Carolton, soprano; Josephine Ingram, contralto; A. W. Browning, tenor, and Martha Patterson, accompanist, offered a delightful program. The dramatic club of Bessie Tift College gave a musical program. The Eastlack Players, of the Eastlack School, had a musical evening recently. The Atlanta Conservatory of Music presented pupils from the class of Mary Lansing. Elizabeth Lawrence presented a group of her pupils in a recital at her home on Howard street, in Decatur. Grace Bell Murray, of Our Little Club, provided a most interesting program of music at the last meeting, in Mrs. Murray’s studio. The artists taking part were Katissue Whitehead, Evelyn Fletcher, Thelma Carter, Ruth Green, Cornelia Taylor, Helen Mendell, Sara Groodzinsky, Belle Shipp, Sadie Pyron and Mrs. Murray. P. G. Augusta, Ga., April 2.—Martinelli’s concerts at the Bon Air-Vanderbilt, was followed within a week by the appearance of Josef Hofmann at the Imperial Theater. The former concert was due to the efforts of the management of the new tourist hotel, Bon Air-Vanderbilt. Martinelli’s magnificent voice was heard by an enormous crowd of music-lovers; he was accompanied by Maestro Fucito and assisted by Flora Greenfield, whose group of English songs was particularly charming. Somehow, Josef Hofmann seems to belong to Augusta, although the beautiful Hofmann home is at Aiken, sixteen miles from Augusta. His appearance here is always the signal for an ovation and one of the largest audiences of the season greeted him at the Imperial. The Eagles’ Band has begun a series of concerts in Allen Park which will last throughout the summer. The Community Orchestra, now in process of formation, bids fair to be quite an ambitious thing and to add greatly to the community life of the city. Jeane Turner offered an excellent musical program at Tubman High School, for the benefit of the Woman’s Club. Her program included numbers by Puccini, Handel, Mana-Zucca and Bachelet. A musical program was offered at the annual Birthday Tea of the Mary Warren Home for the Aged. Those who took part were Marie Brenner, Miss Hilton, Mary Preacher, Elizaeth Crenshaw, Paul Vipperman and Mrs. Vipperman, Emma Russell Hammell, Fletcher Lou Hollingsworth, Sarah Alexander, Mrs. Seymour Sylvester and Miss Dempsey. P. G. Beaumont, Tex., April 16.—The recital of Phillip Gordon, pianist, and Elinor Whittemore, violinist, was one of the outstanding features of Music Week. These artists are of high rank and were received with enthusiasm. Mr. Gordon’s selections were rendered with the ease of a master of technic and interpretation. Miss Whittemore produced music from her violin which was sincerely applauded. G. F. D. Boston, Mass.—(See letter on another page). Chicago, 111.—(See letter on another page).

There is no easy road (except in fiction) but the sure road is pointed out by Mr. Duval and divested of its mystery in this important work. $2.00 at all music dealers and booksellers JAMES T. WHITE & CO. Publishers 70 FIFTH AVENUE i NEW YORK Atlantic City, N. J.—(See letter on another page). Asbury Park, N. J., April 2.—Mrs. Bruce S. Keator, with her usual enterprise, planned and carried out two organ recitals at the First M. E. Church, March 22 and March 30, the first being given by Howard D. McKinney (whose picture appears on the program) assisted by a soprano and violinists, also the Rutgers College Glee Club, of which Mr. McKinney is conductor. Standard organ and vocal works were performed, in which compositions of the Americans Borowski, John Prindle Scott, Pearl G. Curran, and Lily Strickland appeared. The March 30 program had as organist J. Stanley Farrar, with baritone, soprano, violinist, the choir of the church, and the Mozart Club assisting. Harriet Ware’s The Cross was sung by the Mozart Club, and there were also heard compositions by Clarence Dickinson, Shelley and W. H. Monk. Olivet to Calvary was sung at this church March 25, Mrs. Keator presiding at the organ. R. Atlanta, Ga., April 6.