AMUSEMENTS RS, JOHN T. ROWE, chairman of the contest committee of the District Division, National Federation of Music Clubs, has just announced the winners in the vocal and instrumental contests hield last Tuesday in the Masonic Auditorium. Esther Melick, soprano, won the first place in the vocal contest and Elizabeth Winston won the District place in the pianists’ contest. Fsther Love of Balti- more won the Maryland title as a pianist, which was also contended for Tuesday at the Masonic Auditorium. . Similar contests are being held in Virginia and West Virginia. As soon as the results of these contests are known a second contest will be held in Washington, when the winners of the District n|_k'u\mnbm, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia contests will contend for the su- premacy. The winner of each department in this contest will be sent to the biennial festival of the federation, to be held in Asheville, N. C,, next « June. * %k ok ¥ AS_(lle Lenten season advances local music organizations are follow- ing rapidly upon each other’s heels with interesting programs. To- morrow night the Washington Choral Society will give its third concert this season under the able directorship of Charles Wengard. Thursday night the Motet Choral Society, directed by Otto T. Simon, will give a concert at Memorial Continental Hall for the benefit of the Foundlings’ Home and the summer camp for babies. Next week the Washington College of Music will put on an attractive program. e ’I’HE cantatas by Maunder have proved particularly popular with Epis- copal choirs this season. His “Penitence, Pardon and Peace” will be rendered by two choirs during Lent. It will be given Palm Sunday at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church and on Good Friday will be given at the Pinkney Memorial E opal Church of Hyattsville, Md. Maunder’s cantata, “From Olivet to Calvary,” will be given at the Chapel of the Transfiguration on Friday night. * k k ok HE RUBINSTEIN CLUB has just announced that the New Willard Hotel will be the permanent headquarters of the club in the future. ATl rehearsals, concerts and social activities of the society will be given there. Wednesday evening, April 4, has been chosen as the date for the annual dance and card party of the club. The club members, under the direction of Claude Robeson, will give several choral numbers during the evening and music for the dancing will be furnished by the Meyer Davis Orchestra. * X &% LFREDO CASELLA, composer-pianist, who will be assisting soloist with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra in their last concert here this season Tuesday afternoon, has been called a “musical inter- nationalist,” yet he claims to love his native land, Italy, devote and vhas worked hard for her artistic glory. The Paris Conservatory is his alma mater, and following his graduation he gave concerts in most of the European countries. He has conducted such orchestras of Furope as the Colonne, Lamoureaux, Philharmonic and the Concertgebouw of | Amsterdam. Signor Casella is now in his thirty-ninth year. * ¥ * X ASCHA HEIFETZ is second only to Kreisler himseli in the warmth of the welcome that Washington extends to him when he offers a concert in the Capital city. The brilliancy of the young musician’s violin interpretations and the excellence of his technique always charm. * ok k ¥ ALTHOUGH Emile de Gogorza has a Spanish name and heritage, he is an American, claiming Brooklyn, N. Y., as the city of his birth. He is of aristocratic lineage, and is related to some of the noblest of the English peerage. His wife is the famous soprano, Emma Eames. Mr. de Gogorza speaks seven languages fluently. * k ok Kk ABEL GARRISON, coloratura soprano, who will sing in Washington next Saturday night, will be accompanied on the piano by her pian- ist husband, even as Galli-Curci, who was with us a few weeks ago. There 1s no doubt that husbands have many uses, especially musical ones. ORD has come from Topeka, Kan,, that the ten-cent concerts by the Little Symphony Orchestra this past season have been unusually successful—so successful that it is going to give ten concerts nes year instead of eight. The Topeka Auditorium, where high-class music was given at 10 cents per head, was filled to capacity every performance, and it has a capacity of 3,300. The Little Symphony Orchestra has also arranged with the Minneapolis and St. Louis symphony organizations to lhave one or both full orchestras appear for two concerts in Topeka next vear at the same price as the highly successful Little Symphony Orche. tra of Kansas City, under the direction of N. de Rubertis. This is bring- ing the best in music within reach of every one in a literal degree that [Lovely could leave little to be desired. HELEN FETTER.
