Josephine Lucchece Coming to Sing Here

San Antonio will hear Josephine
Lucchese in concert this spring for
the last time in several years, as q
result of the young and beautiful so
prano's decision to tour Texas prior
to sailing for an extended stay in
Europe.
/ While a nationwide concert tour
has been arranged for the Texas girl
who has climbed TO the highest pin
acles of musical success this coming
winter, Texas had not been included
in the bookings.
The thought of leaving the United
States for long stay in Europe with
out once more seeing her native state
was too much for the American night
ingale, and she herself decided upon
a Texas tour to start i'll March.
William II. Branch of this civ will
direct the bookings in association with
the Caruso Music Bureau of Phila-
delphla, Nine. Lucchese's eastern rem
resentatiyc.

Mr.. Branch said. land she is anxio,,s
TO appear once more before her homo
folks before she leaves for a stay of
several years in Europe,
Lucchese concerts are not ONLY
planned for San Antonio, Dallas. Fort
Worth and Houston, but in numerous
other cities over the state.
at is tour of sentiment that tbe
American nightingale is making.n Mr..
Branch continued in explanation.
The tour she is making through the
northern states appearing only in the
Dig centers is the one in which the
momentary consideration enters. but
her tour Of Texas is one of a great
and glorious sentiment. 1t is the fare
well gesture of girl raised in this
state to whom the Gods have been
generous and kind. and who wants to
express her love for her own peonle in
the best way she knows how-throug
the medium of the most beautiful CO.

known this last half century"
Arrangements for the San Antonio
concert have not been completed, but
it will be held early in March and
will be a civic as well as a musical
event. according to the plans of Mr..
Branch.
II feel that San Antonio will give
its most distinguished daughter an
ovation that will linger long in her
heart. and will be warm memory
to look back on even in the years of

TELLS OF BALBOA ORGAN

A most interesting account has Just
come from Mrs. Frederick Abbott,
pianist, who has spent the summer in
San Diego, Cal, of the enormous
Balboa organ which was gift to that
city from John d. Spreckles, and
Adolph b. Spreckles.
The organ is the only one of its
kind in the world. 1t is built out-of-
doors and is open TO the public 365
days in the year. 1t is housed in its
own building with an immense roof,
but wide open sides, and nothing else
is allowed in the building except the
study rooms back of the organ, of DIR.
Stewart, the official organist. The or
gan and the entire building are
beautiful from every point of view,
Mrs. Abbott says. DIR. Stewart told
her that the Spreckles interest in the
organ did not die with its gift to the
city, and its dedication to the people
of all the world, but that all expenses
in connection with the upkeep of the
instrument are paid also. Mr..
Spreckles pays DIR. Stewards salary of
$4,000 year, and also pays a man
TO live there and watch the instrument
and keep it in tune, year in and year
out.
The Balboa organ has four manuals.
and Mrs. Abbot says that, to her, the
most interesting thing about it is that
the keyboard and seat can be moved
freely in any position, as they are
both on castors and move very easily.
At the memorial service given for
President Harding, the organist sat
sideways to the audience and the pipes.
The volume of tone from the organ
when it is used in full, is as great
! as that of the Marine band.

MAUDE POWELL'S VIOLIN

Admirable is the disposition made
by the notable violin long used by
Maude Powell and silent since her
death three years ago. 1t was in keep
ing with her gracious, generous spirit
that she should desire that her violin
should become the property of some
gifted young violinist who needed n
fine instrument and who was in such
full sympathy with this one as to be
able to evoke its spirit.
After a long quest. Miss Powelrs
husband, Mr.. Turner. has awarded her
violin TO Nine. Renee Chemet, of Paris.
who made a brief concert tour in this
country last season, and while here.
demonstrated that the long silent
Guadagnini could still sing its wonder
full song. She will PLAY it in public
for the first time when she returns to
United States in October. For the
first time" she says, Il win be hap
py in my work. To play with my other
violin was like a singer who must
make career in spite of bad throat.
Now i have the voice of a Caruso. ~

Major L. n. Watson, last spring, and
Miss Jordan's, who have grown in
