MONDAY MUSIC CLUB
ANNOUNCES CONCERT COURSE.

The newly appointed committee of
the Monday Music Club has announced
the plans for the coming season, which
include the bringing to Mauitowoc Of
some of the worlds finest concert stars.
The season will open October 9th,
with a concert by the celebrated Tol-
lefson Trio, which is composed of Carl
H. Tollefson, the well known violinist,
Madam Schnabel Tollefsonn the pianist
from Berlin and William DArieuX the
brilliant 'cellist. The Tollefson Trio
is regarded by musical critics as Amer.
ica's greatest trio, and they are
known throughout the civilized
world on account of their talking ma
chine records which have found their
way into the homes of music lovers on
two continents: The second concert
will take place November DIST, ard
will serve to introduce to Mapitowoc
music lovers, brilliant combination
consisting of Permelia Gale, the re-
markable new meZzo-contralto, Cor.
nelius Van Vliet, the Dutch 'cellist
from the Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra, and Rudolph Reuter-, the dis
tinguished American concert pianist;
Madame Gale gained fame in a single
night, when called upon to take the
place of Schuman Heink at one OF the
large Spring Festivals only year ago.
The musical critics wherever Madame
Gale has appeared have all agreed that
this charming young singer possesses
one of the most entrancingly beautiful
voices in existence today. Cornelius
Ven Vliet needs little introduction to
Wisconsin, since he has made a place
for himself on account of his brilliant
work as solo ceIlst with the Minneap-
oils Symphony Orchestra. Rudolph
Reuter- has recently scored a sensation
al success with the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, and his playing is similar
to that of de Pachmann and Josef
Hoffman. The element of novelty will
be supplied by the Misses fuller, the
famous English folksingers, who were
prevented from appearing last season
on account OF illness. The Fuller
concert will take place January 10Th.
The fourth concert will be given by
the distinguished and celebrated Amer
lean Tenor, George Hamlin, whose
fame has grown TO such an extent
that he is now regarded as the greatest
tenor America has ever produced. Mr..
Hamlin has been one of the staunchest
advocates OF opera and concert in the
| English language, and his program for
Manitowoc will contain many exquisite
songs in English, which have not been
heard heretofore. Mr.. Hamlln is said
to have repertoire of over 500 songs,
which he can sing at a moments no
tice, and he is reported as being pleas
| cd To receive requests for special num-
bers. An innovation will be provided
the coming season when the Club will
present on Sunday March 18th, the cell
ebrated American baritone, Charles
W. Clark, in asacred song recital.
Not only will this afford local music
lovers an opportunity TO again hear
one OF the finest and most popular con-
cert artists, but also an opportunity
for hearing some of the worlds great.
est music in the form OF oratorio and
sacred song-music hich Is not often
heard in the concert halls. The seas
on will close with a concert April 10Th
by Maud Powell, the worlds greatest
woman yioinist, and the greatest VIC
lnist the American continent has ever
produced. Madam Powell is at the
zenith Of her powers and has enjoyed
sensational success during the past
season. In Seattle, Washington, she
drew such a tremendous audience al
her first concert that she was obliged
TO give two additional recitals in orde:
TO satisfy the demand of those who
