51Von Ende Pupils in Successful Recital.
52May 22 the entire first floor space of the Von Ende School of Music, in New York, including the stairs, was crowded with people gathered to hear several of Mr. von Ende's personal pupils play music principally by modern composers. Eight numbers made up the interesting program, printed in last week's issue of THE MUSICAL COURIER, of which two were ensemble numbers.
54The evening began with a Bach prelude and the noble chaconne, played unisono by the Bach class, with piano and organ accompaniment, and this feat was accomplished in finished manner. Both tone and expression were united. Jacob Rittenband followed, playing a violin that seemed to one listener to be inferior; out of it he drew broad tones, showing good technic in the G minor concerto by Bruch. Harry Gitnick, juvenile violinist (appearing to be about ten years of age), was fine in his playing of the ever effective De Beriot ninth concerto. He seems to have in him the making of a virtuoso. Harold Micklin is another violinist who has accomplished much in his few years; he played Vieuxtemps' "Air varie" with very good tone and taste.
56Of course, Sergei Kotlarski received a warm greeting on appearing before his many admirers; there were many present who have seen him develop during a few years into one of America's leading violinists. A Martini andantino showed his breadth of tone; Couperin's "La Precieuse" was filled with grace, and Cartier's "The Chase" went with fine speed and effect; so loud and prolonged was the applause that he had to repeat "The Chase." Samuel Ollstein played with virtuoso brilliancy and singing tone the "Moise" fantasia on the G string, by Paganini. Jacob Gitnick's playing of the seventh concerto by De Beriot was pronounced "great" by all present; he, too, is on the road to great accomplishment.
58The Von Ende Violin Choir finished the program with Reissiger's overture, "Die Felsenmühle," the light, pretty music going well; and as a closing number, Von Weber's "Jubel" overture, which the choir plays with professional swing and finish. Edith Evans at the piano and Hans van den Burg at the organ furnished superior accompaniments.
60May 26 the annual concert of the Von Ende School of Music took place at the Astor Gallery and was attended by a representative of THE MUSICAL COURIER, who will duly report it in the forthcoming issue.
62Garrigue Mott's Studio News.
63Alice Saiter Emerson, who has made a special study of the art of singing and repertory in English, Italian, French and German, with the purpose of becoming a teacher, has been engaged by the Washington Seminary, of Washington, Pa., to take charge of the vocal department at that institution. She has a contralto voice of wide range and fine quality. While at the seminary Mrs. Emerson will give a series of recitals each season. The programs for these musicales are now being rehearsed with Alice Garrigue Mott in New York.
65Yolanda Mérö to Play Abroad.
66Happy at the close of a brilliant season, during which she filled engagements with the leading orchestras and clubs and appeared in private recitals, Yolanda Mérö, the noted Hungarian pianist, sails June 10, in order to fill a number of European engagements prior to taking a well earned vacation.
68Much is claimed for Madame Mérö's art, through her remarkable technical efficiency and temperamental sweep.
70With that same technical mastery for a foundation, the pianist unites a deeply musical nature, an unfaltering rhythmic sense and a poetic insight that charms her hearers.
72Thus well equipped Madame Mérö succeeds invariably, hence the inevitable return engagements, and the numerous new dates now being booked by Manager Charles L. Wagner and his associate, G. F. Cowen, who have Madame Mérö's artistic destinies under their guidance for the coming season.
74Noted Artists Snapped at Ann Arbor.
75The accompanying snapshots were taken during the recent music festival held at Ann Arbor, Mich., a full report of which appeared in last week's MUSICAL COURIER. Madame Schumann-Heink, Marie Rappold and Henri Scott were among the soloists, and Albert A. Stanley was the musical director of the festival.

79Tardy Arrival—Goodness, am I as late as that?—Harper's Bazar.

113This recital promises to be unusually interesting, inasmuch as the students who are to be heard are among Madame Maigille's best, and there are not a few who possess remarkable talent. Ethel Leginska will be the solo pianist and F. Everay Jones, organist and choir director of St. Marks P. E. Church, Philadelphia, will be the accompanist.
115Madame Maigille is a teacher of wide reputation and many of her pupils are now occupying prominent positions on the opera and concert stages, as well as in oratorio and church work. A large attendance is expected at the recital.
117Sacchetti Re-engaged by Boston Opera.
118Umberto Sacchetti, the tenor (a Lesley Martin pupil), has been re-engaged by the Boston Opera Company to sing leading roles. His success on the road was such that the young singer may well feel his future is assured. He sang principally Dick Johnson ("Girl of the Golden West"), Radames ("Aida") and the Duke ("Rigoletto"), and in these parts, as in others, won golden press opinions, some of which follow:
120Umberto Sacchetti looked the Duke and acted him with more distinction than Caruso, and sang also with a fresh clear tone which balked not at its high C's.—Brooklyn Daily Standard Union, May 28, 1912.
122Umberto Sacchetti in the role of Radames has a pliant, rich, mellow tenor, which he sends out with an artistic reserve which strikes appealingly.
124Too, he invests his every line with a serious dignity, phrasing them with the force and enthusiasm of the capable actor, and with the artistic worth of his splendid voice. His histrionic ability was dominant in power.—Oregonian, Portland, January 24, 1912.
126Umberto Sacchetti, who made his first appearance this season, is a well known artist and he gave an artistic and satisfactory presentation of the Duke. In his upper register his voice was full and ringing, and his singing of "La Donna e Mobile" was superb, and the aria had to be repeated.—Brooklyn Daily Eagle, May 28, 1912.
128The Johnson of Umberto Sacchetti was also commendable. One rarely hears more exquisite singing than his when he poured out the wonderful music of the aria in the last act.—Virginian Pilot, Charleston, November 29, 1911.
130Umberto Sacchetti as Dick Johnson stood out above the other male characters of the act. His voice was at all times clear and of exceptionally fine range. In his scenes with Minnie he fully equalled her, and their work was a delightful treat to all music lovers. Sacchetti's voice and acting was of a quality, however, that did not demand a trained musical ear to appreciate it, and any one with the slightest conception of musical beauty would have enjoyed it. His best work was in the last act, when he was voicing the three wishes he wanted fulfilled before he died. Every person felt that intense longing for life and love that was expressed in his work.—The Democrat, Nashville, Tenn., November 22, 1911.
132Leon Rains Leaves for Europe.
133Leon Rains, the noted basso and Royal Saxon Court chamber singer, of Dresden, sailed for Europe Tuesday, May 27, on the steamship Friedrich Wilhelm II. Mr. Rains will return in the Fall for another American tour.
135Musical Comedy.
136I like the milkmaid in a show;
137She has much charm.
138We seldom see that kind, you know,
139Upon the farm.
