4A Comparative Arts Course is again to be an important supplement to the Institute curriculum. It is a lecture course designed to give the music student a background of all the arts, against which to view his own art of music. Each year a different period of development of the arts is covered. The 1928-29 course will cover the 17th and 18th centuries, interrupted by four Schubert recitals commemorating the 100th anniversary of this composer.
5Anne Maude Shamel is announced as the student counselor of the school and resident faculty member in charge of the dormitory in Fern Hall, maintained for out-of-town students.
6Des Moines, Ia. Musical schools and teachers of the city have recently presented a series of summer recitals. Among the institutions were Drake Conservatory and the Des Moines School of Arts. Winifred Garris of Drake presented Roberta Neel, pianist, and Arcule Sheasby presented his violin pupil, Donald Harper. Miss Garris also presented another pianist, Florence Schmidt, assisted by Elberta Parker, soprano. The young piano students of Miriam Piper Ryan of Drake Conservatory gave an evening recital at Howard Hall.
7The Des Moines School of Arts, under direction of George Frederick Ogden, sponsored a series of programs. Juvenile pupils of Bertha Ramsay and Elsie Fitzpatrick gave a program. Mr. Ogden's junior piano pupils were assisted in their offerings by Russell Mott and John Rowat.
8Grace Clark De Graff and Mr. Ogden presented James Monroe, pianist, and Beulah Keeney Fraley, soprano, in joint recital at Bartlett Hall.
9Lyman Wiltsee's pupils were heard in a voice and violin recital at Bartlett Hall.
10Junior pupils of Lena Simcove gave a recital at Bartlett Hall.
11Oliver Scott and several of his pupils offered a program of novelty piano playing.
12Three recitals were given at Hoyt Sherman Place by pupils of Eleanor Cameron, Hannah Roe and Margaret Dittmer Wilson.
13Two former Drake Conservatory students have been in the spotlight recently. Carol Abernathy of Fairfield, Ia., and a pupil for the past four years of Arcule Sheasby, was awarded first place in the state violin contest at Iowa City. In 1926 and 1927, Miss Abernathy won second place in the contest.
14Marjorie Van Gordon, of Emmettsburg, and a student of voice under Genevieve Wheat Baal, is in Paris studying French opera. For the past two years she has been studying in Minneapolis.

16Detroit, Mich. The consensus of opinion regarding the week of civic opera recently closed is that it was a great success, which fact, as it was Detroit's first venture in the field, was most gratifying. It was made possible by the Retail Merchants' Association which financed it.
17The first three performances were devoted to Cavalleria Rusticana and The Moon God, a choral and ballet phantasy set to the music of Aida. The huge stage was opposite the grand stand at the State Fair grounds. The scenery was effective, the chorus of two hundred fifty was well balanced and of excellent tonal quality, and the costumes were fresh and colorful. A procession of fifty altar boys from the Immaculate Conception School added a touch of reality to the Easter procession in Cavalleria. Bettina Freeman as Santuzza, Lucille Schwartz and Isobelle Dix as Lola, Fernando Bertini as Turiddu, Giuseppe Interrante as Alfio, and Lucille Kreger and Isobelle Semple as Lucia, proved admirable soloists both vocally and histrionically.
18The Detroit Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Victor Kolar played for Cavalleria and gave an excellent account of itself. For the Moon God, the baton was surrendered to Bendetzon Netzorg. The principals were Dorothy Funk as Katebet, Ida Rosenthal as Ammina, Albert Siewert as Abda, Theodore Smith as the Moon God, and Dorothy Waterman as the Temple Dancer.
19Thursday evening's performance had to be abandoned because of rain. Friday and Saturday evenings the Chocolate Soldier by Oscar Straus was presented with the following cast: Nadina, Lilian Poli; Bumerli, Forrest Huff; Mascha, Fritz von Busing; Masakroff, Marcus Kellerman; Alexius, Herman Horn; Aurelia, Florence Miller; Popoff, William R. Alvord; Stephen, Harold Smethurst. As the three principal roles were in the hands of experienced performers much was expected and fully realized, and the others measured up to their high standard admirably. So great was the success that two more performances were scheduled. Thaddeus Wronski conducted. The chorus for the operas was trained by Thaddeus Wronski and Marcus Kellerman; the ballet was from the school of Theodore J. Smith.
20The concerts at Belle Isle by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Victor Kolar are as popular as ever. The same policy as was pursued last season is being continued. Each Wednesday evening is known as International Night and part of the program is handed over to the various nationalities. Friday evening is Symphony Night. The other programs are of a popular nature.
