MUSIC NOTES

Hall Caine, the famous novelist, is
the latest to join John Mccormack
ever growing band of admirers. I'm
til recently the author Of THE Chris
tian" had not heard the tenor that
everybody else was talking about. but
when an opportunity offered to visit
o concert at which the young Irish
man was announced to sing, the cele-
! hrated Mr.. Game was among those
present.
The first song made a great impress
sion on the novelist, and when he had
heard Il few more numbers rendered as
he had never heard them before, he
was quite unable to keep his feelings
10 himself. After the concert, at any
rate, he took out one of his cards. on
which he wrote few words, and then
sent ii up to the artist
The message on the card was very
complimentary and read as follows:
This has been one of the delightful
treats of my life. Allow me TO thank
You for and compliment you on the
most beautiful and human singing
I've ever listened to-
Mr.. Mccormack will sing here the
evening Of April IA. at the Palace
Ballroom Washington and Bleecl1er
streets.
Arrangements have been completed
for a select pianoforte recital by Miss
Estella Neuhaus at p. M.
tomorrow Mt Aeolian Hall. New
York. This will be the first
of two recitals by this remarkably
clever Hungarian German pianiste.
Miss Nehaus being q lover of chill
dren, usually aids some organization
that has the welfare of homeless tots
at heart. She believes that he who
helps child helps humanity, and has
| always set aside one-third of her
earnings to such a charity. The chill
dren's department of the State Chart
ties Aid Association will ON this oc-
casion be the beneficiary. From the
number of subscriptions so far re-
ceived II appears that many friend
less and homeless children will be
aided through her kindness.
Miss Neuhaus ranks as one of the
very few great pianlsts, because Of
her technique, careful study of melody
and her high sense Of values In nu-
ance and dynamics. She has been re-
ferred to on many occasions as the
female Paderewski."
Her second recital will be given
April 81. the program for which will
be equally as interesting as the one
she will render next Tuesday after
noon and will comprise scores by the
great masters.

recital at Carnegie Hall Saturday,

Miss Edna Wolverton, of this city,
who is soprano soloist of the M. r.

mirable singing at the concert OF the
