1GOTHAM GOSSIP
3Greater New York Musical and Dramatic Club
4Elizabeth G. Black, founder and president of the Greater New York Musical and Dramatic Club, offered much to interest her audience at the November 18 gathering held at the Ampico Studios. Charles Tamme presented the Choral of the Greenwich Village Historical Society in a Stephen Foster Night. Piano and vocal solos, a male quartet and other items made up an interesting program, in which the participants were Irene Archer, Rose Helen Stuhlman, C. Bryce Little, and the splendid male quartet. Mrs. Black's governing idea in this club is that of wider education.
6KRIENS' EDUCATIONAL AND COMMUNITY WORK
7Christian Kriens, founder and conductor of the Kriens Symphony Club (New York), 125 men and women, also conducts orchestral societies in Morristown and Plainfield New Jersey. The Morristown Orchestral Society gave concerts on November 25 and December 2, with Genevieve McKenna, soprano, as soloist. The Plainfield Symphony Society's December 7 concert had Edgar Schenkman as violin soloist. Works by Rossini, Meyerbeer and Kriens were performed in Morristown; Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Tellam, Suedessi and Tchaikowsky were on the Plainfield program.
9McMICHAEL RECITAL AT WURLITZER AUDITORIUM
10Myrtle Louise McMichael, who has studied with Salvatore Avitabile, was the recital giver at the December 6 Wurlitzer Auditorium affair. She sang songs by European and American composers, winning success through her enjoyable voice and personality.
12MUSIC STUDENTS LEAGUE RECITAL
13The December 8 recital, Washington Irving High School auditorium, brought vocal and instrumental numbers, performed by Edna Frandini, soprano; Edward Albano, baritone; Louis Sugarman, pianist, and Samuel Polonsky, violinist, with an address by president J. Fletcher Shera. The next affairs occur December 27 in the same hall, and January 5 at Washington Irving High School. The League has as its praiseworthy object the assisting of young music students to appear in public, and to enjoy good wholesome musical fellowship.
15THE F. A. M. HEARS ROBESON AND LANE
16The Fraternal Association of Musicians of New York held its monthly meeting at studio 810, Carnegie Hall, presenting a varied program. Mabel L. Robeson, soprano, sang songs by Secchi, Rasbach, Gardner, Tirindelli, Dunn, Ganz; also The Rose and You, composed by her teacher and accompanist, Edwin Walker. She was compelled to respond to several encores, Mr. Walker sharing honors.
17Lewis Lane, a young artist-pupil of Edwin Hughes, surprised the audience with a virile rendition of piano numbers embracing every conceivable type of composition, including Chopin, Mendelssohn-Liszt, MacDowell, Lund, Huss and Schumann-Godowsky. He was the recipient of a double encore.
18A rising vote of thanks was accorded the artists, as well as Mrs. E. Bronx Southwick, chairman of program.
20FLORENCE HOLLAND AND LOIS BEACH RECITAL
21Elizabeth Kelso Patterson's pupils, the Misses Holland and Beach, shared in the November 18 recital at this teacher's residence-studio. The soprano sang artistically, repeating La Folletta, as well as two songs by Clara Edwards. Miss Beach was in good voice being heard at her best in Ungeduld (Schubert); Harry Horsfall was at the piano.
23MARGUERITE POTTER'S OPERALOGUES
24Marguerite Potter gave two operalogues within a week in the Board of Education Lecture Course—December 7, Faust, at Pilgrim Hall, and December 10, Martha, at P. S. 165. These were illustrated by stereopticon views and arias on the Victrola.
26VRIONIDES PRESENTS NEW ORATORIO
27November 29. The Holy Trinity, a new oratorio by Christian Vrionides, was performed at Holy Trinity Chapel, New York. The choir, consisting of eighteen Greeks and Russians, was directed by the composer, and the outstanding impression was that the work had decided merit.

35Kwast-Hodapp in Demand Throughout Europe
36Mme. Frieda Kwast-Hodapp, noted German pianist, is having one of the busiest seasons of her career, and certainly one of the busiest among contemporary artists. She began it with two London recitals on September 24 and October 2, the success of which has been recorded in these columns. Appearances in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, The Hague and other Dutch towns followed, her first appearance October 24 at the Concertgebouw being in the nature of a sensation. She played there a second time on November 4, followed by three other reappearances in Holland.
37Mme. Kwast-Hodapp was the soloist at a Berlin Philharmonic concert under Furtwangler on October 29, and, after filling engagements in German cities and in Zürich with the Tonhalle Orchestra in November, she proceeded on a Scandinavian tour, which began in Stockholm on November 26. Then, after two more Berlin appearances, she goes south to Italy. Some of her dates after the new year include the following: January 7, Fiume; 10 and 12, Milan; 16, Rome; 18, Genoa; 26 Bremen; 30, Brussels; February 3, Düsseldorf; 8, Munich, 16, Berlin; 18, Dortmund; 20, Gelsenkirchen; 22, Elberfeld; 28, Rotterdam; March 3, Amsterdam; 5, The Hague; 12, Paris; 18, Berlin; 22, Prague.
