...Songs"--a four part lyric--abounds in happy thoughts and pretty imagery and is beautifully illustrative in its fourth part of the effectiveness of well managed pathos when put into verse. "The Letter of Condolence," a story taken from college life, unlike many of its companions, has an ethical tone and skill in treatment which made it an unusually creditable performance.

Miss MacCarthy's performance was of the highest order-full of repose and dignity in the quieter moods, and of dash and enthusiasm in the spirited passages. Her tone is pure and rich, the high notes being remarkably clear and beautiful. The playing of the third movement of the Concerto was particularly successful...
