1characteristic compositions for band. As a director Pryor brings to his work an enthusiasm, an equipment, and experience that fits him for his position in the front rank.
3Mr. Pryor has endeared himself to the popular audiences by his observance of their wishes in his program making. As an interpreter of high class compositions his conducting is marked by a knowledge of and adherence to traditional readings, perhaps in the Wagnerian programs he demonstrates more forcibly the keenly artistic and discriminating musician. He has offered this season to the devotees of the Wagnerian cult many fine programs, embracing "Tannhäuser" overture, "Flying Dutchman" overture, "Knights of the Holy Grail" music, "Parsifal"; "Entry of the Gods Into Walhalla," "Rheingold"; excerpts from "Die Walküre"; "Pilgrims' Chorus," "Tannhäuser"; "Funeral of Siegfried," "Götterdämmerung"; "Liebestod," "Tristan and Isolde"; prelude, "Bridal Chorus" and Verwandlung's music, "Lohengrin." This band has been a great acquisition and the leading attraction at Asbury Park, and its influence will be carried away to many homes and will bear fruit in the future as an educator in the art of music. The general desire of the many visitors at the Park is that many opportunities may come later to hear "Pryor and his Band."

7Eugen Gura Dead.
9Eugen Gura, formerly a famous Wagner singer, died last week in Munich. He was sixty-four years old. Born in Pressern, Bohemia, in 1842, he made his operatic debut at Munich in 1865, and later sang leading Wagner roles in Leipsic, Hamburg, London, and Bayreuth. For the past dozen years or so, Gura had been a popular song recitalist in Germany, although he did not end his regular operatic career until 1902, when he retired from the Munich Opera.
11MYRTLE ELVYN IN BERLIN.
13Wormwood and gall are the harvest rightly reaped by the Berlin appearances of many a famous musician, but in the case of Myrtle Elvyn the caustic Berlin critics were surprised into avowals of a far different kind. They pricked up their ears in astonishment, and then simultaneously burst forth into plaudits of the following and similar nature:
15Myrtle Elvyn seems to have stepped into the ranks of the young pianists who make themselves remembered from year to year. Nothing so distinguishes her style as the energy with which she has worked to improve herself since the previous year. And if then any one doubted whether in her case we have to do with diligence or genuine talent, this time there was no longer possibility of doubt; in Miss Elvyn we have to do with a powerful talent. We have been enabled to maintain her manliness of nuance, and we must admit that her power of musical imagination is clearly to be recognized. Naturally a piece like Chopin's barcarole could be given in more Polish style; naturally in the Schumann symphonic etudes the note of joviality should not be so one sidedly sounded. But what argument is all of that against the definite evidence of a healthful musical progress, in which the technical element is already felt as a matter of course?—Berliner Tageblatt, February 10, 1906.
17The lovely artist, Myrtle Elvyn, gave very delightful renderings. A soft and beautiful tone, a carefully polished technic, and a delivery tasteful and full of inner understanding are the excellencies to be praised in her.—Berliner Börsen-Zeitung, February 8, 1906.
19Among the most delightful new acquaintances whom our concert life has brought us during the course of the year, the young American, Myrtle Elvyn, undoubtedly belongs.
21On the 6th of February, in Beethoven Hall; I heard her play the Schumann symphonic etudes so lucidly and with such understanding and temperament that the fullest recognition can be lavished upon her artistic piano playing.—National Zeitung, February 10, 1906.
23I point with all decision to a young talent—Myrtle Elvyn. On February 6, in Beethoven Hall, Myrtle Elvyn introduced herself as a pianist of extraordinary technical advancement. A certain coolness of delivery lent her art a subtle charm.—Berliner Zeitung, February 8, 1906.
25Miss Elvyn's technic is excellent. She possesses decided talent. Chopin's barcarole was given a strikingly mature performance.—Vossische Zeitung, February 8, 1906.
27New Triumphs for Yaw in California.
29Word comes from California that Ellen Beach Yaw, the coloratura soprano, is repeating her triumph of last March at the New York Hippodrome, when 4,000 people applauded her to the echo. She is filling the halls in California as never before, pleasing a variety of people gathered from all portions of the United States. It is fair to presume that when her Eastern season begins she will duplicate them. Another echo of the Hippodrome success:
31No less than four thousand persons gathered into the Hippodrome last night to hear Kubelik and Victor Herbert's Orchestra and Ellen Beach Yaw. Kubelik and Mr. Herbert are familiar here, but it has been some years since Miss Yaw was heard on our stage. * * * She makes her appeal on her knowledge of the art of song. And her singing undoubtedly can claim attention for its own sake. She sang last night the mad scene from "Lucia" and the bell song from Delibes' "Lakmé" in the original key—not a particularly difficult feat for her. Clearness and ease of phrasing, purity and sweetness of tone, a middle register developed now, a charming presence and a correct feeling for the music were disclosed in her performance.—The Tribune.
