2,000 welcomed her after an absence of several years. She scored an unqualified success, and in reviewing the concert in the Milwaukee Sentinel, Catherine Pannill Mead said:	“Miss Peege’s is a voice of great warmth, deep and
ringing in the lower register and unusually powerful in the higher tones. Her diction is perfect, every word being distinct without the least exaggeration. Moreover, she has a charming stage presence and a nice feeling for values in presenting her numbers.”
Miss Peege’s appearances in Madison, Green Bay and Racine were equally successful, and in an article headed “Miss Peege in Recital Gets Ovation Here,” the Capital Times, of Madison, lavished praise on the singer’s work.

MUSICAL COURIER
who studies his effects.” The Musical Courier of December 8 printed the following commendation: “Howard Green delighted all in Chopin’s waltz in C sharp minor, the sensitive and refined music echoing his own personality.” The Cameo Club (a literary club composed of leading New Yorkers) on November 17, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, engaged him as soloist, and he played there with fine effect, receiving the special thanks of the club, tendered through the president. A special concert given at the school headquarters December 15 brought Mr. Greet! this praise, as printed in a musical weekly: “He played with accuracy and truly romantic sentiment Chopin’s waltz.” He also appeared in Brooklyn at a concert early in November and was there loudly praised for his playing, a press notice saying:	“He stirred the audience greatly with his
brilliant performance.” At a private recital held in January he was the only pianist, playing pieces by Chopin, Liszt and other modern composers, and again won all hearers by his performance. It is safe to prognosticate a fine future for Howard S. Green, who combines in unusual degree the qualities necessary to attain eminence in the musical, world.”

ONE of the BEST TENORS BEFORE the PUBLIC

Howard S. Green a Pianist and Interpreter
Butler, Pa., must have good instructors¡ for it was there that Howard S. Green began his music, which in due course led to his visiting New York in search of further development. He registered at the New York School of Music and Arts (Ralfe Leech Sterner founder and director) and was enrolled with the pupils of Arthur Friedheim, head of the piano department and well known exponent of Liszt. When Mr. Friedheim went to Toronto, Professor Riesberg (fellow student with Friedheim under Liszt) succeeded him and young Mr. Green thereupon became his pupil.
Five months’ study in the metropolis with the splendid advantages enjoyed by all students in the New York School of Music and Arts, left its impress on the ambitious young musician. At the school he heard regular weekly recitals, participating as soloist in many of them, and attended re-cials by the world’s greatest artists visiting New York. All this had undoubted influence in building Howard S. Green’s musical life, and he was quick to profit by it.
Having a mentality_ quite beyond the ordinary, a thinker and a reader, delving into the depths of musical knowledge, he developed a poise and assurance altogether unusual. Somewhere, somehow, there arose in him the desire to excel, and to this end he put forth effort seldom witnessed, for he worked with persistence, application, ambition and daily concentration.
As a result he has attained high position, for such true devotion to music must produce results. It did, if one may judge by various notices appearing in musical journals of New \ ork. One of October 13 refers to him as an earnest young pianist, whose poise and climaxes in Liszt s ‘La Campanella’ were warmly applauded.” Another, of November 10, said: “Howard S. Green’s playing of the big prelude by Rachmaninoff displayed clean-cut technic and ability most unusual in one so young. He got most exciting effects, including the famous two-hand trill, out of a Liszt piece; he is a careful, planful player,

Althouse Excels/or Orpheus Club
Great Tenor, in Magnificent Voice, Is Greeted with Enthusiasm
Mr. Althouse sang first the famous aria from Gounod’s “Faust,” and the first notes were enough to show that his contribution to the evening’s pleasure was to be munificent and superb. NATURE ENDOWED HIM WITH A GORGEOUS VOICE.
A good tone production does not at all interfere with Mr. Althouse’s ability to put over English words with great fluency and clearness.—Springfield (Mass.) Daily Republican, Dec. 16, 1921.
Althouse in Fine Voice
He has never been in more complete possession of his extraordinary vocal powers than last night. He seemed to sing with greater freedom and with a more eloquent earnestness than before. He gave the foreign group with the facility of THE FINISHED AND EXPERIENCED ARTIST.
WHEN AN ALL-AMERICAN ARTIST LIKE ALTHOUSE SCORES 100 PER CENT. IT IS TIME FOR ALL GOOD AMERICANS TO GET UP AND CHEER HIS ACHIEVEMENTS.— Springfield Union, Dec. 16, 1921.
MR. ALTHOUSE, unquestionably one of the best tenors before the public. His voice is ringing, vibrant, of pure tenor quality, and he employs it with the assurance that comes only with full mastery of vocal powers.
Mr. Althouse varied the time honored procedure of recitalists in assembling his program. There were no familiar or unfamiliar ancient airs to begin with, dull or less dull, as it might befall. The singer put his best foot forward at the outset. His first group, made up of two French songs—one of them by a Russian composer—and three Italian songs, was uncommonly attractive. It was not weighty music. BUT IT WAS ENGAGING MUSIC. AND IT WAS BEAUTIFULLY SUNG.—Cleveland Plain Dealer— James Rogers, Dec. 10, 1921.
Famous Tenor Pleases at Recital
Althouse Shows Terrific Force Behind Beautiful Voice, Which Is Used with Rare Discriminating Value
ALTHOUSE is essentially an artistic singer in any vehicle that he attacks and he interprets everything to his own purpose. Althouse says that he prefers the song and recital platform to opera; but his singing of the Massenet’s “Manon” aria was of the stuff THAT GREAT METROPOLITAN STARS ARE MADE OF.—Cleveland News—Archie Bell, Dec. 10, 1921.
