3Pilar-Morin Entertains for Mr. and Mrs. Volpe
4Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Volpe were the guests of honor at a reception given by Mme. Pilar-Morin at her Studio of the Theater in New York on Sunday afternoon, September 26. Following an introductory speech by the hostess in which she paid fine tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Volpe, a delightful program was given by artists who have studied with Mme. Pilar-Morin. Olive Roxane did some fine character work in The Three Graces, after which George Brandt, tenor of the Manhattan Opera Company, and Ethel Fox, soprano, were excellent both historically and vocally in an excerpt from Manon Lescaut, sung and acted in costume. Marguerite Hawes' rendition of Tomorrow at Ten was a decided contrast to the operatic number, and this young actress quite charmed her audience. Mme. Pilar-Morin herself was given an ovation for her interpretation of Adam and Eve, given in French dialect. The program came to a close with Abby Putnam Morrison appearing in the second act of Thais. She appeared in costume and created such an excellent impression, both for her dramatic acting and for her singing, that she was called upon for an encore. Martha Thompson furnished musically accompaniments for the operatic excerpts. At the conclusion of the program Mr. Volpe made a few remarks expressing great admiration for Mme. Pilar-Morin and commenting on the keen enjoyment which the program had given him.
6Among the large gathering of distinguished guests were Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bernstein, Constance Bernstein, Aaron Baron, Mr. and Mrs. George Bernard, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Crispano, H. Doen, Mrs. Julian Edwards, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Friedman, Genia Fonariova, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Fehr, Billy Guard, Dr. Leopold Glushak, Maria Grever, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Goldsmith, Mr. and Mrs. Michel Gobert, Edwin Hughes, Sol Hurok, Mrs. Hawes, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Jacobs, Fred Leder, Henrietta Michelson, Mrs. Frederick Nathan, Mr. and Mrs. Berthold Neuer, Minna Neuer, Mme. Pongony, Colonel Ricker, Max and Margarita Selinsky, Marguerite Sylva, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Rogers Travis, Mr. and Mrs. George Wise, Frank Wenker, Mana-Zucca, Miss Zaranova and many others.

11Eddy Brown Marries
12Eddy Brown, violinist, was married on September 21 at Riverside, Calif., to Beth Lydy, said to be an opera singer. This is Mr. Brown's second marriage; the first took place in 1921 when he and Mme. Halma Bruznova, a Polish actress, were married at Greenwich, Conn.
14Reiner Back in America
15Fritz Reiner, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, returned from South America where he has been conducting German opera at the Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires, arriving here September 26 on the Royal Mail liner, Ohio, having come by the way of Paris. Mr. Reiner said that he hoped soon to become a citizen of the United States.
17Ganz Returning Soon
18Rudolph Ganz, conductor of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, who has spent the summer at his old home, Territet, Switzerland, expects to sail with Mrs. Ganz on the La France, October 6, and is due in New York October 13. Mr. and Mrs. Ganz have toured Europe this summer in their American automobile. His season's programs will contain old and new compositions. "I have been able to read a great deal and get acquainted with a lot of new music," he wrote, "but alas! for the melody, the outpour of the soul, I have to go back to our masters, the recent ones and the old ones. The music of today is mostly rhythmical, it is for the legs, as they say. But our inner selves are longing for something more."
20Reddick Made Assistant Chorusmaster
