MUSICAL COURIER 62 March 22, 1923 Community House. Elizabeth Aydlette, violinist, a pupil of Alexander Saslavsky, displayed warmth and fluency in the Corelli concerto in D major, and a masculine firmness in the first movement of the Mendelssohn concerto. Henrietta Cornell, soprano, a pupil of Marie Partridge Price, displayed a well-trained, resonant contralto, and a pleasing personality. The accompanist for both was Mabel Marble, a member of Miss Harker’s School of Music faculty. _______ C. W. B. LOS ANGELES PAYS FINE TRIBUTE TO PADEREWSKI Degree of Doctor of Laws Conferred on Him in Recognition of Artistry and Statesmanship—San Carlo Company in Its Second Week—Symphony Presents Theo Karle Los Angeles, Cal., February 24.—Paderewski was welcomed in Los Angeles by an immense audience and its applause proved that the mystic spell ever cast by this artist has not been broken by his absence. His reception amounted to an ovation. But the event of most significance and gratification was the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Laws on the artist by the University of Southern California. It was bestowed Thursday morning in the presence of a distinguished assemblage in^ Bovard Auditorium. This signal honor was conferred in recognition of his immortal art and accomplishment as a statesman who piloted his country through a great crisis. An impressive processional of faculty members headed by Rufus B. von Kleinsmid, president of the University, and Mr. Paderewski, marched to the Auditorium accompanied by the University Band. An elaborate musical program preceded the ceremonies. Two of the San Carlo artists, Tamaki Miura and Alice Gentle, furnished part of the program. San Carlo Crowds Philharmonic Auditorium a Second Week. The second week of the San Carlo Opera Company’s engagement has continued the success of the first. The ballet used during the engagement has been trained entirely by Mme. Matildita, of this city, and is the work of her studio. It has added greatly to the interest and variety of the performances. The Dance of the Hours, incorporated in the production of La Gioconda, was no exception, being arranged in charming fashion. The usual cast gave its fine interpretation of the score. Butterfly was repeated with the same cast and deepened the impression already made. This was the only repetition made during the stay. The Jewels of the Madonna and Faust were much enjoyed, but the most popular and successful evening was the double bill: Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci. Every seat was sold and hundreds turned away. A performance of Lohengrin and one of Carmen in Pasadena closed the engagement. By reason of the excellent support given this company, another visit is expected from them in the future. Theo Karle as Soloist. Theo Karle was soloist with the symphony at the popular concert last Sunday, when Director Rothwell presented an all-Wagner program worthy to rank with the regular symphony evenings. Mr. Karle is a favorite here and his solos were enjoyed. Q. C. PACIFIC NORTHWEST DIRECTORY A RMSTRONG, FRANCIS J. Violinist-Teacher-Conductor. The McKelvey, 1519 Third Ave., Seattle.

The program was given variety by two violin numbers by Elizabeth Onsum, pupil of Maurice Leplat, who played in her usual charming manner White’s Negro Spiritual and the Valse-Bluette by Drigo-Auer. Lilian Schoenberg sang Chadwick’s Thou Art So Like a Flower and White’s An Open Secret, giving the lyrics their full significance and beauty in a clear soprano voice which is rapidly reaching a high degree of excellence under the coaching of Jacques Jou-Jerville. Ruth Gordon, a young Chicago girl who is studying piano under the tutelage of Lois Adler, gave an artistic rendition of Cyril Scott’s Lento and Palmgren’s En Route. Because of traffic conditions due to the recent storms, the song recital by Carl Grantvoort was postponed from February 15 to February 20. Mr. Gantvoort presented a program of unusually wide scope and generous proportions, in the Cornish Little Theater. He is the son of A. J. Gantvoort, dean of the Cornish School. Twenty Cornish students were booked through Miss Cowan’s Concert Bureau during February, for programs in Seattle and vicinity. Among them were: February 5, Catherine Anderson, American Legion (reading) ; February 5, Loma Roberts