nouncement that George Vause is
soon to go on tour with Madame
Margarete Matzenauer, leading con-
tralto of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, as her accompanist. The
trip will include tour of the South,
the Middle West, the New England
and Eastern States and will take up
the entire winter season. Madame
Matzenauer returns this month from
Europe to begin rehearsals with Mr..
Vause. The latter has passed a
busy summer preparing her pro-
grams and practicing a repertoire of
piano solos. He will of course play
group fsolos at each concert.

artist, the First Presbyterian church
