nating explanations of each section of the composition, illustrated by the orchestra. Mr. Gabrilowitsch is an entertaining talker, with a keen sense of humor and the faculty of presenting to a lay audience in a lucid, entertaining manner, the results of his own serious study. The audience left the hall feeling that not only had it a clearer idea of the work of Richard Strauss, but also that it had come in personal touch with a man of keen intelligence, poetic insight and lofty aspirations.
Die Walküre Heard.
Saturday evening, December 9, the Detroit Grand Opera Association, Mrs. Charles F. Hammond manager, presented the United States Opera Company, Andreas Dippel director general, m_ Wagner’s Die Walküre, at Orchestra Hall. A goodly audience foregathered to hear an excellent performance of the opera. Much had been promised and to a great extent the promises were fulfilled. All of the principals received favorable comment, the Sieglinde of Helen Stanley being especially well spoken of. The opera proved to be the swan song of the company, which, like its predecessor, the Interstate Opera Company, had a short artistically successful but financially disastrous career. Much has been said and somewhat unjustly, of Detroit’s failure to support thé undertaking. There arc always wheels within wheels, of course, and it is difficult to place blame in a case of this kind. Although the venture received liberal support from many who were willing to gamble on it, the fact remains that, at its present musical status, there are many who feel that the orchestra is quite enough for the city to finance at present and that the orchestra should be put upon a firm financial basis before other things are attempted.
Mme. Clemens Gives Fourth Recital.
.Monday evening, December 11, at Memorial Hall, Clara Clemens gave the fourth recital in her series representing the development of song.^ Her first group was composed of songs by Sibelius, Lie,_ Rangstrom and Sjogren, her second of five songs by Grieg and her last two groups by Brahms. With a charming personality and attractive stage appearance, Mme. Clemens brings to her work unusual intelligence and musicianship and succeeds in making each song a picture in itself. The audience was most responsive, several songs had to be repeated and encores were also given. The work of Michael Raucheisen added materially to the enjoyment of the evening. Such impeccable accompaniments are. always a delight both to singer and audience, a fact which Mme. Clemens intimated by insisting that he share the applause with her.
Orpheus Club at Orchestra Hall.
Tuesday evening, December 12, the Orpheus Club of men’s voices, Charles Frederic Morse director, gave the first concert of its twenty-second season at Orchestra Hall, with Ethyl Hayden, soprano, as soloist. The work of the club wa? ,of ¿ts usual standard. It is an organization of which Detroit is justly proud. The numbers sung by the club included an Irish folk song, with incidental solo by Dr. George K. Bolender, and Music When Soft Voices Die (Dickinson), sung in memory of Philip H. Gray, a former member of the club, whose death occurred recently.
Ethyl Hayden is the possessor of a beautiful voice, which she uses with taste and discretion. She contributed two groups of songs and sang the solo in Kremser’s Hymn to the Madonna; she also graciously added encores to the numbers on the program. Harriet J. Ingersoll was the accompanist for the club, performing her work as usual in an artistic manner. Helen Burr-Brand, harpist, assisted in the Kremser number.
Isa Kremer in Folk Song Recital
The Detroit Concert Direction, Isobel J. Hurst manager presented Isa Kremer in a recital at Orchestra Hall, December 19. She proved in no sense the conventional concert singer but was vastly entertaining for all that. Her program was most unusual, consisting of Jewish, Rumanian, Russian, French and Italian ballads. These were delivered with dramatic fervor, facial play and gesture. They were vital, unhackneyed and interesting. Kurt Hertzel, pianist was her accompanist and also contributed three solos.
