Charles Hargreaves in New York.
Charles Hargreaves, operatic tenor, might have been a member of the Ducal Opera Company of Coburg, Germany, had he accepted an offer of some years ago. Returning to America he sang in various cities throughout the United States, winning splendid press notices, and was engaged at the Metropolitan Opera House, season 1911-1912. When he sang in Paterson at the annual festival under C. Mortimer Wiske, the Morning Call said:
Mr. Hargreaves’ work was excellent. He is, in fact, one of the most pleasing tenors who have ever sung in Paterson. His voice has a fine range and is pure and sympathetic in tone. He made a great impression.
Following a stay of nine years in Detroit he is again settled in the metropolis, and it is safe to say will attract the patronage he deserves.

Fletcher-Copp Talk.	p.
Mrs. Fletcher-Copp gave an interesting talk at the Elizabeth K. Patterson Studios, March 22, her subject being Rescuing the Musical Profession for the Musically Fit, and enlarged on this subject in her own unique and interesting manner. Mrs. Copp originated the Fletcher Method a quarter of a century ago, and the present writer has watched its development and well deserved progress with interest. Mrs. Copp applies the principles of her method to both vocal and instrumental music, and it is warranted to make good readers, in a word, real musicians of those who follow its precepts.
Erna Cavelle Sings for Radio.
Erna Cavelle, soprano, who has charge of the programs given at the National Art Exhibitors in Atlantic City, and who is scheduled to sing there every week for the balance of the season, sang on a radio program for WJZ, Waldorf station, Thursday evening, March 22.

Dr. Clarence Dickinson’s March 23 noon hour of music was devoted to compositions by the representative American composer, MacDowell. Five organ numbers included a march, The Eagle, The Humming Bird, In a Hammock, and two movements from the Sonata Tragica, in which the various contrasting contents of these works, ranging from the martial to the delicate and the heroic, were well brought out by this able organist. Edna Indermaur, contralto, sang Long Ago, The Robin Sings, Midsummer and Cradle Hymn, and Mabel Farrar, violinist, played the Reverie, a Lullaby and the ever popular To a Wild Rose. At the last of these noon-day affairs, Good Friday, Stainer’s The Crucifixion was presented, with James Price, tenor, and William Simmons, bass, as soloists.

March 22 a program of a dozen numbers, instrumental and vocal, was presented at the New York School of Music and Arts, Ralfe Leech Sterner president. Miss Russell showed growth of voice and interpretation in the aria from Louise; Eunice Rees appeared both as singer and pianist, displaying a bright colored soprano voice and clear articulation in Dawn (Curran), and, as pianist, playing the finale from the concerto in G minor (Mendelssohn), in which she showed brilliant technic and dash, the work being accompanied by the organ. Miss Thomas and Miss Hitch sang well, and Mr. Mais played Vieuxtemps’ Reverie with broad tone and fine expression. Nana LaFrance sang Nymphs and Fauns (Bemberg), with bright colored-voice and good style, while Miss Mahoney sang Sanderson’s Be Still Blackbird in highly enjoyable fashion. Miss Gleason sang Visi d’Arte, and the program closed with classic dancing by Mr. Belden. Attentive listeners always make up these audiences, and sincerity of purpose and high ambition mark the performance of all the students.

Reports of National Organists’ Committees.
Among reports rendered to Chairman Reginald L. McAll, National Association of Organists, are included many items of interest. To every organ builder in America has been sent a questionnaire with regard to general console design, with a view to making recommendations for unified measurements. Alice Wysard and Guy Harrison have been added to the Rochester convention committee. Dr. Russell spoke of the plans for Music Week at Wanamaker’s, and Messrs. Noble, Riesberg and McAll were appointed to act with the public meetings committee. Messrs. Riesberg and Nevins were appointed a publicity committee for the Rochester convention. There are over 1,000 active members. There is a growing council at Dallas, Tex. The large Eastman Theater, together with orchestra and organ, has been tendered by Mr. Eastman for the Rochester convention, and this is sure to be a splendid affair, for the organ is of marvelous tonal beauty, and the orchestra is one of the finest in America. Dr. Mauro-Cottone gives a special organ recital today, April S, at the Capitol Theater, New York, with improvised music for the picture to follow, and S. L. Rothafel will give a talk on The Place of Organ Music in the Theater. Lenten recitals were given by Mrs. Bruce S. Keator at Asbury Park, March 22 and 30. Gladys B.

Despite the inclement weather of March 26 the auditorium was filled to witness the performance presented by the Guild Players and Musical Club, Community Workers, New York Guild for Jewish Blind.
For amateurs the evening was one of enjoyment, the young people being quite clever and possessing much ability, so that onq is not conscious of their handicap. The numbers, both musical and dramatic, were well received by the audience, several encores being demanded.
Much credit should be given Alva Polasky, vocal director, Isabelle Rose, instrumental director, and Claudia Ullman, dramatic director, for the success of the evening.
