3with Mrs. Edwards Sachs, leader; Vocal Double Quartet, Ora Witte, chairman, Mrs. Paul Roche, Mrs. James Chalkley, Mrs. Eugene Hays, Maude Cunyus, Mrs. Stanley Winters, Mrs. Ernest Servener, Mrs. T. H. Flannery, with Mrs. George Beverly, accompanist; Special Biennial Woman's Chorus, David Griffin, director; Mrs. T. R. Secco, and Victor Powell, of Austin; and Mrs. Travis Bruce Bunn and Mrs. Horace C. Watson, of Laredo. Musicians giving numbers on the mezzanine, included Mary Louise Walliser, Mrs. Otis Vaughn, Lillian Spellessy, Dorothy Bell Newton, Elizabeth Scoggins, Virginia Coen, Romana Schifers, Josephine Falbo, Josephine Rodon, Margaret Blum, Florence Simon, Mary Antoinette Rodeseney, Esther Schultz, Maxine Boettcher, and Effie Decuir, besides a number who have been mentioned above. Walter Dunham was the official organist and accompanist, and appeared many times. He was assisted by Mrs. H. G. Bertenshaw, of Nowata, Okla., as accompanist, Mrs. Eugene B. Lawson, of Tulsa, Okla., arranged for a number of out-of-town musicians to appear, as follows: Mrs. Raymond F. Fischer, Mrs. Charles S. Smith, Elizabeth Garrett, Mrs. C. L. Briscoe, Bird Trahan, Mrs. Eugene B. Lawson, Mrs. G. Garabedian, Ada Pierce Winn, and Mrs. P. J. White. Hugh McAmis, organist, accompanist of the Biennial Woman's Chorus, was presented in two numbers at one of the sessions, and played the organ accompaniment for the Junior Pageant. Carlos Buhler, pianist, now holding a master class at Baylor School of Music, at Waco, was presented in a group of six numbers. At one of the morning sessions, Texas, My Texas, by William Marsh of Ft. Worth, Texas Blue Bonnet, by Julia D. Owen, of Navasota, and Have You Ever Been to Texas in the Spring, by Mary Daggett Lake, were sung. The writer hopes no name has been omitted.

6San Francisco, Cal. San Francisco could pay no greater homage to Albert Coates than to fill the Dreamland Auditorium to its capacity upon the occasion of his second and final appearance as guest conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. More than 7,000 persons greeted him with a burst of applause when he strode on the platform, but this burst was a mere pittance compared to the demonstration he received at the conclusion of the program. Leading in the applause from a box were Bernardino Molinari, conductor from Rome, who is scheduled to direct the next three summer symphony concerts here, and Monsieur and Madame Ricou, the former being director of the Paris Opera-Comique. Ricou is in San Francisco for the purpose of interesting influential patrons of art in bringing the Opera-Comique to this city in the near future. Launching the program off with the Overture to Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, which is the essence of grace and charm, Coates and the orchestra played it con amore, to the great relish of the audience. For novelties, Coates introduced Glazounoff's arrangement of the Song of the Volga Boatman, the Rossini-Respighi Ballet Suite, La Boutique-Fantase and the Scherzo and March from Prokofieff's The Love of the Three Oranges. The major number of the evening and the most inspiring was Scriabine's Poeme de l'extase, which, while tremendously interesting, is not strikingly original, being reminiscent here and there of Strauss, Brahms and Debussy. Regarded technically, however, it is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and reveals the genius of the Russian. Coates' reading of this score was a model for finish, clarity and plasticity. There were no exaggerations, no tiresome moments, no ragged edges and the orchestra, sensitive, flexible and highly strung, played in a manner to be described as superb. Henri Pontbriand, tenor, made his San Francisco debut as soloist and offered Celeste Aida and the Flower Song from Carmen. The young Frenchman displayed an exceptionally fine voice and an unusually good technical equipment. The emotional quality of his voice was admirably suited to these arias. The audience enjoyed him thoroughly and recalled him frequently. Mr. Coates brought the concert to an end with an excellent performance of Elgar's Enigma Variations. At its conclusion the orchestra rose and gave him a "Tusch."

