11HANS MERX RETURNS FROM EUROPE
12Hans Merx, baritone, has returned on the S. S. Majestic, and plans a series of Lieder recitals at Steinway Hall, singing prominent works by Schumann, Strauss, and Hugo Wolf. His Schubert recitals last year were artistic events.
14EUGENIO DI PIRANI, PIANIST, COMPOSER, ATHLETE
15Mr. Di Pirani calls attention to the early demise of Mozart, Bizet, Chopin and Bellini, who all died under their fortieth year. "What an irreparable loss to art; how much more could they have done," says Mr. Pirani, who himself is a splendid example of physical manhood. He does not limit his daily practice to scales and arpeggios, but pursues various sports and exercises, all of which impart energy and buoyancy to the mind and to the creative power. "Artistic and scientific eminence can come only from a healthy and vigorous body," says he.
17MILDRED E. EMERSON'S ENGAGEMENTS
18Miss Emerson sang on six consecutive Sundays at Greenwood Baptist Church, Brooklyn, and was special soloist, December 19, at Duryea Presbyterian Church, Charles B. Ford, organist. Having a repertory of the principal sacred solos, oratorios and cantatas, Miss Emerson is a useful singer.

23HOWARD WELLS' PROFESSIONAL PUPIL HEARD
24A promising young pianist is Rosalie Saalfeldt, artist-pupil of Howard Wells, who was heard in the Glazounov Sonata at Kimball Hall, December 12. She rendered the number with fine style, revealing her splendid technic to particular advantage in the difficult number and displaying the fine training received at the hands of her efficient mentor.
26Harold Henry's Interesting Program
27Harold Henry, at his piano recital in Aeolian Hall on January 20, will offer among other compositions Schumann's Scenes from Childhood, several compositions by Debussy, A Cheyenne Tribal Melody entitled War Dance, arranged by Preyer, and others by Scarlatti, Brahms, two compositions from his own pen, etc.
29Christmas Program at Mark Strand
30An especially elaborate program was presented at the Mark Strand Theater last week, with the Christmas holiday season as the motif. Following a short prelude by the orchestra came the Mark Strand Topical Review, with its many interesting news items of the day. The Frolic arranged by Joseph Plunkett was very pretentious, there being six numbers with unusually brilliant settings, colorful costumes and beautiful lighting effects. Mr. Plunkett chose as his theme the story of a cab horse's Christmas, and judging by the ingenuity shown in the presentation of the various numbers the old nag had a wonderful time. Those taking part in the Frolic were George Ali, the Mark Strand Male Quartet, Pauline Miller, the ballet corps, Charles Bennington and others. This attraction proved so successful that it has been held over for a second week. The feature picture was Twinkletoes, starring Colleen Moore. The program was concluded with an organ solo.