—Atlanta had the pleasure of hearing Olga Samaroff as the last attraction of the Civic Concert Series. The Atlanta Music Club, which sponsored this effort, feels a justifiable pride in the high standard of the entire series. Box-orders for Grand Opera Week have been received from Washington (State), Cuba, Mexico and a number of northern cities. Among those who attended the South Atlantic District Music Club Convention in Savannah, March 16 and 17, were Nan Stephens, president of the South Atlantic District; Evelyn Jackson, chairman of the Junior Clubs of the South Atlantic District; Anne Lou Powell and Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor in charge of the carving of the Stone Mountain Memorial to the Confederacy, and who, with Miss Stephens, is greatly interested in building a huge open-air amphitheater at the base of the mountain. The Atlanta Woman’s Club is presenting a series of opera-musicales, the object of which is to familiarize patrons with the new operas to be offered this season and refresh memories of the old favorites. The first of the opera-musicales was La Boheme, the second, Aida, and the third L’Africaine. Among the artists who are taking part are Mrs. McCord Roberts, A. W. Browning, Suzanne Bowden Johnson, Bess Merrill Smith, Eda Bartholomew, Mrs. W. C. Jarnagan, Mrs. John M. Cooper, Mrs. Alonzo Richardson, R. E. Dale and others. The University of Georgia Glee Club’s appearance in Atlanta is the signal for rejoicing and pleasant anticipation. Two performances were given this year. The Henry Thomas Ross Post of the American Legion, No. 78, will sponsor a series of opera-recitals by Mrs. Charles Chalmers and Mrs. Earl Sherwood Jackson. Natalie Hammond and Ethel Beyer were co-chairmen for the morning musicale in Joseph Habersham Hall, at which time a program was offered by Mrs. W. C. Jarnagan, Mrs. Benjamin Elsas, Natalie Hammond, Wallace Jackson (concert-master at the Metropolitan Theater), and Lawrence Eberhardt, with Ethel Beyer as accompanist. The Atlanta Music Club, under the direction of Theodora Morgan Stephens and Marguerite Bartholomew, presented the orchestra of the Metropolitan Theater, Buel B. Risinger conductor, at the Atlanta Woman’s Club auditorium. The special topic of the morning was The Development of the Modern Orchestra, treated in outline by Louis Bettman. Theodora Morgan-Stephens played a group of violin solos with orchestral accompaniment. The program included Poem Erotique, Tschaikowsky’s fourth symphony and Weber’s overture to Oberon. The College Park Music Study Club devoted the main part of its recent meeting to the study of three operas— La Boheme, Aida and William Tell—under the direction of Eloise Olds. Mrs. N. C. Doss, director of the Junior Music Study Club, gave an interesting outline of an operetta which will be presented by a cast of more than fifty juvenile members of the club later in the spring. The Atlanta Music Club presented a recital of compositions by Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. Grace Lee Brown Townsend arranged the program, assisted by Kurt Mueller, pianist. Among the other soloists were Allie Purser Gifford, Virginia McKnight and Margaret Horton. The Girls’ High School Glee Club was featured also. The Brenau College girls, sixty strong, descended upon Atlanta for a matinee and night performance at the Atlanta Theater. Each of the sixty should have special mention, for the performance set the standard for collegiate amateurs. The last business meeting of the College Park Music Club was enlivened by a program presented by Mrs. E. D. Barrett, Mrs. Armand Carroll, Frances Stovall and Blanche Roberts. The Morning of the Year, a song-cycle by Charles Wakefield Cadman, was given at Eggleston Hall, under the auspices of Chapter five of the Women’s Guild, All Saints’ Church. The following artists gave the work a splendid rendition: Hazel Whitney Rolfe, soprano; Aimee Hardin, contralto; Floyd Jennings, tenor, and Arthur Stokes, bass. Mrs. Pierre E. Harrower, accompanist and coach, was at the piano. Leila Carolton sang Scotch songs, both ancient and modern, in costume, for the benefit of the Druid Hills Presbyterian building fund. A chorus has been organized by the College Park Music Club, under the direction of Mrs. Hugh Couch, president of the club. A concert of exceptional merit was given Sunday evening at St. John’s Lutheran Church, by a group of musical friends of Madeleine Hauff. A recital by the pupils of Myrtle Sims Nisbett was given in Hopeville Church. Carolyn Cobb presented her pupil, Dora Holman, in a studio recital. The primary and intermediate pupils of Anna Mae Farmer gave an Easter musicale at the studio in the Wesley Memorial Building. A recital by the pupils of Sarah Wells was given at the home studio in Inman Park.
