THE INTERSTATE MALE CHORUS OF WASHINGTON, D. C.,
is composed chiefly of men of the official force of the Interstate Commerce Commission, together with a few men from neighboring departments who have the same musical interests and enthusiasms. The organization was formed several years ago by Clyde B. Aitchison, who is one of the Interstate Commerce Commissioners. In less than three years the club has obtained a repertory of about eighty numbers. The schedule provides three concerts a year, with soloists of giade commensurate with the club’s own high ideals. The popularity of the club has grown so that its second concert of the season on March 8 had to be held in the Masonic Auditorium in Washington instead of in the Interior Department Auditorium, as formerly. The picture shows the club, the conductor, Clyde B. Aitchison, and the two soloists of the season, Mine. Henriette Coquelet, soprano, and (left in the first row) Charles T. Tittmann, basso. Mr. Titt-
mann has been soloist twice with the club.

FAYE FERGUSON,
a young American pianist, who scored a splendid success on February 25 as soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Fritz Reiner. She was heard in the Mendelssohn concerto in G minor, which was performed with the technic, musicianship, delicacy and finish of a mature artist. She received an ovation, and as an encore gave a brilliant performance of Liszt’s La Campanula. Miss Ferguson received her musical education under Mercian Thalberg of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, under whose instruction her progress has been unusual. To quote only one of the Cincinnati critics (Commercial Tribune) :	“Miss Ferguson displayed a highly developed
technic, musical intelligence and a discriminating artistic sense. She is distinctively representative of the achieve-ments of Cincinnati as a musical center.”
