3CHICAGO SYMPHONY CONCERT
4CHICAGO.—Because of Christmas falling on Saturday this year, the customary Saturday evening concert of December 25 was postponed to December 27. The program, containing the Pastorale from Bach's Christmas Oratorio, The Ballet Suite from Rimsky-Korsakov's Christmas Eve, Richard Strauss' tone poem, Don Juan, and the Glazounoff Scenes de Ballet, received admirable interpretation and thereby delighted the patrons.
6The soloist was the young Chicago pianist, Rae Bernstein, whose vehicle was the B flat major concerto by Bartokiewicz. This difficult number served well to display Miss Bernstein's fine pianistic qualifications, and through her admirable rendition of it she gained the enthusiastic approval of the audience. She was compelled to bow acknowledgement time after time. For three years Miss Bernstein has studied with Glenn Dillard Gunn, upon whom she reflected considerable credit. The young pianist has much to recommend her to the public and she should go far in her art.

84stone, December 28. Mme. Landowska's art is unique and her facile technic and charm of manner make the ancient harpsichord interesting and most enjoyable. We heard her play the Bach concerto in Gusto Italiano most effectively and the listeners liked her immensely.
86Edward Johnson can always be depended upon to give entire satisfaction and on this occasion he lived up to his reputation and added many admirers to the host he counts in Chicago since his days with the Chicago Opera. He sang beautifully—particularly the Recitative and Air, Colpito qui m'avete from Andre Chenier, in which he swept all before him.
88CHICAGO SYMPHONY'S TUESDAY PROGRAM
89Another of the five concerts which the Chicago Symphony Orchestra had scheduled for the week of December 27, was given on December 28. This new Tuesday afternoon series is proving quite as popular as the regular Friday-Saturday concerts, and large audiences greet each program most enthusiastically. The Brahms Symphony in D major, the Tchaikowsky Nut Cracker Suite, an excerpt from the Messiah, and The Dance of the Angels from Wolf-Ferrari's New Life, beautifully played, formed an afternoon of real enjoyment.
91TIPICA ORCHESTRA OF MEXICO AGAIN
92For the third time within a month, the Tipica Orchestra of Mexico invaded Orchestra Hall and gave another of its highly colorful and entertaining concerts. Again the listeners were loud in their applause and encores became too numerous to count.
94SWEDISH CHORAL SOCIETY SINGS
95After listening to the Swedish Choral Club Sing the Messiah at Orchestra Hall, December 29, one is thoroughly convinced that Conductor Edgar Nelson is a stickler for quality rather than quantity. Not that this choral club is not large enough, but ear-splitting singing is not its aim. Rather they prefer suavity of tone and beautiful shadings, and thus set forth singing of lovely quality, full of vitality and youthful enthusiasm, proving Edgar Nelson a choral conductor par excellence. It was a fine concert, of which the Swedish Choral Club and its able conductor may well feel proud.
97BUSH CONSERVATORY NOTES
98During the Christmas holidays, Kenneth M. Bradley, former president of Bush Conservatory, returned to Chicago to visit the school and was warmly welcomed by teachers and students.
100Edgar Nelson addressed the Choir Directors' Guild of America at its meeting at the Fine Arts Building, December 27.

174Yeatman Griffith Artists Score Abroad
175Lavinia Darve, lyric soprano, has met with splendid success abroad in grand opera this past season. Miss Darve has sung the title roles of Thais, Manon, and Tosca at the Opera Comique, Paris, receiving instantaneous recognition. She has also had many appearances in Germany, Austria, and Italy. Miss Darve has studied and coached several seasons with Yeatman Griffith.
177Strella Wilson, soprano of the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company, who returned to Melbourne, Australia, this past year to join that organization, has been adding to her laurels by winning noteworthy success as Princess Ida in the opera of that name. Miss Wilson recently received the unanimous praise of the press both for her beautiful singing and fine histrionic powers. She studied and coached last season with Yeatman Griffith in his New York studios.
179Word comes from London of the continued outstanding success of Edith Day, who is singing the principal role in the Rose Marie Company which in February begins its third season and has proved one of the biggest hits London has ever had. Edith Day made her debut in musical comedy from the Yeatman Griffith New York studio some seasons ago.
181St. Louis Enthusiastic Over Milan Lusk
182A capacity audience of over a thousand people greeted Milan Lusk, violinist, when he appeared as soloist on December 1, with the Choral Club in St. Louis (Mo.). The following letter from the director of the club was received by Mr. Lusk's manager: "The concert of our Choral Club with Milan Lusk as soloist proved to be a success. I am pleased to state that Lusk's playing was well received and they compelled him to play several encores, thereby adding considerably to the big success of the evening. (Signed) Hugo Anschuetz."
184The St. Louis Post commented as follows: "Lusk has a tone of bewitching loveliness . . . soulful interpretation . . . He is an artist in the full sense of the word."
