THE MILLER-VAN DER VEER SUMMER SCHOOL. Nevada Van der Veer and Reed Miller, in their third season of teaching at Bolton Landing, Lake George, New York, are limiting the quota of students in order to give them more time and thought and to make their summer's work a real joy, not one of daily drudgery and indifference in being so busy from morning until night that there is no time for recreation. The home atmosphere that this happy family will enjoy (two immense studios and a big roomy house), beautiful Lake George and the Adirondack Mountains, combines everything of pleasure that goes with the summer's study.
ANGELO MINGHETTI,
a leading lyric tenor of the Chicago Opera, was offered an engagement by Fortune Gallo to sing in Cuba with his opera company there, which includes Bori, Martinelli, Schipa, and others, but was obliged to refuse it, as he had just signed a contract to sing in La Boheme with Toscanini at La Scala, Milan, in May. Mr. Minghetti will return in September for his engagement with the Chicago Civic Opera Company. (Photo © Elzin)
DOROTHY JARDON’S MOTHER MAKES HER STAGE DEBUT:
The accompanying photograph of Dorothy Jar don and her mother was taken in San Francisco during the singer's second week there when they appeared in a Southern Romance which was specially put on for Miss Jardon and in which Mrs. Jardon made her debut on any stage at the age of sixty-one—a fact that is made all the more remarkable when one stops to consider that she mothered and raised twenty children and still keeps her eye on her daughter, Dorothy. Dorothy Jardon has had great success on the coast and her singing has met with the warm approval of both critics and public.
JOSEPH DISKAY,
tenor, who is constantly winning new success at each public appearance. He will be heard here in concert in the fall.
