10SHERWOOD MUSIC SCHOOL RECITAL.
12An excellent program was presented by the Sherwood Music School in the Lecture Hall, Fine Arts Building, on Friday morning, January 24. The performers displayed not only much natural ability; it was apparent that they possessed also a thorough understanding of the works interpreted.
14The teachers represented by pupils were William H. Sherwood, director of the school; Leon Marx, violinist; William H. Neidlinger and Shirley Gandell, while special mention must be made of the admirable recitations by Amanda McDonald and Jane Perry, pupils of Mary Dennis Manning, of the dramatic department. Mrs. George Kober Barnum was the capable accompanist, and the other students who appeared were Mary Morgan, pianist; Albert Georges, pianist; Bertina Armstrong, pianist; Clarence Riege, pianist; Ida Linn, vocalist; Edna Paine, pianist; Sadie Boyle, violinist; Mrs. David W. Bergey, vocalist; Bertha Stevens, pianist; Master Francis Moore, pianist; Mathilde Henchling, vocalist, and Miss Burnham, pianist. The audience was exceptionally large and enthusiastic. That the program was representative is illustrated by the fact that it included compositions by Chopin, Gounod, Grieg, d'Albert, Liebling, Moszkowski, De Beriot, Dudley Buck, Mozart, Brahms and Maude Valerie White.
16George Proctor, pianist, of Boston, has been paying Chicago a visit. Last week he contributed the program at Mrs. Hugh T. Birch's musicale.
18Miss Hester Lynch, one of Maurice Aronson's pupils, has been appointed director of the piano department at Lenox College, Hopkinton, Ia.

24On the afternoon of January 22 Kubelik, the violinist, delighted fashionable Chicago with his playing at Mrs. J. Ogden Armour's reception.
26If a prize were awarded to the artist who has worn the most magnificent gown in Chicago this year, Sembrich's decorated white "creation," Nordica's "vision" in pale pink, or Lilli Lehmann's luxurious rose colored velvet—one of these surely would win. But this is a matter for the society columns to decide.
28Dr. F. Ziegfeld has gone to Europe, where he will divide his time between resting and looking after the interests of the Chicago Musical College, of which he is president.

38Arthur Whiting's interpretation of Brahms' "Walzer," "Ballade," "Rhapsody" and other compositions has been favorably commented upon in Chicago. As a solo pianist he was more successful when he appeared before the Amateur Club than at George Hamlin's Sunday concert of the preceding day, January 12. William H. Sherwood was so satisfactorily impressed with Mr. Whiting's "Suite Moderne," op. 15, that he has decided to include important portions thereof in his repertory.
40Miss Mary Wood Chase will play at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York, on the evening of February 1.
42"Lohengrin" will be presented by the Castle Square Opera Company at the Studebaker Hall, Fine Arts Building, next week.
44At Steinway Hall pupils of Signor Marescalchi will be heard in a recital on the evening of January 27.
46An attractive program will be presented at the Chicago Auditorium Conservatory on Saturday afternoon, January 25, by talented pupils, including Florence Cook, who is studying with George G. Lewis. Miss Cook will play Liszt's "Hungarian Fantaisie."
48At the Handel Musical Society's concert in the University Congregational Church on Tuesday evening, January 14, Mary Wood Chase's artistic and brilliant interpretations were a notable feature. The gifted pianist was heard in an interesting Chopin group, consisting of four Preludes, op. 28; Impromptu, op. 36, and Ballade, op. 23. Later she contributed "Masquerade and Unmasking" and "The Juggleress," Moszkowski. In response to an encore she gave Sinding's "Song Without Words."
50The event was under the capable direction of Charles A. Knorr, who sang several solos. Joseph Gillespie played the opening organ number, "Morceau Symphonique," Guilmant.
