66Among the prominent teachers of vocal music in Florence we note with pleasure that Signora Alice Neyman-Galletti, a former resident of Chicago, occupies an enviable position. At the last Prova di Studio, given by her pupils, the excellence of her method of teaching was made evident. Herself, one of the best pupils of the celebrated Madame Marchesi, Signora Galletti is most successful with her Scuola di Canto. It is rumored that a couple of her most promising American pupils will make their début as concert singers this winter.
68It is not an easy matter for an American to become established as a teacher in Italy, and Chicago should be justly proud of one who has succeeded so admirably
70An orchestral concert will be given Wednesday, February 6, at 8 p. m., in Handel Hall, by the Drake Violin Club.
72The presentation of "Iolanthe" by the boy choir of the Church of the Ascension was a success, aside from the necessitated absence for a short time of the Lord Chancellor, which character was personated by George T. Baker, and the lights going out for a time. The boys were assisted by fifty young men and women, and the affair surpassed any of their previous entertainments.
74And now from across the seas comes the news of still another discovery. A Svengali in real life is undertaking to teach a girl by means of hypnotic influence to become an expert violinist, as the far famed Trilby was taught to sing. The girl is devoid of natural ability, and had practically given up the idea of ever being a violinist when the hypnotist took her in hand. She had taken lessons for months, and was unable to make the violin do more than play in the most crude way. Her parents fell back on the hypnotist as a last resort; and he consented to the experiment. When he put the girl under "influence" her fingers became supple, her touch was accurate, and she handled the bow surprisingly well. Unlike Trilby, she showed the same skill when she passed from under the influence of the hypnotic spell.
76These hypnotic musicians may do for commercial purposes, but for real genuine enjoyment give me musical cultivation and the artist's ability to interpret from the heart beautiful tone pictures.
78In the month of March Chicago will have John Philip Sousa and his band at the Auditorium for three concerts.
80In University Hall, Fine Arts Building, the evening of January 24 and Saturday afternoon of January 26, the Chicago tenor, George Hamlin, and Sidney Biden, baritone, will give song recitals.
82Josef Hofmann, who comes from Europe in March, will be added to the now large list of pianists touring in America. Mr. Hofmann will be heard in fifteen concerts.
84Eduard Strauss and his Viennese orchestra will give two concerts at Central Music Hall instead of one as first arranged. The first, which is to be a request program, occurs January 28, and the second concert January 29.
86Mark Twain's daughter, Miss Clara Clemens, is said to have a voice of unusual beauty. Miss Clemens has been diligently studying during the years she and her parents have spent in Vienna and London. She intends to be a professional singer, and her début in America is expected in the near future.
88The next concert by the Spiering Quartet, the last of the present series, will not take place on January 29, but instead will be given on Thursday evening, February 21. As originally announced, Miss Mary Wood Chase will be the assisting artist.
90Shirley Gandell gives a song recital in Handel Hall January 23.
92The past week at the Studebaker, Fine Arts Building, Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" has been given by the Castle Square Opera Company with as good success and far more crowded houses than the preceding English Metropolitan Grand Opera Company. Previous presentations of this opera here by the company met favor with the public, and this assured them a welcome for the recent production. Miss Gertrude Rennyson alternated with Miss Josephine Ludwig as Juliet, and Barron Berthald and Miro Delamotta as Romeo. one of two readings
94For the week of January 21 Planquette's "Chimes of Normandy" is announced. one of two readings
96Mr. and Mrs. Paul Picard, 137 Lincoln Park boulevard, gave a musicale the evening of January 18. The program was given by M. Amato, M. Dumoulin and M. de Vries, of the Chicago Orchestra, Charles Gautier and Dr. Pierce singing. Hobart C. Chatfield-Taylor also read from "L'Aiglon." The numbers were exceptionally fine. one of two readings
98A good example of loyalty and appreciation of good work accomplished is that of the American pianist who played at the Paris Exposition last summer, Mrs. Arthur Middleton Barnhart, formerly Miss Stella La Zelle, who had obtained not a little celebrity by her playing here as well as abroad. Mrs. Barnhart still continues her lessons with the only master she has ever had, William H. Sherwood. one of two readings
100Writing of this sincere musician: "When Mr. Sherwood lived in Boston some sixteen or eighteen years ago he had a series of amusing experiences with some critical comments on his performances. Since that time the critics on the papers mentioned have been changed. One Boston daily, apropos of a recital given by Mr. Sherwood, said 'that after playing several numbers by great composers with much expression, artistic temperament and technical brilliancy, he sang a Chopin Ballade, delighting his audience anew with a sympathetic voice, artistic shading and good vocal method.'
