Miller, director of the ‘Washington branch of the Virgil Clavier Plano School, presented a group of stu- dents in a recital at Barker Hill in the Y. W. C. A. headquarters last night. ‘Two students received special awards. Elinor G. Webb was given the teachers and performers’ certificate and Florence M. Storm was lfrasmfied with the gold medal for application and protrels in the intermediate class. ‘Webb played a prelude and fugue from Bach’s “Well Tempered Clavichord” and two Schumann works. She showed carefully worked-out preparation of her numbers, but has yet tq achieve the true spirit of either composer—the crisp buoyancy of Bach and the lyric poetry of Schu- mann. There were phrases that were Jovely in the “Novelette No. 7,” and the presented the contrapuntal work of the Blch fugue very well: Miss Storm played her two numbers with nice, light wuch D. C, THURSDAY, and smoothness in her style of interpre- tation. ‘The two most mature formers last night were Pauline Graff, who received her certificate in 1925 and George Cornwell, who received his in 1926. Both played works by Chopin -with poised control of tone and much expres- sion. There were times when more re- pression in interpretation would have made for increased smoothness in sus- taining the correct tempo and better blending of ining phrases. Both Miss Graff and Mr. Cornwell were com- pletely at ease on the stage. Mr. Corn- well appeared,. additionally, as com- poser and accompanist. Ruby Grimsley, who sang his song, “A Spring Ro- mance,” was assisting soloist of the evening. Mr.. Cornwell's song is a charming light number, somewhat of the type of some of Liza Lehmann’s songs. It has gayety and color, with plenty of glissandos and trills to please both accompanist and singer. Grimsley also sang works by MacFadyen and Manna-Zucca. Another former certificate winner, Margaret Loane, wgn much applause for her presentation ‘of .two MacDowell works early in the program. She also had a Liszt number scheduled as the iss | night JUNE 27, 1929.. final event of the evening. Elizabeth Hartung, to whose less expukneed hands fell the task of mm, acquitted hersel of pardonable nervousness. Allpreu Meyer gave a reading of Scott's “Lotus Land,” whlch if the tempo were made just a little faster to avoid a effect, would be ex- cellent. H F CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY.
