Under Club Auspices

The Music Study club, which is
sponsoring series of all-star con-
certs to be given at the Rylandek'

Hinshaw Concert Quartet.
William Wade Hinshaw has ac-
cepted the invitation of the Asso-
ciated Musical Bureaus to present
en- tour to concert courses this new
kind of program entirely by male
voices, making at once novel,
cahrming and delightful male quar-
tet entertainment. +
The program consists of an hour
of concert numbers made up of pop
ular arias, songs, duets and quartets,
selected from the best operate and
concert literature, followed by the
musical farce comedy, "Cox and
Box" in costume.
The delightful and fascinating
Cox and Box" is a triumviretta"
for men, in one act, adapted to the
Lyric Stage from J Madison Nor
tons Farce, "Box and Cox" or ''The
Long Lost Brothers," by the cele-
brated English author, F. C. Burn
and, and the music is composed by
the noted Sir Arthur Sullivan, whose
collaboration with the great Irish
wit" Sir William S. Gilbert, pro-
duced the well known and much
loved colbert and Sullivan operas:
1.-THE Mikado," "Pinafore," Pirates
of Penzance," and others, all of
which Mr.. Hinshaw has recently pro-
duced with the wonderfully success
full Society of American Singers at
the Park theater in New York city.
The music of "Cox and Box" is en-
trancingly beautiful and on a par
with Sullivan's other operate compo.
sitions, and the play" is continu-
Gus laugh" from beginning to end.
Mr. hinshaw has assembled and per-
sonally drilled four young artists
whose voices, all of unusually fine
type and timbre, range and power,
have been trained by recognized vo-
cal masters, and whose artistry has
been successfully demonstrated
through several seasons appearances
as concert, oratorio and operate So
loists. They are James Wolf, of the
Chicago Opera association, second
bass; Joseph Wetzel, first tenor;
James Snedden Weir, second tenor
and pianist; Pierre Narrower, first
bass.
February IA, the Tollefsen trio will
present superb musical program by
artists of recognized ability. Since
1904, when Carl Tollefsen first form
ed the trio, the three players have
crossed and recrossed the country
lnnumerabIe times, carrying the
message of pure music into many
and many a community that had new
er enjoyed the benefits which only
music of this kind may confer, ever
appealing to the highest artistic
taste and never deviating from the
paths of artistic righteousness.
Theirs has been in sa many cases
missionary work; theirs has been the
privilege of Stimulating interest in the
best that music has to offer.
The course of the Tollefsens' his
tory has been that of steady growth.
From a modest beginning of con-
certs given in their home city, Brook
lyn, where Mr.. and Mrs. Tollefsen
were we'll known teachers of music,
they have gradually widened their
scope Of their activities, have from
year to year enlarged the field of
their concert-giving. Every passing
season has witnessed the names of
new cities in which they have play
ed, yet at the same time every year
has signalled their return to the
familiar places. 1t is nacknowledg
ed fact that no organization has
enjoyed the number of re-engage-
ments that has marked the course
of Tollfsen history.
