teacher of the voice she brings not only
an excellent method, rare understand

teacher is not apt to be successful.
Her magnetic personality enables her

pupils recltals given in st. Paul in re-
cent years have been arranged by her
and have served to introduce her many
talented pupils Although a Southern,
er. by BIRTH, Mrs. McFarran has lived,
long, enough : in st. Paul to become
closely identified with the musical pro-
fession here. She is member of the
Schubert club, of the st. Paul Choral
club, and of the Minnesota State Mu-
sic Teachers association. Her students
have frequently appeared in the must
calls of the. students section Of the
Schubert club, and whenever they have
done so their success has reflected
credit on their teacher.
Mrs. McFarran studied in the East
and in the West to fit herself for the
profession of vocal teacher, and each
summer pursues some special line of
study that bears an intimate relation
to her work in teaching. Last summer
she spent in New York coaching with
Signor Raeffello de la Marco and Nine.
Eugene. Pappenheim for the operas.
She also coached with Gwilym Miles
for oratorio. Mrs. McFarran has been
urged by discriminating judges, both
East and West, where she has studied
to enter upon public career, for which
she is enninently fitted by her voice,
art and dramatic talent. Duties lying
nearer home have conflicted with this

John A. Jaeger, prominent as tenor
soloist, teacher of voice and piano, has
before him what promises to be most
successful musical career. When still
very young Mr.. Jaeger showed great
musical aptitude, and at the age of
seven began his musical studies. Later
he took course in piano, violin and
harmony at the conservatory of the
Ohio Wesleyan university in Delaware,
Ohio. Five years ago Mr.. Jaeger dis
covered that he had voice worth Gull
tivating, SO he put the violin aside and
began tC study vocal art instead. For
five years he has been studying with
the best voice instructors in ST. Paul,
and also with Frank A. Tubbs, of New
York. He is now the tenor soloist of
the Dayton Avenue Presbyterian
church. He has also been a member Of
the OrpheuS male Quartette since it's
organization three years ago. Mr. Jae-
ger has sung with success in the prom
inent church quartettes of the city, the
Peoples, the House of Hope. the Day.
ton Avenue Presbyterian church. and
the Park Avenue Congregational church
of Minneapolis.
Like other successful musicians, Mr..
Jaeger has closely identified himself
with the musical organizations of city
and state. He was recently elected
vice president of the Professional
league of st. Paul, and secretary and
treasurer of the Minnesota State Mu-
sic Teachers association, and he takes
an active interest in every effort made
by musicians to increase the apprecia-
ton for good music in the city and the
state. Mr.. Jaegers tenor is of fine
quality. 1t constantly takes ON more
finish, and to hear him sing is to be
convinced that he studies intelligently
the meaning of words and music before
he attempts to interpret either. He
sang at one of the concerts given by
the Minnesota State Music Teachers
association during its convention held
recently in Duluth, and a local paper
had the following to say of his work
"A group of four tenor solos by Dvorak,
'Wird dOch die Liebe,' Ich schleich 'um
jenes Haus Herum,' I'm Suessen Bann,
and Ich weis dass meiner Lieb 'zu dir,
were sung by John A. Jaeger, of ST.
Paul. Mr.. Jaeger's voice is tenor of
rare sweetness combined with consid-
cradle power, and in the four songs
was displayed in all its beauty" He is
member OF the musical coterie that is
located in the Raudenbush building.

voices have been unusual, and these
have enhanced their teachers reputa-
ton, but what has counted most, of
course, has been the fact that her
method has been thorough and up to
date. Miss Alcott was born in CIeve-
land and was graduated from the
Northwestern musical conservatory
there. She studied for four years with
Nine. Won FeilitzSch, then in New York,
but now in Paris. About twelve years
ago Miss Alcott came to ST. Paul and
for some time divided her time equally
between st. Paul and Minneapolis. In
the latter city she was associated with
j. Warren Andrews, now organist in
the Church of the Divine Fraternity in
New York city. She became men,
Der of the First Baptist church quar-
tette and for ten years was the So
prano soloist in that church. Her work
increasing in this city, Miss Alcott was
obliged to- give up her studio work in
Minneapolis, and since then her work
has been confined altogether to this
city, although many out Of town pupils
have come to her. Miss AlcOtt pos
sesses a strong, clear soprano voice of
good range and tone, and she has sung
frequently before st. Paul and Mime
apolis audiences. For many seasons
she was the soprano soloist for the
opening concert of the Seibert orches-
trail series, when her voice charmed
large audiences. Miss May Huffsmith,
the promising young dramatic soprano
whose death occurred recently, was one
of Miss Alcott's talented pupils. She
had laid the foundation for an operate
career when death cut short an inter-
esting career. Miss Alcott is associat-
ed with Miss Hope and Miss Furber
in the Chamber of Commerce build
ing, where she has two of the most
charming studios in the city.

