73Pennsylvania Organists Convene in Harrisburg
74HARRISBURG, PA.—Dr. Samuel A. Wolf, Lancaster, was re-elected president of the Pennsylvania State Council of the National Association of Organists at the closing sessions of the seventh annual convention held in this city. Other officers elected were as follows: Frank A. McCarrell, this city, first vice-president; second vice-president, Walter A. Heaton, Mus. Doc., Reading; secretary, William Z. Roy, Lancaster; treasurer, Charles E. Wisner, Lancaster; chairman, Alfred C. Kuschwa; executive committee, Henry S. Fry, C. M. Heinroth, Mrs. W. P. Strauch, Pottsville; William Rees, Charles W. Davis, Mrs. Isabel F. Fuller, Leroy E. Fontaine, S. Wesley Sears, Mrs. Lila M. Davis, Charles M. Courboin, Rollo F. Maitland, Ernest H. Artz, George Benkert, Mrs. Harriet Weegel Nicely, Dr. John M'E. Ward, Richard M. Stockton, Paul C. Bailey, Violette E. Cassell, John H. Duddy, Jr., Myron R. Moyer, William R. Lantz.
76Sessions of the convention, with one exception, were held in Pine Street Presbyterian Church, which was recently rebuilt with a new Skinner organ of fifty-two stops and approximately 4000 pipes. The opening recital on Monday night was given by organists of the Harrisburg chapter, Violette E. Cassell, organist and director, Camp Curtin Memorial Methodist Church; Carrie Harvie Dwyer, Market Square Presbyterian; Mrs. John R. Henry, Fifth Street Methodist; Alfred C. Kuschwa, St. Stephen's Episcopal; Frank A. McCarrell, Pine Street, Presbyterian; William E. Bretz, Zion Lutheran, and Clarence E. Heckler, Christ Lutheran. A reception with Violette E. Cassell, president of the Harrisburg Chapter, and Dr. Wolf receiving the guests, followed the recital. Before the program the visiting organists were welcomed by the Rev. J. Harold Thomson, assistant pastor of Pine Street Church, and in his response Dr. Samuel A. Wolf, state president, told of plans for organization of new chapters of the association and of the enrollment of new members.
78Tuesday morning's meeting was marked by the presentation of original organ compositions by William T. Timmings, A. A. G. O., organist of St. Paul's Church, Elkins Park, Pa., and St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Germantown, choirmaster of the Church of the Ascension, Germantown, and of the Lutheran Church of the Advocate, Germantown; and those by Frederick Stanley Smith, of the music faculty of Beaver College, Jenkintown, organist, choirmaster of the Carmel Presbyterian Church, Edge Hill. These young organists showed much talent and ability in their compositions and are sure to gain a distinctive place for themselves in the musical world. Mr. Smith played an unusually fine organ sonata, four movements, the adagio of which was especially noteworthy for its spirituality and beauty. Several shorter compositions were also included in his program, a brilliant Festival Prelude, Introspection, and an airy Chanson Gracieuse. Mr. Timmings' compositions were a stirring Grand Choeur in E minor, Toccata, Curfew Melody (an exquisite number, Overture in G minor, Paean, Serenata, and Badinage, picturesque and attractive. Convention speakers were Seibert Losh of the Midmer-Losh Organ Company, who told of the advance of the organ vibrato, and Ernest Skinner, president of the Skinner Organ Company.
80Other recitals were given by Lilian Carpenter, F. A. G. O., member of the Institute of Musical Art, New York, and Catharine Morgan, F. A. G. O., organist and director of the Haws Methodist Church, Norristown. Miss Carpenter's playing is musically intelligent and varied; Miss Morgan is also a young organist of promise, with a large degree of temperament.
82One of the most noted of the recitalists was William E. Zeuch, of the First Unitarian Church, Boston, who gave a remarkable program from the classics with some modern numbers as the closing event of the convention. Mr. Zeuch's technic is unusual and his registration varied and satisfying.
84The outstanding event of the convention was the choral service given Tuesday afternoon by the Solo Choir of Harrisburg in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church under the direction of Alfred C. Kuschwa, who also presided at the organ for the choral numbers. The choir is composed of fifty voices—the leading soloists of the city—and sings with a beautiful tone. The most noted number was the eight part à capella chorus, Praise the Lord, O My Soul by Gretchaninoff. The chorus which was vested, sang Le Jeune's Light of Light for a processional and Jerusalem the Golden by the same composer, as a recessional. John Duddy, Jr. Norristown, played the prelude; Joseph H. Bowman, Norristown, played the postlude. Mrs. W. R. Whitmarsh, violinist, with Mr. Kuschwa at the organ, and Frank A. McCarrell at the piano, played the offertory. The soloists were Mrs. Thamzine M. Cox, soprano; David F. Malick, bass, John W. Wilson, baritone. The Rev. Dr. Oscar F. R. Treder, rector of the church, gave a short address.
86A luncheon on Tuesday and the annual banquet with New Jersey State Senator Emerson L. Richards as toastmaster were social events of the convention.

90College of Fine Arts Notes
91An idea of the musical activities at Syracuse University can be gotten by looking over the list of recitals and concerts during the period of a month and six days. From April 20 to May 26, the students, faculty and music organizations of the College of Fine Arts gave thirty programs and radio concerts. There were eleven graduating recitals, two public recitals, six private recitals, six radio concerts, one faculty concert, three concerts by the men's glee club, and one concert by the women's glee club. On these thirty programs, nearly six hundred musical compositions were performed. The final concert of the University music season was the annual commencement concert on Friday evening, June 10.
93Seagle Pupil in My Maryland
94Nathaniel (Nate) Wagner, pupil of Oscar Seagle, is leading man in Shubert's new light opera My Maryland, which has been playing for the past few months in Philadelphia. Nate, who is a handsome young chap as well as the possessor of a fine tenor voice and a great deal of histrionic ability, has quite aroused the staid Philadelphians in his role of the gallant Yankee captain, and the papers have been most lavish in their praise of him. The Ledger says that in Nate Wagner the Shuberts have one of the most valuable acquisitions they have made in recent years, both in voice and dramatic ability, and the Record says he has more than a gorgeous voice.
