MUSIC ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE
Annie Louise David, harpist, and others to be announced later. Miss Cornish returned by way of the southwest and California, where she was made the honor guest of many social and musical affairs, and reports much interest from the musical profession of this part of the country in the forthcoming summer school season.
_ An interesting program recently given by the Music Practice Club, which is studying the works of American composers this year, was devoted entirely to home talent, when works by Amy Worth, Marian Coryell, Hope Turner and Kathleen Codings were rendered. Hope Turner and Kathleen Codings are students in piano and compositions under Miss Coryell, and their efforts reflected favorably upon the great talent of their teacher. The works of both Miss Coryell and Mrs. Worth are well known locally, and counted among the best efforts in creative work in the city.
Elizabeth Richmond Miller entertained in her studio at the McKelvey in an afternoon musicale, followed by tea. A large number of Mrs. Miller’s students rendered numbers which were wed received by the guests present.
Among the students of Miss A. L. Trent who have accepted positions as soloists in Seattle churches are Jack Kelliher and Mrs. J. S. Calwell.
Sarah Yeagley has returned from a short trip to Los Angeles, and is again busily occupied with her large class of piano students.
Recent artists who have attracted capacity houses here are Percy Grainger, who made his initial appearance in Seattle, and who won immediate favor; Galli-Curci, who is always a great favorite with the local people; Reinald Werrenrath, who holds a particular place in popular favor; Sophie Braslau, Selim Palmgren, and the San Carlo Grand Opera Company.

Large Audience Hears Edward Johnson in San Francisco
During the San Francisco run of the Chicago Opera Association, Edward Johnson gave quite a treat. He sang at one of the band concerts in Golden Gate Park to an audience that is said to have numbered at least 15,000 people. These concerts have been a feature of Golden Gate Park for years, and perhaps are one of the things that have fostered music in San Francisco. It was always a big audience, for the concerts are invariably good, and when it was announced that Edward Johnson of the Chicago Opera would sing the audience even increased in size. One of the songs selected by Mr. Johnson for this occasion was Arthur A. Penn’s “Sunrise and You,” with which his name has been so closely associated since he made the Victor record of this song. In spite of the fact that these concerts are held outdoors, every one could hear every word, for the band stand is so built and the acoustics are so good, and above all, Mr. Johnson’s diction and delivery are so excellent, that
while, and it,has the sincere love and respect of every musical organization of the city; it has but to announce a plan in order to enlist the entire strength of musical Seattle.
Harry Krinke presented six of his advanced pupils in an interesting studio recital on, March 2 in a program made up of numbers by Chopin, Liszt, Schubert, Saint-Saëns and several of the modern composers, which were excellently rendered by Gertrude Erickson, Alice Gasser, Cecilia Michaud, Bernadine Giddons, Alva Parker and Walter Morgan. Mr. Krinke’s pupils always give evidence of their excellent training, and the audience was appreciative of their efforts.
Mrs. Israel Nelson, contralto, and Hattie Edenholm Carlson, pianist, gave a joint recital at the First Swedish Baptist Church recently. The program was of excellent construction, and enthusiastically received by the audience.
Alexine Whisnant, one of the new members of the Cornish School faculty, was heard in a piano recital on March 28 when she rendered a prelude in E minor of Mendelssohn; theme and variations, F major, of Beethoven; some of the smaller works of Schumann, a nocturne of Chopin, and the same composer’s ballade, op. 47. She plays with excellent technical facility and splendid intellectual grasp. Miss Whisnant, who came to Seattle from Chicago last fall, has, in addition to her teaching work at the Cornish School, been coaching with Calvin B. Cady, the distinguished pedagogue who has charge of the normal work at the Cornish School.
Bernhard Perboner presented a large class of violin students at the auditorium of the Y. W. C. A. on March 27. The auditorium was completely filled with an audience which was enthusiastic over the work of these young students.
Mabelle Darud, a young miss of twelve, who is a promising student of piano under Marie Gashweiler, presented rather an ambitious program at the Fine Arts rooms, as a benefit concert for the King County Humane Society, on March 25.
Frances Tanner, violinist, and John Hopper, pianist, have concluded a short tour of the northwest during which they appeared in joint recitals.
Two interesting Sunday afternoon studio musicales were those given by students of Bessie Moore Brannen and May-belle Brannen, March 18 and 25.
Kirk Towns has moved his studio into more commodious quarters at 505, the McKelvey. Frank Meeker and Dewey Washington, two advanced students under Mr. Towns, have been appearing in many local concerts with success.
Nellie C. Cornish has returned from her annual trip to New York and other eastern centers and has announced her artists for the summer school at the Cornish. These include Adolph Bolm, the distinguished dancer and master of ballet productions; Sergei Klibansky, the well known master of vo;ce; Cornelius Van Vliet, the distinguished cellist;

SEATTLE MUSIC NOTES
Cornish School Graduate in Recital—Ladies’ Musical Club Holds Reunion Luncheon
Seattle, Wash., April 4.—The last in the series of chamber music concerts, which have been given during the season under the auspices of the Musical Arts Society, was rendered on the morning of March 8, when the Claud Madden Instrumental Ensemble gave delightful performances of the trio by Wolf-Ferrari, the Dvorak “Terzetto” for two violins and viola, and Henry Hadley’s tuneful quintet. So much success has been attained in the giving of this series, both artistically and financially, that the Musical Arts Society has already announced its intention of repeating the series next season. In addition to offering an opening for appearances for many of the leading local artists, these concerts have given opportunity to the large musical public of Seattle to become familiar with chamber music which has heretofore had but infrequent hearing.
Iris Canfield, artist pupil of George Kirchner, who is head of the cello department of the Cornish School and of the fine arts department of the University of Washington, was heard in her graduation recital at Meany Hall on the evening of March 9. She was assisted by Rita Medin, soprano. Miss Canfield chose for her numbers a sonata for cello and piano by Saint-Saëns, concerto in E minor by Popper, and some lighter numbers of charm. Miss Canfield has very sure and fluent technic, with which she combines a musical understanding that is comparable with artists of greater experience. Arville Belstad was the accompanist.
Winifred Bateman, a gifted violin pupil of John Spargur, was presented in recital by her instructor recently at the Fine Arts Hall. Miss Bateman revealed exceptionally fine technical training and intelligent grasp in her interpretations. She rendered the Saint-Saëns concerto in B minor, the Bach chaconne and Nardini’s E minor concerto, in all of which she was quite at ease.
One of the most interesting events of the past few weeks was that of the reunion luncheon given by the Ladies’ Musical Club at the New Washington Hotel, at which about one hundred guests were present. Probably no influence has been of greater power in the upbuilding of an appreciative musical audience in Seattle than this club, which is now working in its thirty-first year, and the remarkable part of its history is in the fact that its efforts through all these years have been largely in the hands of a small coterie of leaders. It has distinguished itself in having presented over one hundred first magnitude stars in recital; it has brought all of the great symphony orchestras of the country which have been on tour, and has furnished several scholarships for students who are now making themselves known in the musical world. The club has always placed its strength behind those things which were counted worth
