She will appear with the Thomas orchestra at the opening "concert of the Trans-Mississippi expo sition. Un. Stella Hadden-Alexander has Wo heard in a couple of concerts since tin May Festival, and at each reappear ance has deepened the interest in her .playing. At the recital given at Ply mouth Congregational church she was heard for the first time in the works of ttje older classic composers. -The Bach-Liszt "Fantasie and Fugue" in.G minor was rendered in masterly atyle, and the broad intellectual inter--jfetaUon of Beethoven's Sonata Appas ioaata was as satisfying as her previous rendition of McDowell's famous sonata. : 'In addition the compositions of Schu ljert, Godard, Tschaikowsky, Chopin, McDowell and BubinBtein were repre sented m this program. .. Mrs. Alexander's unusual versatility and musical culture k shown in her wide choice of selections, varying from light, poetical sketches to the deepest embodi ment of musical expressioa. At the concert on Friday evening at the Presbyterian church she gave three numbers, as follows: 1. "Invitation to Danca.Weber-Taueig 2.

McDowell March Wind. ) J, Peether Carnival.., Liaat Before leaving the west, Mrs. Alexan der will appear in a concert at the Trans-Mksiseippi exposition and will play Chopin's Concerto with the Thomas Orchestra. Chete, May 18. Rarely has a Crete audience been so carried away with a program as on Wednesday evening, May 18, when a concert was given in the Con gregational church of this place. Mrs. Stella Hadden-Alexander of New York' gave a fine program with great skill and artistic taste. Her first number, Beethoven's "So nata Appassionato," required the soulful and intellectual interpretation given it by the artist. The program was so arranged that throughout the whole light and shade alternated in pleasing variety. After the quick and springing "Ballet Scene'' of Cham inade the exquisite rest of Grieg's "Poeme Erotique" quieted the puke, then the "Rigaudon- of Baff with all its joyousness and abandon melted into the beautiful dreams of Chopin's "Berceuse.' Exceeding delicacy and lightness of touch rendered "Hark! Hark! the Lark!" of Schubert-Liszt a beau, tiful -contrast to Liszt's ''Rhapsodic Hongroke" No. 12, with its Magyar wildness and fury of movement. The audience was delighted to be intro duced to two selections by our greatest American composer, MacDowell," March Wind" and "Shadow Dance." The "Music Box," by Liadow, was entirely near in Crete and was charming. The little explanatory talk with which Mrs. Alexander prefaced each number added interest and put the audience more in sympathy with the composer. Miss Ruby's two vocal numbers were very sweet, the second one especially showing the compass and volume of her voice. After the concert an informal recep tion to the artkta was given by Prof, and Mrs. Doane, where again Mrs. Alexander cturmed all by her ready response to "request" numbers.
