Mary Browne a Success in America
Mary Browne, mezzo-soprano, whose recent concert at Aeolian Hall met with such unmitigated success, gave another recital in New London, Conn., on Tuesday evening, March 20, to a large and admiring audience. Her program consisted of various groups of German and English songs, including the works of Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Josten, and more modern compositions by Campbell Tipton, Grainger, Carl Deis (who played her accompaniments at both recitals) and Deems Taylor. The quality of her voice and the charm of her personality elicited many kindly criticisms from the various newspapers, particular stress being

“Marie Tiffany Delights”—Again!
Practically every reviewer of Marie Tiffany’s concerts on her tour prior to rejoining the Metropolitan Opera Company has used the same phrase to describe her recitals—• delight, delights, delightful, delightfully, the only variation

being in the sentence structure. From Helena, Mont., comes a clipping with a large headline, “Marie Tiffany Delights Capital City’s• People.”
“Miss Tiffany,” says the critic, in the course of a long eulogy, “presented a thoroughly delightful program in a thoroughly delightful manner. Not only is she the possessor of a wonderfully beautiful voice, but she has a stage presence which is most pleasing and which won for her the instant approval and intense interest of her audience even before she had finished her first number. Miss Tiffany’s voice is rich, round, and full, with a peculiarly penetrating and resonant tone quality which gives her an additional poignancy in her heavier numbers, but which also makes her voice a thing always to be remembered in the delicate and tender music which formed a part of her program.
“There is in her high tones a roundness and sweetness often lacking even in highly trained voices, and which alone makes her numbers a recurring delight. In her low tones, there is a depth and a tender quality which are most unusual in a lyric soprano voice, and which brought forth enthusiastic approval from the audience. There is about the singer a winning charm and a gracious sweetness of manner which delighted her large audience and which appreciated fully the generosity of the singer in the matter of encores.”
Pupils of Marie Miller in Film Spectacle
During the filming of Enemies of Women, the motion picture version of Ibanez’s much-discussed novel, the producers were confronted with the problem of obtaining five young women who not only would screen well but who could also play the harp. One of the big scenes required the picturing of such a grouping. Marie Miller, well known harp teacher of New York, numbers among her pupils a large proportion of girls and young women who could fill this two-fold demand. She designated five of her pupils and they are to be seen in this much talked of motion picture.
Several of Miss Miller’s professional pupils recently have been heard in concert in and around New York. Frances Keeney played several harp solos at a concert at the Central Presbyterian Church on March S, and Beth DeBevoise played at a musicale at the studio of Dudley Buck on March 22. Marjorie Frank appeared on the program at a concert at the Heckscher Foundation Theater, Thursday, March 29. During the Easter season several more of Miss Miller’s pupils were heard in solo work at the various churches in New York, Trenton and Plainfield. Among those who played were Elizabeth Letchford, Elinor Collier, Adaline Messerschmidt and Leona Burgess.
Miss Miller herself played several solos at the Brick Church, March 16, with Clarence Dickenson. One number was a harp and organ duet. Arthur Kraft and Miss Miller were heard in a number for voice and harp.
Zoellner Conservatory Enlarges Faculty
The Zoellner Conservatory of Los Angeles, recently founded by the members of the internationally known Zoellner Quartet, has found it necessary to make several additions to the faculty. Two new departments have been ddded. These new instructors maintain in every way the high standard set by the initial faculty. The new departments are Public School Music, in charge of Anne McPherson, formerly in charge of the same department at the Bush Temple Conservatory, and a vocal ensemble class, under Arthur Bienbar. Mr. Bienbar hails from Holland and is held in high esteem by Queen Wilhelmina, before whom he has appeared very often. Vocal quartets, sextets, octets and chorus a capella will be one of the interesting and valuable features of this class.
Other new instructors are Dona Ghrey, vocalist, who has appeared in Italy under the baton of Leoncavallo; Frances M. Ralston, harmony and composition, formerly teacher of these subjects at Wellesley College, Massachusetts; Grace Lovejoy and Lulie E. Crawford, new faculty members of the piano department, which is under the supervision of Joseph Zoellner, Jr. The Zoellners have founded the conservatory with the idea of bringing to all people the best means of musical education available, surrounding themselves with a faculty, each one holding a place of distinction in his particular field.
