 A Fine "News Violin
 The 5000 people who listened to MT. Vincent Marsicano play his beautiful selections on Local Artists Night at the auditorium, were hearing the strains from one of the very best ex- ,amples of the modern Italian violin. Famous in history and tradition for its makes of violins-the Amati, Guarneri, and Stradicari families of Cremona which new brings fabulous prices-Italy claims to be leading still in in the amn- ufacture of this great instrument.
 And MT. Mopsicano is jnustly proud of his violin, for it was a gift, under circumstances that should fill him with pride, He gave a Paganini recital in Rome, rendering three concertos and several caprices by that great master of the violin, and winning the sponta- neous applause of large audience. At, the close of the program the violin he is now using was presented to him by the renowned violinist, Mario Vitetta. It is the best modern Italian make.
 MT. Marsicano has had excellent. advantages in the study of his art. Be sides Italian instruction, he studied with Cesar Thomson, when that eminent instructor was in Rome. He has played in several fine orchestras in Italy, and in one at Johannesburg, South Africa, where he resided for sev- eral years. At a concert in Naples when he played the Bruch Concerto, which he had studied under Cesar Thomson, the critic on the Naples 'Mattino" proclaimed him master of his instrument and praised his splen- did interpretations.
 Conducting on this occasion was the famous Maestro, Vidal. MT. Morsi- cano has opened studio here in connec- ton with his brother, Anthony Nor sicano, pianist and graduate of the Royal Italian Conservatory. They have decided definitely to reside in Bir- mingham. They have many relatives in this city and Ensley who have been through them that these artists were induced to come here. They are acqui- sitions to the city's musical life. -
 Glass In Interpretation
 Mr. Carl F. Herring, virtuoso pian- ist and teacher, who recently opened a studio here, and whose playing on Artists night at the opening of the auditorium, won such great applause, has added to his teaching activities a class in interpretation. This is some thing of an innovation here, classes in musical appreciation having been or ganized before, but this work MT. Her ring will conduct along entirely differ cnt lines.
 Every member of the class is ex- pacted to play-a selection chosen by her tor him) self. Mir. Herring then teaches the interpretation of this par ticular number, while the rest of the class listen, and profit by listening. Though closely allied to class lesson
