41Althouse Sings First Concert in Germany
42Paul Althouse sang his first concert in Germany on August 17, at Norderney, at the seventh Symphonic Evening of the season under the conductorship of Josef Frischen. The performance was a great success, Althouse taking nineteen bows. The singer was immediately re-engaged for another performance next season, during the time he will be in Germany filling operatic and concert engagements. His numbers included arias from Tosca and L'Africana, three songs with piano accompaniment—Waldeinsamkeit, Reger; Nichts, Strauss, and the Pagliacci arioso,—and Siegmund's Liebeslied and Walther's Prislied, again with orchestra.
44Ralph Leopold's Accident
45Ralph Leopold, pianist, who has been spending some weeks with his sister, Mrs. Newton D. Baker, in Cleveland, O., met with an accident several weeks ago which might have resulted seriously. He ran into a small board in which there was a rusty nail which pierced his shoe and foot. In spite of prompt attention, it had swollen in an hour's time to twice its normal size and was quite a bad infection. After treatment of a couple of days, the pianist was able to get around quite well with a cane.
