The Savannah morning news., 1903-10-18

lists in that city last season, and much
interest awaits his first public perform
ance here.
Next Thursday, night, the 22nd, the
chorus of the Music Club, under the di-
rection of Miss Coburn, will be reor-
ganized. Miss Coburn has called the
meeting for $50 o'clock at the Lawton
Memorial. Through the indefa tigable
efforts and persistent work of Mrs. w.
P. Bailey and the other members of
the Programme Committee of the club,
every person fitted to assist in the cho-
rus work has been seen and notified
of this meeting, and all are expected
to be present. The excellent results
accomplished by the chorus last sea-
son has stimulated every member of it
towards continuation of its good
work. and they will enter upon the
work this season with a renewed zeal
and interest. Miss Coburn has deter
mined to have the rehearsals of the
chorus this season only on the alter
nate Thursday evenings from those of
the club meetings, instead of attempt
ing to have rehearsals on the meeting
nights at the conclusion of the pro-
gramme, as heretofore. At the re-
hearsal on next Thursday night it will
be decided on definitely what work will
be taken up first.
After an absence of about a year
spent in travelling around the world,
Miss ISABEL Smart returned to the city
on Friday morning. Prior to leaving
here Miss Smart was one of the most
prominent members of the Music Club,
and was a member of the board of
managers during several seasons.
Among the foremost pianists she will,
in all probability, again associate her
self with the club and give to it the
same interest in its affairs that she
formerly did.
The many friends here of Mrs. DR..
Fuehr nee Miss H. Marion SmarD,
will regret to learn that she has been
seriously i'll in Kobe, Japan, with ty-
phoid fever. The last accounts of her,
however, on the 10Th of September,
were that she was convalescent. AS
Miss Smart. she was well known here
as one of the most accomplished and
artistic pianists, of which Savannah
has ever been able to boast. 1t was
source of deep regret when she
moved from here. and the time when
she may return and once more be
heard again is anticipated with pleas
ure by every person in musical circles
here. For a year she studied in Ger
tirely through her efforts that Carreno
was brought to Savannah for a recital
three years ago. 1t was also larSelY
through her efforts that the artist con-
certs of the Music Club were insti-
tuted.
After an absence of six months spent
in travelling in Europe, Mr.. Adolh
Sundheimer, vice president of the Music
Club, returned to the city on Friday
morning. On the occasion of the per-
Torrance of one of the Wagnerian
operas in Germany Mr.. Sundheimer
had the pleasure of meeting with Herr
Andreas Wippel, who spoke most
pleasantly of Savannah despite the
unfortunate attendance at the recital
given here by him last November.
Miss Alberta du Four has seldom
appeared in better voice than at the
choir recital of st. Paul's Lutheran
Church on last Tuesday evening. Her
solo Il will Extol Thee Costa, was
admirably done, and was one of the
best numbers of the evening. Miss de
Four is a very pleasing and popular
young singer here, and always meets
with warm reception.
With the steadily increasing inter
est in music of all kinds and classes
in this community, there is a con-
stantly increasing number of per-
