STUDENT. RECEBVES LETTER.
Concert patrons throughout the
United States affectionately recall
the distinguished - piano virtuoso,
Xaver Scharwenka, whose appear
ances were everywhere acclaimed as
among the finest in the annals of
musical America. Owing to the late
war and his recent spell of ill health
he has not been heard from for some
time. His return to th'e concert
platform in Germany, where he ap
peared as conductor of the Berlin
Philharmonic orchestra, was phe
nomenal. His fourth concerto for
piano and' orchestra, which he re
cently conducted, presenting one of
his pupils In the solo part, met with
tremendous success in B'erlin.
Scharwenka, who is one of the few
surviving exponents of the original
Liszt school, virtually holds the po
sition or "pianist laureate In Ger
many. He is more familiar to
Americans as the composer of the
familiar "Polish Dance."
Miss Marie Soule. prominent mu
sic teacher of this city, spent the
last year in Europe with her pro
tege, Gordon Soule, studying with
Herr Scharwenka. Miss Soule, who
recently returned to this city, has
received the following letter from
the master, written June 20:
'Please receive my sincerest
thanks for your pleasant letter,
which gave much pleasure to my
family and me. I am very sorry that
you and Gordon had to leave us so
soon, but I sincerely hope that you
will beable to return to us m the
near future, as I shall take great
pleasure in working with this highly.

moment. When you two kind peo
ple left tis I was ill in bed and I am
still suffering from the after-effects
of a severe grippe. My heart was
affected by this sickness, which was
followed by a nasty bronchitis. Only
lately have' I begun to recover.
Since a few days we have returned
to our summer residence at Saarow,
where I hope to recover fully.

you that I have now finished my
autobiography. It will appear about
Christmas and will be translated
into the English language.

ST. LOUIS OPERA DELIGHTFUL
The one municipal opera in Amer
lea furnishes an object lesson in the
entertainment and education of its
citizens for Portrand, according to
Miss Lois Steers of this city, who
has been in attendance at the na
tional convention of the Concert
Managers' association in St. Iiouis.
One of the features of, the conven
tion was the visit of the managers
to municipal opera, where they saw
sari."
"Certainly there is nothing . in
America like the St. Louis municipal
opera, said Miss Steers. "We saw
i thoroughly fine performance of
Sari,' given with a fine orchestra.
under excellent direction, with
great singing cast, and with that
remarkable chorus of 100 St. Louis
boys and girls, trained at the ex
pense of municipal opera, as a first
step In the establishment of that
free school of light opera to which
the profits of each year are being
devoted. We saw an audience fill
ing a big amphitheater, which seats
9720 persons, with a part of the au
dience occupying some part of the
1700 seats that are absolutely free
and no one paying more than J2 for
the best seats in the theater. We
saw opera made an art that Is living
and vital, and art for all the people
instead or a. society function at pro
hlbitive prices.
"And we learned that while that
opera is not only self-supporting
ana.maKes a profit, while it showed
$24,000 on the right side of the
ledger last year, and should pay
more than that . this season, the
profits must- under the theater's
charter, be devoted to better produc
tions and jimprOTements in the the
ater plant. It was an. eye-opener
in civic spirit. ;Nobody makes
profit. Everybody works to make
St. Louis a happier place to live in
in the summer months.-
"We found in the theater itself
a gem, in a setting such as no' jew
eler ever conceived, so beautiful
were it surroundings. We found a
tremendous factor in civic musical
culture yet providing its education
in sugar-coated form, as It were. We
found a civic enterprise which at
tracted visitors' from every part of
its own state, from surrounding
states, ana wnicn provided enter
taiiiment to give the utmost nleas
ure to' visitors from, elsewhere. An
enterprise . of the utmost obmmer
cial importance In making their
visit to St. Louis pleasant to buyers
from everywhere and surrounding
them with a wholesome, pleasant
and artistic atmosphere. We found
a community spirit of incalculabl
value centered about that meeting
piace xor every citizen as demo
cratic as a bail game, but sDiritu

finally we found a big business en

of its eight weeks of production,
employing a score of principals.

"More than that, of course, is its

but the middle-west city just has
to trust to luck and the weather
man. if it's not 'too hot life is en
durable. But St. Louis hasn't been
satisfied with that. It is seeking to
make life endurable, to make its
citizens contented, to make one glad
to live In St. Louis above any other
city in the middle west. And mu
nicipal opera goes a long way to
ward helping in that direction.'-
