of money realized on the PadereWski
tour is golden will o. the wisp that
is likely to prove ruinous in several
instances. The fact that the Polish
artist is not coming to this country
has caused a general search to be made
for some artist who might duplicate
his success. Rosenthal is sure to do
so,- and he is preferred by many to
Paderewski. That, of course, is largely
matter of individual TASTE but it is
fact, nevertheless, that his name on
programme in Germany or England
is sure to draw a crowd. Martinus
Sievekins will be a newcomer to Ameri-
ca. He is a young man and physically
g. giant. His principle fault, it is said,
is a great amount of exuberance, due,
perhaps, to youth and inexperience.
Still, he is said to have the making of
great artist.
Rudolph Aronson brings over Teresa
Careno, and she is sure to have a warm
welcome, for New Workers hold warm
corner in their hearts for this greatest
as well as most beautiful of women
pianistes
With Rosenthal Sievekfng and Ca
reno, lovers of the piano are likely to
fare WELL
The violinistic field is left practically
to Carl Hair and Gregorowitch. Halir
is considered to be the biggest man
in his line, of course-in Germany. He
is one of the directors of the Royal
High School of Music in Berlin, where
they speak of him as the successor of
Joachim. He comes to this country
early in November for a short tour.
His New York debut will be at the
first concert of the Philharmonic So
ciety on Nov. IA.
Gregorowitch is a Russian, who has
achieved success in his own country,
as we'll as in Germany and Austria.
He is a young man who comes well
recommended. Gregorowitch will also
make his debut in New York in No
Vember.
In the vocal world the novelties will
principally consist of Camille Seygard
and Ella Russell. Nine Seygard is one
of the leading sopranos of the Theatre
de la Monnaie, in Brussels, and the
daughter of a famous musician. She
will begin tour of this country about
Nov. 5, making her first appearance at
one of the New York symphony con-
certs.
Miss Russell has been in England for
q number of years, and nothing definite
about her plans is reported.
David Bishpam also returns after a
long absence, and will be a member of
the Metropolitan opera house. In Lon
don he is a great favorite, and his ser
vices are much sought after.
w. P. Stall, director of the st. Pat
rick's church choir and West Side man
nerchor. is about to inaugurate choral
class for Young ladies'
Claude c. Madeira, who is studying
in Paris with Sbriglia, has also sung in
several concerts there, receiving many
make a short stay in Italy before his
return to ST. Paul in November.
The announcement by cable Tuesday,
of the sudden death, in Germany, of
Nine. Klafsky-Lohse, one of the lead
ing singers of the period, will neces-
state a change in the star list engaged
for the New York Metropolitan opera
season. The dead singer was to be the
chief artist of Herr Damrosch's staff
for the coming year. Nine. Klafsky-
Lohse Is well remembered in st. Paul
rcsch company which appeared here
last winter.
Although the Boston Symphony or
chestra has been In existence only since
1881. Its aggregate Of work done has
been so much greater than that of any
other orchestra In America, not ex-
cepting that OF the Philharmonic So
ciety. of this city, with it's fiftyfour
years of history, that 1t may be fairly
considered as the most representative
and effective body of musicians on this
side of the water. Maintained as it is
by Mr.. Henry L. Higginson, of Boston,
who kaS POn6 animal 6nfi0it which
Boston Symphony orchestra makes it
self q powerful musical influence, Mr..
amounts to a considerable sum, the
+. r. Gomez, assistant manager of the
Boston Symphony orchestra, has COM
piled from the records of the regular
concerts at Boston during the past if
teen years a number of interesting
statistics of the work done. The fol-
lowing figures tell an eloquent story:
Performances, 752; total number of
composers, 1913; total number of select.
ions, 1913; orchestral selections, 2270;
solo selections, 1,043; instrumental solos,
543: vocal solos, 800. The supremacy of
Beethoven over Wagner is shown by
the fact that the former was represent
ed 384 times on the programmes and the
latter 266 times.
Carl Hair, the great German violin
iSt and one of the directors of the Royal
pected to arrive in this country early
In November, for a short tour in Ameri-
ca Hair is considered by some as the
worthy successor of Joachim.
Nine Teresa Carreno, the famous
pianist, who begins her American tour
next January, has been devoting some
time to composition of late Her quar-
tette for string instruments and an in
termezzo have met with success in Ger
many. Nine. Carreno is now writing
a paraphrase for piano on American
Negro melodies.
William F. Pruette, for whom many
maid has sighed, has DOTTED the ro-
mantle halo of the operate star and
taken to vaudeville. Another star that
finds burlesque more profitable than
artistic effort.