7Grace Campbell, pianist, teacher and newly-elected president of the Pacific Musical Society, presented her young students in an enjoyable recital. The assisting artist of the occasion was Frances Anderson, pupil of Alvina Heuer Wilson, who was heard in several arias and songs that revealed her soprano voice and excellent training to the fullest. Mrs. Campbell has truly a remarkable class of pupils. Their work showed that they have been carefully schooled and they played with an unusual amount of assurance and individuality of style. About ten pupils participated in this interesting program and were rewarded for their fine performance by enthusiastic applause from a very large audience.

8Annie Louise David, harpist, who is spending the summer in San Francisco, was the guest of honor at a reception given by Alice Seckels in her new studios in the Fairmont Hotel. About 150 persons greeted the charming visitor.

9Valerie Post, young Russian soprano and member of the San Francisco Opera Co., who has been heard by the musical public of San Francisco, has just been honored by election to the position of vocal instructor at the State Normal School, Cheney, Wash. Miss Post has received her entire musical education in California, her vocal work having been under the guidance of Johanna Kristoff. Miss Post holds an A.B. and an M.A. degree from the University of California and has been a member of the Berkeley High School faculty since graduation.

10Charles Wakefield Cadman was a recent visitor here en route to Alaska. To this musician goes the signal of distinction of pioneering in the concert field of Alaska. Cadman was accompanied by a co-artist, Margaret Messer Morris, Los Angeles soprano, and Miss Morris' mother. Mr. Cadman and Miss Morris will give concerts in Juneau, Alaska, and other northern points of interest.

11Another star added to the radio constellation bids fair to loom brightly on the evening air in the person of Dove Kilgore of Oakland. Out of scores of applicants, Miss Kilgore was chosen to present over KLX a series of programs of the better class of music consisting of operatic arias and classical pieces. The young soprano is a pupil of Mabel Riegelman, of the Chicago Opera.

12Flora Bauer Bernstein, sister of the late Emilie Frances Bauer, was a recent visitor in San Francisco. She expressed herself as being delighted with our city and our musical achievements, being particularly impressed with the fine work of our San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

15Tampa, Fla. During the last few weeks many voice and piano studios have been giving public recitals. In the fourth of a students' series, Conrad Murphree presented Lillian Boris Godsey, of St. Petersburg, in a song recital which attracted a responsive audience both from Tampa and St. Petersburg. She was assisted by Elsie Barge, pianist; Horace Brown, violinist, and Alex Brown, cellist, all of St. Petersburg. They gave a satisfying rendition of Mendelssohn's trio in D minor. Miss Barge accompanied Mrs. Godsey throughout the program, and was most sympathetic in her support. Ten of Mr. Murphree's pupils were heard in an all-American song recital. The first American song ever composed, by Francis Hopkins, was appropriately used to open the program. The sixth of the series from the Murphree Studios was given by the younger students, and was very interesting. The opera program was the seventh and final recital in this series. Twelve advanced students were a distinct credit to the careful and artistic training of the Murphree Studio. Netta Campbell Gracey, accompanist, was charming and efficient in the varied demands of an exacting program. William Doherty, violinist; Antoinette Robb, cellist; Ben Johnson, bass viol, and Charles St. Claire, pianist, were the assisting artists. In selections from Il Trovatore and Madame Butterfly they deservedly won warm applause from the largest audience of the recital season.

16The D'Angelo Studio presented a group of pupils in a song recital of merit. Mrs. George Hayman gave excellent support at the piano.

17The pupils of the Virgil School, under the direction of Habel M. Snavey, gave a program of high standard, and were warmly praised for their careful training. M. M. S.
