76MUSICAL COURIER
78Violet Sommer in Costume Recital
79The costume recital given at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music by Violet Sommer, soprano, and Margaret Spaulding of the Dramatic Department, attracted to the Concert Hall an audience of capacity proportion. The recital was given with a shallow stage which permitted effective use of suggestions of settings complementing and amplifying the idea of appropriate garb.
80For several years Miss Sommer has been a pupil of John A. Hoffman and in addition to the natural beauty of her voice, Miss Sommer's remarkable interpretative ability, evident musicianship, intelligence and sincerity have commanded attention. Her first group was a quintet of Gypsy songs by Liszt and Dvorak, including among other favorites Songs My Mother Taught Me. Miss Sommer appeared to advantage in these numbers, delighting with her lovely tones and phrasing. This group was followed by several Russian songs ingeniously connected to form a whole, done with feeling and appreciation of their artistic worth. Miss Sommer concluded the program with two numbers that revealed her familiarity with the field of opera, the aria Pace, Pace, from Verdi's La Forza del Destino, and the duet from the finale of Act 1 of Puccini's Madame Butterfly, in which she had the able assistance of Harry Nolte, tenor, whose voice blended beautifully with hers.
81The assistance of Elba Davies, accompanist, was of high order.
83Macbeth Wins St. Petersburg Again
84ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.—Returning to St. Petersburg after an absence of one season, Florence Macbeth, of the Chicago Opera, established herself very securely with the music lovers of the city by real artistry in her concert given in the Congregational Church before a large audience. Miss Macbeth rendered a particularly interesting program of which the technical high lights were Una Voce Poco Fa from Rossini's Barber of Seville and Je veux vivre from Gounod's Romeo et Juliet; also the popular Rimsky-Korsakov The Rose Has Charmed the Nightingale, and Schubert's Ave Maria. The encores appeared to be the feature of the evening and these amounted to almost as many in number as those listed on the program. George Roberts, composer-pianist, was the assisting artist and he, too, was the recipient of encores after an excellent interpretation of Chopin's Waltz.
86Ralph Thomas Pupils in Concert
87Ralph Thomas, concert artist and opera pedagogue, of Cincinnati, New York, Paris and Milan, is now conducting opera classes in Dayton, Ohio, a city known for its civic support of the advancement of worthwhile music. Every month Ralph Thomas presents free concerts of opera, featuring his advanced students. Dayton people have responded with so much enthusiasm that the National Cash Register Company has given Ralph Thomas the use of its auditorium for the April concert, a hall which will accommodate three thousand persons.
88Ralph Thomas is a graduate of the Cincinnati College of Music, studied two years in New York, two years at the Paris National Conservatory, and four years in Italy.
90Percy Rector Stephens Pupil in Recital
91The opening concert of the spring series of recitals at the Percy Rector Stephens Studio was given on March 21 by Kempton Searle, baritone. The beautiful recital hall of the Studio was filled with music lovers, artists and friends, all together making an auspicious beginning for the series. Mr. Searle sang a varied and, for a young artist, a very difficult program, including Old Italian songs, French, German, and English numbers, and Le Veau d'Or aria from Faust—the last named being among the best offerings of the evening—and revealed a voice of exceptional range and no little command of vocal technic.
93Heifetz on Tour
94Three consecutive sold-out performances—February 27, 28 and March 1—in Bombay, India, with scenes of unprecedented enthusiasm for that city, were the most recent experiences of Jascha Heifetz. After Bombay, Heifetz was scheduled to give concerts in Calcutta, Ceylon, Rangoon, Singapore, Manila and Australia, which is the last lap of his world tour before returning to this country in October.
