43Seldom have better artists been heard in Washington than Marica Palesti. She has a most resonant voice of ample volume, so ample in fact that it quite overflowed the auditorium. Perfectly at home in the most difficult operatic selections, some of her shorter numbers were artistically unusual with their tenderness and winsomeness.

62Amy Baker, recitationist, recently gave a recital in the music room of the Biltmore, which attracted a large audience. Miss Baker presented her sketches with delightful surety and artistic effect and scored heavily with her hearers. She was assisted by Wesley Howard, tenor, with Flora MacDonald Wills at the piano.
64Della Baker recently was soloist at a concert given by the K. of C. Choral Society in Rochester, N. Y., after which Richard Copley, who books Miss Baker, received the following telegram: "Della Baker, soloist with the K. of C. Choral Society, met with marvellous success. Many thanks to you." (Signed) M. D. Kavanagh, secretary." Miss Baker sang with the Mendelssohn Club of Albany, N. Y., on May 19.
66Helen Bock, pianist, will spend for Europe recently on the S. S. Republic. She will go to Paris for some weeks to study new French music, and later will be heard at a number of concerts in Belgium, Holland and Germany. Miss Bock will not return to America before October, when she will start her concert season here.
68Leo Cherniavsky, violinist of the Cherniavsky Trio, accompanied by his bride, who was formerly Mrs. Gertrude Eving of Vancouver, B. C., sailed from Montreal, May 7, to spend the summer in England. In October and November the Cherniavskys will play a series of the International Celebrity Concerts throughout that country, opening their season in England with a concert in Albert Hall, London.
70"Julia Claussen sang with her accustomed authority and artistry. She depicted the Egyptian Princess vividly, sang the dramatic passages especially well, reaching the heights of her work in the last act. We always consider it a privilege to hear Claussen's interpretations." This is the verdict of the music critic of the Atlanta Constitution, after the mezzo's successful impersonation of Amneris in Aida recently at Atlanta, Ga.
72Mary Craig, soprano, has signed a contract with Haensel & Jones, covering her various musical activities in the United States and other lands. Miss Craig was born in Macon, Ga. She counts among her forebears Alexander Hamilton and the Morrises, prominent in Revolutionary days, and her family has been intimately associated with the history of Macon ever since the time that city was known as Fort Hawkins.
74Edna Bishop Daniel's vocal theory classes in Washington, D. C., will not disband for the summer, although the vocal theory studies will be laid aside until October. In the meantime the class is enjoying itself in a profitable manner studying harmonized songs. This improves the musicianship of the students, because numbers are so selected that even the sopranos are taught to sing an under-part and the low voices the air. A great deal of concerted music also will be sung during the summer. In October the study of vocal theory will be resumed, which will be combined with choral practice every Thursday evening.
76Ruth Dale, soprano, has been adding laurels to the success achieved at her Aeolian Hall debut last spring. Recently, she appeared before the Belleville Woman's Club, on President's Day, and at the thirty-fifth anniversary of the D. A. R. in Newark. May 22 she will give four of her charming costume groups at the annual luncheon of the New York Madrigal Club.
78Lillian Gustafson was the soprano soloist at the concluding concert of the St. Louis Apollo Club's thirty-second season. After referring to Miss Gustafson as an extremely attractive soloist, the music editor of the St. Louis Star stated: "Her voice is a fresh and flexible young soprano of charming quality and she sings with taste and style. An agreeable personality and stage presence augment her value as a recitalist. Her most effective offering was the difficult Norwegian Echo Song, in which she showed sound technic as well as good interpretive power." Richard Spamer observed in the St. Louis Daily Globe-Democrat: "This chic little song-bird has a canary trill, a flute-like tone, an ample register and considerably more, to-wit, a singularly resonant vocal equipment of a timbre full enough to make some listeners believe that her voice, here and there, is being sustained by distant instrumental means."
80Josephine Hofer, vice-president of the Song Lovers' Society, organized for the purpose of encouraging young singers, and bringing them before the public. Massimo Etzi is founder and president. Mme. Hofer will sing at the May concert.
