CYMBALON
Rialto Orchestra Makes
Addition of Ancient
Instrument.

introduction OF the cymbalon, a
unique musical instrument little
used in this country, to the Rialto
Symphony Orchestra today is ex-
pected to prove a novel, addition
to local musical circles.
The instrument, which is of He
braiC origin. was developed by the
Hungarians, who formerly accepted
it as their national instrument Its
scope embraces that Of a miniature
orchestra and it is said to be very
difficult of execution. Musical ex-
perts pronounce its effect as giving
the impression of a harp and piano
combined. The instrument is now
used in only one other orchestra
in the country, that one in a New
York theater.
Bella Zsiga, reputed to be a mas
ter OF the instrument. will play it
in the Rialto orchestra. Mr.. Zsiga
was born in New York City and
is OF Hungarian parentage.
Daniel Breeskin, conductor of the
Rialto orchestra, has selected the
Second Hungarian Rhapsody" as
the overture for this week, in
which. he says, opportunity is af-
forded to display the scope of the

tsPtttal 10 w
New York, Sept. 4.-Bizet's Gar
men" has been chosen for the inau-
gural offering of the San Carlo
Grand Opera season beginning Mon
day night, September 20, at the
Manhattan Opera House. This per-
formance will celebrate the return
Of the Manhattan to its original
purpose after a lapse Of ten years
since Oscar Hsmmerstein's last per-
formance of grand opera there. The
house comes back into the posses
sion of Mrs. oscar Hammerstein,
widow of the great impresario. on
September 1.
The title role OF Carmen" is to
be interpreted by Alice Gentle, the
American mezzo- soprano "discov-
cred" by Hammerstein ten years
ago. Miss Gentle was to have made
her first Carmen" appearance in
the subsequent season which. how
ever, was abandoned when the Man
haitian impresario made his mem
orable deal eliminating himself
and his theaters from the grand
opera field for ten years.
Consequently Miss Gentle's COM
ing appearance in this opera will be
in the nature of a debut ten year,
deferred. In the meantime she has
sung at La Scala, Milan, the Ma
cionale in Havana and with the
Metropolitan here. Her Carmen"
as yet unknown to New York, comes
with endorsements from Chicago,
San Francisco and other cities where
she has sung this role.

MONTEUX TO CONDUCT

Looming upon the horizon of
washington's approaching musicai
season is the series of five concerts
by the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
to be given under the direction OF
Mrs. wilson-Greene at the New Ma
tional Theater, for which tickets by
subscription are now being sold
Pierre Monteux. the conductor
whose sympathetic readings and ad-
ruinistrative skill were so wen-liked
last season, and whose wisdom and
initiative in the making Of pro-
grams were so warmly praised, VIII
continue as leader. Returning re-
Gently from Europe, where he has
spent the summer, he brought with
him some scores of much promise.
Mr.. Monteux's proficiency with the
accepted masterpieces of the orches-
tral repertory is, however. Of the
first Importance.
The historically eminent Boston
Symphony Orchestra assemblies this
season virtuosi Of the highest skill
which our time affords, in readiness
TO celebrate according to the best
of its traditions its fortieth ami
vcrsary.
The Washington concerts are to
take place on the following five
Tuesday afternoons: November ?.
November 80, January 4, February
I, March 10. Each of them viii
lie made the moro interesting by
the assistance of one Of the fore
most soIoists available. There will
be two sopranos. Helen Stanley
whose sudden and complete fame
as a star of the Chicago Opera Com
pany several seasons ago was only
euuaIled by her subsequent recital
tours Of the United States. Hulda
Lashanska, the Scandinavian So
prano, is also a iavOrite in every
city where beautiful singing Is
heard. The stamp of her striking
individuality and the suggestion of
northern blood notably cOlOrs her
interpretations. Among the viOlon-
ceIIists now in America, Jean Be
detti. the leader of that golden
toned section Of the great orchestra,
is fast taking a foremost place. He
came to this country last winter
from France, where he is ranked as
the first Of his instrument.
Alfred CortOt is certainly Frances
first pianist. In Europe this versa
tile artist is also known and revered
as the organizer and conductor of
choral concerts on a large scale
also as "repetiteur'' at Bayreuth. To
US, two seasons of the most brilliant,
wOndrously clear and poetic piano
playing are eloquent assurance of
his ability. Thiss musician is to be
heard here with the orchestra, as
will another pianist who has not
been heard in this country for some
years-ErnO DOhnanyi. As was the
case with Rachmaninoff most Of US
know him only by his compositions
in various fOrms-and by echoes
from the capitals of Europe of his
high executive fame. He is now on
his way to the United States.

Potter Studies with Hutcheson.

Louis Potter. jr-, speaks enthusi-
astically Of the month, beginning
July II. he spent studying with
Ernest HutChesOn. head of the
piano department of the Chautau-
qua Summer Schools at Chautauqua,
New York. Mr.. Potter's program
appears to have occupied every mo-
ment OF his waking hours. He had
one private lesson each week; he
was a member of the concert class
which met twice a week, and he
was in the company of about $50
which attended Mr.. HutCheson's in
terpret tatiye or lecture recitals which
were held four times a week. After
attending these sessions and prac-
ticing several hours a day Mr.. Pot
ter's time was his own.
During the course of the lecture
recitals Mr.. HUtcheson played
t~enty-fOur programs from mem
ory. The compositions showed the
development Of piano music from
the earliest composers to the mod
ern writer's. One of the most en-
joyable features of Mr.. Potter's
visit to the Chautauqua was the
concerts given by the New York
Symphony Orchestra four times a
week. This number was increased
to seven during the week of August
8. At one OF these concerts Mr..
Hutcheson played Liszt's Concerto
in Z Flat Major" in his usual bril-
liant manner.
