39Pietro Mascagni led the Symphony Orchestra for two concerts the afternoons of February 2 and 3. The program was very attractive, and Mascagni was well received by Kansas Cityans. Under his energetic leadership the orchestra developed characteristics of spirit and style that have heretofore lain dormant.
41The Euterpe Club gave a recital February 4 under the direction of F. V. Steele, Miss Pell and Lawrence Robbins.
43At a recent musicale given in the home of the American Minister at Leipsic, Germany, seven of the nine numbers on the program were composed by George E. Simpson, of Kansas City. The seven numbers consisted of five songs, a serenade for violin and piano, and a romanza for violincello and piano. The concert was called a "Simpson Evening." Mr. Simpson now is in Berlin, but will return to Leipsic in March to conduct a symphony which he has just completed.
45An invitational recital was given by the younger pupils of Miss Myrtle Randolph in the Athenaeum rooms, the Pepper Building, Wednesday evening, February 4. Miss Randolph had the assistance of Miss Daisy Dowden and Mrs. Anna M. Reaser.

49The Megaphone Minstrels, an organization of 250 fun loving musicians of Kansas City, gave their fifth minstrel show in Convention Hall the evening of February 11. Fifteen thousand people witnessed the performance. Liberatti, the cornetist, was one of the attractions.
51Miss Carrie Rosenheim.
53A singer, teacher of singing and music critic, Baltimore has for some years regarded Miss Carrie Rosenheim as an authority, and so conspicuous has been her success recently that her growing reputation is no longer confined to her home city but is making a name for her in the musical world generally. This is a matter of no surprise to those who know Miss Rosenheim, for hers is the temperament to succeed in anything she undertakes, for her strongest traits are an indomitable will and intellectual energy. She herself, with a gratitude rare in successful pupils, attributes her great success as a singing teacher to her association as pupil and assistant with Dr. E. S. Kimball, whose method she teaches, and to which she ascribes her remarkable ability in placing voices and making artistic singers of her own pupils.
55She has a unique record for so young a teacher, in that some of the leading church positions in Baltimore are filled by her pupils. It is owing to her large class that Miss Rosenheim has to neglect her own singing, a fact much to be regretted, as she is a most artistic interpreter and splendid musician. She is a good organist and an unusually sympathetic and artistic accompanist. Her general musical education has been a very sound one and so many sided that she could have been a success in any direction. She has great natural gifts as a teacher and a rare ability to communicate to her pupils her own fine method of singing.
57Her literary ability is also very marked and has been sought by the leading papers of Baltimore. To THE MUSICAL COURIER readers she is not unknown, for the well written and newsy articles from Baltimore signed by Euterpe are from her clever pen.
59Altogether Miss Rosenheim is a fine example of the clever, artistic American girl, a home product, having received her entire education in Baltimore. Among her pupils may be mentioned Mrs. Amos Harryman, leading soprano of the Baltimore Cathedral; Mrs. Charles M. Eyster, leading soprano at the First Presbyterian Church; Miss Elinor Lofgren, first contralto at the latter church; Miss Clara Paine Gault, first soprano at Babcock's Memorial; Miss Louise Randolph, of Emanuel Episcopal Church choir; Miss Doris Goodwin, now abroad; Misses Beatrice Peters, B. Bamberger, Sarah Bender, Henrietta Baker, Alice S. Davis, Juanita Greif, Eva Galt, Sallie Hall, Martha Stern, Emma C. Knott, Aline Lindsay, Ada Rosenfeld, Ada Schaefer, Mrs. Robert Skutch, Mrs. Charles Warner and R. Meyerhoff.
61Miss Rosenheim is herself a member of the Madison Avenue Synagogue choir, of Baltimore.
63Kathryn Fiske of St. George's.
65THE solo contralto of St. George's P. E. Church, a pupil of Edward B. Kinney, Jr., organist and choirmaster of the same, is giving much pleasure by her fine singing. She sang at the Waldorf-Astoria not long since at the Open Air Fund benefit; on February 16 at a concert in Astoria, L. I.; February 18 at St. George's Men's Club, and March 5 will sing at an organ recital in Staten Island. The young contralto is rapidly forging ahead.

70OL. MARCOSSON, violinist, and Miss Dorothy Frew, pianist, appeared in recital at the University Auditorium January 22, under the auspices of the Matinee Musical Club.
