May II, 1901 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW friends gets the praise. I can fancy the flood of tears upon the pillows of the slighted ones, as they remember in bitterness of spirit the success of their rivals. I attended a pupils' re- cital lately, and every pupil was loaded with flowers, with one excep- tion, and the young woman was worthy of more applause than the rest. There was no dainty gown for her, no friends to bid her welcome, and my heart ached for her as she walked from the stage totally neglected. Let the next season bring a change, and "No Encores" will make a good opening motto. THE MS. SOCIETY CRISIS The Concert Goer is responsible for the following in its last issue which will interest musicians: "President Frank Damrosch, of the MS. Society, took the only stand pos- sible for a serious musician who re- spects the dignity of his position when he declined to serve longer as presi- dent of the Society in its present con- dition. No one who has attended the meetings this year could fail to see that it has fallen far short of being all that is implied in its name. There is no excuse for the continued existence of the MS. Society in its present status. It is nothing more nor less than a social club where some good music, and much music which is far from good, may periodically be heard. As for representing the highest attain- ments of American composers, the thought is absurd. There may be room for the existence of a social club of musicians, such as the society is, in effect, now, but they should be honest, and drop a name which stands for something far diff"erent. And there may be room, too, (we wish to believe so) for a society which shall give a hearing to the best works of American composers, and, in turn, command their interest and co operation. But if the MS. Society is to do this it must be completely reorganized." MUSICAL ECHOES Organ recital at TrinityChurch,San- ta Barbara, May 3d, marked the fare- well performance of Mr. A. L. Scott Brook. Program: Organ, Festal March, J. B. Calkin; Andante in E minor [Batiste]; Aria, Come Unto Me (Messiah) [Handel] Miss Edith Wads- worth; Organ, Offertoirein A, Lefebre Wely; violin. Serenade [Pierne] Mr. Gerald Lewis; Organ, March to Cav- alry, (Crucifixion) [Sir John Stainer]; In Memoriam; Aria, Awake ! Jerusa- lem! [Parker] Mr. Geo. Dufour; Or- gan, Allegro Moderato [Clark]; Aria, With Verdure Clad (Creation) [Haydn] Miss Wadsworth; Organ, Grand Easter Offertoire [Collin]; vio- lin, Cavatina [Bohm] Mr. Lewis; Organ, Hallelujah (Messiah) [Han- del]. Mr. A. L. Scott-Brook will leave Santa Barbara very soon, and al- though he has not been in Santa Bar- bara long, he leaves a host of friends who wish him success in his new home. Prof. Bonelli has recovered from a recent illness and is regularly at work again in his conservatory. Fanny Bloomfield-Zeisler, the gifted pianist, appeared recently with great success in Detroit. She played a Beethoven sonata, several miscella- neous numbers and a group from Chopin. Sig. Veaco, who sang last month in Los Angeles, taking the tenor role in the oratorio. The Seasons, was very highly complimented by the Southern press. We are just a little proud of Sig. Veaco ourselves, and it is grati- fying to hear words of praise for him away from home. The choir of St. James' Cathedral (French Catholic) gave a fine presen- tation of David's Christophe Colomb at their annual concert on the 15th of April at Windsor Hall, Montreal, Canada. The work of both chorus and orchestra," under the direction of Prof. Couture, was particularly good, as were also the solos. Mrs. Marriner-Campbell will con- tribute a chorus of twenty-five voices to sing Viva L' America [Millard] at the Hopkins' Art Reception to Mrs. McKinley and others of the dis- tinguished party on the afternoon of May i6th. Mrs. Campbell has har- monized the melody for female voices, also America, which will be sung by her class that numbers many very good voices. Miss Estelle Carpenter, head of the department of music in the public schools, led the children in the grand chorus of America at the annual cele- bration of teachers at Glen Park last Saturday. Miss Katherine Black, assistant in the supervision of music, alternated with Miss Carpenter in directing the school children's patri- otic songs. Miss Jennie M. Long acted as stage director. An organ recital was given Tues- day evening at St. John's Church, Stockton, by Lewis Thwaites, organ- ist of the church. The program in- cluded the D minor Toccata and Fugue [Bach], In Paradisum [Du- bois], Entre du Cortege, Elevation [Saint Saens], Pastorale in E major, F de la Tombelle and the Lemmens Pontifical March. The first public appearance of Miss Wertheimer, pianist, since her return from Europe, occurred in Sherman & Clay Hall Thursday evening last week. Miss Wertheimer was assisted by Mr. Oscar Frank, baritone; John R. Lewis, violinist; and Sigismundo Martinez, accompanist. The follow- ing program was rendered: Sonata, op. 5, F major [Grieg], Miss Wert- heimer and Mr. Lewis; song. Still Wie die Nacht [Bohm], Oscar Frank; Concertstueck, op. 92 G major [Schumann], Miss Wertheimer; Sec- ond Suite, op. 27 [Ries], Mr. Lewis; song, Am Mur [Schubert], Oscar Frank; Fantasie, op. 28, F sharp minor [Mendelssohn], Valse, op. 34, No. I Moszkowski, Miss Wertheimer. ! Mr. Henry Heyman directed the con- cert. Richard Redhead, who wrote the tune to which Rock of Ages is usu- ally sung, is dead. He had been or- ganist of St. Mary's Church, Pad- dington, London, since 1864. — Mary Frances Fra7icis The Grau Season The last monthly directors' meeting of the Grau Opera Company was held in New York at the Metropolitan Tuesday. "The treasurer has de- lighted us," said Maurice Grau, "by reporting there had been a profit on the season, although no dividend was declared. Next winter we will open in Montreal October 7th, and travel to San Francisco, giving performances for eleven weeks on the road before the season begins in New York Dec- ember 23. There will be eleven weeks of opera at the Metropolitan. The only artist positively engaged other than those already under contract is Mile. Calve. I shall select others after I go to Paris." Portland Likes Florence Roberts Says the Oregonian: A better com- pany than that sent to Portland by Belasco & Thall has never played at Cordray's. Miss Roberts is mak- ing friends in Portland. She is wise in selecting characters in which she is manifestly at her best, but her range is not small. By no means the least important feature of the Belasco-Thall productions is the scenery. Clearl}' no attempt has been made to econo- mize in that direction. All of the scenes are artistic and tasteful and all of them are elaborate to an unusual degree. An Education Free To any young lady who' plays the guitar or mandolin. Thc^econd year of the College of Mental Science, Seattle, Wash., opens July 15th, and a course in this great schrol will be given free to any young lady who de- sires an education in the new thought.
