Oskaloosa, Iowa, May 22.—The symphony orchestra of the Central Holiness University gave a _ concert at C. H. U. Chapel, May 18. Harwood Simmons is the director, and has built up a wonderfully good organization which gives the townspeople many treats during the school year. This concert featured Frederic Knight Logan as pianist and composer, who played a group of his own compositions— a nocturne, waltz and numbers from his Castilian Sketches. These were rendered with excellent technic and emotional interest. A pastoral suite called the Pipes of Pan (which came off the press just in time for this performance) was well received. Five movements are devoted to picturing the romping charm of the Greek god and his contemporaries. Other numbers on the program were by Wagner, Saint-Saëns, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Godard and Grieg. It is indeed a splendid thing for musicians here in college to have the opportunity of learning fine symphonic works. _ The interesting program notes aided the audience in enjoying the concert to the fullest extent.

San Antonio, Tex., May 8.—Eleanor Shaw, pianist, and Frederick Child, tenor, were presented in a series of recitals under the auspices of the San Antonio Musical Club, the San Antonio Mozart Society and the Woman’s Club. The concerts were given by courtesy of the firm of Thomas Gogan & Bros., agents for the Duo Art. M. Augusta Row-ley was in charge of the local details. The concert of April 30 was in the nature of a costume recital as music of the three, periods—1822, 1872 and 1922—was given with the artists dressed in appropriate costumes. Miss Shaw is possessed of adequate technic, a "big full tone and fine interpretative ability. She made her numbers more interesting by giving a short analysis of each. Mr. Child’s voice is one of unusual lyric beauty with a rich, ringing quality, even in all the registers. His enunciation was a Relight. Miss Shaw supplied excellent accompaniments for him.
The Tuesday Musical Club held the last business meeting of the season, May 1, at which time it was decided to offer a prize of $100 for the best musical pageant representing music from Bible days to the present time.

The Musical Art Choir, Henry Jacobsen director, appeared in concert, May 3, as the closing event in the series of the San Antonio College of Music. Several of the numbers were sung a cappella, giving full opportunity to display the organlike quality of tone. The shading was excellent and all the selections were given with fine precision. The Mac-Farren number, You Stole My Love, had to be repeated. John Steinfeldt, founder and director of the college, was the accompanist for the numbers not given a cappella. Assisting on the program were Verna Yturri and Melly Forst, sopranos, with Henry Jacobsen as accompanist; and an instrumental ensemble consisting of John M. Steinfeldt, pianist; Virginia Majewski, violinist; Otto Majewski, violinist, and Eulalio Sanchez, cellist. The numbers by these artists were greatly enjoyed.

Clara Duggan Madison presented her pupil, Olga Heye, in piano recital, May 5. Miss Heye is a talented musician, and played her varied numbers with fine interpretation and good technic.
