The education one receives in schools, colleges, universities, etc., re mains incomplete if the habit of reading good books is neglected. The vast knowledge acquired through this wonderful “easy-at hand” medium is limitless and therefore inestimable. Good books will shape your thoughts to a higher level of in tellectuality' Ruskin once said: 'T would urge upon every young man to obtain, as soon as he can, by the severest economy, a re stricted, serviceable, and steadily — however slowly — increasing series of books for use through life; making his little library, of all the furniture in his room, the most studied and decorative piece.” Following the splendid plan of Dr. Eliot’s five-foot shelf of books, the writer, who has at heart the development of music appreciation of the many music students in our community, has selected a most varied and repre sentative list of musical books which ought to form a part of the library of *the student and teacher, of the professional and amateur, The list comprises works which are indispensable and its educative value cannot be overlooked if you want to enrich your knowledge of musical liter ature. Following is the list: Music and Musicians, by Lav ignac; Mezzotints in Modern Mu sic, by Huneker; Musical His tory, by Pratt; Orchestra and Orchestral Instruments, by Hen derson; Dictionary of^Music and Musicians, by Grove; History of A.

The program opened with Weber’s “grei schuts” overture which received an authoritative and excellent reading by Conductor Merrick and his men. Another number which stirred the audience to great enthusiasm was the “An dante” from Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony.” The touching ap peal of this beautiful melody in which Beethoven infused his best expressive mood of tenderness and suavity was finely interpret ed by the popular Conductor. Vera Curtis, soprano, pleased with her selections. Judson House, tenor, sang “O Paradiso” from Meyerbeer’s “Africana,” displaying a fine voice, and Fe lindo Masino, pianist, played a solo with orchestra accompani ment. Although his technique is fairly brilliant, his interpreta tions are still immature and lack-, ing musical understanding. _ * * '* “Oberon” overture by Weber, “Slavonic Dance” No. 10 by Dvorak, “Haensel and Gretel” by Humperdinck, and Tschaikow sky’s “Caprice Italien” were the principal numbers contained in the program rendered by the Hotel Ambassador Artiste En iniii.miiimiiimimmummimiiimiumimmtiiiiiimiimimiimmmit YOUR DINNER will be enjoyed all the more if you select The Quaker Inn [ New Jersey Ave. & Boardwalk The Franklin Cafeteria 157 S.

A very large and enthusiastic audience found much delight in the artistic presentation of the vario is numbers performed. Marcel Hansotte, pianist, was the'* soloist, playing Chopin’s “Scherzo in B flat minor” with technical brilliancy and fine in terpretative powers. He was heartily applauded,. The Hotel Traymore Ensemble, Benar Barzelay, Director, gave a varied program in the lobby of th at hotel at last Sunday eve ning’s concert.

Last Sun day was no exception. The pro gram contained small works of Boildieu, Rigo, Donizetti, Strauss, Herbert, and Paderewski. Hilda Reiter, the coloratura, soprano, who has achieved pronounced success this season, appeared again as soloist. Her flexible, clear and sweet voice coupled with a remarkable ease of de r livery was heard to fine advan tage in the Waltz-song from “Romeo and Juliet” Jiy Gounod. The coloratura passages which this aria contains were brilliant ly rendered by Miss Reiter. The" large audience showed its ap proval by enthusiastic applause. Mme. Elena Avedano, the pop ular prima donna soprano, scored a distinct success at her appearance at the banquet of the Journalists’ Club held at the Ritz-Carlton last Saturday eve ning. She sang “Mi chiamano Mimi” from Puccini’s “La Bo heme” with a wealth of tone and fine pathos. “Pale Moon,” by Frederick K. Logan, a stirring composition based on Indian motives, which she interpreted with consummate art and skill, took the audience by. storm. Vin cent E.
