Trick, will play before the Mozart Club of Jamestown January 7.
Nellie M. Gould, director of the Ionian Club, presented an interesting and enjoyable program in Pilgrim Congregational Church, December 15, consisting of selections by the Ionian Orchestra (Mr. Rowland, conductor), with vocal, violin, clarinet and piano solos interspersed.
Mary M. Howard, piano, organ and harmony teacher and dean of the music critics of Buffalo, presented eight of her junior pupils in an informal recital at her studio last Saturday afternoon, all reflecting great credit to their teacher.
Mrs. Wilbert Gerhardt and Arthur King Barnes were the soloists at the Elks’ annual memorial services held last week.
James Y. Leins, well known teacher of piano and organ, is justly proud of the success of a former pupil. Burton Kurth, now a leading and prosperous musician of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Julius Singer’s class of violin pupils gave a recital at Hutchinson High School November 29, and they were assisted by his orchestra classes.
We have many fine accompanists in Buffalo. William Gomph has frequently shown his ability to step in at the last moment and accompany the visiting artists, often without rehearsal and to their complete satisfaction. Ethyal McMullen is also a most sympathetic, musicianly performer, unusual in that she accompanies in most instances without score. Christie Williams proved her right during the festival to rank among our most efficient ones; she is official accompanist for the National American Festival Chorus, also the Guido Chorus. Arnold Cornelissen’s accompaniments for Cecil Arden in recital recently were most satisfactory to performer and audience. And there are others favorably known.	L H M
in some songs which did credit to her as a singer and as a student of how to project the English language. It is the opinion of the same critic that Mr. Kindler draws an accomplished bow, evoking with suave, finished tone melodies from the works of ancient and modern composers and giving them warm, rhythmic and vital presentation.
Another very successful engagement filled recently by Lucy Gates was at Keokuk, when she was presented in concert at the Grand Opera House by the Monday Music Club. According to one of the press notices at hand covering this event, “Miss Gates possesses all of the essentials of Jhe truly great singer, a cordial, unaffected manner; radiant personal beauty; a powerful voice, by nature luscious, and by training made brilliant; and last but by no means least, she is a real musician as well as vocalist.”
Middleton Just Busy Singing
Every fall when Arthur Middleton, baritone, leaves New York on one of his extended concert tours that take him from coast to coast through many states, he informs his managers that they need not expect to hear from him as he is going to be busy “just singing.” But this remark is always superfluous, for Mr. Middleton is an over-modest artist that ^ cannot see why the public should possibly be interested in anything about him besides his singing, and his managers know from experience that such mere trifles as press notices, invariably carefully collected by every artist great or small, he never bothers to collect. To illustrate : How_ many artists that had sung thirty dates, in-eluding an important New York recital, in a season thus far advanced would have neglected to have sent back to their manager’s office notices from at least the more important of their engagements? None, perhaps, except Arthur Middleton.
Gates a Real Musician as Well as Vocalist
On December 1 Lucy Gates, coloratura soprano, was heard in joint recital with Hans Kindler, the cellist, at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, and both artists were exceedingly well received by both the press and public alike. Edward Moore, in ,the Chicago Tribune, commended Miss Gates for her artistic rendition of the “Una voce poco fa” aria from “The Barber of Seville,” and stated that she appeared
Rosing Sings for Radio-Phone Audience
The radio-phone enthusiasts residing in the mountains, hills, villages, towns and cities in the eastern section of the United States and Canada, as well as those on ships several thousand miles out at sea, were given an opportunity to hear the Russian tenor, Rosing, whose recital in the West-inghouse studio, Saturday evening, December 31, was broadcasted on 360 meter-wave by “WJZ.”
Rosing has entertained English audiences for quite some time, and won׳ the admiration of musical critics in Europe and America. The radio-phone audience enjoyed his interpretation of the “Song of the Flea,” Moussorgsky; arias from the opera “Pagliacci,” Leoncavallo, and from “Faust,” by Gounod, and his rendering of the old Somerset folk song, “Lord Rendal.”
Rosing recently made his American debut in Aeolian Hall, and_ immediately won the applause of the large audience and praise of American critics. His recital on Saturday evening, through the courtesy of the Aeolian Company, will be rendered in place of popular music, as announced previously, on the radio-phone program of the Westinghouse Company.
Max Jacobs Again Heads String Quartet
Max Jacobs, the violinist-conductor, is about to reenter the chamber music field with a reorganized string quartet. The personnel of the new organization, to be known as the Max Jacobs String Quartet, will be: Max Jacobs, first violin; _ Hans Meyer, second violin, associated with Mr. Jacobs in his former quartet; Carl Binhack, viola, formerly assistant concertmaster to Seidl and Damrosch and Bernard Altschuler, cello, recently first cellist of the Russian Symphony Orchestra. A series of quartet concerts by this organization will be announced in the near future.
Jollif in Joint Recital with Morini
On December 19, in Lancaster, Pa., Norman Jollif appeared in joint recital with Erika Morini, violinist, before an audience which completely filled the new Fulton Opera House. In commenting on Mr. Jollif’s part in the program the News Journal had the following to say: “Mr. Jollif shared equal honors with the violinist, his program being an unusually happy one, which met with favor with his audience. He brought out the full power and beauty of his voice, winning his hearers from the outset. Particularly noticeable was his excellent diction.” The music critii on the Examiner stated: “Mr. Jollif is a baritone of far higher calibre than is usually found on the concert platform. His songs were rendered with perfect technic, with clear enunciation and in a manner that made an instant hit with the audience. He shared equally with Miss Morini in the applause.”
Fanning Re-engaged for Derby, Conn.
Cecil Fanning, who gave the annual artist’s recital for the Woman’s Club of Derby, Ansonia and Shelton, Conn., last February, has been reengaged by the same organization for a recital in Derby on January 25. On January 24 he will sing the baritone part in Max Bruch’s “Cross of Fire” with the recently organized Hartford Oratorio Society of Hartford, Conn.

Huberman’s Full New Year’s Day
Bronislaw Huberman achieved the unusual distinction of appearing twice on the same day in the same city with two different orchestras, playing two different violin concertos on New Year’s day in New York City.
In the afternoon Mr. Huberman was soloist with the Friends of Music, performing a Spohr concerto, under the direction of Artur Bodanzky. In the evening he was the soloist at Dr. Richard Strauss’ farewell concert at the Hippodrome, playing the Beethoven concerto with the Philharmonic Orchestra.
