Thornton Allen Marries Elsie Guy
Thornton Whitney Allen, for several years associated with the editorial staff of the Musical Courier, was married on Saturday afternoon, June 3, to Elsie Guy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Guy of Manchester, England. The ceremony took place at Rye, N. Y., the officiating clergyman being the Rev. Lyman Whitney Allen, father of the groom. The young couple will live at Larchmont, N. Y.
The wedding was in the nature of a surprise for the guests who had been invited to attend a pre-nuptial picnic at Rye, but when they got there the cupboard was by no means bare, for besides the promised picnic, there was the wedding ceremony itself. It had been planned to hold it outdoors, but the rain was unkind, so it was performed in the quarters of the Rye Driving Club. After it was over, the bride and groom mounted horses and started out for a rainy honeymoon—which changed for the better on the second day. The guests were served with a picnic luncheon by Rev. Mrs. Allen. The clubhouse was laden with floral decorations.
Conal O’C. Quirke Pupils Give Recital
On Sunday afternoon, May 28, at Carnegie Hall Chamber Music Hall, a delightful and artistic program was presented by pupils of Conal O’C. Quirke. A rather unusual feature was the presentation of two dramatic sopranos, Milo Miloradovich and Josephine Caka, the former of Russian-Servian descent, and the latter of Bohemian. Both young ladies acquitted themselves admirably and were heartily received. Edith Thayer displayed a brilliant coloratura soprano. Grace Leslie, contralto, with her culture and .finished style, gave several numbers, among them one of her teacher’s compositions, entitled “Your Voice,” earning for herself an abundance of appreciation.
Robert Rhodes, a lyric tenor, of exceptionally sweet quality, gave “Macushla.” The public will hear more of this young man at no distant date. Sarah Campbell, mezzo, was recalled for her singing of “Connais tu le pays” (Mignon), and last but not least, Mr. Montesanto, robust tenor, whom, as Mr. Quirke explained was handicapped by bronchial indisposition, gave a creditable rendition of “Cielo e mar” from “Gioconda.”

INSTITUTE OF MUSICAL
ART COMMENCEMENT
A Large Graduating Class—William Kroll, Margaret Hamilton, Jeannette Glass, Bianca Del Veccio Win Principal Prizes
Aeolian Hall was filled to capacity Thursday evening, June 1, the occasion being the commencement^ exercises of the Institute of Musical Art of the City of New York.
The program opened with Mendelssohn’s “Fingal’s Cave” overture, unusually well rendered by the orchestra of the Institute, conducted by Director Frank Damrosch. The other orchestral number, performed with equal authority and musicianship, was the "Magic Flute” overture, Mozart. Franz Kneisel conducted a concerto for strings by Vivialdi.
There were three soloists—Nora Fauchald, soprano; Margaret Hamilton, piano, and William Kroll, violin—all of whom not only distinguished themselves for the excellence of their work but also reflected unusual credit upon the Institute of Musical Art. Miss Fauchald, who sang charmingly, was heard in an aria from “Der Freischuetz,” Weber. Miss Hamilton’s artistic and highly finished performance of Weber’s “Concertstueck,” op. 9, will be long and pleasantly remembered by all who heard her. Mr. Kroll played Tschaikowsky’s concerto for violin, op. 35, with a mastery rarely encountered in a young artist starting upon his career. His luscious tone, warmth, fire, absolutely reliable technic and musicianship were outstanding features of his performance. It is safe to predict that this young man will reach a high place in the musical world.
Director Damrosch’s address before distributing the diplomas to the graduates was impressive. Those receiving diplomas were:

William Jacob Kroll and Margaret Fownes Hamilton were awarded silver medals for the highest average in the artists
recital at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, May 23. A distinguished audience had gathered in anticipation of the treat in store. Solo numbers by Laura Thompson, Minna Dorn, Mrs. W. H. Harrison, Mary Towsley Pfau, Margaret Powell, Jane Beats and Marion Lindsay brought forward the individual excellence of each singer and brought credit to Mr. Kelly, but the greatest enthusiasm prevailed when his talents as a choral coach were displayed. Twenty-five voices from Mr. Kelly’s class joined in the ensemble groups. There was a singular beauty of attack, tonal shading and phrasing, all tempered by a genuine musicianship.
Commendatory comments followed the recital of Margaret Prall, violinist, pupil of Andre De Ribaupierre and formerly a member of Ysaye’s master class at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Miss Prall’s performance on May 27 disclosed many merits, especially a beautiful tone and admirable finger work. Her bowing was flexible and she accomplished with ease the recognized feats of violin technic.

University of Georgia Engages Granberry
There is such an insistent, widespread and growing demand for professionally trained music teachers that the summer school of the University of Georgia, Athens, Ga., has made plans to institute a special course which will give music teachers professional training. The school has made arrangements with George Folsom Granberry, director of the Granberry Piano School, Carnegie Hall, New York, to give the course in professional training of music teachers. The work is designed to arrange the material of musical education so systematically that the teacher will know where each subject should be introduced, and how to present it most interestingly and developingly. Mr. and Mrs. Cranberry will have charge of the music at the chapel exercises at the university and of the community singing each evening. Mrs. Cranberry will give one or two piano recitals

La Forge Artists Sing for Disabled Veterans
On Sunday afternoon, May 28, the members of the Red Cross Club for Disabled Veterans and their friends enjoyed an interesting program, presented by artist pupils of Frank LaForge, at the clubrooms in East Thirty-ninth Street, New York. The singers were Betty Burr, Anne Jagox and Eleanor Lee; the accompanists, Katherin Kerin and Eleanor Warren. Each singer was heard in two groups of songs, and the delighted audience would fain have heard more had time permitted. Miss Kerin, in addition to her splendid work as accompanist, gave an excellent performance of the popular Rachmaninoff prelude. With only one or two exceptions the entire program was in English—English given with clearness of enunciation and fine diction which is characteristic of La Forge artists. A delightful social hour followed the musicale.
