1MUSICAL COURIER
3The Playhouse of Mrs. H. E. Talbott, on her beautiful estate in Dayton, Ohio. It is 185 feet long by ninety feet wide; as seen, it is being enjoyed as a tennis court. The remarkable part about the hall is that under the stage there are hidden 800 chairs, which, when the hall is cleared, are arranged on a carpeted floor and lo, behold a perfect concert hall! Mrs. Talbott is very happy in being able to provide a place where the public may enjoy the beauties of music and this year the Civic Music League of Dayton began its concert series in the Playhouse with Rosa Ponselle. The first of a series of free concerts was also given there by the Civic Orchestra with June Burriff as soloist. There were 800 persons present. Mrs. Talbott, is, of course, known as the great booster of the Dayton Westminster Choir which after this year will be located in Ithaca, N. Y. Mrs. Talbott will, however, continue to promote the interests of the Choir and a room will be specially set aside for her in Ithaca Conservatory as a token of the appreciation and esteem in which she is held by those whom she has sponsored.
