1BUFFALO, N. Y.
2BUFFALO, N. Y.—The series of musicales arranged by Arnold Cornelissen for presentation in his artistic summer home at South Wales came to a fitting climax in the one given by Edna Zahn, soprano, with Wendell Keeney at the piano; Jan Wolanek, violinist; Beth Bowman, pianist. Miss Zahn's beautiful voice and rare interpretative art made deep impression in her rendition of songs in Italian, French, German and English, and she was most generous in granting encores in response to insistent applause. In the Szymanowski sonata for violin and piano, Mr. Wolanek and Miss Bowman evidenced a perfect unity and brilliance of execution, repeated in the later group of violin solos with added encores. A former musicale featured Kurt Pauer as pianist in the Schubert Quintet with Messrs. Ball, Fisher, Manchester and Dautscher; Helen Douglass, mezzo-soprano, assisting. Marjorie Harwood Kemp, soprano, with Arnold Cornelissen, accompanist, and Patricia Boyle, piano soloist, were the participants in the third of the series, all of which have been most successful.
4Ethyl McMullen was in charge of the musical programs for the Convention of the International Apple Growers' Association at Hotel Statler and had as participants Idelle Patterson, soprano of New York, and, as local soloists, Edna Zahn, soprano; Isabelle Stranahan, mezzo-soprano; Richard Miller, tenor; Joseph Ball's Orchestra, a trio from the Buffalo Operatic Company comprising Bertha Drescher, Ruth Pettit and Arthur King Barnes.
6Mabelle Heyneman, manager of the Buffalo Operatic Company, presented an enjoyable program before the Greater Buffalo Advertising Club, the artists participating being Bertha Drescher, soprano; Ruth Pettit, contralto; Arthur King Barnes, baritone; Arthur Bolt and Malcolm Brock, tenors; William Thomas, bass, and Gustav Nelson, accompanist.
8Edna W. Hurd, supervisor of music at the Buffalo Normal School, has just returned from Plattsburg where she met with much success in conducting the supervisors' summer course at the Plattsburg State Normal School. She was presented in song recital before a large audience, giving a varied and taxing program, responding to insistent applause with a number of encores. She had the artistic support of Avery Rogers at the piano.
10One of the worthwhile programs recently heard at the Hotel Statler was the recital given by Conrad Rundell, tenor; Guida Fraser, soprano; Edwin Rundell, violinist, and Elmer Brost, accompanist.
12The first of the American Artist Club series of concerts was given, September 8, in the Hotel Buffalo, the participants being Elvira Ruppel, soprano; Marie McKenna, pianist and also Victor and Ethel Danna. L. H. M.
14GREAT ADVANCEMENT IN GROWTH OF DUNNING SYSTEM IN PAST YEAR
16Carre Louise Dunning recently completed her normal training class in New York, but has remained in the metropolis for several weeks busy on a new work she is about to introduce for which she has had urgent requests for several years. Although she holds but one normal class a year, Mrs. Dunning tries to visit different sections of the country where there are large numbers of Dunning teachers. En route to her winter home in Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Dunning will stop at Dallas, Texas, where she will confer with the new president of the National Association of Dunning Teachers. At the annual meeting held in New York on August 14 the new officers elected were: President, Myrtle McKay, Dallas, Texas; Vice-President, Catherine Ives, New York; Secretary, Grace Hamilton, Amarillo, Texas; Recording Secretary, Clarissa Herrick, Boston, Mass.; treasurer, Elise Boyce, New York; parliamentarian, Mrs. Annie Northway, Cleveland, Ohio.
18The past year has been one of great advancement and growth for the Dunning System, so much so that its advocates now have their own paper called the Dunning Messenger, consisting of twenty-eight pages devoted to matters of interest to Dunning teachers, who exchange ideas and experiences which are of inestimable value to readers. The Dunning work has grown to such an extent that its exponents hold their own conventions in different sections of the country. A most successful convention of Dunning teachers was held in Portland, Ore., where over two hundred Dunning teachers were present from the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. The convention embodied everything that a regulation convention could have, even to a ride up the Columbia River and a banquet.
