1GREATER NEW YORK.
3NEW YORK, May 6, 1907.
5Carl M. Roeder's advanced pupils united in a concert at Carnegie Chamber Music Hall, April 29, Cora E. Guild, J. Ralph Stamy and Hans Kronold assisting. The Roeder pupils always make a good showing. Standard works by the classic and modern composers were on the program, performed by Adolph Schuetz, Elsie Becker, Bessie R. Crane, Alevia R. Lynch, Anne R. Brown, Sydna Edythe Rauch and Samuel Mensch. All these played with confidence, discreet pedaling, clean cut technic, and from memory, gratifying progress being observable in those who were heard last year. Mr. Roeder is not content with his pupils playing simply the correct notes, but makes them dig underneath; the consequence is highly enjoyable playing, and the audience, which filled the hall to overflowing, realized this, and was generous in applause. Miss Guild is a highly intelligent artist, possessing a brilliant soprano voice, and Mr. Stamy's bass voice should yet bring that young man to the front. Both singers earned encores.
7Albert Gerard Thiers conducts the Cantata Club, women singers, and at its concert, April 29, in the Duryea Hall, the club had the assistance of Richard Arnold, violin; Hans Kronold, violoncello, and the Arnold String Sextet. Part songs by modern composers were well sung by the club. Part second of the program contained "The Fisher Maidens," a cantata, by Smart, with incidental solos. The Arnold Sextet pleased greatly. Mr. Kronold, as usual, was called on for encores, delighting all by his playing. Mr. Thiers sang a group of three French songs.
9Irwin Evelthe Hassell, pianist; Madame Lorraine, soprano; Emma Ames Dambmann, contralto, and Wilfred Edge, baritone, united in a concert in Carnegie Lyceum May 1. Mr. Hassell's playing of pieces by Chopin and Liszt evoked expressions of praise. He plays with fire and finish. Mme. Lorraine sang an aria from "Der Freischutz," and Miss Dambmann one by Verdi, "O Don Fatale."
11Pupils of Emil Rhode, assisted by Martha Henry Timothy, soprano, gave a recital at Duryea's April 26. The program contained twenty-eight numbers, and took a large share of the afternoon to perform. Mr. Rhode would do better to have fewer pieces on his programs.
13Otto Paul Schubert's concert at Tenafly, April 29, was attended by the aristocracy of the town, and the singer was warmly received. His voice has grown rounder and fuller of late. He is an exponent of the Decsi vocal school. His English songs were admired, and he had to sing encores. In Brahms' "Wie bist Du meine Konigin" he seemed to reach the heart of the people, and after Buzzi-Peccia's "Gloria" he was repeatedly recalled. Master P. Tallerico, pianist; Mrs. J. A. Carpenter, mezzo; Emelie Grey, harpist; Siegfried Broeder, cellist, and Anna Jewell at the piano, completed the roster of artists of this concert.
15Irene Collyer gave her closing pupils' recital at her studio April 24. She, with some of her pupils, will leave for Europe May 25.
17Irwin E. Hassell played piano solos at the banquet given by the executive committee of the Peace Conference, Hotel Astor, May 2. Wherever this pianist plays he wins new admirers.
19The "International Art Society of New York" was organized last week with a large charter membership, and a board of reference, comprising prominent members of the clergy, noted musical people and others. The society aims to be instructive, protective and social. It will endeavor to prevent the constant call for free services of artists, and to obtain for them proper fees. Men and women are members and may join upon payment of the dues, $3 annually. J. Christopher Marks, organist and choirmaster of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, has been elected director.
21Fred A. Shadell, tenor, has a voice of even quality. He sings sacred music particularly well. May 9 he will sing at the musicale to be given in the Marks Conservatory of Music, in Harlem.
23A. Niestle-Lenoir, baritone, related to leading vocalists of Europe, sings equally well in English, Italian or German. He has had experience as a church singer.
25Mary Winston Somerville issued cards for a musicale for April 29. Florabel Sherwood, soprano, and Stella Haloway, contralto, were to sing. Miss Sherwood was, however, ill, so the entire program was sung by Miss Haloway, a St. Louis girl. Miss Sherwood will leave New York for a summer's stay in Europe soon.
27Eva Emmett Wycoff substituted as soprano soloist at the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church, Brooklyn, last month, greatly to the pleasure of all concerned, including Organist Riesberg and the congregation. At a few hours' notice she took up all the solos and sang them well.
29Felia Dario's classes in vocal music in Hudson, N. Y., recently gave "Pinafore" in superior style, Mme. Dario conducting, and the following quotations show what the press think of her work:
31To place such a production on the stage was no small undertaking, but Madame Dario was equal to the occasion and gave Hudsonians a musical treat that was much enjoyed. She has never disappointed the public in what she undertakes and her interest has been manifested.—Columbia Republican.
33The Art Society owes its inception to Madame Dario and she should receive great credit for having caused such a delightful production to be given. Her efforts and those of her lieutenant, Raymond Mullens, were most noticeable in the precision of the choruses and of the general spirit and finish noticeable in the performance throughout. Both the above named have been untiring in their efforts to make the production successful, and they may rest assured that their efforts have been appreciated. Madame Dario showed herself to be a leader of resource.—Hudson Register.
35Charles E. Davis, bass, and Minnie Castle Davis, soprano, located in Alliance, Ohio, have sung much in that region in concert, each also busy as church singers. Mrs. Davis is again in New York, pursuing special vocal studies with Frank J. Benedict, her former teacher.
37Abbie Clarkson Totten, soprano, gave her annual concert at Hotel Endicott, May 7, assisted by Lillian L. Lamson, reader; F. W. Kretsmar, violinist; a mandolin and guitar quartet, and Mrs. Kretsmar at the piano.
39Tomorrow (Thursday, May 9) the Amateur Glee Club, Frank Seymour Hastings, president, will give a concert in the Berkeley Lyceum Theater.
41Thursday evening, May 9, J. Christopher Marks and Mrs. Marks will give a recital in honor of the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory and Mrs. Gregory.
43A Furious Eruption
45Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body—Nothing Helped Her—Child Cured in Five Days by a Set of Cuticura Remedies.
47"After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious, itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal, and for three weeks we used all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We then sent for Cuticura Remedies, and after twenty-four hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time. Mrs. F. Ruefennacht, R. F. D. 3, Bakersfield, Cal., June 25 and July 20, 1906."
