A town on its own line is one of the directory's headings. That is where the town on a maker's page comes from.
1versary as a member of the Munich Theatre. It was on June 8, 1864, that Possart made his début in Munich as Franz Moor in Schiller's "Räuber," which led to his permanent engagement.
3Alfred Reisenauer is stopping in Berlin for a few days. Like Strauss and so many others who have made successful tours in America, he, too, is delighted with our country and his reception there. He expects to return two years hence for another tour, he tells me.
5Max Reiniger, of Bucharest, Roumania, is spending a fortnight here as the guest of Leopold Godowsky. Mr. Reiniger is an important man in the artistic world for the Balkan States, and in fact for all Southern Europe. Aside from being editor of the Bucharest Tageblatt and correspondent for several important foreign journals, he is an experienced and successful musical manager. He has arranged a tour of all the principal cities of the Balkan States for Godowsky for next season. He recently managed a very successful tour of eighteen cities in the Orient with the American boy violinist, Florizel.
7Eugen d'Albert is now definitely engaged for an American tour, beginning in January. He will play the Knabe piano. William Knabe has been in town for a few days.

11Mrs. Virgil at the S. M. T. A.
13MRS. A. M. VIRGIL, who is one of the busiest women in this metropolis, threw aside her usual cares and responsibilities, and taking with her one of C. Virgil Gordon's little pupils, made a trip to Gainesville, Ga. Here is located Brenau College, which is celebrated as being one of the largest and most influential colleges in the South. The spacious grounds, large halls and splendid auditorium furnished a capital place for the convention. Some seventy-five or one hundred teachers were in attendance, besides many visitors.
15Jennie Quinn, Mr. Gordon's pupil, played a highly interesting recital on Tuesday afternoon, June 14. Her numbers were greatly enjoyed and evidently greatly appreciated, as was shown by the hearty applause given by the audience. Mrs. Virgil's remarks were also heartily welcomed; many of the ideas she advanced were new, especially about the Tekniklavier, but her convincing manner and Jennie Quinn's illustrations on the Tekniklavier converted many at once to the new ideas. At the request of many Mrs. Virgil prolonged her stay to a week. President Van Hoose, of Brenau College, deserves a great deal of credit for entertaining the guests so magnificently. Through his enterprise and liberality the association will meet again next summer at Brenau College. It is anticipated that some 300 teachers will then be in attendance. The South is wide awake in musical matters.
17Little Miss Quinn's program at the recital follows: Prelude and fugue, Bach (on Tekniklavier and piano); "Vecchio Minuet," Sgambati; "Impromptu," Rheinhold; "Scotch Poem," MacDowell; "Rustle of Spring," Sinding; "Soirée de Vienne," Liszt; "Poupée Valsante," Poldini; "Rondo Capriccioso," Mendelssohn.
19Clifford Wiley in Kentucky.
21CLIFFORD WILEY, the baritone, left Monday of this week for Lexington, Ky., where he is to give a series of five concerts under the management of Dr. Wilbur L. Davidson. During the past season this popular singer filled many engagements East, West and South. His next Southern recital tour is to begin in November.

47WASHINGTON, D. C., June 25, 1904.
49THE officers of the Washington Symphony Society for the coming season will be Thomas F. Walsh, first vice president; G. Seckendorf, second vice president; B. H. Warner, third vice president; Eugene E. Stevens, treasurer; Hermann Rakenman, secretary; W. Bruce King, counsel; Sydney Lloyd Wrightson and Miss Katie V. Wilson, managers. The board of directors will consist of Reginald de Koven, E. H. Droop, E. E. Stevens, Herbert Wadsworth and S. L. Wrightson.
51Reginald de Koven sailed for Europe today. He will spend a large part of the summer in Paris in the study of orchestral matters, scores, new music and educational matters to put in use in connection with the Washington College of Music, of which he is to be dean and composition professor. A thoroughbred American, having college degrees from Yale, America, and Oxford, England; a composer of renown, and director who has proved in actual life his devotion and ability, the coming of Mr. De Koven into the educational field in America is to be hailed with pleasure and gratitude by all.
