4Marion Green appeared recently at the festival held in Valparaiso, Ind. The appended press notices attest to his success:
6Mr. Green has appeared here several times and to hear him is always an inspiration. His work last evening only added emphasis to what has already been said of his talent. Aside from having a wonderful voice, Mr. Green's ability to impersonate the character which he sings is of the highest order.—Valparaiso Vidette, May 9, 1913.
8Mr. Green sang with incomparable dignity and purity of style the difficult recitative, "Nay, Why Should All the Gladness"; the duet by Mr. Green and Miss Brown was one of the delights of the evening.—Valparaiso Messenger, May 9, 1913.
10Theodora Sturkow Ryder, the popular Chicago pianist, played her forty-ninth appearance this season on Tuesday evening, May 20, at La Grange, Ill. Mrs. Ryder is very busy now making arrangements for her next year's programs.
12A recital by Adelaide Lewis, contralto, and Edgar A. Nelson, accompanist, assisted by Guy Herbert Woodard, violinist, and members of the ensemble class of the Bush Temple Conservatory, took place at Recital Hall, Friday evening, May 23. The program opened with the César Franck sonata, first and fourth movements, played by Mr. Woodard and Annie Thompson. Miss Lewis' first group consisted of classical songs by Schumann, Beethoven and Brahms. The Grieg sonata in G major, first movement, was well rendered by Mr. Woodard and Lucille Wallace. In her second group Miss Lewis was heard in Paladilh's "Chanson Russe," Hahn's "Si mes vers avaient des Ailes" and in "A Southern Light," by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Mr. Woodard and Katherine Bailey played the sonata, first movement, by Huber. Miss Lewis concluded the program with a group of English songs, which consisted of a well written number entitled "A Spirit Flower," by a former Chicagoan, Campbell-Tipton, now in Paris. The other selections were "A Fairy Song," by Schwindler, and "The Lamp of Love," by Salter.
14Carolyn Willard, pianist, is playing unusually late this season, having a Michigan recital as late as June. Prospects for her next season are unusually good. She will give her annual recital in the Fine Arts Theater early in the autumn, and will include on her program a number of interesting novelties. Miss Willard's class this year has been especially interesting in point of artistic achievement, and her pupils have been heard in a number of recitals. Luella Sweet appeared with success on the benefit program for the Convalescents' Home, April 17, and Clara Len has just returned from a successful five weeks' tour of the Middle West with Katherine Ridgway. Miss Willard has had so many requests for lessons from visiting pianists this summer that she has decided to teach an eight weeks' course, which she will conduct at her summer home, Union City, Mich., a small and picturesque town on the St. Joe River, about four hours from Chicago; the term will extend from June 30 to August 18. Miss Willard believes it would be desirable for students to have an open air summer course in an attractive country location, where living expenses are much less than in a large city.
16An annual program of compositions by members of Adolf Weidig's class is announced by the American Conservatory of Music to take place at Kimball Hall, on Saturday afternoon, May 31. The compositions to be presented by the students of Mr. Weidig will, in the majority of cases, be played by the composers. Clara J. Rubey will play her piano intermezzo and prelude; Clarence Loomis will play the accompaniments for Frank Parker, baritone, who will sing Mr. Loomis' negro songs; Robert Birch will supply the accompaniments to his romance for violin and piano, which will be played by Mabel Woodworth, violinist; Richard Canterbury will preside at the piano, accompanying Jennie F. W. Johnson, contralto, who will render four of Mr. Canterbury's songs. The sonata for piano and violins, in C major, by John Palmer, will be played by the composer and Miss Woodworth. Helena Stone Torgenson will play her own harp study for the left hand and three other harp composition from her own pen. Herbert E. Hyde's songs will be rendered by George Brewster, tenor, assisted by Virginia Paul, the two artists being teachers at the Mary Wood Chase School of Musical Arts. A harp and violin composition by Mrs. Torgenson will be played by the composer and Miss Woodworth and the program will be concluded with a fantasia for two pianos by Clarence Loomis, played by the composer and Kurt Wanieck, member of the faculty of the American Conservatory of Music.
18The Bush Temple Conservatory students of the school of expression will give two recitals under the direction of May Julia Riley at the Bush Temple Lyceum, Wednesday evening, May 28, and Thursday evening, May 29.
20The annual contest by advanced piano students of the American Conservatory for playing at the coming commencement concert took place last Saturday afternoon, at Kimball Hall. Eleven participated, performing eleven different concertos. The playing was of an unusual order of excellence, arousing much applause on the part of the large audience. Marie Kryl, fourteen years of age, gave a remarkable performance of the "Spanish Rhapsody," by Busoni-Liszt. The remaining two successful candidates were Frederick Persson, who played the fifth concerto by Saint-Saëns, and Birdie Mandelbaum, who distinguished herself by her performance of the Moszkowski concerto. Arthur Dunham, Eric De Lamarter and Edward Moore were the adjudicators.
22Clarence Eidam, pianist, will present Elizabeth Laymen in a recital in Auditorium Recital Hall, next Thursday evening, May 29.
24A dramatic performance by the department of expression of the American Conservatory, given under the direction of Frances Marie Donovan, took place last Saturday, May 24, at the Whitney Theater. The comedies given were "A Flower of Yeddo," "The Smith Mystery," "The Suffragette" and "A Night in Avignon." During the intermission Marie Hills Guhl, soprano, and Rosamond Wrage, violinist, supplied the musical entertainment.
