The Savannah morning news., 1902-10-26
WITH MUSICIANS AND
MUSICAL PEOPLE.

the Frank Daniels Company and who
also sang THE Palms" so delightfully."-
at the First Baptist Church, renewed
many pleasant acquaintance whilst in
Savannah. Mr.. Baker says that he
feels as if Savannah were his second
home. Whilst he gladly pleased his
many friends by singing for them on
Sunday night, he said that in no other
place but Savannah would he have
done such thing, as a complete Sum-
days rest to company playing one
night stands, after the fatigues of six
days continuous travelling, is too well
coined thing to be interrupted by
any work.
The carpet now on the platform at
the Lawton Memorial will shortly be
removed and a hard floor laid. This
is done in the interest of the Music
Club. A carpeted floor detracts great
ly from the full tone of a piano and
also 1nterferes with the work of 70
callstS or other instrumentalists
When Holman was here last spring he
refused to play until the carpet had
been removed, and Campanari, who
will sing before the Music Club next
month, as well as the other artists
whom the club will present during the
season, would probably raise the same
objection. 1t will also be of great adj
vantage at the regular meetings of the
club to have only the hard floor. Rugs
VIII be tastefully arranged on the plat
form when the hall is used for other
purposes than concerts.
Mrs. N. ]. Alderman, who sang so
delightfully."- at the last meeting of the
Music Club, will sing in the concert
of the Arion Quartette on Tuesday
night at the Lawton Memorial. Mrs.
Ackerman has a soprano voice of good
quality and 1exibility, and her per-
formances always show a thorough and
intelligent study.
Thre will be three great pianists in
this country during this season, name
ly, Zeisler, Pugno and Gabrilowitsch.
Zeisler will not come to America until
the end of January, Gabrilowitsch is
already over here, and scored a ire
mendous success at the Worcester
(Mass.) Festival the early part of this
month, and Pugno arrived last week
and made his first appearance in New
York on the 21st, after making a big
hit in Boston with the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra on the 18th.
Mr.. A. C. Meyer will appear in con-
cert for the first time in Savannah on
Tuesday night, when he will play sew
eral compositions of the great masters
at the Arion quartette concert. Miss
Emma e. Coburn will preside at the
piano as accompanist for the evening.
There have been few voices among
the amateurs of Savannah which have
attained a development and beauty
equal to that of Miss Eleanor Allan.
Miss Allan possesses a contralto voice
OF good range, her execution is good
and her tones are of a rare mellow
ness and richness. She has been a pu-
pill of Mr.. F. E. Rebarer for a number
Of years, and now occupies the position
of contralto in the First Baptist
Church choir.

rendered by the Arion Quartette at the
Lawton Memorial Tuesday night:
