Those who missed hearing this
rare artist will have missed a
joy from their lives which will
live forever in the hearts of
those who were alive to their op-
portunity and heard Miss Elvyn
interpret the outpourings of the
souls of great masters. It was
a rare chance to become ac-
quainted with the richness of
music literature and profit by
its uplifting toward truth.
Miss Elvyn held her audience
breathless with admiration by
the wonder of her graceful in-
terpretation. The interest and
fascination grew from the open-
ing number to the final encore,
and the spontaneous applause
left no doubt as to the emphasis
of the approving verdict.
She stood the true test of an
artist by taking possession of
the hearts of her audience and
making the composer's emotion
live again in the emotional being
of each one present.
She showed the well nurtured
maturity of attainments, went
through technical obstacles with
brilliant display of certainty and
virtuosity, doing the intricate
passage work with rare clarity,
and permeating the entire pro-
gram with wonderful tonal
beauty and color.
Probably the gem of her rep-
I ertoire was a "Grieg Ballado,"
which furnished opportunity for
her show of ability to meet dra-
j matic situations. The movement
1 was wondrouslv vigorous and
rapid, full of color and passion,
brilliant • to the extreme and
ringing with pure genius.
An Exquisite liquid execution
of the lyrical passages ^ of
"Kreisler" were given in a "Ca-
price" and in "Schoen Rosema-
rin;" the outpouring of Beeth-
oven's soiTowing heart _ was
heard even in "Minuet," and
"Schulz-Exler's Arabesques on
Strauss' Waltz." stood out as a
favorite and finished rendition,
displaying any amount of
rhythm, temperament, color and
exotic tone.
The small audience was de-
plorable. A great modern ar-
tist that the world loves came
into oyr midst, and Norman
showed little appreciation or
joy at her coming. With the
exception of about three score
discriminating people, Norman
profited not, but rejected the
joy she brought.
Let us wake up to the oppor-
tunities within our grasp, to the
privileges afforded lis in a Uni-
versity City and enjoy the rare
pleasures that come to us from
time to time—the things worth
while. They will do us good.
They will help us to get in tune
with the infinite, and in accord
with the truth which makes us
free, and life will be brighter
and happier for the roseate
touches among the shadows.

l farm on Route 6 today with a
wagon load of his fine apples.
He tells us he has sold some-
thing like 400 bushels this year
