Sweeney, Kanzler
Are Outstanding
In Student Recital
Expression in the violin playing
of Peggy Sweeney and individual
ity in the piano playing of Jane
Kanzler were the main features of
the student recital given last night
at the Music auditorium.
Miss Sweeney’s expressive abil
ity was shown clearly in the first
number of the program, the Alle-;
gro Risoluto from Schutt’s Suite
for Violin and Piano. Edna Whit- j
mer accompanied her.
Miss Kanzler played the Hess
arrangement of the Bach chorale,
“Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring,”
with finesse, ease, and indepen
dence of fingers. Her other two
numbers of this group were the
Caia-Bartok “Primo Terns” and
“Contra Dance,” by Beethoven.
The Dvorak-Kreisler “Slavonic j
Dance No. 2,” played by Miss
Sweeney, was written in part for
two strings. Clever overtone work
was shown in Rimsky-Korsakov’s
“Hymn to the Sun,” which fol
lowed. The group was concluded
with the Corelli-Kreisler “Sara
bande and Allegretto,” which
worked up to a fast climax.
Miss Kanzler next played Cho
pin’s “Nocturne in E-major,” and
“Polonaise in E-flat minor. Miss
Sweeney’s concluding number was
the first movement from Wieniow
ski’s Concerto in D-minor.
Miss Kanzler’s final group con
sisted of a quiet and extremely
melodic “Cradle Song” by Brahms
and arranged by Grainger, and
Brahm’s “Rhapsody in G-minor.”

Palmer Speaks
To YMCA Group
On New Religion
Meeting Is Last of Series
Of Study Gatherings
This Term
That religion for the new age
will not be wholly different from
the religion of the past, but will
deepen and enrich the values of
that religion, was the the theme
of the talk on “Religion for the
New Civilization,” given by Rev.
Clay E. Palmer last night in the
Y. M. C. A. hut.
“We are much farther ahead in
the material world than in the spir
itual world,” he said. “We haven’t
the moral and spiritual vision to
handle the material world that we
have in our hands.”
Rev. Palmer listed a number of
religious values that should be
emphasized in the new religion
He did not mean that these quali
ties were not present in the relig
ion of the past, but that they

Anything can happen in Chi

An old man was staggering

on his way to church crossed
the street to help him. The el

from his pocket in approved
Chicago fashion and started fir

Brought to trial, the “gentle

reformers had too damn much