and Barbara Eschbach, Seattle Women’s Club; February 6, Annette Kelley, at Plymouth Congregational Church banquet (reading) ; February 10, Gertrude Tenney, Ruth Richardson, James Dobbs, Alice Muench, at Sunset Club, Seattle; February 13, Elizabeth Choate and Frances Williams, at Mrs. Ostrander’s, in Seattle. The musical public is surely awakening to the fact that not only is the Cornish School able to produce artistic programs, but also may be depended upon whenever an engagement is booked. If for any reason an artist student finds it impossible to fulfil an engagement, Miss Cowan is ready with another choice and sees to it that every avenue of disappointment to an audience is successfully closed. PALO ALTO APPLAUDS LOCAL MUSICIANS Palo Alto, Cal., March 9.—A novel program of dramatic readings with musical settings drew a large audience to the Community House. Latham True, assisted by Mrs. Latham True, Martin D’Andrea and Marjorie McDonald, gave an original musical interpretation of Oscar Wilde’s The Young King. Dr. True’s music was colorful and appropriate. D’Andrea’s voice is always appealing. Marjorie McDonald was the competent accompanist. The Fortnightly Music Club, meeting with Alice Kimball, enjoyed a Brahms and Schumann evening. The Brahms quartet for piano and strings, op. 34, and the Schumann Ausschwung received notable interpretations. Grieg’s F major sonata for violin and piano was also well rendered. Mrs. E. C. Franklin, Alice Kimball, Sara Bibby-Brown, Inez Cross and Mrs. Elliott Blackwelder were the participants. Three local musicians contributed the last program at the SAN FRANCISCO WELCOMES SAN CARLO OPERA COMPANY Week of Notable Performances Enjoyed—Last Civic “Pop” Successful—Philine Falco 111—Notes San Francisco, Cal., March 8.—On February 26 the San Carlo Opera Company opened its two weeks’ season at the Curran Theater with Madame Butterfly. Rigoletto was sung the second night, with Martha as the matinee offering of the next day, followed, in the evening, by a fine presentation of Aida. It was one of the best performances heard here in many days. Anna Fitziu and Sophie Charlebois shared honors in an excellent performance of La Boheme with Baldrich, de Bias¡, Valle and Cervi. The best liked performance of the entire week was that of Carmen. Lohengrin and II Trovatore brought the first week’s repertory to a close. Mr. Gallo is to be congratulated upon the high efficiency of his company. Civic “Pop” Season Closes. The fifth and last “pop” concert under the direction of civic officials was given in the Civic Auditorium by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, March 3, with Efrem Zim-balist as guest artist. Mr. Zimbalist played the Mendelssohn concerto for violin and orchestra and also the Hava-naise, by Saint-Saëns and Waltz Caprice, by Saint-Saens-Ysaye. For the latter number he was accompanied by Harry Kaufmann. Under Mr. Hertz, the orchestra played Liszt’s Les Preludes, in which Warren D. Allen appeared as organist, and Massenet’s Alsatian Scenes, in which Walter Ferner, cellist, and H. B. Crandall, clarinetist, played the obligatos. The Tschaikowsky overture, 1812, closed the concert. The splendid attendance proved that the series have been a great success and also that the orchestra is held in high esteem by the populace. Notes. Jack^ Edward Hillman presented several of his advanced pupils in the Hotel Stockton. The San Francisco Music Teachers’ Association held its regular monthly meeting on February 26. A Wagnerian program was directed by Nellie Strong Stevenson. Alvina Heurer Wilson gave an interesting address. Owing to the sudden indisposition of Feline Falco, contralto of the Cosi Fan Tutti cast, Jessica Colbert was forced to cancel the three performances of Mozart’s comic opera which she had booked here. Mrs. Colbert is now negotiating with William Wade Hinshaw to bring the company back here at a later date. Miss Falco is in a local hospital and it is hoped by her coterie of friends here that she will soon be fully recovered. C. H. A. Cornish School Notes An interesting program of a general nature was provided by the Cornish School, February 19. Annette Kelley, reader, a pupil of Lydia Fonnesbeck, presented acceptably a one-act comedy, No Smoking, by Benavente, and a clever one-act satire, Her Tongue, by Sir Arthur Jones.
