
kets of thorn flowers. The use of a
spot light was very effective.
Mr. Bandy showed the talent and
skill of a true artist in the rendition
of the beautiful selections. He open-
ed the program with the "Melody"
by Nevin and the "Kiauwaki" by
Weieneaw.ski. Boht these numbers
he played with excellent understand
ing and in a manner that was very
pleasing to his hearers. In the con-
certo No. 7 by De Beriot, Mr. Ban-
dy had a chance to prove both his
technical and tonal acquirements. He
did both in an entirely satisfactory
manner, playing the work with un-
usual ability. In the "Indian La-
ment" by Kreisler he gave an ex-

baskets of flowers also added to the
beauty and tended to create an atmos-
sphere of delight for the program.
Miss Snodgrass' audience gave vent
to its appreciation of "Peg 0' My
Heart" by continued applause. Her
characters were real and especially
did she charm her listeners with Peg's
droll remarks and cunning Irish way
Perhaps her next best appreciated
character wa's't&it of Alaric, the Eng-
lish snob.
Miss Snodgrass' pantomime stood
out wonderfully and was truly mani-
festative. Every move was artistic
and graceful. In fact, the whole
story was one which delighted and ap-
pealed to the young as well as the se-
date, and is not soon to be forgotten.
Miss Cerveny's programme was
equally as attractive as the reader's.
The Swedish Rhaphsodie for violin
and piano was deeply suggestive of
the composer and was played in fine
style. The Beethoven Sonata Op. 2
No. 1, was executed in both an artistic
and technical manner; especially
pleasoing was the Allegro movevent.
The pianist's Bach and Chopin group
showed an unusual amount of color-
ing and sympathetic interpretation.

Dean Venth Repeats
New York Concert
that Fort Worth people have listened
to this season, the Venth concert on
Tuesday evening stands as one of the
bestf "'and most thoroughly enjoyed.
The Harmony Club, as a favor to the
season ticket holders of artists con-
certs, asked Mr. Venth to repeat the
concert given last winter in New
York under the auspices of the Mac
Dowell club. The program was com-
posed entirely of Mr. Venth's own
compositions. They consisted of a
sonata for violin and piano, sonata for
piano, and a trio for piano, violin and
I cello. He was assisted l>v Mr. Reuben
i i)avi(>5^ pianist, director of the piano
i department of T. W. C., and Mr. Max
j Hoehstcin of Dallas, cellist. The son-
ata for violin and piano, played by Mr.
Venth and Mr. Davies, was most en-
thusiastically received. Its nobility
and dignity of style were very impres-
sive. The sonata Appassionata, for
piano, showed splendidly the versa-
character. It pre-

in fitful, restless rustles.
The girls and matron, who lived in
the old building, spent a right of
horror, each thinking her mind was
surely failing. In the morning as the
girls, heavy-eyed, trooped from the!''
rooms, they found on every door a
tiny black mask; the hall was full of
the fumes of incense; a broken vio-
lin string lay upon the floor. Sud-
denly the meaning dawned upon
them. "Why! it was the Deep Dark
Mystery Klub of course," someone
sighed in relief.

of an evening in Russia was written
by Minnie Victor, who has been in
America from Russia only two years.

It was a beautiful evening in June.
Quietness and peacefulness prevailed
all over fcl^e ,village Bobrovo. The - '
peasants were sitting here and there
in groups on earth banks at the front
of their houses. They were resting
after a long day of hard work, smok-
ing long lime pipes and talking about
the results of the coming abundant
crop.
"If we will have a good crop this
year, we will be able to get the nec-
essary things for ourselves and our
household, a pretty dress for our
wives, beads and ribbons for daugh-
ters. and a new cap for our boys,"
said Ivan, an old citizen of Borova,
who .was respected by everyone for
his old iuu- wide awake mind, and,
especially, because he was the father
of the beautiful daughter, Mariana.
"Let's pray our Lord and ask him
to better our financial conditions by
next fall so that we migh't be able to
fulfill our wishes. Ah! There our
loving birds are coming from the '
field. Just listen how sweet they
sing under the accompaniment of my
little Mariana."
For several blocks a company of
about thi-ty boys and girls was ap-
proaching They were on the way
home retuining from the field where
they mowt hay under the ho!

everybody going back to the village!
Did you ever watch a group of coun-
try girls and boys returning home
and singing from the depths of their
hearts the folksongs which »,re full
of tragedy and poetry? Joy, happi-
ness, love, and hopes to have more of
these hard days of work, more of
these peaceful summer evenings—
were coming out from the feelings
of these young people.
There was one person who lifted
the spirit of everyone in the bunch,
who smiling at a sad face suddenly
changed it to a bnght^and satisfied
one, who had equal feelings toward
everybody in the world beginning with
the little helpless kitten and ending
with family of their landlord, Mr.
Peter Matveevitch Bondarenko. It
was Mhriana, the possessor of these
qualities, the daughter of the gray
moujic, Ivan. It was Mariana, who
was unanimously elected as a direct-
or of the village chorus for her
strong, clear, and touching every soul
voice. And it was she who cheer-
fully and plainly accepted the hon-
orable position of a "zapevalo."
Mariana was admired by every girl
in the village; eyery boy worshipped
her for her mild disposition. They
sought a moment to get a chance to
speak to her, they Really counted
themselves born under a lucky star
when this plain girl invited them to
a "kvaas" party.' Marriana did not
seek to have the superiority and pop-
ularity among the young folks, and it
seemed that there was not a single
girl with a feeling of hostility to-
ward her—everybody was her friend,
and she was friendly to everybody.
The company of young singers ap-
proached the old men and women,
their parents, who waited for the
hungry, but happy children.
".Well, well, my sweet nightingale!-'
greeted Ivan to his daughter,.Mariana.
"I suppose you are hungry and tired,
and wish to get a good rest. Come
on, darling, let's have supper, mother
is waiting already for us. Good bye
you all, I'll see you tomorrow on the
field." said the old man bidding good
night to the resL
"Good night. Ivan! Good night,
nightingale, don't forget to sing for
us when we go to bed! Mariana,
you know we enjoy always nightin-

garden, but we admire to hear you
you. Time is close upon our heels so „ ,
we must be going. Good day, and to sing!" said a well-to-do peasant
