6CHICAGO, August 24, 1903.
8J ERY elaborate preparations have been made for the fall and winter season of the leading Chicago schools of music. It is noticeable that the several faculties are stronger than ever, and the number of names distinguished in studio and concert room was never so large. Another evidence of growth and prosperity, no less than of a keen appreciation of the fitness of things, is to be seen in the character of the catalogues just put forth by the foremost schools. They are, in most cases, artistic specimens of musical literature no less than of the printers' and binders' art. They attract refined people and suggest the degree of culture essential to the ambitions and elevating work for the introduction of which the catalogues are designed. Within a week all of the following schools have issued their new and artistic catalogues.
10Chicago Musical College.
12This catalogue is a handsome booklet of 112 pages, printed on heavy enameled paper, the cover of tan linen, with the title neatly stamped at the top in gold leaf. We quote the following "Introduction," which is a brief and modest statement of facts:
14"The Chicago Musical College was established in 1867 and has steadily maintained the highest standard of endeavor in its special educational field. The course of study has been perfected from year to year, the faculty greatly strengthened, and today the curriculum insures the best results from the beginning to the full development of artistic requirement.
16"The college issues teachers' certificates and diplomas and confers the degrees of 'bachelor of music,' 'master of music' and 'doctor of music' by authority of the State of Illinois.
18"We trust that those contemplating the study of music, elocution or dramatic art will give this catalogue a careful reading. Investigation will readily demonstrate the superiority of this institution."
20In the list of the faculty are found the names of artists who have made far more than a local fame. Among them might be mentioned Rudolph Ganz, Hans von Schiller, Walter R. Knupfer, Maurice Rosenfeld, Karl Reckzeh, Glenn Dillard Gunn and Adolf Brune in the piano department; Bernhard Listemann, Theodore Spiering, Joseph T. Ohlheiser, Felix Borowski, William Konrad, Otto Roehrborn, William Diestel and Walter Schulze in the violin department; William Castle, Herman Devries, Mrs. O. L. Fox, Mary Forrest-Ganz, John R. Ortengren, Kirk Towns and Mabel F. Shorey in the vocal department; Dr. Louis Falk, organ; Bruno Steindel, Herman Diestel, violoncello; William Diestel, viola; Dr. Louis Falk, Louis Campbell-Tipton and Adolf Brune, harmony; Felix Borowski, composition; Harold B. Maryott, public school music; Mr. and Mrs. Hart Conway, school of acting; besides several eminent teachers of orchestral instruments, and a number of younger artists of prominence.
22The important additions to the faculty are Emile Sauret, the violinist, who ranks among the first virtuosi and teachers of the present time; Arthur Speed, an eminent pianist, who comes from Berlin; J. Homer Grunn, pianist, and Mrs. Letitia V. Kempster, instructor of elocution and physical culture. Among the younger members of the faculty who should be mentioned are John B. Miller, the tenor; Anna Grieswisch, soprano; Beatrix Mizer, soprano; Walter Schulze, violinist, and Walter Kilbourne, the actor and stage manager; Walfried Singer, harpist; Bessie E. Ayres, teacher of musical theory, and the following pianists: Elizabeth G. Saviers, Lillian M. Reid, Florence Wells-Metz, Alma W. Anderson, Maud Jones, Emma M. Schenk, M. Eleanor Turner Rupp, Gena Branscomb, Maybelle Lewis, Jane Gunderson, Bernya Bracken Gunn, Grace Pagels Fletcher and Pauline Houch.
24Sherwood Music School.
26By far the handsomest booklet ever issued by this well known institution has just appeared. It is an artistic pamphlet of sixty-two pages and is printed with photo-brown ink. The half tone portraits are especially good and the letterpress gives a graceful account of the school as now organized and guided under the business management of Louis Evans. The opening statement begins as follows:
28"The growth of the Sherwood Music School since its organization in 1897 has been remarkable. Its accommodations have been enlarged with succeeding years, until at the present season it occupies spacious and beautiful quarters in the Fine Arts Building, which is doubtless the finest edifice in the world given up solely to music and the arts. The situation on Michigan avenue, close to the corner of Van Buren street, commands a fine view of Lake Michigan, and is very convenient to leading street car lines, elevated roads and Illinois Central suburban trains. The school suite is so arranged as to be available for smaller recitals; there are also four halls of varying dimensions in the building in which the larger school concerts are held.
30"The Sherwood Music School, by reason of its moderate size, can look after the individual interests of its pupils better than conservatories of more unwieldy proportions. At the same time it is completely equipped and offers the
