25OLEY SPEAKS
26Baritone – Composer
27Mr. Oley Speaks announces a recital-tour. He has arranged for this purpose a varied program, partly general in character and partly devoted to his own compositions (including fifteen of his most popular songs), which he presents in cooperation with a well-known soprano. Mr. Speaks will play the accompaniments to all songs composed by himself and will sing many of them.
28These recitals are a most attractive offering for musical clubs.

31Wanamaker Wagner Festival.
32Certainly his "Feier" loving compatriots could have shown no more marked honor to the memory of the master, Wilhelm Richard Wagner, than the many celebrations by his host of admirers on this side the water disclosed on May 22, 1913.
33One of the most striking evidences was the Wanamaker festival week, devoted to the life and works of Wagner, under the direction of Alexander Russell. This included a "Gala Concert" and unveiling of a Richard Wagner bust on the "Wagner Centenary Day."
34On this day, for some time before the appointed hour, the crowd began to fill the ample auditorium of the house of Wanamaker, New York, so that to stand was the only alternative of the late comers—and stand many did, and willingly, to all appearances, throughout a program which lasted for two and one-half hours.
35Part I consisted entirely of orchestral selections: "Kaiser March"; overture to "Rienzi"; "Good Friday Spell" ("Parsifal"); "Siegfried's Rhine Journey" ("Götterdämmerung"); "The Ride of the Valkyries" ("Walküre"), all played by the Volpe Symphony Orchestra, Arnold Volpe, conductor.
36Following the intermission two numbers—"Chorale," from Act III ("Meistersinger"), and "March and Chorus" ("Tannhäuser")—were sung by the Lambord Choral Society, Benjamin Lambord, conductor.
37William J. Henderson, in a short address, summed up the place which Wagner occupies in the musical world today.
38With the words, "Unveil the man—let the people see the face of this man, who has written the masterpieces of the modern lyric drama," the veil was removed, and, amid clamorous applause, a handsome bronze bust of the master, which is to occupy a conspicuous place in the Wanamaker Auditorium, was revealed.
39Baernstein-Regneas Artist-Pupil in Straus' Operetta.
40Leila Hughes, the lyric soprano, who has been singing the prima donna role in the new Oscar Straus operetta, "My Little Friend," with such marked success, is a product of the Baernstein-Regneas. Miss Hughes is a pretty, piquant blonde with a rich, warm soprano voice, which she handles with great skill. Her full throated forte tones off with the honors of the production. Miss Hughes has a magnificent soprano voice, clear and true. Also she is extraordinarily pretty and carried herself with a charming grace. Her work was wildly applauded from time to time. Indeed, she was a surprise and a treat.—New York American, May 20, 1913.
41MISS HUGHES WINS FAVOR.
42As it is presented at the New Amsterdam Theater, it has the advantage of at least one unusually good voice. The voice belongs to Leila Hughes, who has improved amazingly since that short time ago when she made her appearance on Broadway in "Two Little Brides." There was plenty of reason for the numerous repetitions of "No Journey's too Far for a Lover" and "My Little Friend," which brought Miss Hughes repeated and voluminous rounds of applause.—New York Times, May 20, 1913.
43Miss Hughes was evidently chosen for her part, on account of her sweet voice. "No Journey's too Far for a Lover" was the most attractive song and brought the greatest approval from the audience. Miss Hughes' solo, "My Little Friend," was one of her very best songs and was very sweetly sung.—New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser.
44Leila Hughes' singing of "My Little Friend" was the most applauded number of the evening and proved her to be a charming singer.—New York Herald, May 20, 1913.
45Among the principals, Leila Hughes stood conspicuously apart from the rest. The numbers that fell to her share she sang with much magnetism and charm.—New York World, May 20, 1913.

47Van Yorx Summer Course.
48Theodore van Yorx announces that he will keep open his vocal studios, 21 West Thirty-eighth street, New York City, this summer, for the benefit of those who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity to study during the vacation period. Mr. van Yorx has been associated for over fifteen years in professional work and is well known throughout the country as a tenor of high rank, while his many appearances with the leading oratorio societies and orchestras, together with his broad experience in concert, recital and church work, have afforded him the requisite knowledge to impart the vocal art in all its branches.
49Mr. van Yorx has made a specialty of the requirements of church work, in which he has had over twenty years' experience, and as this class of artistic activity is essential for those who contemplate an artistic career, they will do well to consult him. Voice trials by appointment only.
50Helen Hulsman's Future.
51Little Helen Hulsman, the pianist of tender years, who has appeared several times at the Wanamaker Auditorium in New York, the last time a fortnight ago in her own recital, has developed a very promising voice, so that it is planned for her to begin vocal study the coming autumn. It is recalled that Sembrich was originally a pianist, then violinist. Campanari, the baritone, was cellist in the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and many other similar instances are on record.
