Mildred Wellerson in Europe
Mildred Wellerson, the gifted cellist, who stirred American audiences by her finished art, sailed for Europe last August 3 (1921) with the sole purpose of continuing her studies abroad. Recent reports state that she scored a tremendous success on May 28 when she appeared in Paris as soloist with the Colonne Orchestra, Gabriel Pierne, conductor. Little Mildred was at once proclaimed an artist par excellence. Mr. Pierne, it is said, expressed a desire to have her again next season, and wrote in Mildred’s album as follows:	“In remembrance of a most excellent inter-
pretation of a God gifted artist.”
The young artist has been engaged as soloist for one of the Pasdeloup concerts in the fall. This exceptionally gifted child, who is just twelve years old, is still studying with her mother (her only teacher), who is likewise a cellist of remarkable ability and was a favorite pupil of Julius Klengel and Anton Hekking.
Spotz and Erb Give Recitals
Margaret Spotz, originally a pupil of May I. Ditto and now of Kate S. Chittenden, dean of the American Institute of Applied Music, New York, gave a piano recital at ¡headquarters June 12, playing works^ by Scriabin,_ Palm-gren, D’lndy, Reger, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Liszt and Chabrier. A fine audience heard and applauded all she did, for the young girl has most unusual talent, combined with warm expression.
J. Lawrence Erb, managing director of the institute, gav״e an organ recital in the First Presbyterian Church of Youngstown, Ohio, June 16, when he played principally modern compositions, including some by Rheinberger, Faulkes, Renaud, Guilmant, Bizet, Verdi, and the Americans, Marion A. Dunn, Stebbins ־ and Kinder. The programs themselves were unique and tasteful.
Spanish-American Folk Songs Presented
An unusual program, representing creative work of the Dominant Club of Los Angeles, Cal., was recently performed at the Ebell Club House. One of the groups consisted of four early Spanish-Californian folk songs harmonized and set for voice and piano by pertrude Ross. The numbers were splendidly sung by Annis Howell, with Gertrude Ross at the piano.
Amy Neill Soloist with Sir. Henry Wood
Amy Neill has been engaged as soloist^ with the Queen’s Hall Orchestra, Sir Henry Wood conducting, on August 24.

Facts About Charles Wakefield Cadman
Charles Wakefield Cadman, American composer-pianist, has done more than perhaps any other composer to educate the public to the beauty of Indian folk music and music built on Indian themes. Not that Cadman is a composer of Indian music alone, for he has over 300 published works to his credit which include pieces for piano, organ, violin and cello; four grand operas, and scores of songs and choral compositions which have become well known.
He recently purchased a home in Hollywood, and intends to spend the entire summer composing songs and part songs for two or more voices. This work has been neglected for the past two years, during which time he has composed “The Witch of Salem,” a grand opera as yet unproduced. His opera “Shanewis” was successfully produced at the Metropolitan in New York for two consecutive seasons, but Mr. Cadman feels that the “Witch” will have a far wider appeal, dealing as it does with the early history of our own country.
Mr. Cadman’s popularity is not alone in his own State, where usually a prophet is without honor, but in every State in the Union. There are no fewer than ten Cadman musical clubs and several Cadman trios and choral clubs stretching from Portland, Ore., to Worcester, Mass., and down to Jacksonville, Fla. He received a letter from Mis-

sissippi recently saying that another club had been born and christened “Cadman.”	, , .,
The University of Southern California has added Mr. Cadman to its faculty for the coming season, during which time he will deliver three lectures, taking as his subjects “Public School Music,” “Indian Music and Its־ Influence, and “The Problems of the American Composer. Mr. Cadman is noted for his enthusiasm and the splendid work he has done in behalf of the junior clubs in the State Federation of Music Clubs, of which he is the chairman of education, and has carried that department further than ever before in its history.
He will tour the United States in concert next season, beginning in Boston in October, and appearing on the Pacific Coast in January and February. As his joint artist he has the Pricess Tsianina, a Cherokee Indian girl, who was born in Oklahoma and who has a splendid mezzo soprano voice. She has been recognized as one of the foremost interpreters of Indian songs.
Hagar’s Wilkes-Barre Appearance a Success
Emily Stokes Hagar appeared recently as soloist with the Concordia Society, of Wilke-Barre, ^ and that she created an excellent impression is proven in the appended letter which the soprano received from Adolph Hansen, conductor of the society:
20 Mallevy Place, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,
June 19, 1922.
My dear Mrs. Hagar:
Your first appearance in this city was certainly a great success. You had your audience with you right after the first number, which was unusual, as our audiences are rather cold at first.
For the two numbers with soprano obligato I want to pay you my special compliment and tell you frankly that I could not have found any one who would equal you in them.
The critics spoke in the highest terms of your work and 1 have no doubt that you soon will have a call for a return engagement to our city.	.
Yours very sincerely,
(Signed) Adolph Hansen.
