3Ululami's Butterfly Pleases
4Ululami, lyric soprano, who has been winning almost extravagant praise from the critics of Liège and Brussels for her wonderfully natural impersonation of Madame Butterfly, would now be the Princess Ululami if the royal house of the Hawaiian kingdom still existed. She is proud of her citizenship of the United States and recognizes that as a Hawaiian princess she would never have become an operatic soprano.
6There is a peculiar softness in her voice, for the Hawaiians are in no way related to the Mongolian races, whose voices are usually reedy and brilliant. She was hailed by public and critics alike as the living embodiment of the ill-fated Madame Butterfly, for she has the suppleness and insinuating charm of a child, together with the intelligence of a woman and the art of a highly trained musician.
8She studied for several seasons in New York with Mme. Sembrich, but for the past two years has been preparing herself for the stage at the Byrne School of Opera in Paris.
10Gruppe Under Bogue-Laberge Management
11Paulo Gruppe, cellist, has just completed arrangements to be under the Bogue-Laberge management in the future, beginning with the coming season. Mr. Gruppe is well known in musical circles, having played in almost every state in the United States. He was the first artist to give an entire cello recital in New York, it having been formerly the custom for a cellist always to appear with some other artist. He plays an Andreas Guarnerius cello, one of the best in the world. It is a large instrument, somewhat larger than the ordinary cello, of the type known as the Cathedral size, and it has a noble tone.
13Mr. Gruppe keeps himself "in training," as the athletes say, so as to be in first-rate condition to be able to stand the stress and strain of his profession. This he does by consistent exercises, especially running and swimming. He has found that violent exercise, when one is nervously tired, is rather likely to be harmful than beneficial, and he has discovered that the best preparation for such exercise is the relaxation of a swim. Judging by his appearance, which is that of a man in the flower of youth and possessed of perfect health, his methods are successful.
15For the coming season he is scheduled, under his new management, to start off with a trip through Canada, and probably will return by way of the western part of the United States.
17It will be recalled that the Bogue-Laberge management has become prominent in the few years it has been organized, being the manager of the successful pianist, E. Robert Schmitz; having brought Grandjany, celebrated French harpist, for several tours to this country; and recently having had charge of the tour of Maurice Ravel. Next year, in addition to having Mr. Schmitz and Mr. Gruppe, Bogue-Laberge will also bring the noted composer Honegger here, the Pro-Arte Quartet, and other attractions of equal interest. Mr. Gruppe is well placed, and the new arrangement will certainly be of mutual benefit to this fine artist and his reliable and efficient managers.
19Gelling Pupils in Demand
20Lida Foster, soprano, artist-pupil of Hilda Grace Gelling, was soloist at the Alabama Federation of Music Clubs' Convention, which was held recently at Selma, Ala. After the session opened with the singing ritual led by Mrs. W. W. Harper, Mrs. Foster sang the Air de Lia from Debussy's L'Enfant Prodigue. An English group, composed of songs by Winter-Watts, Ganz and La Forge followed. According to the local press, "That Alabama's best known musical critics gave to Mrs. Foster an ovation, is a source of pride to the friends who admire her wonderful lyric soprano voice." On May 6, Mrs. Foster gave a recital in Montgomery, Ala.
22Irma Good, lyric soprano, who has studied with Miss Gelling for the past six years, is being heard as soloist with the Plainfield Musical Club, at the High School, on May 10. This concert is the featured program during Music Week.
