Mr. Kearney outlined some of the plans for
the Fall season conceived by Mary Carson, a
former grand opera star and well-known concert
artist, who is now president and general director
of the Houston Opera Association. The opera
season will be held from October 23 to 28 and
will, as usual, be one of the most important
musical activities of the South. Mr. Kearney
was most enthusiastic over the work performed
by Miss Carson and in describing her abilities
he said: "She is the guiding genius of all our
musical activities; she is responsible for the pro-
motion of opera in Houston and her splendid
work is responsible for Houston being the musi-
cal center of the South—another Boston."
By no means does the annual opera end the
musical functions in Houston, for it may here be
remarked that the Treble Cleff Club, of that city,
will give five concerts this year and has already
booked such concert artists as Paul Althouse,
Arthur Middleton, Carolina Lazzari and Cyrena
Van Gordon. In an interview Mr. Kearney par-
ticularly remarked on the work of C. M. Tre-
maine, of the National Bureau for the Advance-
ment of Music, as well as that of the Ampico Art
Society.
