3Miloradovich of Noble Birth
4Milo Miloradovich, dramatic soprano, has a name that is her own. She did not take a stage name, as so many artists do, nor did she call herself Miloradovich to make herself sound Russian. However, she is Russian, and she got her name as a result of her parentage. It is not so difficult a name, either, even for Americans. It says itself, so to speak, and remains in the memory, though what it may mean—in Russian—and how it may have been derived is a mystery, like the mystery of most family names, even the most simple.
6Miss Miloradovich is the daughter of Count Michaeli Miloradovich and the title was bestowed when the family was already of social prominence. In the year 1812 the original Michaeli Miloradovich became commander-in-chief of the Russian army which defeated Napoleon at the famous Battle of Moscow. It was to commemorate this event that the 1812 Overture was composed.
8So Miss Miloradovich is really Russian, in spite of the fact that she is also really American. She was born in Spokane, Wash., which accounts for her Americanism, and also accounts for the fact that not only is her accent unmistakably that of a native, but also she herself is likewise unmistakably American.
10Yet her musical talent was inherited, perhaps, from her Russian parentage. It certainly seems so, for she has a lot of it and it is of the sort that has made so many Russian musicians world famous.
12Isadora Duncan School to Tour America
13The famous dance school founded at Moscow in 1920 by Isadora Duncan at the behest of the Soviet Government of Russia will be brought to this country next fall by S. Hurok for a tour of the principal cities.
15It was the express wish of Isadora Duncan, prior to her tragic death, that the school be permitted to tour America as an inspiration for the founding of similar institutions throughout the length and breadth of her native land. And it is in respectful compliance with the wishes of the great artist that the Soviet Government is granting permission for the tour.
17For five years after its inception, and during the most trying period of reconstruction for the Soviet Government, Isadora Duncan struggled against almost unsurmountable odds to maintain the existence of the school. Her entire personal fortune and the voluntary gifts of innumerable friends were sacrificed in the valiant effort to save this ideal of an unquenchable spirit.
19During all of this period, Isadora was aided by Irma Duncan, the most cherished of her six adopted daughters. Side by side they labored in behalf of their cause and eventually when Isadora relinquished active direction of the school, Irma was entrusted with control.
21The American tour will open with a week's dance festival to be held at the Manhattan Opera House during the early part of November.
23Cantor Rosenblatt Returns from Abroad
24Josef Rosenblatt, well known cantor, was scheduled to arrive in New York on the SS. Olympic on August 28, returning from a concert tour abroad during which he made forty appearances in a period of fifteen weeks. The leading cities of Europe were visited, including London, Paris, Antwerp, Berlin, Zurich, Vienna, Warsaw, Riga and Kovno. He was received abroad with unanimous acclaim both by the press and public.
26Accompanying Mr. Rosenblatt were Mrs. Rosenblatt; their son, Leo, who arranged the tour, and the gifted young composer and pianist-accompanist, Abraham Ellstein.
28Some of the concert halls in which he sang during the tour were Salle Gaveau in Paris, Konzerthaus in Amsterdam, Flemish Opera House in Antwerp, Konventgarten in Hamburg, Salibau in Frankurt-am-Main, Tonhalle in Munich, Grosses Konzerthaus in Vienna, Philharmony in Warsaw and the National Opera House in Riga. He will shortly conduct the Jewish High Holiday Services at his synagogue in Brooklyn, after which he will enter on another busy season of concerts and religious services both here and abroad.
30"A remarkably fine voice; all the assets of the concert singer—voice, stage presence, complete artistry."