Miss -Corinne Maxwell is one of the
younger musicians of the city who has
met with most gratifying success in
her chosen her chosen profession as
teacher of stringed instruments, es-
pecially of the violin, mandolin and
guitar. Miss Maxwell studied in the
East with the famous Valentine Abt.
To genuine talent she has added
technical equipment that is astonish-
ingly complete and that enables her
to take her place in the front rank
of musicians. Miss Maxwell is mem
Der of the teaching faculty of the
Young Mems Christian association. of
this city. For the past five years she
has taught music there, having organ
lied the guitar and mandolin orches
ira which is so attractive feature Of
the association. Miss Maxwell directs
this orchestra, which is made up of
twelve of her pupils. During the win
ter she has had a studio in the Rau-
denbush building, but she has devoted
her summers to advanced work in her
chosen profession. Miss Maxwell re-
Gently received an offer from the Pills
bury academy, of -OWatonna, to be-
come a member of the faculty of that
institution, her work to be similar TO
that which she has been doing in the
Y. NJ. G.. A. She is still considering
this offer.
The musical career of this talented
young woman is practically all before
her. But she has. satisfactorily DEM
onstrated her ability. and her future
is full of promise. Apart from her Y.
M. c. A. work she has had a large
class of pupils. She has displayed,
too executive ability in aiding the
institution with which she has been
connected in this city to arrange it's
entertainment course and it is partly
owing to her efforts that st. Paul has
been afforded the pleasure of listening
to so many of the famous masters.

and has brought out a number of sing
ers who have become prominent, both
on the concert stage and as teachers.
An excellent example of her success is
Miss Florence Marion Pace, the young
soprano, who studied for six years with
Mrs. Henderson. Miss Pace was Sc
lected from number of applicants to
fill an important church position in
Chicago, and her success in that city
reflects credit on her teacher. Among
other pupils of Mrs. Lamberson, who
have left st. Paul and found success,
are: Mrs. Julia Youngman Comstock,
a lyric soprano, of Washington, D. c.,
and Mrs. c. w. Gardner, a charming
singer of Minneapolis.
Pupils have come to the Lamberson
studio from Iowa, North and South Da-
kotas, and other surrounding states,
where her good work has long been
known. Miss Hackney and Miss Nc
Kown are two very talented young
women who are at present studying
with Mrs Lamberson. and who will be
brought out next season. These PROM
ise to win fresh laurels for their teach,

fessional musician has been one of the
most successful and interesting in tho

can be easily retained by those who
have little knowledge of music; but it
is .Unforgiven" and Memories" that
will most surely add to their compos-
er's fame as musician. Both songs
are lndescrlbably pathetic, breathing
that saddest thought which the poet
has associated with the sweetest songs.
The harmony in both songs is excellent
and the melody of each is most APP
pealing. Not only are they admirable
compositions. but they promise a bril-
liant future for Madame Valisi in this
line of work.
Madame Constance Locke-Nalisi came
to st. Paul from Chicago. Her health
had broken down in the latter, city, and
she was in hope that the more invig-
Grating air of the Sanity city. would
aid her in recovering it. She opened a
studio in the Raudenbush building and
her piano classes grew rapidly. For
sevems years she had been associated
with 1.-THE American conservatory in
Chicago as teacher of the piano, and
she had more than local reputation
in the concert world SO that her es
tablishment in this city was welcomed
by all interested in the advancement Of
music Since She has taken up her

captivated them both as solo pianist

proved very favorable to her, however,
and as soon as her health is completely
restored she will doubtless resume her
place on the concert stage. Just now
her piano classes are absorbing all her
