| ing musical atmosphere said a man.
 "There is scarcely a community of D., 00o or 30,000 population that does not fos- tes music as an educative influence, and such communities have the opportunits of hearing a symphony orchestra oeea- sionally, to say nothing of yirtuoso re- citals.
 Ut used to be that in only two or three of the great big cities large sym phony orchestras were maintainedi but it is getting to be the thing for cities oe even the 1O0,OOO to 100000 class to sup port q local symphony orchestra. Cities like Atlanta and Memphis must depend to a considerable extent, I would say, upon amateur players, although the the atre musicians are utilized to advantage and have the prominent places in the orchestra.
 Birmingham is as well off in professional orchestra material as any southeren city outside of New Orleans, perhaps better; and in a year or two it will be in order for some one to organize a symphony as sociation. But if we are to utilize the theatre players rehearsals would have to be held in the forenoon and the concerts on Sunday afternoons. There is, l be- lieve, a city ordinance which prohibits Sunday concerts except for charity or on the private subscription plan; but in this enlightened age all high-class music IS regarded as elevating and religious, and that being so. the city authorities would not be slow 10 modify the law.
 T am told that Atlanta has a first rate orchestra, but the most ambitious orchestra anywhere in the south Is the Memphis Symphony. The conductor, MT. Bloom, was in Birmingham early in the fal las a guest of his son-in-law and daughter. MT and Mrs. Laurence Block. In the last weeks Musical Courier cor respondent has this to say: The Memphis Symphony orchestra concert series was formally opened Thursday night, Novem- Der r, in the Lyceum theatre. The house was packed to the farthest galleries and a more enthusiastic audience of brilliant men and women in gorgeous gowns and sparkling jewels can scarcely be imag- ined. The south, and particularly Mem phis, Is ready for good music, and the fact was demonstrated at this opening symphony concert. The Lyceum, one of the prettlest little theatres in the south, was exquisitely decorated for the oc- caslon. The boxes, adorned with cut flowers and autumn leaves, were occupied by the ustra fashionable of the city and surrounding towns. The orchestra, Jacob Bloom, director, was at it's best, and from the opening number, "Ruy Bias" over ture by Mendelssohn. to the closing, "Act from Ballet" by Delibes. the audience was thoroughly pleased and proud of It's new musical possession. The soloists were Gracia Ricardo and Boris Ham bourg Madame Ricardo was pleasing in the aria from Aida which was probably her best number Boris Hamburg, cell ist played both himself and his instru- ment into the hearts of his hearers ''The Swan." by Saint-Saens and "The Foun- tain" by Davidoff, were his opening numbers, and were delightfully."- given

 T love dearly America, and think often Of all the success I had there and will always keep that dear and splendid coun- try in affectionate memory in my heart" Mime. Nilsson first appeared in New York in 1870, heralded by this terse an- rouncement of Max Strakosch, who brought her to this country: s'I am bringing to you Swedish singer whose voice will entrance you" New York, accustomed to large and magnificent promises, nodded a bland and uninterest- ed head and waited, and the waiting was greeted by surprise such as had not been experienced for many years, for her first note proclaimed Christine Nilsson an artist and by the end of the evening she had created furore. With no fuss or ado of any kind, she sang herself into the hearts of the brilliant and critical assembly of music lovers before whom she made her debut and burned her name = Christine Nilsson-into their memories. Through her art and her own personal charm she won the American public, and became as much the favorite of American as she had been of European audiences.
 During recent years Mme. Nilsson has appeared both in Sweden and on the continent at some of the great charity concerts, and those who have had the privilege of hearing her sing, all testify to her possessing still in remarkable de- gree the beauty and charm of voice that had made her famous.
 Her winter home is in Paris and her summers are usually spent in Sweden.
