1French Violin School Establishes Chicago Branch
2The Modern Violin Institute of Paris, France, has sent a group of its most distinguished faculty members to Chicago, where an American branch of this well known institution has been established. The Modern Violin Institute is under the personal direction of Lucien Capet and has as honorary presidents such world famous artists as Eugene Ysaye, Fritz Kreisler and Pablo Casals.
4Such well known French pedagogues as Mme. S. Joachim-Chaigneau, Remo Bolognini, Michel Wilkomirski, and Georges Szpinalscki have come to Chicago as members of the faculty of the Modern Violin Institute, which is temporarily located at the Eitel Hotel, Delaware Place and Cass Street. Phyllis Feingold is assistant teacher and Louise Silber has the preparatory classes. A unique feature of the Institute is that the instructors have all been trained in the school and all have established names for themselves in the concert and teaching world. The Modern Violin Institute of Paris is widely known throughout Europe, where it is considered one of the most representative schools of its kind.
6Mme. S. Joachim-Chaigneau, head of the master classes of the Institute, has been teaching with much success throughout the summer months in Chicago. Mme. Joachim-Chaigneau is the only representative of the faculty of this well known Paris school who has ever taught in the United States, and brings with her the proven modern methods, which have made the school celebrated for developing the highest technic in the shortest possible period of time. Her technical methods have attracted world-wide attention and have been published in book form in French, Italian, Spanish and English under the title, How to Practice, with an introduction by Fritz Kreisler. Schirmer has recently published her New Values in Violin Study, which also carries a foreword by Kreisler. Mme. Joachim-Chaigneau has gained an enviable reputation as a violinist and teacher. As violinist she appeared with the Chaigneau Trio in all the large cities of Europe, in joint recital with such artists as Joseph Joachim, Pablo Casals and Harold Bauer, and was the last violinist to have the honor of playing in the Gewandhaus in Leipzig under Arthur Nikisch. She has had the valuable training of the late Joseph Joachim, her father-in-law, who coached and sponsored her for several years.
8Remo Bolognini has been engaged as second concertmaster of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and is scheduled for three solo appearances with the orchestra before Christmas. Michel Wilkomirski has won much success in concert. Last season he scored heavily as soloist with the Pasdeloup Orchestra in Paris. Of him Eugene Ysaye writes: "Michel Wilkomirski must become one of the first violinists of the time."
10Georges Szpinalscki has appeared in concert and recital in France and received most enthusiastic praise from the critics. Lucien Capet says of him: "This young man is one of the most exceptional personalities of our time, and I can do no better than to recommend him to all the orchestra leaders and musical societies of France and abroad, as one of the most wonderful violinists one can possibly hear."
12Such a remarkable violin school is a welcome addition to Chicago's musical circle, and success should crown its efforts.

76from a photograph taken three years ago.
78is now sixteen years old. Up to the present time he has appeared in concert in the familiar knickers of the boy. His listeners at his concert in Carnegie Hall on December 7 will see him for the first time in the formal tuxedo outfit of the adult. Cherkassky is no longer a prodigy, he is now the artist.

83Marcella Geon Artists Score
84When the Women's Club of Tarrytown, N. Y., presented That's That, a musical comedy, on October 18 and 19, Mrs. Raymond Schenck (Arline Heidt), an artist-pupil of Marcella Geon, scored an individual success. One of the local papers commented: "Mrs. Schenck possesses a very fine voice and used it well in The Day That I Met You." Her singing reflected much credit upon the work of Miss Geon, who is already exceedingly busy in her New York studios.
86Marguerite Brezee, another pupil, gave an interesting program over WGBS on October 23, which attracted considerable attention.
88Philip James Announces Orchestra Plans
89Philip James, conductor of the New Jersey Orchestra of Montclair, N. J., announces the opening concert of the sixth season of the organization for the evening of December 6. Sylvia Lent, violinist, will be the soloist of the occasion and play the Brahms concerto. The program will also include Beethoven's second symphony and the overture to The Bartered Bride by Smetana. Pablo Casals and Harold Bauer have been chosen for the soloists of the second and third concerts of the winter series, to be held on February 24 and May 11, respectively.
