1THE MUSICAL COURIER
3in the Keyport Presbyterian Church recently, the Keyport Weekly making special mention of it.
5Samuel Ollstein, violinist, pupil of von Ende, played solos and an obligato for Harriet Barkley Riesberg at the annual meeting of the Central Baptist Church, February 25. Without previous experience, he played a most acceptable obligato, and his solos were done with taste and expression. It is prophesied he will become successor to Kotlarsky. Mrs. Riesberg sang songs by Bartlett, Strauss and Mrs. Beach; she is a favorite with this congregation, singing there only occasionally, however.
7John Cushing, organist of Calvary Church, Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street, began a series of three organ recitals February 24, when he played various works by modern French composers. He literally "makes the organ talk," playing with exceeding spirit. Lloyd Rand, tenor, sang twice. The next recital takes place Thursday, March 10, Elizabeth Schaup, soprano; and the last on Tuesday, March 22, both at 3.30 p. m.
9Adah C. Hussey, the contralto, has been engaged for the Paterson May Festival, appearing with Nordica and others. Other dates for the immediate future are "The Elijah," Amherst; with the Liederkrantz, Detroit Mich.; with the McIntire Trio, Lakewood, N. J.; in Toledo and Jersey City. When on tour with the Oratorio Quartet last autumn she sang in Boise City, Idaho, and this is from The Statesman:
11Miss Hussey was delightful. She sang "O Don Fatale" with great feeling, and proved popular in quartets. Her tones are pure and even, and she has an admirable stage presence.
13The gathering of members of the National Association of Organists, Mark Andrews, president, at the Tali Esen Morgan studios, 1947 Broadway, February 26, was marked by goodly numbers and much interest. The association is now getting ready for a vigorous campaign, Christmas duties having caused a temporary lull. Following the business conference refreshments were served.
15Clara E. Thoms' attractive young pupil, Florence Reid, is playing Mildred in Savage's "The Love Cure" Company, in Chicago. George McGarry, baritone, frequently mentioned as another Thoms pupil, made his Chicago debut at the new La Salle Hotel February 25, an orchestra of eighteen pieces accompanying him. He may go abroad this spring, appearing in London concerts.
17Francis Motley appeared as Plunkett in "Martha," at Brooklyn, recently, making a hit, because of his fine singing and unctuous acting. He is especially associated in the public mind with Mephistopheles in Gounod's "Faust," but is equally enjoyable in "Martha."
19Hans Letz, violinist, has accepted the position of second concertmaster of the Chicago Theodore Thomas Orchestra, leaving New York at once to assume his duties. In the short time of his residence here Mr. Letz has become well known, playing as soloist, as leading violinist, member of the McIntire Trio, with Geraldine Morgan-Roeder, and having many pupils. He will be a decided acquisition to Chicago.
21Hallett Gilberté's songs were sung by pupils of Mr. Warford at the latter's studio. Six singers took part, Alice Gregory, Mesdames de Perris and Greenleaf Smith, sopranos; Margaret Sommer, Mary Handel, altos; Mrs. Gilberté assisted in recitations.
23Pupils of Perry Averill have obtained excellent church positions, among them Alice Mertens, of Bridgeport, who will sing in the Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn; Elizabeth de Cant, soprano, who will sing in a Plainfield church.
25Beatrice Eberhard's piano and violin pupils will unite in a recital at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel March 8. The primary and intermediate grades only will be represented. The advanced pupils' recital is set for May 3.
27John W. Nicholls, tenor, is to be tenor soloist at the Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church, Brooklyn, after May 1. He is also tenor soloist of Temple Israel, Harlem, and sings Sunday afternoons at Columbia University, St. Paul's Chapel.
29The annual president's reception, Women's Philharmonic Society, to Amy Fay, as usual, is planned for Saturday evening, March 5, Chamber Music Hall. On the program are soloists, the Philharmonic Chorus (Mrs. Speke-Seeley, conductor) and the Women's Philharmonic Orchestra, Marguerite Moore, conductor.
31Moritz E. Schwarz's organ recital program at Trinity Church, Wednesday, March 2, 3.30 o'clock: suite for organ, Bartlett; violin solo, "Largo," Handel, Ernest Russel; fantasia in G, Bach; menuet and trio, Faulkes; violin solo, "To A Wild Rose," MacDowell; religious march, Guilmant.
33"The Butterflies," comedy in three acts, by Henry Guy Carleton; "The Dowager," a comedy in one act, by Charles Matthews, constitute the make-up of the program of the fifth matinee to be given by the American Academy
