Miss Macpherson of the staff of the Ham- ilton Conservatory of Music, is a Canadian by birth though reared and educated in the United States where she is well known as a concert pian- ist and recitalist. As a young student in Paris she won high honors at the Conservatoire and later studied un- der Joseffy in New York. Miss Macpherson's ease of manner, thor- ough knowledge of her ubject aided by a fine linguistic ability, held her listeners easily throughout the even- ing, In Italy, the land of sunshine and song, opera rose out of the mys- tery play, Previous to this, music had been allied to dramatic perform- ance by the Italians, who always in touch with Greece and Egypt, had tried to revive the Greek play mn which the early actors spoke to mu- sic. In 1607 the first opera as we know was given, Monteverde being the first genius to give him atten- tion entirely to this form of music. At this period the recitative appear- ed in dramatic music, and from it the Aria was evolved. i From Italy this musical art was carried to France and thence "to county jail was the sentence im- posed upon Walter Douglass in po | lice court this morning by Fagis- ' trate A, F. Hind. Douglass was convicted of being in an intoxicat- ed condition, and since this was his second oence under the Liquor Control Act, this was the mini- mum sentence which the magis- trate could impose. Douglass has only been a res: ident of this country for five months, and the magistrate warn- ed him that, if he could not pay the fine he would no doubt be de- ported by the sheriff on the expir- ation of his sentence, under that section of the immigration act which says that any immigrant, who has only resided in Canada within a certain period and be- come an inmate of a jail or a charge on the State in any other way, may he deported as an un- desirable immigrant. Douglass had only been about two months in Canada when he was convicted on a B.L.C.A, charge last Novem- ber, He was arrested that night, with a gash on the side of his head which he said he had received from a fall, and spent part of the night in the hospital, J WILL SPEAK IN BAPTIST CHURGH Rev, F.

From this pera Miss Macpherson played the heme and afterwards the fine piano transcription, After Gluck, Mozart { was attracted to operatic style and of this period are the operas, "Mar- riage of Figaro," "Beggar's Opera" and "Tales of Hoffman," The next transitional period came in the he- ginning of the 19th century, when instead of the Greek and classic story folk-songs and nature entered into opera, This led up to the great tran- sition that came in the middle of the century with the great exponents of opera, Wagner and Verdi, The "Fly- ing Dutchman" gave the first glim- mer of Wagner's style. To bring the music, action and speech into unity he employed "leading motives" or themes. This theme innovation was well demonstrated on the piano hy Miss Macpherson from the operas "Valkyrie," "Parsifal" and "Tristan vand Isolde." the "Love Death," was beautifull played also.

C.G LT GIRLS RECALL DAYS OF SUMMER CAMP | Round a nice big campfire in the | basements of King street United Sunday School about eighty Cana- dian Girls in Tramming gathered last night, some of them to renew memories of happy hours spent at teir camp at Presqu' Ile Point last summer and others to be in- troduced to the activities of camp for the first time The camp was held through the kindness of Rev. and Mrs. C. W. DeMille at their summer home Calf Pasture Point. Seated in a circle in the glow of the firelight the atmospbere was truly one of worship and as the story of Rachel's Visit to the Car- penter Shop was read by Mrs. De Mille, old campers found their | *loughts drifting backward to {those morning hours on th: shore oi the Bay when the study was about this Carpenter--Jesus. Songs which became treasures at Camp were used during the sirg- song and the official Camp Paper was re-read which together, with the pshots brought back the true p spirit, An account of the activities of camp was given and the four tribes put on stunts no less original than the ones performed on the shore of Presqu'lle. The camp idea was continued in the type of refr served. and the singing of what came to be the camp's favorite hyma "I would be true" and the campfire oélisande" is music is descriptive of ihe sceie. The beautiful "Love Duet" from this opera was delightfully play- ed b, Miss Macpherson, Other examples of the style of the modern opera played by Miss Mac- pherson were the entrance scene in "Madam Butterfly," Paccini, and "The Prologue" from "Pagliacci" by Lconcavallo. The stories of the operas of which selections were played by her, were told by Miss i in a very effective manner, and gave added in- terest to each number. As a pianist Miss Macpherson is very satisfying. Her touch is fluent and brilliant, dis- playing imagination and a true sensc of tone value. Her lovely playing spoke for itself and as an interpreter and lecturer she enhanced the music she played by the graces of intelli- gence and personality, 20 TABLES AT EUCHRE OF PYTHIAN SISTERS There were twenty tables at the euchre held by the Pythian Sisters last evening fp the K. of P. hall and all the games were well con- tested. Mrs. K. Glover won the first prize, Mrs. L. Healy carried off the second prize, and Mrs. S. Russell won the third prize.
