In commenting upon the event one of the local papers said: “Mr. Gordpn is the best American pianist who has ever appeared before a Galveston audience. His interpretations of some of the compositions of master composers reveal rare technic and artistic execution.” Miss Whittemore also received flattering notice for her excellent interpretations. F. D. G.
Greensboro, N. C., March 19.—The leading musical event of the past month was the appearance of Josef Hofmann, on March 15, as the third and last number of the Greensboro Concert Course.

Athens, Ga., March 29.—Olga Samaroff played an interesting program at Lucy Cobb Institute, March 15, before the largest and most enthusiastic audience of the season.

Butte, Mont., March 21.—Music lovers were given a real treat when William Wade Hinshaw’s company rendered in excellent fashion the Mozart opera, Cosi Fan Tutte. Like animated Watteau paintings in a setting of melody, the scenes of the opera presented vignettes of color and sprightliness. It was the mining city’s introduction to the novel and charming manner of chamber production of opera comique and it won decided favor. Every member of the organization merited and received enthusiastic approval. Irene Williams, soprano, was featured in the cast which also included Catherine Bibb, mezzo-soprano; Judson House, tenor; Leo De Hierapolis, baritone; Pierre Remington, bass, and Lillian Palmer, soprano. Stuart Ross, pianist and musical director, deserves much credit for the success of the presentation. The performance was given under the auspices of the Bagdad Patrol of the Mystic Shrine and was well attended.	T. F. M.
Chicago, 111.—(See letter on another page).
Chisholm, Minn., March 22.—After five, years of absence, Cora Mitchell returned to her home to give a program in conjunction with Constant Sigrist, tenor. Her dramatic readings were a surprise and delight to the large crowd which had gathered to greet her. Her most pretentious numbers were Salome, a dramatic sketch, and Pygmalion and Galatea, in which she had the assistance of Mr. Sigrist. This excellent tenor also gave a lengthy list of songs revealing pleasing quality, good enunciation and much dramatic fervor. Kathryn Steele was his able accompanist.	G. R. E.
Cincinnati, Ohio—(See letter on another page).
Connersville, Ind., March 22.—The Chaminade Club gave its annual concert in the High School Auditorium, March 12, to a capacity house. The assisting artist was Consuelo Couchman, cellist, who played three groups. The club sang three groups of glees accompanied by Elizabeth Moore. Special mention should be made of the piano playing of Mary Ruth Bottles and the vocal solos by Dorothy Schuler. Hazel Murphy was the accompanist for Miss Couchman.
The Clio Club presented Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelley and Norvilla DeHaven, her talented pupil, in a recital at the home of Mrs. Ben Cole, March 13. Mrs. Kelley made a plea for more support by the club women of the city for good music.

Gladys Lyon, artist pupil of Haig Gudenian, has gone home to Birmingham, Ala., to compete in a violin contest.
The second annual Music Memory Contest was held here last week. There were forty contestants from the various schools. Thirteen perfect scores made it necessary to have an elimination contest.

Dallas, Tex., March 19.—Two Dallas musicians were honored by the artists, Phillip Gordon and Elinor Whittemore, who appeared at the City Temple. David Guion’s Turkey in the Straw was one of the piano numbers offered by Mr. Gordon to the delight of the large audience. The Ampico played the accompaniments for Miss Whittemore’s violin solo and one of these, Bach’s Air for G string, was a recording of Elizabeth Gay Jones, a local pianist. The sound technic and musicianship with which these artists rendered all their numbers brought forth the warmest praise.	G. O. F.
Easton, Pa., March 18.—The chorus choir of St. John’s Lutheran Church rendered Penitence, Pardon and Peace, under the direction of the organist and choirmaster, Henry Eichlin. Blanche. E. Speer, soprano, of Pen Argyl, sang effectively at this largely attended service.
The Music Memory Contest was a pronounced success; the committee, James B. Beam, chairman, managed the affair and much credit is due them for the undertaking.
A string quartet, composed of Albert Kahn and Harvey Freeman, violins; Edward Eichlin, viola, and Carleton Gordon, cello, gave an interesting program of chamber music before the Woman’s Clubs in the lecture room of the First Presbyterian Church. The quartet in C minor, by Mozart, and the C major quartet, by Haydn were played by the
