Joseph Hollman for Japan
Joseph Hollman, the distinguished Dutch cellist, is nothing if not adventurous. Europe and America are not to remain the only countries to revel in his fine art. He is leaving shortly for Japan on a trip of musical activities as well as recreation. Japan has recently shown considerable interest in the musical lights of the Western World, and she will no doubt welcome one of the greatest cellists before the public.

Dr. Russell is already booking Dupre for a tour during the season of 1923-1924.
