1Louise Loring Kept Busy
2Louise Loring, whose engagements are always of a distinctive type, appeared at the Women's University Club of New York on March 17 and on March 28 at the Englewood Woman's Club, Englewood, N. J., with the Letz Quartet and Margaret Nikoloric, pianist. On April 27 Miss Loring will sing at the Fitchburg Festival, Fitchburg, Mass., and at the North Shore Festival, Evanston, Ill., on May 23, where she will be assisted by the festival orchestra in a performance of Elijah. The singer will fill a group of Canadian engagements this month and immediately after Easter starts on a short tour of New York State. Early this summer she will appear in concert in England and Italy, and her management has already signed a contract for an appearance with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for October 24.
4Twilight Musicales of Milwaukee
5The Twilight Musicales of Milwaukee (Wis.), so well managed by Margaret Rice, closed on March 20, after ten consecutive seasons of success. In response to many requests from Milwaukee music lovers, this series will be given next season on Monday evenings instead of Sunday afternoons, under the name of the Fine Arts Course. It is planned to include in this not only musical events similar to those given in the past but also such other productions in the field of the allied arts as may be available. Attractions already engaged for next season are Edward Johnson, the Theater Guild Company of New York in Shaw's Arms and the Man, The Beggar's Opera by the English company which is coming to America for a brief tour after a four years' run at the Lyric Theater in London; Guy Maier, Lee Pattison and Arthur Shattuck in an ensemble program for three pianos. A fifth event will be announced later when definite dates may be given for all attractions. As heretofore it will be the aim to present artists and programs that will appeal to the most cultivated taste in the community and maintain the high standards that have distinguished the Musicales.
7Paul Althouse Again Scores
8When Paul Althouse recently appeared in Johnstown, Pa., he was again accorded a warm reception as is usually the case with this popular artist. The Johnstown Tribune said that "Paul Althouse, the great operatic tenor, took us up into the clouds in his first group of songs in French. In his aria, the tenor gave us some of the finest singing we have heard. Mr. Althouse gave us everything in vocal control in his group of songs. What joy in the free, unadulterated expression of the human voice." And the Johnstown Democrat added its bit of praise in the following: "Fine operatic style. The aria was a fine example of Mr. Althouse's abilities. It was exceptionally well sung. Mr. Althouse's songs were a delightful treat."
10Abby Morrison in Opera Soliloquies
11It was Mme. Pilar Morin, well known in theatrical circles, who taught Abby Morrison to sing and act the Opera Soliloquies which she has given with success in New York and the South. February 18 Miss Morrison was so well received in one of these programs at the Hotel Plaza in New York that she will give another one at the Mayfair Theater on May 3.

16Auer for Chicago Musical College
17The Chicago Musical College takes pride in having been able to secure again Prof. Leopold Auer, for the summer master school of 1927. A biography of the illustrious violinist and master teacher is unnecessary, but for those who do not know, it might be said again that it was for Prof. Auer that Tchaikovsky composed the great concerto in D for violin, and many other composers in Russia and other European countries paid him similar homage.
18The Chicago Musical College asks that patrons who intend to avail themselves of the rare opportunity to study with Prof. Auer be informed that this famous teacher will not instruct more than three pupils daily for four days a week. The number that will be able to take advantage of Prof. Auer's teaching is therefore strictly limited, and once his teaching time is filled to the extent of twelve lesson periods per week, it will be impossible to enlarge it.
19Those who will not have an opportunity to join his private class will be permitted to be present at his classes as auditors. This arrangement will permit a limited number of advanced violinists and teachers to hear the renowned violinist's methods of teaching—an opportunity of inestimable worth—but it will not allow any individual attention to be given them by Prof. Auer or that they interrupt lessons by asking questions. Personal communication during each session will be permitted only to those students taking lessons. However, Mr. Auer will be glad to answer questions at the close of each session of teaching.
20Prof. Auer will give two fellowships, each comprising one personal lesson weekly. These fellowships will be awarded for the summer session at the Chicago Musical College. Those desirous of obtaining full details concerning Prof. Auer's free fellowships are advised to communicate with the secretary of the Chicago Musical College at 70 East Van Buren Street, Chicago.
22Annie Louise David in Benefit Recital
23Annie Louise David, harpist, appeared on the program recently given at the Civic Repertory Theater for the benefit of the building fund of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. Miss David played a number in manuscript specially written for her by Kostelmatz and entitled Lake Louise. Her second group included two numbers by Debussy and one by Ravel. The other artists on the program were Charlotte Lund, Samuel Ljungvist and N. Val Pavey.
24Miss David is now being booked for a tour of Florida and Cuba for next season in joint recital with Benar Barzelay, violinist. The harpist will go to Europe this spring, returning in time for her annual concerts in California under the management of Alice Seckels.
26Zoe Cheshire Forms New Quartet
27Zoe Cheshire, harpist and teacher, has formed a new trio for harp, violin and voice. The formation of this new organization has been mainly for the purpose of giving concerts in hospitals. The trio, which has as its personnel Zoe Cheshire, harp; Angelyne Nelson, soprano, and Fernando Bignon, violinist, gave a concert at the New York Hospital on March 26.
29Telva's Style and Understanding Praised
30After Marion Telva, of the Metropolitan Opera, sang the Bach St. John's Passion with the Society of the Friends of Music at Town Hall on March 6, Olga Samroff said that the singer "showed excellent style and understanding in fitting into the general scheme." And the Herald Tribune found that Miss Telva "sang very expressively, with good quality of tone, in the sustained parts of Es ist Vollbracht."
