3Artists Everywhere
5Gustave L. Becker, teacher of piano, resumed teaching at his New York studio on September 4. This was earlier than usual and owing to the fact that a number of new applicants for instruction were eager to start their lessons as soon as possible.
7Sophie Braslau, contralto, will close her fall tour through the South and Southwest in Los Angeles, where she will appear on December 20 and 21 as soloist with the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra.
9Leonora Corona, Metropolitan Opera soprano, is appearing in concert in Belgium and Holland. She will return to America early in October to begin a concert tour which opens in Janesville, Wis., after which she will appear in the Middle West and South. Miss Corona will rejoin the Metropolitan Opera forces on January 1.
11Renee Chemet gave a recital in Paris recently in conjunction with Tito Schipa, tenor. During September Mme. Chemet will appear with the Residentie Orchestra at Scheveningen, Holland. She will open her next American tour, January 8, in Montreal, Canada.
13Tudor Davies, the Welsh tenor, will return in February next year for his third American tour. Among the recent engagements booked for this artist is a recital at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, in February.

17Marie de Kyzer writes of her enjoyable trip in Europe. Vesper Service in the Dresden Kreuzkirche presented a program of organ and boy-choir, and Der Rosenkavalier at the Berlin Staats-Opera House, both highly enjoyable. She tells of the Yale Glee Club in Dresden, the Vienna Saengerfest, the parade and pageant of 200,000 men, a Wagnerian Concert, Salzburg and Innsbruck, Switzerland, for three weeks, Paris similarly, then America and her fine class of vocal pupils awaiting her. She adds "I saw the MUSICAL COURIER in hotel reading rooms, and it seemed like a message from home."
19Clarence Dickinson and Mrs. Dickinson have sent cards from various European cities saying: "Having a great time running down folk songs and Monastic song through Yugoslavia, Dalmatian towns and elsewhere." Bits of amusement in Ireland and Wales were interludes in their musical research.
21Amy Ellerman and Calvin Coxe, spending the summer in Yankton, S. D., found themselves in demand as teachers, so they have been busy with an intensive course, having a class with fine voices. Their love for music and enthusiasm resulted in these pupils making amazing progress, for enthusiasm is contagious; they teach on nature's principles, with no mystery nor uncertainties. Miss Ellerman believes that this is an age when higher art and better singing are demanded.
23Rudolph Ganz will make a tour of the Pacific Coast next winter, concluding with appearances as soloist with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in San Francisco on March 8 and 9.

41Benno Moiseiwitsch, who is now concertizing in Australia, writes his American manager that the present tour, financially, has exceeded that of any previous visit he has made to the Antipodes. He is due for a return tour in the Far East, Java, China and Japan, this month. His next American tour will open the middle of January on the Pacific Coast.
43Isabel Richardson Molter, dramatic soprano, besides appearing in New York, Boston and Chicago in recital, will have a substantial southern tour, centering around engagements in Bowling Green and Murray, Ky., Nashville, Birmingham, Shreveport and Fort Worth.
45Nina Morgana, soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will fulfil a number of engagements in the Northwest next season. She is scheduled, among other places, for recitals in Minneapolis and Winnipeg.
47Mary Miller Mount, pianist and accompanist, is spending the summer at Avalon, N. J., but one day each week she has been going to Philadelphia for a full day of teaching. Among her engagements for the fall are: October 10, Cape May, N. J.; 17, Palmyra, N. J.; November 19, Philadelphia, and January 16, Morristown, Pa., at which time she will appear in a two-piano recital with Elizabeth Gest.

It is also their second joint recital in Peoria with Gitta Gradova, pianist. Another joint recital for the quartet with Miss Gradova is at Evansville, Ind., October 30.
51Marie Olszewksa, contralto, whose first American appearances next winter are being anticipated with interest, is scheduled to open her American season as soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in Cincinnati on November 9 and 10.

55Emma Roberts has been interrupting her vacation at Newport, R. I., on various occasions to sing at some of the important musicales held at the famous resort. The contralto's New York recital is scheduled for Town Hall on November 27.
