Music Notes By Jeunesso Butler. Address all communications tn 8 South Orunge street. Telephone 353-R, Tho only strictly local item of the past few weeks was the concert by thfc Medford Choral society last even ing nt the Natatorium, ns a feature of the county fair. As these notes nre written before the date of the I erf ormancc, a detailed account is not possible in tins issue, tiie pro gram was as follows: Choral numbers Waltz from Faust (Gounod); "Echo" (MacFar ren) ; March from "Tannlniuser") (Wagner) ; recitative and chorus, Mr. Beeckwitb, soloist; "Ei Muler," from "Stabat Muter" (Rossini). Violin solo, "Valsc Trieste" (Sibelius), Carlton Janes; choral number, "Song of the Triton" (Molloy). Part 2 Piano solo with orches tra; two numbers from "Peet Gynt Sinte" (Grey), Miss Flora Grey; vo cal solo, aria from "Trovutore" (Verdi), Miss Florence Iluwlrigg. Choral numbers "When the Heart Is Young" (Dudley Buck), "Sol dicrs' Chorus" from "Fuust" (Clou nod), "Moonlight and Music" (Piu suit). Because we hope very soon to "fol low suit," perhaps a little news from 'way across the continent concerning a music festival may be of some in teresl. The one in question is th twenty-first annual Maine music fes tival, which includes a grand opening concert, orchestral matinee, third, fourth nnd fifth concerts, the hitter a Red Cross benefit, all of which will be presented in Bangor and Portland The same director, Mr. Chapman, has held this position for twenty years The most auspicious announcements concerning the festival are the up penrnnce of Mudnrnc Galli Cnrii, heralded everywhere as a second Putti; Miss Margaret Wilson, daugli ter of the president, nn orchestral number by Henry Iludley, past con ductor of the Seattle and Sun Fran Cisco symphony orchestrn, nnd the requested nppenrnnce of Madame Alma Tracy, nt present a resident of this valley, as concert pinnist. Be cause of business interests, Madame Tracy will not be able tn fulfill the engagement, and Percy Grainger ha been chosen instead. Madame Tracy was to have played a concerto with endenras by Reinecke. Leo Hcnning, who played the part of Lawrence Tucker with Kolb and Dill Wednesday night, is an extreme ly versatile young tnun. A year ago Mr. Ilcuning wns one of the princi pals in a big Hawaiian net nn the Orpheum circuit. He is n wonder ful dancer, possesses a good singing voice, and as shown in "The High Cost of Loving," handles comedy roles with all the verve of ynufli. In playing Lawrence Tucker, Mr. Hen uiug just obeys the obvious rule of etiquette, "Always be nnturnl." The revue in the third act was extremely pleasing. The refined manner of the A PARIS FA VORITE Marked favor given black costumes this winter. An au thoritative photo from Paris Indi cates the popularity ot all-black even tor girls. The gown Is designed tor semi-dress occasions, or informal evening tunctlons. It Is made ot black taffeta' and note that it Is soloists, the clear, Well-trained voices with none of Hint "tired out" quality, were refreshingly, exceptional. There was also n trap drummer with the Jazz band orchestra, an undeniably clever boy. Not iill the comedy wns behind the footlights. That young man put over ns delicious n hit as just about ever, came to our notice. No snrcasm intended. The enjoyment. was too complete. Albert Parr of "The Bostonians" fame, spent four days in Medford and vicinity last week enjoying sev eral fishing trips ns the guest of our famous angler, "Toggery Bill." Mr. Parr is at present in vaude ville. His exjierienco is indeed par with many who nttuin position and prominence after years of striving against adverse circumstances in ev ery form. A member of a musical family from London) h Canadian by birth nnd American by adoption, Mr. Purr began his life work by singing ns a child in Sunday school enter tainments. ,Lnter,in nn amalciir pro duction of the , "Mikado" he sang "Nanki Poo." "AS a chorus mnn in "The Isle of Champagne' he under studied the principal roles und exem plified the beauty of preparedness when the leading man wns taken ill, and Mr. Parr was given "his chance." At the age of twenty . ho sung the leading tenor roles in a rond show, playing repertoire for seven weeks. Later as leading mnn with Edna May, Lulu Glaser nnd Grace Von Stiiddi ford and then with the BostoHiuns, Mr. Purr gained recognition step by step. His most famous role was Robin Hood, in -De Koven's opera of the same name. Mr. Purr speaks with the greatest respect and appre ciation of his various teachers, gain ing some special point from each one, the best that is which, each one had to give. Also speaks of the "perfect combination" for a singer, breath control, relaxation and nien tnl attention. In oilier words, train ed efficiency. "It is just work, work, work first to reach the pinnacle, then to hold rue's position, ullho, of course, ono is never finished; there is no end; we never learn it all." "I shall never forget this brief visit and return to the simple life in your nine valley. Alter the noise and bustle and excitement of the large cities und constant travel, it is something to remember." Mr. Parr is the husband of .Miss Kstclle Went worth, prima donna at Rnvinia Park Chicago, this summer, who toured with Mrs. Isaacs the season of 1010-17.
