Gigli to Race with Father Time
On Saturday afternoon, April 21, at 4:52 to the dot, New Yorkers will see Gigli come dashing out of the 39th Street entrance to the Metropolitan Opera House, into a waiting automobile, which will rush him to the Pennsylvania Station just in time to make the 5:05 for Atlanta.
With thirteen minutes in which to get from the famous “Temple of Music” to the railroad station, it is obvious that the hero of the opera L’Africaine will not find a minute to delay for such matters as removing make-up, whiskers, wig, changing costume, etc. Precious moments will be taken up by a clamoring audience which will demand curtain calls from the tenor in this, his final appearance in New York’s opera season.
Gigli will arrive in Atlanta on Sunday evening, and on Monday evening local music lovers will hear him in Romeo and Juliet.	_________
Sophie Sanina Appears at Educational Alliance
Sophie Sanina, the young Russian pianist, appeared at the Educational Alliance, delighting her audience with masterful playing of many well known selections.

Several encores were demanded and she responded graciously to the insistent applause. Mme. Eva Crantz, dramatic soprano, sang the Aria from Cavalleria Rusticana, rendered in a powerful yet belllike voice. She also was forced to respond with further numbers.
Among those present were Prof. Fleischman, Dr. Sander-line (lately from Europe) and Dr. Tarran, while several prominent painters and sculptors made sketches of the guests.	___________

Jeritza for Ravinia
A^ rumor was afloat in Chicago last week to the effect that Louis Eckstein had secured Maria Jeritza for two performances for Ravinia this summer. The same source of information stated that Jeritza would not come to Ravinia unless she were given a contract for at least ten performances. Be the rumor true or not, Louis Eckstein is shooting high and is trying his best again this year to give his patrons the finest available talent.

chorus was especially in evidence in the Pilgrims’ Chorus from Tannhäuser; the Feast of the Holy Grail, from Parsifal; Gretchaninoff’s Credo, and the Brahms Rhapsody. Every soloist measured up well. Florence Jepperson Madsen, a favorite Utah contralto, appeared both in conjunction with the chorus and alone. Dr. W. R. Worley, tenor, and president of the chorus, sang Celeste Aida. Becky Almond was the accompanist and also gave the Magic Fire music from Die Walkiire. Practically the same program was repeated at Provo on the evening of March 11. The club expects to appear again in concert in Salt Lake City during April.
The first concert of the season by the Salt Lake Philharmonic Orchestra, given at the Orpheum Theater, showed such general high standard of work that every public spirited citizen should be fully convinced of the organization’s worthiness of consistent and hearty support. Charles Shepherd’s work as director was in every way a credit to him.
Prominent musicians of the city furnished the musical program for the wedding reception following the marriage of Elsie Kratzer and Henry Glissmeyer. Mr. Glissmeyer is a prominent member of the Mendelssohn Male Chorus as well as other musical clubs of the city.
Technic and interpretative ability were outstanding features of Frank W. Asper’s recent piano recital at the Salt Lake Theater before a capacity audience. Mr. Asper’s program included Beethoven’s sonata, C major, op. 2, No. 3; a group of Liszt’s compositions and numbers by MacDowell, Debussy and Chopin. Mr. Asper is a prominent Salt Lake teacher and the leader of the Orpheus Club.

LATEST ADDITIONS TO
MACDOWELL COLONY FUND
When on December 30 last, Mrs. Edward Mac-Dowell was disabled by a taxicab accident so that she is still unable to leave her apartment, Joseph Regneas was the first to propose, in a letter to the Musical Courier, that a fund be raised for the support of the MacDowell Colony at Peterborough, N. H., this year, which will lack the usual support given it from the earnings of Mrs. MacDowell herself. Mr. Regneas’ letter was as follows :
I have just heard of the unfortunate accident to Mrs. Edward MacDowell, on the eve of her departure for a recital tour. Mrs. MacDowell is likely to be incapacitated for some time under the most favorable conditions.
Since the income from these recitals is one of the great mainstays of the Peterborough Colony, it would be a nice compliment, and at the same time act as a balm during her days of convalescence, if a fund were raised to partly take the place at least of the income lost through her indisposition.
To further such a plan, I beg to subscribe $100 (one hundred dollars) with the understanding that twenty-five of my colleagues, or those interested in the Edward MacDowell Association, will subscribe a like amount.
May I ask you to give publicity in your valued paper and also act as recipient of this fund?
Faithfully yours,
(Signed) Joseph Regneas.
New York, January 1.
Following Mr. Regneas’ suggestion, the fund has steadily been gaining by voluntary contributions from individuals, from various MacDowell Clubs (of which there are many scattered throughout the United States), and from other musical organizations.
Contributions during the past week included a check for $100, from New Hampshire’s Daughters, and others from:
George Foster Peabody.............Saratoga Springs
MacDowell Club.......................Portland, Me.
MacDowell Club..............New Philadelphia, Ohio
The value of the work which, by the aid of this fund, Mrs. MacDowell will be able to continue, is beyond question. The Musical Courier again urges all in any way connected with or interested in music to ,be generous.
The Musical Courier will continue to act as collector for the fund. Contributions, which will be acknowledged in these columns, should be addressed to the MacDowell Colony Fund, care Musical Courier, 437 Fifth Avenue, New York.
