79Doris Madden's New York Success
80Steinway Hall held an audience of good size which was aroused to warm applause when Doris Madden, Australian pianist, played there for the first time on April 6. Confirming the excellent impression she made on public and critics alike, sentences from three daily papers are here quoted: "A sincere and capable artist… much applauded," said the American. "It afforded genuine pleasure to hear her reading of the long and difficult Brahms variations and fugue," and "carefully wrought phrases, the notes clear and correct, the whole composition well executed, with musical taste," said the Sun. "Invoked in masterful fashion the shades of Beethoven, Brahms, Scriabin and Debussy… she has the confidence of a sure and sometimes brilliant technic, fingers flexible, strong and firm, and a musicianly sense of proportion, plus poetic imagination; which is to say she plays with the skill and fire and power which many of our established artists might envy. Her reception was extremely cordial," commented the Herald-Tribune.

84Cornish School Busy
85Well into the second half of the school year, the activities of the Cornish School, Seattle, seem to increase rather than diminish. Among recent special events of the school were a program devoted entirely to the songs of Schubert, and sung by Gladys Hershberger, Amalia Mertz, Elda Lee Rudebeck, Loren McHenry, Marvin Gaukel, Edna Ward, Bertha Compton, with Rachel Stickelman and Ivan Knox at the piano, all pupils of the school, which took place on March 30; a recital by students of Peter Meremblum, April 2, in which Graham French, Elizabeth Campbell, Seraphina Roats, Dorothy Russell, Stanley Spiegelman, Howard Liner, Hazel Combs, Fern Shackelford, Lenore Ward, Henry DeGoojer and Alice Peterson took part; and the violin and ensemble recital, on April 7, which was played by the following students of Peter Meremblum: Henry DeGoojer, Catherine Lashley, Elizabeth Choate, Edith Kendall, Margaret Lang, Alexina Whisnant, Emma Reynolds, Graham French, Lenore Ward and Seraphina Roats. On April 10, elementary students from the department of piano, violin and theater gave a recital.
87One of the most important events of the year was the presentation of Twelfth Night by the Cornish School of the Theater, three performances being given, March 26 and 27. The principal roles were taken by Marion Clayton, Albert Lovejoy, William Marceau and Clifford Dobson, and the play, given under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Burton W. James, was a pronounced success.
89Ralph Angell Filling Busy Season
90Ralph Angell, accompanist, is continuing his busy season until late in the spring. His two most recent engagements have been with Francis Macmillen, violinist, in recital, April 6, at the Panhandle Music Festival, held annually in Amarillo, Texas, and a recital, April 9, at the State University of Arkansas.
92As usual, Mr. Angell's playing brought forth high compliments. The Amarillo Daily News said in part: "As a background for his accomplishments last night, he had Ralph Angell of New York, his accompanist, who played an unusual part in the complete winning over of those present." The Evening Herald of Bradenton, Fla., in its issue of March 13, was of the opinion that "Ralph Angell, Mme. Melius' accompanist, played with fine understanding and displayed a technic that is not often seen. Many of the accompaniments were extremely difficult and complicated, and called for an unusual amount of co-ordination between ear and eye. Mr. Angell interprets his fine and delicate shades of meaning in his accompaniments as understandingly and truly as he does its more obvious ones." The Tri-City Morning News, also at Bradenton, commented: "Throughout its performance, Ralph Angell, at the piano, played magnificent accompaniments."
94Hart House String Quartet's Final Toronto Concert
95The fifth and final concert offered by the Hart House String Quartet in Toronto for the present season was held at the Hart House Theater on March 29. This quartet occupies a unique position, being subsidized by the city of Toronto. The personnel consists of Geza de Kresz, first violin; Harry Adaskin, second violin; Milton Blackstone, viola, and Boris Hambourg, cellist. They have just returned from a tour of Canada including over five thousand miles. It is officially stated that of the twenty concerts given nineteen of them were to capacity audiences and return dates immediately arranged for. Almost invariably the cities visited made it the biggest musical event of the present season. The Canadian press gave columns of space to the artistry of the quartet and in many cases the organization was referred to editorially. For instance, the Calgary Albertan wrote of them, "the most important musical event of the year in Calgary." The Hart House Quartet is indeed a national institution. All of this was made possible through Vincent Massey and the overwhelming support of the musicians and those prominent in other fields of endeavor.
97THE moods and fancies of youth find sympathetic understanding in the sensitive mechanism of the Steinway. In the early years of musical effort, attainment seems so difficult and so far away. It is then there is vital need of just the encouragement which the Steinway never fails to give.
99Its superior worth is accepted throughout the world without question. Yet the Steinway's cost is moderate, and terms are made convenient.
