DePauw Concert Club (An Excerpt)
To properly summarize the concert requires a few lines concerning the entertainers. Of Miss Aldah Victoria McCoy but few new remarks can be made. Her frequent and charming appearances before DePauw audiences have won her a reputation for artistic work on the piano. Her tone shades, grace and ease of interpretation, and the feeling she infuses into her difficult compositions are highly pleasing.
