18VERA CURTIS,
19soprano, who has just signed a contract to appear for the third consecutive season with the Cincinnati Opera Company. Miss Curtis will have nine performances: three in Tannhauser, three in Walteure and three in Cavalleria Rusticana. She is a most reliable singer and can be counted upon for a highly enjoyable performance, whether in concert, oratorio or opera. Perhaps, this is why the soprano is so much in demand.

25At the invitation of Martin H. Hanson, manager of the Dayton Westminster Choir, the distinguished English critic and lecturer, Percy A. Scholes, squeezed seven hours out of his busy schedule to visit Dayton, during which time he heard the Dayton Westminster Choir, of which John Finley Williamson is the conductor. Mr. Scholes was the guest of Mrs. H. E. Talbott, the president of the Choir, and what Mr. Scholes will have to say about the work of the Choir remains to be seen.
