Hark! the Lark, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1 1 , and Venezia e Napoli, Tarantelle e Canzona. I have heard previously and she does some very brilliant work in them for one of her years. Concerto Symphonique D Minor, [Litolff], the orchestral parts on a second piano by Mrs. Oscar Mansfeldt one of the best local pianists completed the program. ACROSS THE BAY While spending a day in Berkeley last week, I looked up my old friends, the Piutti's, and was delighted to find the Piutti School of Music has prospered in Berkeley and heard from every side how highly Mr. and Mrs. Piutti's work is appreciated there. They still retain their classes in San Francisco. The School is in a cosycottage, the climbing roses giving it a cheerful appearance. One evening lately a recital was given which Mr. Rodgers, the pianist of San Francisco, told me was a most enjoyable affair. The program was Characteristic Sonata opus. 81 A [Beethoven], First Movement, The Farewell, Mr. Chas. Dutton; Cradle Song [Bendel], Miss Ethel Hastings; Sonata in F sharp major op. 78 [Beethoven], Mrs. Josephine Crew-Aylwin; Adagio from Sonate pathetique [Beethoven], Why, from Phantastie — Stuecke [Schumann], Mr. Stewart Haight; Nocturne in G minor [Chopin], Miss Amy Broome; Fischerlied [Lange], Mr. Edgar Thomas; Berceuse [Chopin], The Two Skylarks [Leschetitzky], Mr. Dutton; Nocturne [Lange], Miss Thyrza Kimmel; Minuetto [Schubert], Roy vStewart; Second Mazurka [Goddard], Miss Fannie Watrous; Carillon de Louis XIV [Neustedt], Miss Annette Wilson; Nocturne in E major, Ballad in A fiat major [Chopin], Mrs. Josephine Crew-Aylwin. LOS ANGELES MUSIC Last Tuesday a violin recital was given at Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, Los Angeles, by Miss Anna Spahr Henry thirteen years of age, and said to be very talented. Her brother Victor assisted in readings. Little Edna Darch, pianist pupil of Herr Thilo Becker, made her initial appearance at Blanchard Hall, Los Angeles, Monday evening. Friday of last week the Symphony Orchestra gave a concert in Los Angeles, when the following program was rendered: Overture Tannhauser [Wagner]; Unfinished Symphony in B minor [Schubert]; Andante Cantabile from (Quartet op. 1 1 [for strings alone] by Tschaikowsky; Ah Perfido from Fidelio [Beethoven]; Fourth Concerto in D minor [Vieuxtemps] and other selections. The soloists were Madame Genevra Johnstone-Bishop and Herr Arnold Krauss. The Treble Clef Club held an intersting meeting at the home of Mrs. Ferdinand Heine, 1320 Carroll Avenue, last week. Madame Isadora Martinez the club's musical director, read a delightful paper, Ancient Forms of Music Among Various Nations. At the monthly gathering in May she will speak of Music from the Middle Ages to Modern Times. MUSICAL ECHOES Miss Sadie Walsh, pupil of Joseph Greven, has published her first song, Neath the Twinkling Stars, which it is hoped will find favor with the public. Cyrus Brownlee Newton, the clever reader and impersonator, and several pupils, gave a program at the Central Methodist Church last week. Mr. Jenkins made quite a hit in Hello and kept his audience merry while he read. Mme. Inez Carnsi, the harpest, said to be a very fine performer, and formerly connected with the Seidel, Damrosh and Augustine Daly's Orchestras played at the last concert of Mark Hopkins' Institute Thursday of last week under the direction of Henry Hey man. Mrs. Baird, the female baritone, visited the Dramatic Re.view office last week and said it was her intention to go into vaudeville if the opportunity 1 offers. I heard her at a couple of concerts last season, when she made a decided hit, and she would certainly be a drawing card on the Orpheum circuit. The Saturday Morning Orchestra, in which are numbered some of the most prominent young ladies of the city, gave a successful concert at ShermanClay Hall on Saturday night, when in addition to a well-rendered program of the orchestra, Miss Dorothy Goodsell, daughter of the late J. Goodsell, the well-known mining man, made her debut as a singer. Mrs. Jessie Dean Moore held an afternoon reception Wednesday at 1508 Fell Street, when she and several of her pupils rendered vocal selections. Mrs. Frances Hodge, who possesses a very lovely soprano voice, sang Tosti's Spring Song among other numbers. Mrs. Caine, contralto, gave Dreams [Bartlett] in romantic and wholly pleasing style. Mrs. Jessie Dean Moore rendered the Jewel Song from Faust. Her dramatic soprano voice was heard to great advantage and she was highly complimented upon her voice and her pupils' work. — Mary Frances Francis. Thinking of Faust : Mephisto (to latest arrival in Hades) — "Well, what do you think of me?" The arrival (a patron of the opera) — "To tell the truth, you don't come up to my expectations; you ought to see Edouard de Reszke in the part." — Puck. Subscn be for The Dramatic Review.
