1Lillian Dove Busy with New Songs.
3Busy from morning until night, Lillian Dove, the well known soprano who has been heard on so many occasions to the delight of large and enthusiastic audiences, is working hard to add still more new songs to her already ample repertoire.
5Mrs. Dove, who, it will be remembered, scored a brilliant success not long ago at a concert in Rahway, N. J., an account of which appeared in these columns at the time, is coaching with Byford Ryan, the well known New York teacher of voice, in an effort to prepare even more thoroughly her long list of songs which she intends using at her remaining concerts this season.
7It is the modern concert song that Mrs. Dove likes best and it can truly be said that this type is well suited to her soprano voice. She is a capable singer and not only is the possessor of a pleasing style and remarkable stage presence, but she also has a magnetism which draws her hearers to her from the very start.
9Much is to be expected from Mrs. Dove this winter. Already she has become a necessary factor in many annual church musicales, and as a concert singer is much in demand. Her appearances at musicales which are being arranged by numerous suburban churches promise to occupy much of her time between practice and concert engagements.
11Seagle Appreciated.
13That Oscar Seagle is having continued success during his Western tour is shown by the following letter upon which comment is unnecessary:
15KANSAS STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS
16Emporia, Kan. November 22, 1913.
18Oscar Seagle, Chattanooga, Tenn.:
19My Dear Mr. Seagle—I am enclosing two copies of the comment concerning your recital here last Tuesday evening. The concert was a grand success and the natives are still talking about you and Mr. Nat. The director of one of the "Schools of Music" here in town called on us the morning after the recital and said that your recital "was the best ever given in Emporia." . . .
21With the heartiest greetings and best wishes, I am,
22Very sincerely,
23(Signed) CARL LINDEGREN.
25Dr. William C. Carl Plays at Bagby Musical.
27Dr. William C. Carl, the celebrated organist, took part in an interesting program presented at the 25th Bagby Morning Musicales given at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York, on Monday morning, December 1. Dr. Carl accompanied Fritz Kreisler, the famous violinist, on the organ, in Handel's "Largo"; this was one of the most interesting numbers on the program.

31Sembrich's New Home.
33Alma Gluck, one of the most admired of America's operatic and concert sopranos, is due to arrive from Europe this week. She has been visiting Mme. Sembrich at the latter's new home in Nice, and during her stay there Mme. Sembrich has taken great delight in coaching the famous soprano in the concert repertoire in which he is to be heard this season.
35Mme. Sembrich's beautiful villa is one which would tempt most people to remain at home; however the great diva has been prevailed upon to make a short European tour this winter, when she will fill a few concert engagements in the larger European cities, although she had previously intended not to concertize at all this season.
37The Wolfsohn Bureau, of New York, which is managing Mme. Gluck's tour, reports that her time is practically filled from now until June.
39Mehan Studio Recitals.
41John Dennis Mehan and Mrs. Mehan will continue their well known studio recitals in Carnegie Hall, New York, during the season, as in former years, when a large company of people interested in music and associated arts invariably filled the studios. Many of those who will be heard, beginning in January are well known opera, concert, oratorio and church singers, such as Mary Jordan, John Barnes Wells, Edwin Orlo Bangs, etc.
43The list of those to appear, as compiled to date, is as follows: Sopranos—May Evans Bryant, Helene Denice, Isabel Irving, Cora Winston. Contraltos—Mary Jordan, Mary Kendal, Helen Latham, Mary Browne, Orpha Howel. Tenors—John Barnes Wells, Edwin Orlo Bangs, Thomas Phillips, Joseph Mannerling. Basses and Baritones—John Meyers, Thomas Calder, Alvin Gillett and Robert Malowney.
