MUSICAL BOOK SHELF
Books have always been and
will always be mankind’s most
faithful and dearest friends. 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:

Another large audience . was
present at last Sunday’s concert
given by Merrick’s Symphony
Orchestra in the Music Hall of
the Steel Pier. 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

semble, Harry Loventhal, Di
rector, at last Sunday evening’s
concert in the lobby of that
hotel.
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. Works by Wag
ner, Schumann, Rubinstein,
Tschaikowsky and Chaminade
were excellently rendered before
a very appreciative audience.

Light selections seem to be the
vogue at the Ventnor Pier’s Sun
day evening concerts, Frederick
Wagner, Conductor. 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. Speciale, acted as ac
companist.

That—When Liszt was asked
~ once what he would have
; been were he not a musi- /.
cian, he replied “the great
est diplomat in Europe.”
That—Saint-Saens dedicated his
book of mefnoirs to his
dog. She hated music and ' ;jt
always howled when the” j
piano was played in her
hearing.
That—Wagner was so irritable
and nervous in his earlier
years that actors, singers . >
and musicians resented his
x remarks and often con
spired to ruin his works,
as in the"case of the first
performance of ^Tann
hauser” in Paris.
