10third, of the season's performances of the opera, was enjoyed by a large house of enthusiastic music lovers.
12PELLEAS ET MELISANDE, FEBRUARY 25
13Pelleas et Melisande was repeated at the Metropolitan on Saturday afternoon, with a familiar cast, headed by Bori and Johnson. This artistic pair, in their respective parts, are ideal vocally, histrionically and visually—if that is the proper word. They give the appearance of extreme youth as the famous lovers and their performance was excellent. Clarence Whitehill was again heard in the music of Golaud, of which he makes a strong figure, and little Ellen Dalossy was well cast as Yniold. Ananian, Rohtier and Kathleen Howard completed the capable cast, while Hasselmans conducted with authority.
15SUNDAY NIGHT CONCERT
16Despite the changeable weather of the last week-end, the schedule of singers for the regular Sunday Night Concert was not altered, each appearing in his proper place and contributing to a very enjoyable program, under the baton of Giuseppe Bamboschek. The orchestra opened with Smetana's Bartered Bride overture and closed with Strauss' Wine, Woman and Song, with two numbers by Tschaikowsky and Glazounoff mid-way between. Marion Talley sang two arias, one from the Barber of Seville and the other from Mignon. She was enthusiastically received by the packed house and recalled several times. Her voice sounded fresh, remarkably clear and of ample power, without forcing; also she looked charming. Marion Telva was admirable in O Don Fatale from Don Carlos, as were the Misses Talley and Wells, and Tedesco, Patrimeri, Basiola and Pinza in the Sextet from Lucia. Mr. Basiola had a solo, too, the prologue from Pagliacci, which brought the house down. The Pace, Pace mio Dio from La Forza del Destino was well sung by Miss Wells and Mr. Kirchhoff elected to give Lohengrin's narrative for his enjoyable solo; after which Nanette Guilford, she of the naturally beautiful voice, was heard in the Ernani Involami. Pinza, a great favorite with Metropolitan Opera goers, was another high light, his singing of the La Calunnia from the Barber being nothing short of superb.
18Peter Meremblum's Historical Sonata Recitals
19Peter Meremblum, violinist and laureate of the Imperial Russian Conservatory at Petrograd with Leopold Auer, is doing some creditable work on the northern Pacific coast. For the past three seasons he has been giving historical sonata recitals. This year the violinist was heard, among other places, at the Portland Conservatory of Music in several characteristic programs. The works, extending as they did from Handel and Tartini to Szymanowski and Nicolai, were planned to give the music student, and layman as well, a better understanding of the growth and development of the violin sonata.
20The historical recital in general has proved to be as effective as it is popular, and Mr. Meremblum's are no exception to the rule.
22Zukovsky Pupil Scores in New York Debut
23Minna Krokowsky, violinist, who made her debut in New York on February 16, is a student from the class of Alexander Zukovsky of Chicago. Miss Krokowsky was acclaimed by the public and press alike.
25"YES, IT'S A STEINWAY"
27ISN'T there supreme satisfaction in being able to say that of the piano in your home? Would you have the same feeling about any other piano? "It's a Steinway." Nothing more need be said. Everybody knows you have chosen wisely; you have given to your home the very best that money can buy. You will never even think of changing this piano for any other. As the years go by the words "It's a Steinway" will mean more and more to you, and again and again, as you continue to enjoy through life the companionship of that noble instrument, absolutely without a peer, you will say to yourself: "How glad I am I paid the few extra dollars and got a Steinway."