Tuesday Musicale Hears Unusual Program
Friday evening, December IS, the members of the Tuesday _ Musicale and their friends were the guests of the president, Mrs. Frederic B. Stevens, at Memorial Hall On this occasion, Mrs. Hezekiah Moffatt Gillett of Bay City, assisted by Mrs. Joseph Michaelson of Grand Rapids, and Thelma Newell, violinist, of Detroit, gave a recital of child lyrics composed by Mrs. Moffatt. They were deliciously whimsical with an occasional moral slyly tucked in. The children, of whom there were many present, both old and young, had a very entertaining evening. Lantern slides illustrating some of the songs added to the pleasure Mrs. Michaelson entered into the spirit and sang the songs with keen appreciation of their possibilities. Thelma Newell played obligatos for several of the songs and the composer presided at the piano.	J. M_

DETROIT SYMPHONY IN
MIDST OF BUSY SEASON
Reinald Werrenrath on Wagner Program—Other Concerts by the Orchestra—Public Rehearsal Given—Die Walkiire Heard—Mme. Clemens Gives Fourth Recital—
Orpheus Club at Orchestra Hall, Ethyl Hayden Soloist—Isa Kremer in Folk Song Recital —Tuesday Musicale Hears Unusual Program
. Detroit, Mich., December 29.—The fifth pair of subscription concerts, given by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra at Orchestra Hall, December 14 and 15, presented a program of good contrast. Opening with the overture to Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, the lovely Schubert symphony in B minor (unfinished) followed. The Strauss tone poem, Ein Heldenleben, was presented for the first time in Detroit. 1 he beauties of Mozart and Schubert were skilfully portrayed. In contrast to the simplicity of these came the Strauss number, with its intricate orchestration and its involved harmonies. The orchestra, augmented for this number, rose gallantly to the exigencies of the occasion and adequately supported the conductor in his splendid reading of this difficult score. Mr. Gabrilowitsch and his men were applauded to the echo.
Reinald Werrenrath on Wagner Program.
The sixth pair of subscription concerts, given December 28 and 29, presented a Wagner program, with Reinald Werrenrath as soloist. The occasion was an interesting one in that it was the anniversary of Mr. Gabrilowitsch’s first appearance with the orchestra as guest conductor, when he showed unmistakably that he was the conductor Detroit wanted. A laurel wreath, presented by the directors of the society, rested at the conductor’s desk throughout the evening. It bore a broad red ribbon on which was inscribed: ‘Ossip Gabrilowitsch, December 28-29, 1917-1922.” During intermission, Rabbi Leo M. Franklin presented a handsome silver service to Mr. Gabrilowitsch and spoke of the splendid achievement in the fiye years that he had conducted the orchestra. Mr. Gabrilowitsch replied in humorous vein. He said that he hoped to remain in Detroit, but that though conductors may come and conductors may go, the orchestra should be a permanent asset in the city’s life. The program was well chosen and beautifully rendered. Both Mr. Gabrilowitsch and his men seemed inspired and the Love-Death reached heights of sublimity that were thrilling. The overtures to The Flying Dutchman, Lohengrin, The Master-singers and Tannhäuser, together with the Ride of the Valkyrie and the Prelude and Love-Death from Tristan and Isolde were the orchestral numbers. Mr. Werrenrath sang Wotan’s Greeting to Walhalla, from Das Rheingold; Wotan’s Sentence upon Briinnhilde, from Die Walkiire; Wotan’s Reply to Mime, from Siegfried, and Wolfram’s Song to the Evening Star, from Tannhäuser. He was in fine voice and sang magnificently.
Other Concerts by the Orchestra.
For the popular concert, Sunday afternoon, December 17, conducted by Victor Kolar, Inez Barbour was the soloist. The program for the most part was in lighter vein, opening with the overture to The Bartered Bride, by Smetana. Other orchestral numbers were by Ravel, Liadoff, Halversen, Johann Strauss and Massenet. Mme. Barbour sang Agatha’s aria, Wie nahte mir der Schlummer, from Der Freischutz (Weber), and Le Tasse by Godard, orchestrated by Henry Hadley. Judging by the applause, the audience was very much pleased with the work of both soloist and orchestra.
The third concert for young people was given Saturday morning, December 16, at Orchestra Hall. The program was from the romantic period, Charles Frederic Morse, as usual, talked briefly, clearly and entertainingly, and Victor Kolar conducted the orchestra in numbers by Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Liszt.
During the week of December 18 the orchestra gave concerts in Urbana and Bloomington, 111., and Kansas City, Mo.
Public Rehearsal Given.
Wednesday afternoon, December 13, the patrons of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra were invited to a public rehearsal of Richard Strauss’ tone poem, Ein Heldenleben.
To an audience that filled Orchestra Hall, Mr. Gabrilowitsch gave interesting and amusing anecdotes of the composer and had pages of the score thrown on the screen, and, by contrast, a page of Schubert’s symphony. He also gave illumi-