82Grace Wood Jess, singer of folk-songs, recently gave a recital in Dallas, Texas, at the residence of David W. Guion. American composer, at which she featured a number of his arrangements of Negro spirituals, with Mr. Guion at the piano. Following this recital, she wrote to his publishers, M. Witmark & Sons: "I sing no songs that give greater joy to my audiences than these spirituals of David Guion's arranging. It was a great pleasure to meet him, too, and to have him accompany his songs for me." Among his arrangements of the better-known spirituals are such as Some o' These Days, My Little Soul's a Gwine a-Shine, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Satan's a Liar an' a Conjur Too, and Nobody Knows de Trouble I Sees.
84Dr. Jules Jordan, composer and singing teacher of Providence, R. I., left for Nashville, Tenn., to attend the performance in that city of his musical comedy, Rip Van Winkle, which is being given by the Nashville Opera Company, under the direction of D. R. Gebhart. This opera of Mr. Jordan's was at one time in the repertory of the famous Bostonians.
86Adam Kuryllo, violinist, played two solos at a benefit concert on May 2 at St. John's Church, Passaic. Mr. Kuryllo, who is a Polish artist of note, played a Chaconne by Bach for violin alone and Schubert's Ave Maria.
88May Korb, soprano, essayed the role of Gretel in a performance of Hansel and Gretel by the San Carlo Grand Opera Company in Newark, N. J., on May 8. March 28 she was soloist at the final concert of the winter series of Municipal Concerts in Portland, Me. Her husband, Charles R. Cronham, is municipal organist of Portland. Mr. Cronham has been engaged to make records for the Austin Organ Company, and is one of the soloists secured to give recitals at the Sesqui-Centennial Celebration in Philadelphia. May 15 Miss Korb was scheduled to leave for Lake Placid, where she will remain for one month.
90George Harold Miller, bass-baritone and teacher of voice, announces that he has just signed a contract with the Park Avenue Church as soloist of the choir. Mr. Miller has also taught voice production in the Washington, D. C., College of Music and was the director of the Choral Art Society of that city.
92Marjorie Moyer, an artist pupil of Clarice Balis, was heard over WTAM recently, and the next day she was eulogized by the radio critic of the Cleveland News as follows: "Marjorie Moyer is a pianist who has been heard on a number of local programs and who has never failed to please us. Her recital last night was even better than her preceding efforts, and is worthy of a generous amount of applause. Miss Moyer is to be complimented on her excellent technic and also on her careful selection of music suitable to radio presentation." When Howard Hanson conducted his Lux Aeterna at a Cleveland Symphony concert, he heard Miss Moyer play and was favorably impressed by her work. He is said to have especially praised her lovely tones and fluent technic, and told her that by next season she would be ready for orchestral performances.
94Marie Morrisey's introduction to Cincinnati as soloist with the Orpheus Club of that city was a public demonstration of enthusiasm. In addition to repeated curtain calls, she was forced to give six encores. Her singing of MacFadyen's Cradle Song was particularly appreciated. This month will see the release of two new Brunswick records by Miss Morrisey—Sweetest Story Ever Told, and Dreams.
96William Murdoch, English pianist, has returned to London from his tour of the principal cities of Holland, and where, owing to his success, he will return in the fall for a second tour. He will also return next season for a limited tour of the United States and Canada, beginning with a recital at Wellesley College.
98McClurg Miller will hold summer vocal classes in Uniontown, Pa., for a period of six weeks, beginning June 28. These lessons will include voice placement and coaching in French and Italian repertory. Mr. Miller has acted as assistant teacher to Alfredo Martino in several of that pedagogue's summer classes in New York City.
100Homer Mowe presented several of his artist pupils in recital on April 24. Bella Goldberger, possessor of a fine soprano voice, gave interesting selections. Eleanor Kenyon, soprano soloist at the Church of St. Mary-of-the-Isle at Long Branch, also contributed several songs; her clear high tones were admired. One of the most interesting performances of the evening was by John Barlow, hasso, whose well trained resonant voice gave fine expression to a number of songs. Claire Pfeiffer, also a soprano, whose voice has a wide range, gave pleasure in her group. Lillian Gillis did
