Music that charmed hearers (From The Sun of Wednesday) Whatever are Salisbury's other claims to fame, Its beauty, its histor ic past, its Hospitality, there is one respect in which it stands pre-eminent . and that is in the unusual musical talent for a city of its size. A place which can boast of such musicians as J Miss.Hattle Crawford and the Mi: t . I . . U,C .IT Z; S-1 Mrs. R. H. Matthews, Mrs. D. M. Mil ler and James Rideoutte has every reason for pride. And when to them are added the silvery voice of Mrs. E. E. Kephart, the skilful touch of Mrs. Van Campen at the piano and the re markable vicj n playflng of Master Charles M. Kephart, it is small won der that the large audience which as sembled lat night In Wachovia hall, Spencer to attend a concert given under the auspices of the Ladies Aux iliary of the Y. M. C. A. was unable to refrain from constant expressions xjf pleasure. It is said on all sides that in every sense the concert surpassed any that has ever been given in Spen cer and this TheSun man, who thro' the courtesy' of. the musicians was a delighted auditor, is sure is not an ex aggerated statement. The hall was well filled by an audience intelligent and appreciative and a considerabe sum was realized for the benefit of .the new Y. M. C. A. building. The program commenced witih a piano duet by the Misses Stallings, and it was a most auspicious begin- nine. A se ection difficult in the ex- treme was rendered in a manner that I Can only be described as brilliant and at the conclusion the Misses Stalling were greeted with applause, as, i fact, was every number, Franz Abt's "Ave Maria" followed. It was sung as a trio by Mrs. E. E. KeDhart. Mrs. D. M. Miller and Mrs. R. H. Matthews and there isn't really any need to say anything more. Praise u.or Riinprflnoiis- There is notning i i more difficult than to sing in a trio Vn tv,o nnriipnop was irlven no hint of this, so perfectly did the voices Lbn onA harmonize. , Strelezskl's "Dreams" by R. H. u .v. ' .t(uwa wa th first number by a WUiVUV ' " w - male voice. Those who have heara Mr. Matthews sing can readily under stand the exquisite delight his song gave. Distinguished from other voices by a subtle sweetness all its own, it was at its best last night. Jil O " I gions," thought by many to be Lucan tonl's most surpassing composition, was sung by a quartet, composed of Mrs. D. M. Miller, Mrs. R. H. Mat thews, and the Messrs. Matthews and the Firs! Methodist church of Sails bury and have done much to give that church the reputation of having the best music in town. Once again the .descriptive powers of The Sun man fall him to tell of the flawless shad Ing of voice into voice, the harmony, the sweetness of the anthem. The audience broke forth into unrestrained - enthusiasm and though it had not been intended to respond to encores, lest the programme should grow too long, the quartette graciously respond ed to the insistent demand and sang "Saviour, Breathe an Evening Bless ing." . Master Charles M. Kephart, the young son of Mrs. E. E. Kephart, whose violin playing is not as well known as it deserves, then gave the Fantasie, Old Oaken Bucket. Fault less in execution, the youthful player surprised those unacquainted with his playing by the depth of feeling and the sympathy which enabled him to make the violin speak its message tos the responsive ear. In response to the long-continued applause he gav as an encore the Waltz "Over th Wave." None but purposely flippant has .t r r ? f ilia roolm nf rr ri orn rjj- ut in ii iiiw T7 ciiv mau j h auvsv u musical composItMs offers ho song of ; greier sweetness fhaa DeKoven's famous "O, Promise irfe and & sung . by firs.

Mr. Rideouile's voice was heard for" the first time last night in the next number, ' Adam Giebel's "Praise Ye the Lord," sung by a trio, the other members being Mrs. Kephart and ' Mr. Matthews. Rich, strong and full a voice like his . would seem to possess infinite possibilities many of which have already been realized. It har : monSzed exquisltiely with the bird like soprano of Mrs. Kephart and the sweetness of M'n. 'Matthew's voice, mention of which has already been ' made. From every view point, it was ' one of the most satisfactory numbers ' on the programme. A revelation to many of her hearers - was Miss Stallings' rendition of Lizst's '"Spinning Song," a composition so dif ficult that none but the bravest dare essay it, yet given with brilliance and perfection of execution only to be de scribed as marvelous. r But one mishap occurred during the CiCUlUg auu uiaw donment of the next number "The , Angel's Serenade," Braga's violin ob ligato, with Master Kephart at the vi olin, Mrs, Kephart as the soloist and One of the violin strings had broken and although, a start was made, the effort had to be given up, to the in tense regret of the audience. "Thy Sentinel Ami" ung a$ a solo by Mr. Rideoutte, aroused the public to the highest enthusiasm of the eve ning and it did not seem as if no one could get enough of his singing.. As i an encore he. sang a Tolllcklng boat- ing sob$. The concert concluded with "Good Night, Beloved," by Mrs. Kephart. If, the entertainment, like all mundane , pleasures, must have Its end," it could .hardly have terminated more pleas- antly than by having Mrs. Kephart's voice the last memory of an occasion so wholly charming, There remains but one thing to be said and this is hard to say, because ... i 2Ki ald S''1?! English language is so deficient in superlatives. The success or failure ofj a concert is almost wholly in the ;g nanas 01 me accompanist, ana n sne should fail in one iota it is futile for the singers to do their best, even' if they could. Gifted with -a rare sym pathy, with a perfect understanding of the needs of each of the several voices, effacing herself that the ac companiment1 mfghtf harmonize and not distract, possessing a wonderful softness of touch, herself the most ac complished musician of them all, the crowning touch was administered by Miss Hattie Crawford, who acted as accompanist. The concert was under her skilled direction and its success is in greater measure dit3 to Miss Crawford than to any other partici pant.
