critic and lecturer. He is one of the
few American pianists to have been
heard with the representative orches'
tras Of the country, having appeared
with the Thomas, New York Sym
phony, Minneapolis Symphony and
Boston orchestra. He is musical
editor of the Chicago Tribune and a
member of the extension faculty Of the
University of Chicago. ... .~a. Z.
His standing as pianist Is sufh'
GENTLY attested to by the cordial greet
ing given him by the music lovers OF
Chicago-who should know him best
and who filled Music Hall, on the oc'
casion of his recent recital, despite the
competition offered by Vladimir de
Pachmann and John Mccormack, who
were giving recitals in adjoining audi
forums at the same hour. OF this re-
cital Eric Delamater said:
Glenn billiard Gum accepted the
dare of his fellow pianists and came
forth and played a recital of unique
interest. In his audience were nearly
all the victims of his pen, and this
solid phalanx would be enough to
strike terror into anyone's heart, even
it they had not came out partly to see
how a man who preached in loud,
clear voice put his sermons into prac-
tice. They found that he not only did
apply his own texts, but the he made
his points brilliantly. His recital was
a great success. 1t was heard by one
of the largest audiences assembled in
Music Hall this season."
Oscar seagIe, Baritone
January II
For some time, in fact, since the
artists course was inaugurated by the
department of music, many requests
have been made to bring Oscar Seagle
to Valley City. Mr.. Seagle has been
secured to sing in the auditorium in
January, and comes as one whom the
critics call "a master of his art" He
is possessed of many Of the subtlest
and most charming qualities in the
art of vocalism, that give his singing,
considered as an exemplifcation Of
that art, great value and interest.
When Mr.. Seagle recently appeared in
New York, Mr.. Max Smith, musical
critic for the Times, wrote, "All teach
ers and students of singing in New
York should have been in Carnegie
Hall yesterday afternoon-and many
of them were-to hear Oscar Seagle
give an object lesson in pure bel can
to. Indeed, with the exception of
Bonci, not one singer heard here in re-
cent years has shown even approx
mately the technical mastery which he
revealed on this occasion to an eager
ly interested audience of connoisseurs.
Such a perfect command of vocalism
as this baritone can boast is extreme
ly rare in these days." Mr.. Seagle
sings in the auditorium soon after the
holidays.

place for herself in the affection of
the music-loving public. At the close
of her study abroad, Nine. North made
her debut in Berlin with signal sue
cess and has continued constantly
since then, to grow in achievement and