53J. W. Jeudwine, president of the Southern Music Teachers' Association, declares himself greatly encouraged and gratified by the unqualified success of the music movement in the South this month. The society now numbers 1,700, of which several hundred were in attendance. Much ardor and enthusiasm prevailed, especially among the women present, and many novel features were entered into looking to the advancement of music in the South. Music libraries to meet the impoverished condition of musical literature of the better class; the union of musical clubs with the association; the advancement of the musical features of ordinary clubs; and normal training, examination and certificates for music teachers, especially public school music teachers, are some of the measures in motion. The formation of committees of energetic women to act in various directions, reporting to the head centre, is another idea that has been actually formulated. Mr. Jeudwine is a judicious apostle of music, a veritable Horace Mann in his views. Gainesville, Ga., has guaranteed $1,000 to secure again next year the meeting of the association.
55Maria von Unschuld, president of the Washington University of Music, had a tremendous ovation at the Georgia Association, at which she was guest. Her piano recital was encored in the entire for the following evening. Invitations to play in various Southern cities poured in upon the artist, and as a consequence a flattering booking list was then and there opened for the coming winter. Applications for tuition in the university followed, and an extensive acquaintance was made with the Southern country, from which a large clientele will no doubt be drawn for the Washington University.
57A valuable violin master in Washington is Joseph Finckel. This artist is a pupil, and a favored one, of Ysaye. He studied a long time under the great Belgian, in Brussels, and later played under his direction and that of Colonne, Weingartner, Mottl and others of that class. Pugno, Gérardy, Rémy and DeGraeff are among his musical associates. Mr. Finckel was given the most flattering invitations to remain in music work in Europe, but in love with a sweet American girl what could the man do but refuse all temptation and return home? Mrs. Finckel being a skilled pianist the young couple established at once here a school of instrumental music and are now buying their lovely home.
59The Fletcher music method for little children has an able representative here in the person of Miss Louise Colborne, who is attracting much attention by her intelligent application of that device for commencing music in the right way. Miss Colborne, who is associated with a school of music in the city, has closed her season's work and gone to Canada for a vacation. She reopens work here on September 20.
61Mme. A. Posteli Everest, a representative here of the Organi vocal method (Vienna), has been approached by various schools as to connection with their departments for next season. Mme. Everest is a valuable acquisition to the vocal field of instruction, where she insists in beginning at the foundation instead of proceeding to waste time and money for the pupil by going on without it. Deep breathing, enunciation and pronunciation and memory training are among these fundamentals. Also sight reading and cultivation of imagination. She has likewise a beautiful voice and a capacity for vocal production.
63An innovation growing out of the establishment of the Wrightson College of Music in Washington, and instituted by that incomparable man of anticipation, is the establishment of a Washington College Inn, which shall be in all respects a complete residence for students coming into the city to attend the college. A lady of most charming personality, sound and high minded American ideals, practical experience in home making, highly informed, sympathetic, in every way the one for the place, has been already engaged for this important mission. The house has been leased and is undergoing the necessary fitting up. As no one place could possibly accommodate all, this lady will also be charged with the finding of other suitable places and directing the young musicians thereto. Mme. Silverthorne is the lady referred to. A host of admiring friends will ratify Mr. Wrightson's choice.
65Miss Eva Slocum, an accomplished Minnesota girl, now of Washington, hopes to enter upon serious music study in the fall.
67Changes of address, correspondence, aid of all kinds in musical directions, messages, or music, will be cheerfully attended to for all musicians going out of town for the summer. News of all music thought or movement is solicited in summer as in winter. The paper is to be found in sixty-one different headquarters in Washington. It tells of people, events, schools, choirs, studies in music, and will give advice or answer questions, and will be all ready for the da capo of early and hustling autumn. Headquarters, Droop's Music House, 925 Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, D. C.
