A Btilliaut-Recital

A Moorehead, • Minnesota paper,Of a
•
recent date has the follovving reference
to a well.knewn Clintonion ; youngest
daughter of Mr Fred Iturnball:-
Before a brilliant audience that filled
every available seat in the spacious
auditorium, Ratnball and Miss
Hazelton gave the annual Normal re.
citalen Thursday evening. They were
assisted byMissMarie Paige, violinist,.
and Niss--.A.'srang-Olswraidenntranist;
both of Fargo.
The annual recitals generally under-
stood to be expressive of the higher ar-
tistic life of the educational institution
and in this sense. the work of Miss
Rumball and Miss Hazelton can easily
he said, to have set a new mark, for
upon every hand the recital of Thurs-
day evening is conceded to have been
an artistic triumph. •
Both Miss littmball and Miss Hazel"'
ton were, at the conclusion of their re-
spective nunitters, called before the
footlights and presented with tokens
of appreciaaon in the form of Magnifl-
cOut, boquets of roses and carnations.
Gerhart lia,upturan,one of the great-
est German dramatists, whose workIn
its social tendencies is in close touch
with that of Leo Tolstoi and Henrik
Ibson; departs somewhat from his us-
ual style of subject matter in his sym•
bolic drama of "The'Smilien Bell." It
has been called the • "fairy drama."
That being the atmosphere, it was fit-
ting that Miss Herniet Rumball should
select it for presentetion,since she her-
self suggests daintiness and quaintness
It was rendered in an artistic, picture-
esque and interesting rummer. The
poetic trend was well sustained. Per-
hapethe finest piece of work was reach-
ed in the climax, when Heinrieh sees
the phantoms of his children, hears the
siound of the bell,. and exclaims "The'
Sun-belfs and ringing."
Miss Rumball's work Wile (Ammeter'.
ized throughont by a line perception
oe th3 subtlettee of Haupt man's
masterpiece, and her sustained power
would have been a severe taxeyen upon
one of greater physical strength. There
has never been any qftestion at to Miss
Ruraball's art, but "The Sunken Bell"
gave opportunity for the display of
her Versatility, inaltrauch as it is called
for 9, powerful portrayal Of the Moat
varied and moat intense emotions of
which the human soul capable. That
she echoed the soul -throb of Haupt -
man's characters is uncinestianahle,
and therein lives the evidertee of her
art,
