Museum of Art, Fifth and Taylor
streets. This Is the third season that
these musicians have been playing; to
gether in public and the seventh year
since they organized. The past two
years their concerts, though limited
to an exclusive invitational list, - were
among the best musical events of the
season. They first met at the Ma
sonic Temple at the request of a small
group of society matrons, who fostered
the plan of having chamber concerts.

Pasquale Amato, the famous grand
opera baritone, and Mme. Frances
Alda, wife of Gattl-Casazza of the
Metropolitan Opera company, who ar
rived in New York recently, brought
news of exciting adventures abroad
and information as to the whereabouts
of other singers held up by the war.
Slgnor Amato said he had just ar
rived in Trieste from Genoa when tne
war broke out- He was arrested as
a spy and forced to remain in the lock
up for a day. When city officials re
fused to be convinced Signor Amato
stood forth in the court room and sang.
This test proved sufficient and he was
granted 24 hours to leave the city.
"They did not have to tell me twice,"
he added, "for in 10 minutes I was
gone."
Mme. Alda. said she was worried
about Mme. SembFich, who sailed with
her husband, a German, on the Nieuw
Amsterdam, reported recently as held
up by the English. "I wrote her some
time ago not to take the Nieuw Am
sterdam," said Mme. Alda.

I Testimony as to the earnings of the
late Mme. Lillian Nordica was given in
the surrogate's court. New York,' re
cently by E. Remayne Simmons, who
was the singer's secretary and accom
panist. He said Mme. Nordica' s earn
ings were about $65,0,00 a year during
the 18 years he was associated with
her. This, he explained, did not in
clude the large royalties she received
for phonographic records. He testi
fied that it would be impossible for
him to estimate the balances in vari
ous banks because of Mme. Nordica's
method of drawing checks. She often
wrote checks without entering them
on the stubs, he said, doing this on
many occasions, because she wished to
give freely to friends without making
record of her charities. Two wills made
by Mme. Nordica have been filed, one
n New York City and one in New
Jersey.
A new organization called Grabel's
Orchestral band gave its initial con

Harold V. Milligan, a former Port
land boy, now a prominent organist in
ivew york, m an article contributed
to the current number of Pictorial
Review on voice study for the child in
which says "it is a pity to suppress
a child's natural love of singing, not
only to her own disappointment, but
to that of her parents and friends as
well, for there is nothing in the world
sweeter than the spontaneous, almost
unconscious singing of a child.
"And that is just the point," he
continues, "as long as it is spontaneous
end not self conscious, it is beautiful
and natural as well as praiseworthy
but as soon as it becomes studied, it
loses not only much of the appeal and
charm which made it so pleasing, but
very often leads the young singer into
vocal fault and mannerisms which will
prove a serious detriment to efforts at
song later in life.''
The greatest danger, he points out
lies in allowing a child to sing loudly
or to strain the . voice. He advises
to avoid the very highest or very low
est extremes of the voice, as Indulg
ence In either of these directions Invari
ably results in strain or at least in mis
placement of the voice, which causes
much trouble later on.

concert of the season on Sunday after
noon, November 1, when Harold Bay-

most beautiful written, with an abund
ance of smoothly flowing melodies
that appeal strongly to even those who
do not possess familiarity with the

will include such works as "Manrische
Fantasie" and "Malaguena" from the
ballet "Boabdll" by Moszkowskl. over
ture "Mlgnon" by Ambrolse Thomas,
and "Wotan's Farewell" and "Magic

various commercial and business or.

of raising the guarantee fund towards

uuring an experience or 40 years
of teaching I can recall the return
and departure, on three different oc
casions ,of the tense muscular meth
od of holding one's hands in piano
playing, a noted New York piano
pedagog is quoted as having said.
"Alternately we have had as a pre
vailing fashion the devotion to com
plete relaxation. I have watched
these modes come and go like so
many waves.
"In the early days of my career
I held firmly to the faith that there
could be only one right way to obtain
certain effects in piano playing. But
years of close observation have con
vinced me that after all it is not the
means but the result which counts.
I have witnessed great pianists pro
duce a tone of ravishing beauty by
holding their hands perfectly level
over the key board: and I have heard
tonal effects of equal charm produced

we must hold them, differently ac
cording to their peculiar form. There
fore, it is wrong to lay down a set
of rules to cover all cases. Just as
one "vocal method' is impossible for
all singers, so, I believe, there is no
scientific formula to guide the pian
ist. The greatest problem of the
teacher today Is then the study of
personal equation."

man Lutheran church last Sunday,

Roma. Miss Stone has a sympathetic

of the week was the piano recital
given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
