Jules Falk, Il pupil of Prof. Ottokar
Sevick and later of Ysaye. has
achieved too much by his energy. ar
tistic enthusiasm and personality to
require much in the way of eXploita-
tion to lovers of violin music. He
possesses beautiful instrument,
from which he draws beautiful tones,
and his playing is direct and un-
marred by mannerisms.
Miss Wentworth Is singer of
great charm and magnetic person
ality. with a voice of wonderful
richness and beauty. She toured the
United States and Canada in 1852
and appeared two successive seasons
with the Chicago symphony Orches-
ira. Her voice is fresh, clear and
mellow and she knows full we'll how
best to use 1t.

Likewise it's aims are practically iden-
tical with these other instruments, for
first the voice must be well placed,
and then it must adequately express
emotion and at the same time be
technically perfect.
Il was especially fortunate" Mrs.
Fiske continued, ''in having Victor
MoreIle for a teacher. and l believe

He was once very famous grand
opera singer, and afterward retired
to become teacher of singing. 1t
was then that he discovered the pos
sibilities of training the speaking
voice. and his instruction has been of
invaluable aid to me-"
Mrs. Fiske is not one of those
actresses whose art relies upon their
gowns. In fact. they are of a very
minor importance to her. but her
stage appearance was very effective
in her costume Of orchid velvet. The
gown was made on lines of classic
simplicity, with a low wasted blouse
which continued into skirt panels at
the front and back. The neck was
distinctly F'lorentine, and. of course,
had no collar, and the long sleeves
of georgette, which were made on

in at the wrists with bracelets OF
small jet beads. Gathered panels ap-
peared at each side of the skirt, and

hold them in place at the waist line

with a quill at one side as the only
