The youthful Quaker City artist, the idol of the entire race, thoroughly captivated the audience. The applause which gretted every number attested their enjoyment and appreciation.

Critics have lauded Miss Anderson's remarkable voice for a number of years. Its richness, its depth, its full, round tones all have been emphasized.

One was "carried away" by her artistic phrasings and individual interpretations.

The German group was particularly enjoyable. Schubert's "Der Krlkonig" and "Im Abendroth" showed excellent technique. In the Knglish songi "Lullaby," Scott, and "Hills," La Torge, were well re ceived. i The snititual erouD was excebtion i allv well done: Miss Anderson gra ItV, cntanl Anonrns Sf Ut ll 1 1 wimi 'u' Mr. wili'am i iving, ac me piano, gave the ringer masterly support.
