70SZIGETI TO APPEAR WITH LEADING ENGLISH ORCHESTRAS
71LONDON.—Thanks chiefly to Joseph Szigeti's wonderful performance of Beethoven's violin concerto here last season he has been engaged to play with practically all the leading orchestras in England next year. He will appear in the London Symphony Orchestra series, in the London National Symphony Concerts, the Gerald Cooper Concerts (Queens Hall), the Manchester Halle Concerts, with the Liverpool Philharmonic, with the Scottish Orchestra in Edinburgh and Glasgow and with the Belfast Philharmonic.

73STIEDRY TO CONDUCT AT BERLIN MUNICIPAL OPERA
74BERLIN.—Fritz Stiedry, former conductor of the Berlin Staatsoper, has been engaged to take Bruno Walter's place during the latter's absence on foreign tours. As Walter is active in Berlin only six months of the year Stiedry will have ample opportunity to show his extraordinary ability as a conductor.

77KLEMPERER TO HAVE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
78BERLIN.—Otto Klemperer, who for the last year has been running the second Staatsoper here alone, has found the task too great, and an assistant, Ernst Legal, at present in- tendent of the State Opera in Cassel, has been called in to help him. Beginning next October, Legal will look after the business end of the opera and Klemperer will devote himself entirely to the musical department.

81MANUSCRIPT OF DVORAK'S EARLIEST COMPOSITION MISSING
82PRAGUE.—The manuscript of Anton Dvorak's first composition, which had been kept in the Prague State Conservatory, has mysteriously disappeared. It was the score of the composer's string quartet, op. 1, written in 1861, and had never been printed nor copied.

85MAHLER'S EIGHTH SYMPHONY HEARD AT PRINTING EXPOSITION
86COLOGNE.—The most imposing musical event that took place in connection with the International Printing Exposition ("Presse") here was the performance of Mahler's eighth symphony. This gigantic work has a universal appeal and seems to be above nationality, an impression that was deepened by the wonderful performance it was given under Eugen Szenkar, the general musical director of the Opera. The leading singers of the opera company were the soloists while the huge chorus and splendid opera orchestra did their full share toward making the occasion memorable. The capacity audience applauded stormily and recalled Szenkar again and again.

89KUNWALD TO SHARE DUTIES WITH A NEW YORKER
90BERLIN.—The announcement that Ernst Kunwald, for many years conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, has been appointed successor to the late Emil Bohnke as leader of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra is followed by the information that a number of guest conductors will be engaged during the coming season. Kunwald will conduct three of the big symphony concerts besides the Sunday concerts and those for which the orchestra is engaged by soloists. He will also take the orchestra on tour. Negotiations are said to be pending with a New York conductor to take charge of the concerts for a few weeks during the second half of the season.

93Will Rogers Arouses Great Interest
94Howard Potter recently returned from an eight thousand mile trip of advance work for the fall tour of Will Rogers. This will start early in October and will cover the entire northwest and Canada, and conclude in California just before Christmas.
95Mr. Potter is most enthusiastic about the tour and says he had a splendid chance to talk with all the managers in the sixty-odd cities visited, whose interest in Mr. Rogers is great.
96"I have had about as big a thrill representing Mr. Rogers as I have had in many years," Mr. Potter goes on to tell. "It seems to me that the first two years of my association with Galli-Curci, or the time Mary Garden was director of the Chicago Opera Company, are the only two experiences that I can think of that gave me quite the satisfaction that I have had in representing Will Rogers throughout the country."
97According to Mr. Potter there was not a city visited where he did not find suitable auspices to present Mr. Rogers, and even in Canada, as far out as Victoria, they are anxiously awaiting his first appearance through that country.
98"However," says Mr. Potter, "in many other cities he is returning for the second and the third time, and there is hardly a university in the entire North and Northwest that has not engaged Mr. Rogers for an appearance." Mr. Rogers recently came from Beverly Hills to appear at Ocean Grove on July 21 and at the Vanderbilts in Newport on the 23rd, the following day with the United Drug Company in Boston, and then to Winona Lake on the 26th. The balance of the summer he will spend at his home in Beverly Hills with his literary work.
99Mr. Potter will soon go on a tour of advance work for the one hundred and fifty dates Mr. Rogers has from January 15 on.
101Two New Tenors for Pennsylvania Grand Opera

Orsatti, formerly of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, will make his first Philadelphia appearance in the role of Pinkerton in Madame Butterfly.
