1MUSIC IN BROOKLYN.
3A LEAN WEEK.
5MUSICALLY, it was a lean week in the borough. There was only one concert of importance, and that was given by the Brooklyn Institute in Association Hall last Thursday evening. Miss Olive Mead played the violin, David Bispham sang and Edward Reuss, an excellent pianist, played the accompaniment. After her solo playing at the Boston Symphony matinee Miss Mead's gifts were reviewed in THE MUSICAL COURIER, and what was previously said can but be repeated here. She is a charming artist, this slender young woman. At the concert last Thursday night Miss Mead played romances by Wieniawski and Fauré, "The Bee," by Schubert; "La Captive," by Mrs. Beach, a Spanish waltz by Centola, a mazourka by Zorzycki and Brahms' Hungarian dance, arranged by Joachim. Mr. Bispham sang familiar songs from his repertory.

52Florizel, the gifted boy violinist, will make his first appearance in Brooklyn Friday evening, February 14. The recital will be given at the Academy of Music. Miss Lucy Gates, a soprano from Utah, and Adolf Glose, pianist, will assist in the program.
54The second in the series of midwinter concerts by the Institute will be given at Association Hall Thursday evening, February 6. The artists announced for this concert are Mrs. Caroline Mihr Hardy, soprano; Miss Alice Sovereign, contralto; Paul Dufault, tenor; Herbert Witherspoon, baritone; assisted by Perlee V. Jervis, piano.
56Many students of music will be interested in the long list of works on "Richard Wagner and His Music Dramas" which the Pratt Institute has added to its circulating library. This is a free library, and it seems needless to state that residents of the Hill section and their children find it a source of great educational advantage.
58CARL IN THE SOUTH.

74DUSS INDORSES THE MUSICAL COURIER.
76Pittsburg, Pa., January 25, 1902.
77R. E. Johnston, St. James Building, New York City:
78Dear Mr. Johnston—The Musical Courier of January 22, with my picture framed in gold as its frontispiece, has just been handed to me, and I am so struck with the tone and elegance of this advertisement that I feel compelled to convey my appreciation and pleasure concerning the same to you at once.
79The Musical Courier has certainly done itself proud—it is the finest piece of work of its kind that I have ever seen, and proves to my mind that The Musical Courier, in addition to its reputation as the first musical paper in the country, is also in its methods of advertising a worthy rival of any paper or magazine in the United States.
80This advertisement cannot fail to have a forcible effect upon the minds of the first musical people in the land.
81Kindly convey to The Musical Courier my warmest thanks and congratulations.
82Very truly yours,
83J. S. DUSS.
85THEODORE VAN YORX.—Theodore Van Yorx sang with great success in Cleveland a fortnight ago. Following are extracts from the newspaper criticisms:
86The soloist of the evening was Theodore Van Yorx, a young tenor from the East, who made his début in Cleveland last night, and who scored a success for himself. He has a fine voice, clear, with plenty of strength to it and well placed.—Cleveland Plain Dealer, January 17, 1902.
88Theodore Van Yorx, the New York tenor, despite the fact that he was not in his best voice, being troubled with an aggravating case of laryngitis, displayed, however, a pure and flexible lyric tenor voice of considerable smoothness and sweetness. He sang an aria by Meyerbeer with artistic style, but in his first group of songs by Godard, Schubert and Liza Lehmann he revealed more dramatic conception and warmth, had proper variety of style and rose to more freedom and expression. His second group furnished his best singing in Tosti's "Ninon," wherein his declamation and singing united illuminatively.—Cleveland Leader, January 17, 1902.
90Mr. Van Yorx, in his song groups, which were both encored, displayed a pure and flexible lyric tenor voice, of considerable smoothness and sweetness. He is to be commended for singing in English. The true tenor is so hard to find that Mr. Van Yorx's artistic tendencies and expressive diction must be commended, despite an accidental drawback of his having a case of laryngitis. He sang with unexpected heartiness Reis' "With Wine on the Rhine," the atmosphere of Plymouth Church not seeming to repress the convivial sentiment of the lines; and he interpreted Tosti's highly expressive "Ninon" with vivid insight and subtle expression.—Cleveland Town Topics, January 17, 1902.
92PLUNKET GREENE WILL COME IN MARCH.—Plunket Greene will arrive here in March, about the 6th of the month, and will give a recital here before starting on his tour. The bookings for this favorite basso have been very successful, and it is expected that he will be in great demand for spring concerts. Ben Davies, the tenor, is expected to arrive in New York the end of March. His engagements will conclude with the Cincinnati Festival.
94Mrs. Stella Prince Stocker will deliver her illustrated lecture on Paderewski's opera "Manru" at 81 Fifth avenue to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon.
