7CHARLES MARTIN LOEFFLER VISITS CURTIS INSTITUTE. one of two readings
8The distinction of being instructed by a composer in the exact method necessary to produce the effects he intended, fell to the lot of four students at the Curtis Institute of Music who are members of one of numerous classes in ensemble instructed by Louis Bailly, professor of viola, at the school. On the occasion when one of Mr. Loeffler's compositions was played by the Philadelphia Orchestra he visited Mr. Bailly at the Curtis Institute of Music. It happened that on that afternoon a rehearsal was scheduled of a composition by Mr. Loeffler, Music for Four Stringed Instruments. He went therefore to Mr. Bailly's apartment on Rittenhouse Square to listen and to instruct. The photograph shows (standing in the rear, from left to right) Louis Bailly, C. M. Loeffler and Paul Ferguson. Seated, from left to right, are John Richardson, Judith Poska and David Freed. one of two readings

15EDGAR SCHOFIELD, one of two readings
16who, in addition to his duties as baritone soloist at the First Presbyterian Church, New York, has been directing the choir for the past three months owing to the illness of Dr. William C. Carl. On Palm Sunday, immediately after directing a performance of Stainer's Crucifixion, and also singing the principal baritone parts, Mr. Schofield left by the midnight train for Pittsburgh, where he sang the following morning at eleven o'clock with the Century Club. He left that same night for Plainfield, N. J., where he appeared under the auspices of the Concert Society. one of two readings
18The photograph reproduced here, which should prove of interest to many old timers, was presented to the MUSICAL COURIER by Oscar Seagle, De Reszke's one-time pupil and, for a few years prior to the great tenor's death, his associate in the De-Reszke-Seagle School at Nice. Mr. Seagle opens his own colony at Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks on May 15. The season promises to be a particularly brilliant one. The new roads around the Schroon district will attract many people to that district. The theater on the lake pier will be finished this spring and a number of entertainments will be given there. Early in August a music festival will be presented. In this historic photograph of the de Reszke brothers and friends taken at Mont Dore, Jean's favorite French watering place in the Auvergne in 1906, are pictured the following: (Sitting, from left to right) Mme. de Lys, F. Mario Guardabassi (pupil of Jean), Mme. Jean de Reszke, Jean de Reszke, Mme. Adelina Patti, Amherst Webber (coach for Jean's pupils); (standing) Baron Cederstrom (husband of Patti), young Jean de Reszke (afterwards killed in the war) and Edouard de Reszke. one of two readings
20IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO.
22NELSON SNOW AND CHARLES COLUMBUS.
23Among the talented new students at the Esperanza Garrigue Studios this season are two baritones, Nelson Snow and Charles Columbus. These two young men were featured dancers in Irving Berlin's Music Box Revue and also in C. B. Dillingham's production of Oh Please. Mme. Garrigue discovered their singing voices, and as a result they have been serious vocal students since the first of this year. Although under a three year contract with C. B. Dillingham, he released them from the road tour of Oh Please in order that they might continue their vocal work with Mme. Garrigue. They are to appear in singing roles in a new production this coming fall in New York. The accompanying photograph gives an idea of their striking personalities; both are cultured gentlemen from distinguished families. Mr. Columbus is a descendant of the discoverer of America and comes justly by a real Italian throat. Mme. Garrigue predicts a notable future for both artists. She states that they are very talented, have already acquired expert dancing art, and know how to study. (Photo by Raymor, Chicago.)
