34A De Serrano Pupil.
36MISS ROSEMARIE CAMPBELL, the contralto, who is a pupil of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. de Serrano, has had a very busy and successful season. Recently she sang at a concert given by the Orpheus Club, of Paterson, N. J., and made an instantaneous hit. A difficult operatic program was given and Miss Campbell carried off more than a share of the honors.
38During the past few months she has also sung in St. Louis, Providence, Binghamton, Newark and Pittsfield.
40Appended are the criticisms from some of these cities: Miss Campbell's voice is a rich contralto, and her experience in church and solo work has given her a decided advantage, proving in this and many other instances the value of church work in wider fields. Her rendition of the Gypsy Queen was most gratifying. Her voice was heard to good advantage and her dramatic ability being well portrayed in the part.—St. Louis Republican.
42Miss Rosemarie Campbell sang the part of Azucena, and its tragic intensity was well portrayed. Miss Campbell has a voice that has certainly delighted all who have heard it in other operas, but her work in this is so important and so engrossing that it is not saying too much to say that her splendid acting, as well as her fine singing, won, as it deserved last night, a favor that showed her second to none with the audience.—Providence News.
44Miss Rosemarie Campbell, a contralto of wide range and culture, of New York city, was first heard in Sullivan's "Lost Chord," which she sang with much feeling. She was heard again in "Es Blinkt der Thau," by Rubinstein; in the former she displayed excellent judgment in her vocal methods, and in the latter succeeded in winning her hearers with the poetic nicety of her interpretation.—New York Sunday Call.
46Miss Rosemarie Campbell, who took the part of Siebel, has a contralto voice of unusual sweetness, great range and power, showing careful cultivation. Her singing in this part won the hearts of her listeners.—Binghamton Republican.
48E. Presson Miller Summer Term.
50OWING to the number of applications from teachers in the South and West, E. Presson Miller has been obliged to postpone his trip to Europe, and will teach during June and July at his studio, 601 and 602 Carnegie Hall. At the end of that time he will take a much needed vacation, resuming his class about October 1.
52HEMUS IN SCRANTON.—The baritone of St. Patrick's R. C. Cathedral was soloist last week at the Studio Club concert, when the Tribune of that city said this: "Percy Hemus' Scranton début had been looked forward to with no little interest by reason of what had been heard of his work in the New York cathedral choir and in concert elsewhere. He is the possessor of a rich, full, well-trained voice and of a most unusual power of vocal dramatic expression."
54MADAME LANKOW.—The Cleveland German Herald, of May 24, has a column article on Madame Lankow's method. She will probably visit Europe this summer some time, and will return here in time to take up her active work this fall.
56A SUMMER COURSE.—Besides a successful concert season Miss Amy Ray has had an unusually busy year teaching. At the request of some of her pupils she has decided to give a special summer course to those desiring it.
