"They play," the Chicago Daily News has said, "with the skill of one and the im- agination of tw'o." Two of Englaid's most successful .pianists are Etbel Bartlett and Rae Robertson, who after winning enviable succesa ini- dividually, are now achieving tri- umphs together. P"olau.d A Gnimi IThe playing of Nathan Milstein, the sensational young Russian vio- linist, -has impelled such music cri- tics, as Glen Dillard Gutin and, Eu- gene Stdnson to proclaini ;him a genitus. The former bas declared of his musicianship, "Thé result, is- un- canny. He seemns to, be performing magic. Genius is the word which he obliges the critic to use, however re- lutantly." The latter remarked after hearing him twice, "It is qenius." Milstein will b e the third artist pre- duration.

The first of the, two week sessions, especially planned for. this purpose, proved popular and a number of the students have re-enrolled for the longer session. The faculty for the sumrner includes many niembers of the regular. staff, and meeting.
