at Memorial Hall, by the Cincinnati branch of the Central Jewish Relief Committee for the benefit of war sufferers in Europe. A number of professional musicians volunteered their services. It was a pleasing affair.
An organ recital was given on March 13, in the Odeon, by Lillian Arkell Rixford, of the College of Music faculty. Miss Rixford has proven in the past that she possesses uncommon ability in this art, and again gave a fine demonstration of her talent, which was in all respects gratifying.	W. W.

Lucrezia Bori with Rubinstein Club
In the thirty-five years in which it has been an important factor in the musical life of New York, the Rubinstein Club, Mrs. William Rogers Chapman president, has established for itself a remarkably high standard in the matter of interesting programs. But it is doubtful whether that organization ever presented a program which gave more pleasure with its sheer charm than that which was given on Tuesday evening, March 28, by Lucrezia Bori, soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, assisted by Kola Levienne, cellist, and Wilfried Pelletier, at the piano.
It was a costume recital and each time she appeared winsome Mile. Bori seemed more fascinating than ever. A group of French songs—“Jean ne ment pas” (Armand), “N’effeuil lez pas les marguerites” (Bernard), and “On a beau dire” (Pouget)—had a costume of 1830, and Venetian costume of 1700 was worn for the group in Italian—“La pavana” (de Leva), “Caro caro il mio bambin” (Guarnieri), and “Invito alia danza” (Respighi). For her English group, she chose “When Love Is Kind” (Moore), “Oft Have I Sighed” (Campion) and “The Forsaken Maid” (Smart), and wore a costume of 1725. But after all, it was in her native Spanish songs, garbed in a picturesque Goya costume, that she won her greatest success. “La maja de rumbo” (Penella), “El majo discrete»” (Granados) and “El Reli-cario” (Padilla) called forth tumultuous applause which brought her again and again to the platform and won for her audience additional numbers.
Mr. Levienne gave two groups, which included the Chopin nocturne in E flat, the “Papillon” of Popper, air by Bach, and a scherzo by Kleugel. His tone was big and firm and his interpretations well conceived.
After the program, the guests formed in line for the grand march, which was led by Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, after which there was general dancing until an early—in the morning—hour.

CINCINNATI MUSIC EVENTS PROVE FEWER DURING LENTEN SEASON
Eighth Popular Concert by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra —John F. Braun Soloist—Notes
Cincinnati, Ohio, March 14, 1922.—The mid-lenten season is here and the number of musical events the past week have not been of great moment. However, there will be several notable events before the close of March. _ The most noteworthy concert of recent date^ was the eighth popular concert to be given by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at Music Hall on March 12. Under the direction of Eugene Ysaye, the program was especially enjoyed by a large audience, as the director and members of the orchestra were in high spirits after a successful^ out of town concert trip. The opening number was the “Zampa” overture, by Herold, which was received with pleasure. This was followed by Vincent d’lndy’s arrangement of Rubinstein’s well known “Melody in F,” for the string section, which was indeed a musical delight. The Spanish suite, “La Verbena,” of Paul Lacome, full of life and sparkling with tunes of old Spain, brought the first part of the program to a close. The ever tuneful overture, "Morning, Noon, Night,” by Suppe, was the first number on the second part. The “Valse Triste,” by Sibelius, brought forth vociferous applause, it being one of the most popular numbers played. The closing number, Liszt’s second Hungarian rhapsody, was rendered in the usual brilliant manner by the orchestra. The soloist at the concert was John F. Braun of Philadelphia who possesses a tenor voice of fine quality. He sang Handel’s recitative, "Comfort Ye My People,” and the aria, “Every Valley Shall Be Exalted,” which were well done. His singing of the “Spring Song” aria from Wagner’s “The Valkyrie,” was a gem, which was graciously responded to with his singing of the “Carnival” for an encore. The concert was of־ pleasiftg variety.	___________________________
