9So many of Frank Morse's pupils have returned that he has very few places for new students. Always finding ways to give pupils a broad musical education, Mr. Morse announces a course in musical theory and practical sight singing, which is conducted by his accompanist, Alice Siever Pulsifer. Mrs. Pulsifer, by the way, is said to be one of the best accompanists in Boston.
11Madame Birdsall-Strong is now on a concert tour with the Giguerre Trio, the members being Mr. Giguerre, violinist; Mr. Gers, pianist, and Madame Birdsall-Strong, mezzo contralto, vocalist. They will tour through the Middle West for a month or more, playing some important engagements. Madame Strong will return to Boston in time to resume teaching early in November.
13Mrs. A. A. Hawley, a pupil of Gertrude Franklin Salisbury, has been engaged to sing in "Elijah" and "The Seasons." Both oratorios are to be performed under Mollenhauer's direction. Miss Salter, another pupil of Mrs. Salisbury, has secured the position of head of the vocal department at the Petersburg (Va.) Woman's College. Besides these appointments, Mrs. Salisbury has placed six of her pupils as teachers in seminaries and schools in Pennsylvania and several Southern States. She reports she cannot fill all the applications she receives.
15Agostino Carbone has published an interesting booklet on "Voice Production," which he is distributing free to all applicants. Mr. Carbone's name is familiar as a leading artist in opera here and abroad. His vocal studio is at 240 Fifth avenue.
17Mrs. Smock Boice's Success.
19THE Mercantile and Financial Times has a column article on Mrs. Henry Smock Boice's success as a vocal teacher. Among other things is printed:
21The points of merit that stood forth primarily, were the "naturalness" of the methods—the entire absence of strain on the part of the pupils—the fact that their voices seemed to be entirely natural, and anything that savored of strain was conspicuous by its absence. Secondly, there were to be observed, correctness of voice control, which, of course, results in clear expression—"understandable," as one of the audience remarked. What we desire to especially refer to is method—the superiority of the individual instruction, which includes the art of breathing properly, of controlling the voice, of concentrating the power of rendering the notes clearly and naturally—of giving the proper dramatic finish to the individual recital, in fact all these things are in the line of the individual instructor, and the excellence of the work accomplished, has nowhere been better shown than at the successful and artistic concert of Mrs. Henry Smock Boice.
23A Manager's Opinion.
25GEORGE N. LOOMIS, manager of Weil's Band, recently received the following letter from an old and successful impresario:

32Paris, Ill., October 9, 1905. one of two readings
34Geo. N. Loomis, Gen'l Mgr. Weil's Band, New York, N. Y.:
36My Dear Sir—I have been in the opera house management for over thirty years, and I think I am a judge of good music when I hear it. Weil's Band is a great one, and gave unusual satisfaction here in two concerts on Saturday. I consider it the peer of any in this country or Europe, and I have played both. The only regret I have to make is, that this community did not realize beforehand how truly great the band is. I worked hard for their success. The next time people here will know what Weil's Band is, and my theatre will not be large enough. Yours truly,

43AFTER spending the week in New York, arranging for his forthcoming season, Ellison van Hoose has returned to Melody Manor to devote what brief opportunities are left to the joys of amateur farming. Van Hoose is to sing first this year in Boston November 3 and 4 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. A tour of considerable length is being scheduled under the management of Loudon G. Charlton.

50SAN FRANCISCO.
52SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., October 7, 1905.
54JEWISH New Year was celebrated by big festivals in Temple Emanu-El Saturday morning, September 30. The choir, under the direction of Cantor E. J. Stark, consisted of twenty voices and an orchestra of twelve pieces. W. A. Sabin presided at the organ. Cantor Stark's powerful baritone voice was heard to advantage in the traditional Jewish melodies and also in the concerted elaborated compositions, which emanated largely from his pen. An important feature was the singing of the Shofar service, also composed by Cantor Stark, which he has recently published. The solo parts were interpreted by Daisy Cohn, soprano; Mrs. H. Kelly, contralto; Mr. Liederman, tenor, and S. Holmes Henley, basso. Cantor Stark has occupied his present position for a great number of years and has composed music that has been adopted by nearly every Jewish Reformed Temple in America.
56Irene Palmer, child pianist, entertained a good sized audience at Steinway Hall, Thursday evening, September 28. Miss Palmer has achieved wonders after a few years of study with Hugo Mansfeldt. She possesses remarkable technic and firmness of touch, seemingly impossible for a child of her age. The program included numbers of Beethoven, Schubert, Rubinstein, Rheinberger, Moszkowski, Grieg, Tschaikowsky, Liebling, Zarenbski, and Liszt. Friends of Miss Palmer sent flowers in such large quantities that it was really embarrassing for the recipient.
58Aino Ackté will sing the soprano part in Mahler's C minor symphony (with soprano solo), at Berlin, on November 8.
