1THE VIOLINIST
3SAN DIEGO, CAL.
4The first concert of the Vilim Violin School was given before a house filled with lovers of musical art and those attracted by the newly-opened school. The program was the first of a series to be presented, one each month, during the present term.
6Richard Vilim and James O'Connor played the G. Major Sonata for violin and piano by Greig.
8Signor G. Cavaradosso from Los Angeles, who has taken tenor parts with the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company, sang "Donnae Mobile" from Rigoletto (Verdi), and, when encored, "I Hear You Calling Me" and then the intermezzo from "Cavaliere Rusticana." Mr. Vilim played the violin obligato during the latter.
10It was, perhaps, the first appearance of Raymond Paige before so large a San Diego audience. "I Lambardi" (Vieux-temps), was given by the young violinist, with Mr. Bowers at the piano.
12The "Suite," opus 71, of Moszkowski, for two violins and piano, was given by Mr. Vilim, first violin; Raymond Paige, second violin, with the piano part played by James O'Connor. In the quartet, opus, 12, of Mendelssohn; Mr. Vilim and Raymond Paige took the violin parts, while August Wolf and W. Fox played the viola and 'cello parts, respectively.
14Richard Vilim is well known in Chicago as a violinist, having left there only a year or two ago to reside in San Diego. Mr. Vilim is a graduate of the Vilim American Violin School and received his musical education from his father, Joseph Vilim, in Chicago. The information of Mr. Vilim's school in San Diego came with great pleasure to his friends in Chicago, who are numerous, and they are interested in his future career.
16WAHPETON, N. D.
17A conservatory of music opened here this fall with Prof. E. Bruce Knowlton of Chicago, in charge. Courses in the violin and other instruments are offered.

19BERKELEY, CAL.
20Miss Vivian Grant, a young artist of this city, plays not only on the violin, but on the piano. At a recital in the Berkeley High School recently, Miss Grant performed two violin solos—the Adagio from the DeBeriot "Concerto," and "Spanish Dance," by Rehfield. In French monologues, she accompanies herself on the violin, and though on her programs, she is assisted by no one, the three artistic accomplishments as violin soloist, pianist and recitative ability, give sufficient variety to the concerts. Miss Grant has given programs in several cities in the vicinity of Berkeley.
22THE NEMUSIER METHOD
23BRINGS WONDERFUL RESULTS
24because it is an absolutely natural development. It draws the strength from the arm into the hand. It develops wonderful resistance, and perfect finger-action. It increases the reach, individualizes each finger, makes chord passages, thirds and all forms of double notes a pleasure. It will develop speed and accuracy. It corrects the evils of a bad hand. Was invented by Carl Frederic Steckelberg, head teacher of violin in the University School of Music in Lincoln, Nebraska. It is approved by some of the world's greatest teachers. No student can afford to be without this method, as one hour's practice will bring the results of eight hours technical work on the violin. Anyone may have the privilege of examining this method for themselves. Write to the
