1seems to give just the right touch to her songs without ever seeming to strain for effect."
3From New Orleans: "She has a rich, beautiful contralto voice which she uses with the ease and finish of an artist."
5From New Brunswick: "The singer's selections were of the best. Her giving of them was full of spirit, sympathy and artistic expression."
7From Salt Lake City: "A singer quite above the ordinary. One whom it is a delight to see as well as to hear."
9This last remark is well chosen, as Miss Drew is a beautiful woman, a brunette with splendid eyes and a face full of fire and nobility. By appearance alone she would always be a salon favorite.
11In addition to her own vocal success, Miss Drew is highly spoken of for her skill in imparting both style and technic, and for quickly advancing pupils in work and career. Further news of her activity in the country and here, will occur from time to time. Parents in the West and South who admire this artist's work, will do well to keep in touch with her studio in planning the training of their children.

18Herbert Witherspoon's Recital.
20AT the recital which Herbert Witherspoon will give at Mendelssohn Hall, Thursday afternoon, November 16, the basso will repeat the program presented at his London concert in May last. One English critic compared Witherspoon's voice with the voice of Plançon by writing: "For sonority, power, sweetness and even quality throughout the voice of the American singer is not unlike that of the great operatic star. Witherspoon is an ideal recital singer."
22After the New York recital Witherspoon is to sing the same program in Brooklyn, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Cleveland.

69MILWAUKEE, Wis., October 12, 1905.
71HE coming year promises to be one of more than ordinary activity in music in Milwaukee. Teachers, both conservatory and individual, report a good year beginning; musical societies are taking hold with vim, all with interesting work scheduled for the winter; the prospects of all the great touring artists visiting us are good, and Mr. Savage will give us a week of opera in the spring. Local artists, too, seem to be branching out with new spirit. The probabilities are that the plans for a great music hall, to take the place of the old Exposition Building, now fortunately in ashes, will soon materialize into something real and substantial.
73The Wisconsin Conservatory of Music will make a decided step in advance this year. The conservatory will be moved from its present quarters to new and in every way more adequate quarters, now in special preparation for it in the new Wells Estate Building, corner of Mason and Milwaukee. The great centre of attraction in its new home will be the recital hall, which will be as near the ideal as art and science can make it. The hall will be modeled after the Bechstein Hall, in Berlin, with a color scheme in white and gold. Armand Koch, of Milwaukee, is the designer. No expenditure will be spared to make the equipment throughout in every way adequate and complete. The location itself is extremely convenient, because so easily accessible from every quarter.
75The places in the faculty left vacant by the resignation of J. Erich Schmoal and Guy Bevier Williams have been filled by the appointment of Louis Gerhard Sturm, piano, pedagogy and ensemble; Hans Bruening, piano, and Frederick Carberry, voice. Mr. Sturm comes here as a stranger, well heralded, however, and giving every evidence of proving a live and potent force in music here in Milwaukee.
77The conservatory opened September 11 with the best of prospects for a good year. The department of public school music will be emphasized more than ever and will again be under the direction of Lillian Watts. Elizabeth Taylor has again taken up her work at the conservatory, after a summer stay in New York and Boston.
79Katherine Clark, after a three months' course in repertory and voice placing with the Topping-Browns, in New York city, is at work again at class and choir work, refreshed from visitations to summer resorts.
81Jennie Owen is back in her familiar place in the studio. Albert Fink has been on a trip to the Pacific Coast. William Middelchulte, great among organists, has been on a tour in Switzerland, taking in the Wagner Festival en route. Mrs. Norman Hoffmann has been working up repertory, combining hard work with vacation.
83The many friends of J. Erich Schmoal, so long identified with the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, will be pleased to know of the successful inauguration of his independent venture as founder and director of the American School of Pianism and Vocalism. Mr. Schmoal reports the outlook from the very first month favorable beyond his rosiest expectations. To all who know the founder-director and his work the following statement from the prospectus will carry the weight that is due genuine sincerity of motive and principle:
85"In opening this school, I beg to say that I will aim to embody in its curriculum that which has made the strength and worth of the foremost American and European institutions. I will keep forever true to the highest in art, and try to develop and sustain in the pupils the principles of conscientiousness, of honesty, of enthusiasm in one's work, and to adhere only to the loftiest ideals. I will offer to the earnest and willing student every possible advantage, and by a serious, careful, conscientious course of study, from the very beginning to the highest requirements of a teacher and an artist, give the most possible and greatest good to every pupil."
87Guy Bevier Williams, for the past five years teacher of piano and harmony in the Wisconsin Conservatory, has opened up a home studio at 663 Van Buren street. Mr. Williams continues as head of the music department of Carroll College, Waukesha, devoting certain days of each week to his work there.
89The College Endowment Association opened its season with a musicale at the Athenaeum Wednesday afternoon last, in which the following participated: Mrs. Proctor Smith, Enolia Carpenter, Arthur Daniels and Della Thal.
91Harry Roccoli gave a song recital at the Wisconsin College of Music Thursday, October 5.
93Herman Ruhoff, for the past five years identified with the best of orchestral work here in the city, has secured an engagement with the Pittsburgh Orchestra.
95The Upmediate Club opened its year's work October 7 with a piano program. The year will be devoted to a careful study of musical ornamentation.
97A musical event of the summer was a recital given by Mrs. Anthony Dahlman and Miss Dahlman, at which Louis Odin Renning furnished the program.
99At the opening concert to be given this evening at the Milwaukee Athletic Club Alexander Mac Fadyen, a pianist in whom Milwaukee feels special interest, since he is Milwaukee bred and trained, will begin his extended engagement with Leonora Jackson, the violinist, Sibyl Sammis, soprano, and Charles E. Clarke, baritone, will also assist.

103The Teatro Lirico, in Milan, announces the early production of "Enoch Arden," a new opera by Gaetano Coronaro. Another opera on the same theme was given in Berlin last year (Robert Erben was the composer), and a third "Enoch Arden," by Rudolph Reimann, will soon have its premiere at Leipsic.