52The Daily Journal of Freeport, Ill., made the following comment upon the recital recently given by Theodore Spiering and Maurice Aronson, under the auspices of the Freeport Piano Students' Club:
54Mr. Spiering is certainly a master of the violin, and as the sweet strains of music filled the hall one was led to believe that the violin is the only instrument that can make music, but this opinion had to be revised as soon as Mr. Aronson's deft fingers touched the keys of the piano. One may pour out one's soul in violin music, but the act can be repeated on the piano under a master hand, and each artist proved a master of his instrument last evening.
56"Miss Mabelle Crawford, of Chicago, rendered the contralto solos in a manner which won the hearts of her hearers," says a recent issue of the St. Paul (Minn.) Journal. "Her work was finished and delightful from the beginning, and in the aria 'He Shall Feed His Flock' reached the height of expression, which had not been anticipated. A more exquisite and tender rendition of this number has seldom been heard."
58The following is from the Knox College Journal, Galesburg, Ill.: "Miss Crawford's first solo in the oratorio put her audience at once in sympathy with her. That her later work was marked by emotional power was evident in the hush prevailing. A rich voice, under perfect control, an exquisite power of pathos and forgetfulness of self in her high calling—these qualities made Miss Crawford's work most satisfactory. She is being warmly praised."
60Among the many enthusiastic estimates which Mary Wood Chase's playing has recently inspired are the following:
62The Woman's Music Club enjoyed a rare treat yesterday afternoon in hearing Miss Mary Wood Chase, a distinguished concert pianist of Chicago. Miss Chase had the serious disadvantage of being heard on a freezing afternoon by a frozen audience in a very cold hall and on a cold piano, and yet there were vigor and mental strength enough in her to hold her hearers entranced and win hearty approval and applause. In the course of her performance she gave convincing proofs of the finished musician and scholarly artist. Her technic is superb and her tone is of remarkable power and unusual quality.
64The program was thoroughly artistic and of classical character. In Schumann's "Carnaval," a set of twenty-one miniatures, she demonstrated great imagination and intelligence. In the Chopin group she showed herself to be in deepest sympathy with the composer. Miss Chase's program contained several modern works calculated to illustrate the highest development of piano playing in the direction of beauty and sentiment. Her descriptive talks added much to the enjoyment of her music.—Bowling Green Democrat, Bowling Green, Ky.
66Miss Mary Wood Chase, of Chicago, received a pleasant welcome Tuesday evening at Hamilton College, and her recital was a treat of beautiful and artistic music, seldom heard in Lexington. She came for the benefit and as the guest of the music class of Hamilton College, who kindly gave outside friends the privilege of hearing her, and the chapel was well filled with an audience delighted with the music and very responsive to the beauty of it all.
68Miss Chase is very attractive personally, and studied for several years in Berlin, being there at the same time Miss McGarvey was studying in that city.
70Besides the recital, Miss Chase gave a talk on the subject of the composer, Schumann, which was very instructive and entertaining. In her piano playing Miss Chase has a wonderful power of interpretation, fine technic and skillful touch. Her selections were wisely made and the hearers quite uplifted with the artistic performance.
72After the program was finished all present were invited into the parlors of the college, where a social reception was held in honor of the distinguished musician.—Lexington Leader, December 18.
74Miss Chase is teaching a large and flourishing class of pupils at her spacious studio in the Fine Arts Building.
76MRS. REGINA WATSON'S SONGS.
78Mrs. Regina Watson's songs are winning high praise. Among those which are being heard in public this season may be mentioned "Retrospection," "La Lune Blanche," "Cupid's Blunder" and "Explanation." Two of Mrs. Watson's songs will be sung by George Hamlin at his recitals this season.
80Soloists at the third of the third series of Summy ballad concerts at the Music Hall, Fine Arts Building, on the afternoon of January 23, were well-known musicians, including Bertha M. Kaderly, soprano; Maude Fenlon Bollman, soprano; William A. Willett, baritone, and Walter Spry, pianist. Nellie Skelton DePue played the accompaniments.
82Composers represented in the long program were Clara K. Rogers, Clara S. Sturtevant, Rose M. Eversole, Liszt,
