In Memorial Hall, a joint recital was given on Saturday evening by Miss Beatrice Horsbrugh, a violinist, and Miss Olga Sapio, pianist, both young artists.

Weather conditions notwithstanding, the hall was well filled with a noticeably appreciative audience. Grieg's violin and piano Sonata, op: 8, in major was beautifully interpreted. Miss Horsbrugh, in a solo Pugnani-Kreisler and in numbers by Noble, Matheson and Mozart-Auer, showed complete mastery of the violin. Miss Sapio was happy in her choice of numbers, among them Liszt's Rhapsodie, No. 12, given with admirable technique and versatility of expression.

A new musical organization, the Miniature Philharmonic, made its debut in Aeolian Hall last evening. Its object, to quote its manager's words, is "to stimulate a revival of interest in music that has been composed for small orchestras," music which it is recognized little chance of being heard so long as there is nothing between the string quartet and the symphony orchestra.

This organization has in its personnel thirty-two musicians of ability and is conducted by Jacques Grunberg, Though there is an evident lack of balance the band played exceedingly well for a first appearance, and minor faults can be eradicated in time, as the band grows in solidarity through concerted work. The program included the Overture to Gluck's "Iphigenia in a suite, "The Christmas Tree," by Rebikoff; a. Novellete, by Maria Zucca; a Norwegian Bridal March and Song of Vermland, by Sandby; a miniature march, from Grunberg's suite for small orchestra, and the Petite Suite of Debussy. "The Rebikoff the composition was played here for first time; the Sandby and Zucca compositions, from manuscript; the Debussy is best known in its arrangement for two pianos. None of the new compositions is significant.

They are all well written, but reminiscent. The Debussy composition is sheer delight in its lovely tone coloring and shimmering CHRISTMAS harmonies and a thousand times more effective in its orchestral dress. Grunberg needs a more decisive beat in his conducting. He does, however, keep orchestra well in hand, and manifested signs of excellent musicianship. There were solos by Marie Narelle, soprano, and Oshansky, DUNNE-KREWER.

A wedding of interest last Thursday at the Church of Our Lady of Victory was the marriage of Miss Lucy Krewer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Krewer, of 173 Herkimer street, to Sergeant Edward S. Dunne of the 106th Infantry, Company stationed at Spartanburg.

Attending the bride were Miss Alma Metzner, a cousin, the daughter Mr. and Mrs. Martin A. Metzner of Ronkonkoma, L. and the bridegroom's sister, Miss May Dunne.

Sergeant Edward Bonney was the bridegroom's best man and Corporal Arthur Krewer, the bride's brother, ushered. ate families guests of Mr. and The wedding party, and the immediMrs. Martin A. Metzner for the wedding supper, which was served in their apartment at the Hotel Netherland, Manhattan.

The roses used for the bride's bouquet and those of her attendants were supplied from Mr. Metzner's own greenhouses on Long Island. The bride, who was married in her traveling gown of dark green cloth and seal, was educated at St. Joseph's Academy at Brentwood, L. I.

Other Army officers present were Sergeant James Fitzgibbon and Major Frank Foley. CARUSO AND FARRAR Draw Capacity Audience at Metropolitan in Bizet's "Carmen." A second performance of Bizet's "Carmen," much better in many respects than that given at the Thanksgiving matinee, was the attraction at the Metropolitan Opera House last night, drawing the largest audience so far this season. It is so seldom that Caruso and Farrar appear together that when they do they prove a magnet. Caruso as Don Jose gave a splendid characterization of the role. Vocally he was all that could be desired, his tone production being particularly commendable, especially in the "Flower Song" in the second a for which he received a round of applause, Farrar's Carmen grows more fascinating and convincing with each appearance.

The mezzo music larly suits her style, as her middle and lower registers are full and powerful. She made much of the "Habanero" and the "Seguidilla." May Peterson's second appearance as Micaela was even more pleasing than her first. Her big aria in the third act was beautifully given and it was applauded. Whitehill was a splendid Escamillo. Minor roles were sung by Leonora Sparkes, Rita Fornia, Albert Reiss, Angelo Bada, Andres de Segurola and Mario Laurenti.

Rosina Galli was much admired for her graceful interpretation of the dance numbers. Monteux conducted, CONSPIRATOR FREED; RE-ARRESTED. Hippolitte Bouverne, the fourteenth man in the Belgian conspiracy to smuggle goods to Holland for use of the Germans aboard Belgian relief ships, who was discharged a week ago on the recommendation of Assistant Federal District Attorney Henry Ward Beer, was again taken into custody by United States Marshal Power on a charge of having entered this country without paying the head tax. He was turned over to the Immigration authorities. This Is THE EAGLE HONOR ROLL WEEK Nassau and Suffolk Names on Wednesday.
