NYIREGYHAZI MEETS HAROLD LLOYD.
While on his first tour of California, the Hungarian pianist visited the comedian1 s studio at Culver City, a suburb of Los Angeles, where the accompaying picture was taken. From' left to right: Merle Armitage, of the Fitzgerald Concert Direction, who managed the pianist’s concert appearances in the West; Nyiregyhazi, and Harold Lloyd, who does not look so familiar without his famous horn-rimmed glasses. The piano roll he is hugging is an arrangement of the Tschaikowshy Flower Valse played by Nyiregyhazi for the Ampico. It is said that at a party given by Harold Lloyd at which many motion picture stars were present, they danced to the rollicksome rhythm of this waltz. In-cidenally a columnyst who heard him play some jazz at a private function in Los Angeles called Nyiregyhazi “the Harold Lloyd of the Piano.”
Enlargement of a photograph taken about 1860. This is one of the finest portraits of Liszt ever made. At the time, he was about fifty years old. Cosima—at that time Frau, von Billow—was born at Lake Como on Christmas Day, 1837. Today, as the widow of Richard Wagner, she is still living at the Villa Wahnfried, Bayreuth, looking forward to the revival of the Bayreuth Festival, which will probably take place in the summer of 1921!.

THE HOME OF GUIOMAR NOVAE S, in the environs of beautiful Sao Paulo, Brazil, Mme. Novaes is here shown at the wheel of her Dodge car, in company with her husband, Senor Pinto, and a friend. The brilliant young pianist is at present touring the United States in concert. She is expected on the Pacific Coast in April, where a series of concerts has been booked for her by L. E. Behymer.
FLORENCE TRUMBULL,
pianist, has been following the recent ski tournaments here and in Canada with great interest because she herself became quite an artist on the long snow-boards last winter while in Switzerland. She believes that outdoor sports are the best nerve-controllers to be had, and the ease and brilliance with ■which she plays the piano before the most critical audiences she credits largely to her love of out-door life. The critics of Paris, London, Berlin and Vienna, not to mention any number of Sioiss cities and smaller music centers of Europe, all unite in active praise of her superb playing. “One thought the mighty d’Albert sat at the piano,” exclaims one writer: Splendid vitality is one of the most marked characteristics of her pianism. Miss Trumbull will give her first Chicago recital in Orchestra Hall, February 11!, under the management of Wessels and Voegeli.
