Mr. Burke voted In favor of supporting the recommendation to return the note while Mr. Burkhaltcr opposed SS u s LOCAL lilff AT III RECITAL Fully four hundred of the muslo loving people of Grants Pass and vi cinity crowded the Gaiety thvator last eveulng to listen to the piano recital given by Miss Berenice Quin tan of this city, while over a hundred people were turned away from the door, unable to secure admittance. The recital was a marked artistic triumph for Mies Qulnlan, as was at tested by the vigorous applause which greeted her rendition of each number on her excellently diversified program. From the dignified, chaste beauty ot the Moonlight Sonata by Bee thoven to the Impetuous lilting whirl of Henselta "If I Were a Bird," and the Kbelnhold "Impromptu" Opus 28. No. S, Miss Qulnlan showed a rare talent of Interpretation. The Chopin numbers seemed to furnish a particular delight to the audience, and Mist Qulnlan put Into each study the very essence of the great master's exquisite melancholy and homeless passion. The Etude Opus 25 No. 1 waa played with great riollcacr and charm of fancy, the Nocturne Opua No, 15 No. 2 with lln gerlng tenderness and pathos, wbtle the Ballade, Opua 47. with a perfect passion of glorious chords and stormy arpeggios. It Is aa perfect and beau tlfully rounded a piano number as the "Erl King" la a song, and It was given with splendid understanding and appeal It drew a prolonged wave of applause from Miss Qulnlan's admirers and waa easily the master- piece of her recital. The Valse Impromptu Opus 13 by composer. This vaist anouniu m brilliant passages of dashing techni que and Is aa beautiful In Its melody aa many of the most loved waltt movomenta from Chopin. In fact the element of mystery combined with a resigned gaiety which characterizes so mauy of Chopin's waltz movemvuts la decidedly conspicuous In this Lach mund number. The composition re flects much credit on Mr. Iachmund aa Its lovely melody Is cast In a bril liant and appealing setting. Miss Qulnlan'a personality Is girl ish, unaffected and entirely tree from mannerism of any sort or description, which added a marked pleasuro to her recital. Miss Genevieve Pattlllo. whose voice Is always a delight to her hear era assisted Miss Qulnlan. Her num bers wore all marked by the "tears" with which she always thrills her audience. Her voice, of wide con tralto range, waa heard In especially fine form last evening In "Mellsande In the Wood," a composition of great merit and rare weird beauty. She gave the pathos and regret of the fine poem a most vivid Interpretation Her "Three Roses Red" was sung so simply, and ao sadly that there was a lump In the throat of almost every person In the bouse. Her voice never falls to bring a response of profound feeling. Miss Palmer played her usually fine and sympathetic accom panlment. Althogether the program was sue! a treat as the people ot Grants Pass will long have occasion to remember and a universal expression of gratl tude la universally voiced these young Lachmund Is deserving of special I people for the opportunity we have mention as It la the work ot Was; bad to hear really fine music sym Qulnlan'a teacher and an American 1 ixvt helically Interpreted.
