88Bispham Due in New York This Week.
90David Bispham, who is to return for a concert tour under Loudon Charlton's direction, sailed June 6 and will arrive this week. The famous baritone has been meeting with great success abroad, first in the "Vicar of Wakefield" and later in concert and oratorio, in which his efforts are always delightful. It was twelve years ago that Bispham gave his first recital in London, giving a complete afternoon of Schumann lieder. A Brahms concert followed, and, like its predecessor, was immensely successful.
92Though Bispham's intention on going to England for his debut was to devote himself exclusively to concert and oratorio, his appearance in an amateur operatic performance attracted such attention that he was immediately engaged for a baritone role in Messager's "The Basoche" at the Royal English Opera. Each subsequent summer he has sung in opera at Covent Garden, his roles numbering well nigh half a hundred, while his success in this country in opera has no less been marked.
94Greetings From Anna Bussert.
96This cut of Anna Bussert represents the soprano in the role of Gilda in "Rigoletto." Miss Bussert mailed the card to her managers, Haensel & Jones, from Milan, where she has been studying.

106PITTSBURGH, June 7, 1907.
108William Templeton Mossman, a well known Pittsburgh newspaper man, was unanimously elected manager of the Pittsburgh Orchestra Tuesday at a meeting of the orchestra committee of the Pittsburgh Art Society. He succeeds George H. Wilson.
110The annual concert given under the auspices of the Oakland Welsh Presbyterian Church on the evening of May 30 was attended by a crowd of music lovers. The singers were Agnes Vogel Roberts, soprano; Edith Harris Scott, contralto; Evan H. Williams, tenor, and Gwilym Miles, baritone.
112The greeting recital of H. Dahlmeyer Russell, pianist, held at the Penwood Club, May 31, attracted a large audience. Mr. Russell opened his program with Beethoven's "Waldstein" sonata, op. 53. Luigi von Kunits played "The Devil's Trill" Tartini, and "Rondo Capriccioso," Saint-Saëns, and as usual meeting with a most enthusiastic reception. A ballada by Vianna da Motta was played for the first time in America by Mr. Russell at this concert.
114The Von Kunits School of Music gave a students' recital last night in the lecture hall of Carnegie Institute. Those who took part were Ruth Thoburn, Master Lovener, Reid Jaynes, Horace Evans, William Bloom, Louis Closter, Rosaline Miller, Karl Blose, Dorothy Napier, Dorothy Gittings, Eloise Peck and Vera Barstow.
116Norman Hassler, baritone, appeared during the past season in over seventy-five of the leading cities and towns of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky, and has met with such great success that he has already booked over sixty-odd appearances for next season. E. L. W.
118Botel, the celebrated tenor, now has been singing in public for twenty-five years. He celebrated the event in Berlin a few days ago.
120Itching Eruptions

123Covered His Body—Suffered 14 Years—Completely Cured by Three Boxes of Cuticura.
125"Small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs, and shortly afterwards they became so sore that I could scarcely walk. The sores began to heal, but small, scaly eruptions appeared. The itching was so severe that I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. After I suffered thus about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on nearly every part of my body. The best doctor in my native county and many remedies gave no relief. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. A few months after I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering. B. Hiram Mattingly, Vermillion, S. Dak., Aug. 18, 1906."
