10and Frank Black, pianist, sailed for Europe on June 30 for an extended concert tour of Europe. This all-American organization is introducing abroad a program of "Americana," tracing the development of American popular airs down to the present time. It is the same type of program which The Revelers, well known here through their radio and phonograph work, will present on their first American concert tour, from January 15 to February 15, 1929.
12Frank Black, who creates the arrangements which The Revelers sing, has done research among early American airs and compiled many novelties for this season's tour. A program group would, for instance, include selections from Early Americans, from Foster; Strenuous Americans, which covers cowboy songs, sea chanties, and other vigorous melodies; Spirituals, The Mauve Decade, and Today. An alternative program comprises arrangements of the classics. Songs of the South, a piano group, Old Favorites, and Our Contemporaries, including the Rhapsody in Blue with words by Mr. Black.
14The Revelers will return to America at the end of August.
16Klibansky Activities Abroad
17News reaches the MUSICAL COURIER of the success which Serge Klibansky is enjoying during his stay in Berlin. The master classes have surpassed all expectations, thirty pupils being most enthusiastic as to Mr. Klibansky's method of teaching. Recent names which have been added as pupils include: Fritz Kupping, first tenor of the Kroll Opera House; Herta Pfeil-Schneider, wife of the new choral master for the New York Society of the Friends of Music; Janice McSherley, from the Roxy Theater; Dorothy Rogers; Fritz Firle, bass of the Tilsit Opera House; Jane Cammack, Paul Richards, Arthur Ocheltree, Frau Dr. Curyell, and many others.
19Pupils of Mr. Klibansky who are active abroad and are well known in music circles include: Tilly de Garmo, re-engaged at the Berlin Opera House, Unter den Linden; Ludwig Eylisch, re-engaged for the Dresden Opera; Alfred Glass, bass of the Breslauer Opera House, who made a successful appearance in the Meistersinger at the Berlin Opera House; Johanna Klemperer, who appeared successfully as Louisa in Verdi's opera, Louisa Miller.
21Mr. Klibansky recently took a flying trip to Dresden where he saw the performance of Strauss' Egyptian Helen and later went to Prague where he conferred with the director of the opera house in regard to appearances of his American pupils. At a recent gathering arranged by Mr. Klibansky, several prominent Berlin musicians attended, among them Otto Klemperer, Fritz Zweig, Tilly de Garmo, Professor Barmass, Karina Branzell, Frederick Schorr, Dr. Curyell and Dr. de Courcey.
23Neva Morris "Lives in the Roles She Plays"
24Neva Morris, chanteuse and children's entertainer appeared in her familiar roles of Uncle Wiggily and Raggedy Ann at the annual children's party given recently at the Pittsburgh, Pa., Country Club. "Mrs. Morris actually lives in the roles she plays," said one of the dailies following this appearance, and perhaps that is why she succeeds so well in winning the attention and confidence of her young listeners. As Mrs Morris herself states, 'I am trying to give the children wholesome lessons in sugar coated form, never moralizing, never analyzing—just telling my stories. I try to give them something to take along home from the party besides short lived balloons and candy suckers. A carefully planned program will make them remember the party and the lessons of the stories will become a part of their mental experiences."
26John Seagle Following Father's Footsteps
27John Seagle, twenty-one-year-old son of Oscar Seagle, is also a singer. His voice is so much like his father's that it is difficult at a little distance to tell them apart. He is a member of the National Cavaliers, a broadcasting and concert quartet which is one of the best liked and most popular on the air. This quartet was selected by the Telegram this spring as the finest quartet in a contest.
29All of the boys are pupils of Seagle's and the organization was formed at Schroon Lake two years ago. They started under the name of the "Kitchen Quartet" since several of the boys were working their way through the summer by helping in the dining room and kitchen. They were so well liked at the Vesper Services and at the local concerts that the idea came to them to try broadcasting, with the above result.
31John was born in Paris, was named for the famous Jean, but since in America the name was always given the wrong pronunciation, he changed it. He is studying quite seriously, since the broadcasting work allows him a good deal of leisure, and he expects to follow in his father's footsteps.
33Marjorie Candee in Accident
34Shortly after her wedding, Marjorie Candee was returning to New York from Pittsfield. Miss Candee was driving her car along the road when a truck came into the highway without warning. It was impossible to avoid it and Miss Candee's car was thrown into a ditch. The car was completely smashed in on the left side, but fortunately Miss Candee and her companion received only a severe shock.
36Thalberg Returns to Cincinnati Conservatory
37Marcian Thalberg, well known pedagogue of the piano, has returned to his post at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music after a year's leave of absence spent in Switzerland and France, where he gave many successful recitals. Mr. Thalberg's return is marked by a successful master and normal class and many private pupils, but the event of his homecoming was his piano recital, for it has been a dozen years since he has played in Cincinnati. He was greeted by a packed house. The recital was indeed an inspiration to all his hearers and especially to his pupils, who are constantly remarking upon his ability as a pedagogue and the clarity of his exposition.
39Following a short vacation in August, Mr. Thalberg will continue his teaching at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, beginning early in September.
41The Revelers in Europe
