1PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 28, 1908.
3The musical season is practically over here. Many members of the orchestra have left, some going to their homes in various parts of the country and some going abroad. The fate of the orchestra is in the balance until April 1. In the programs at the last concert were slips, on which were statements of the financial condition of this season, and an appeal to the musical public to save the orchestra from extinction. People were requested to fill out blanks on accompanying post cards and mail them immediately to Mr. Mossman, the manager, the said cards would thereby show how many season ticket holders there would be next year. Up to date the response has been unsatisfactory. The cards received show only barely 20 per cent. of the total in hand when the season opened last October.
5The last concert of the series was given at the Board of Trade Auditorium Thursday, by the Mendelssohn Trio, Louis Angeloty, violinist, in place of Franz Kohler, who is recovering from a severe illness; Fritz Goerner, cellist, and Carl Bernthaler, pianist. Gertrude Clark, soprano assisted. The hall was crowded, extra chairs being placed in front and along the side aisles. The course of concerts has been very successful, both artistically and financially. The following numbers made up the request program: Trio, No. 2, op. 34, Chaminade; song, "Springtime," Ardit; trios, (a) "Prize Song," Wagner, (b) "Canzonetta," Godard, (c) serenade; trios, (a) melody in F, Rubinstein, (b) "Ave Maria," Bach-Gounod, (c) "Pierrette," Chaminade; songs, (a) "Madrigal," Chaminade, (b) "The Merry, Merry Lark," Nevin, (c) "Before the Dawn," Chadwick; trio, in F major, op. 80, Schumann.
7On the same evening, the students of the Bissel Conservatory of Music held a recital. Marie Sprague, director, arranged an enjoyable program from the works of Chopin, Liszt, Rubinstein, MacDowell, Weber, Denza and Ardit.
9A students' recital was given on Friday evening at the studios of E. Ellsworth Giles. The program consisted of selections from operas, and the following pupils sang: Lucille Roessing, May McCobb, Emma Foltz, Lucille Miller, Jeanne McCloy and Ida Heatley.
11The East Liberty Presbyterian Church had a special musical service last Sunday evening, when Gounod's "Gallicia" was sung. The choir consists of Mrs. J. S. Martin, Ella May Duffin, Paul K. Harper, H. Stanley Harris, a chorus of eighteen voices, James Stephen Martin, director, and Charles Wakefield Cadman, organist.
13Cecil Fanning, baritone, is to give a recital at Conservatory Hall, April 6.
15Marinus Salomens, pianist, assisted by Luigi von Kunits, violinist, will give a recital in Carnegie Lecture Hall, April 9.
17In Beaver Valley there are to be many concerts this spring. Louis Black, the vocal teacher of the college, has planned interesting programs. April 3, the Chaminade Club, which is a chorus of ladies, will present two cantatas. Mr. Black is the conductor. April 2, the choir of the Methodist Episcopal Church will repeat the cantata, "Olivet to Calvary," by Maunder. April 30, the Monday Musical Club will give its second concert of the season. May 8, in a concert by the advanced students, Herford's "Floriana" poems, set to music by Whiting, will be heard.
19Prescribed Cuticura
20After Other Treatment Failed—Raw Eczema on Baby's Face Had Lasted Three Months—At Last Doctor Found Cure.
22"Our baby boy broke out with eczema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak for three months, and he would cry out when I bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. I gave him three months' treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, he was well, and his face was as smooth as any baby's. He is now two years and a half old, and no eczema has reappeared. Mrs. M. L. Harris, Alton, Kan., May 14 and June 12, 1907."
