59 MUSiC AL COURIER May 3, 1923 directing the augmented choir. April 9, 10 and 11 found him appearing at the Halifax (Nova Scotia) Festival, where he sang the bass role in the Verdi Requiem and Samson and Delilah and numbers in a miscellaneous program. Thursday, April 12, he sang The Messiah in New Glasgow, N. S., and April 13 a miscellaneous program in Truro, N. S. He appeared May 1 at the Syracuse (N. Y.) Festival, singing the bass solos in Haydn’s Seasons, and on May 4 he is booked for the Springfield (Mass.) Festival, where Samson and Delilah again will be presented in concert form. Evelyn MacNevin Under Johnston Management Evelyn MacNevin, contralto, who has been termed a “statuesque young beauty with a voice like the golden sunshine,” is now under the management of R. E. Johnston. When she appeared in Aeolian Hall last season, the New EVELYN MacNEVIN York Tribune said of her: “Evelyn MacNevin disclosed a remarkably fine and naturally opulent voice, wide in range and dramatic in quality. As an interpreter she displayed intelligence and authority. Her voice is beautiful and her diction fine.” Miss MacNevin has already scored successes throughout the United States and Canada. Her remarkable beauty, the richness of her voice, and her charming personality unite in making her one of the most thoroughly delightful and satisfying young artists now appearing in public. straight south, rather than via Memphis, which is the usual route, and chose Collinston, La., as the intersecting point. We left Little Rock early Sunday morning, February 4, to play in Natchez the following evening—ample time to cover the distance comfortably. Collinston, La., was reached and proved a veritable ‘dump’ as far as its only hostelry was concerned. We expected to leave the next morning about 7 :30, arriving at Natchez about 1:00 p. m. This occurred during the cold snap in the South; the ground was covered almost as far as the Gulf. The night at the Collinston Hotel was a memorable one; no fires in any of the rocms except the dining room and the foyer office. We slept with our clothes on, nibbled at a forbidding breakfast, paid our bill and were ready to depart before 7 :30—all this in fond anticipation that Collinston, La., would soon be a recollection of the past, to be avoided in the future. Such was not our luck, however; our train was an hour late, and that hour kept spreading in size until by noon it had become four and a half hours. It was 1:45 p. m. when this 'morning train’ pulled out of Collinston, and we then figured that we should reach Natchez not much later than 6 p. m., and that our troubles were at an end; but a surprise was in store for us. The conductor told us that he was not going through to Natchez, but that we should get off at Ferriday and wait for the afternoon train, due in an hour, which would pull us into Natchez at 7:15 p. m.—if on time, if on time. We reached Ferriday about 6 p. m. and learned that the next train would be three hours late, so set off to find someone to drive us over, and finally secured a man with a good sized car. He could go no further than Vidalia, La. (on the Louisiana side of the Mississippi), and told us a ferry ran across to Natchez every thirty minutes. This all sounded hopeful! Duly arrived in Vidalia, at the pier we were informed that the regular ferry was laid up for repairs, but he would try to make it in a small launch,’ which the operator cheerfully observed was giving him much trouble and was running on one cylinder. Catching sight of two or three good lusty oars I felt at ease, determining to go back, if necessary, to the methods of my Norwegian ancestors, who crossed the Atlantic in open boats propelled by oars a thousand years before cylinders were in vogue. “As a fitting climax to the day’s festivities the cylinder gave up the ghost and we all set to and paddled across, landing, or rather being helped up on the disabled ferry. It became then a case of fly to the hotel, dig out some music, a hasty brush up and fly to the concert. You will note the omission of supper! “The Natchez audience was most gracious, and the newspapers next morning made much of the old adage that ‘clothes don’t make the man.’ “Days of real enjoyment were spent in Florida, where the trio made appearances at Daytona Beach, Winter Park and Jacksonville. “The trio has just signed a contract with the Ellison White Bureau, of Portland, Ore., for a tour on the coast during November of this year.” A Busy Spring for Frank Guthbert Among recent appearances of Frank Cuthbert, bass, was that as soloist at the Good Friday service at Grace Church, Orange, N. J. He also sang the part of Christ in the Bach Passion when that work was given at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in New York, with David McK. Williams The Tollefsens Paddle Across the Mississippi Twenty-five concerts in five weeks, covering the South from El Paso to Jacksonville, with appearances in eleven States, was the Tollefsen Trio’s recent contribution to the musical activities of the country. Commencing at Edmond (Okla.), at the State Normal College, the tour covered engagements in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida, North and South Carolina and the Middle West. It was to be supposed, in a tour of such dimensions, that the carefully arranged schedule would go awry somewhere. The “somewhere” was not long in exhibiting itself, for two derailments near Pelham, Ga., and Greensboro, N. C., added THE TOLLEFSENS EN ROUTE. (1) Two Tolleffsens in Mexico. (2) Augusta Tollefsen and an unsociable ‘Mex.” (3) Paul Kefer, cellist; James Heaton, manager, and Augusta Tollefsen, pianist, in Daytona, Fla. zest to the trip and caused the trio to arrive in town a few moments before concert time. Jitney trips of from five to thirty miles saved several audiences from disappointment (where trains had missed connections), and when trunks were late it was necessary for Mr. Tollefsen to preface the concert with an apology ^ speech, in. which he related the circumstances in a humorous vein, and regretted the absence of evening clothes. “It is often a source of wonder,” said Mr. Tollefsen, “whether an audience even takes into consideration the trials that beset an artist who tours. Take for example the incidents which befell us en route between Little Rock and Natchez, Miss.
