THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
MISS M. S. PINKHAM, 1MPRESARIA.
of the most interesting personal-
ities who will appear in musical cir-
cles this approaching year, is that of Miss
M. S. Pinkham, who will make her debut
as an impresaria. She has a well defined
policy, born of experience, and acumen
which already insures her success. Miss
Pinkham is a skilled musician, a caustic
critic, and a progressive business woman,
which characteristics will enable her to se-
M '
ss
cure thoroughly competent artists, and to
advance their interests successfully.
It has been learned that, among others,
Miss Pinkham will this season control:
Ellison Van Hoose, the well-known tenor;
Sieveking; Elsa Ruegger; Mr. and Mrs.
Sobrino, pianist and dramatic soprano;
Ernest Hutcheson, the Australian pianist;
and the Marquis de Souza, baritone, who
has created so much favorable comment in
Europe.
CLAYTON JOHNS.
Clayton Johns, the composer of some
charming and well-known music, has writ-
ten some songs which are just about to
make their appearance. "The Miller's
Quest," "Oh, Like a Queen," and "Apaise-
ment" are the titles.
Johns has just returned to Boston for
the season after a summer rest which was
broken by a tour with John Sturgis Cod-
man, baritone. The programs consisted
largely of Johns' compositions.
HENRY WOLFSOHN'S CONCERTS.
T H E well-known manager has arranged
* with his different artists to give a
series of concerts and recitals in this city
during the coming season. The far. t of
the series will be a song and violin recital
by Mme. Schumann-Heink, the distin-
guished contralto of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, and Miss Leonora Jackson, the
violinist, at Carnegie Hall on the afternoon
of October nth. Following this, on the
evening of October 16th, will be an orches-
tral concert, which will reintroduce Mme.
Lillian Blauvelt in New York. This will
be her first appearance here after her late
European triumphs. On this occasion Mr.
Frank Van der Stucken, director of the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, will wield
the baton, making his re-entree in the or-
chestral field after an absence of two years.
There will also be a series of popular Sun-
day evening concerts at the Metropolitan
Opera House, in which the best known of
the European and American artists avail-
able during late in October and early in
November will appear. During the middle
of November Mr. Wolfsohn will introduce
to the musical public of this country and
the country at large, Fritz Kreisler, the
renowned Austrian violin virtuoso, at which
a selected orchestra participate. The date
of Kreisler's appearance is not definitely
settled. On the afternoons of November
14th and 17th, Ernst von Dohnanyi will
give the first two piano recitals of the sea-
son in Mendelssohn Hall On the evening
of November 15th Evan Williams, the ever-
popular tenor, and Gwilym Miles, the bari-
tone, will give a recital of Welsh songs in
Mendelssohn Hall, when they will have the
assistance of Miss Avice Boxall, the Welsh
harpist. On Nov. 2 2d, Mr. Chas. W.
Clark, the well-known Chicago basso, will
give a song recital in Mendelssohn Hall.
This appearance will be his first in this
city in three years. Late in December,
Mr. and Mrs. Georg Henschel will be
heard in two recitals in Mendelssohn Hall.
These inimitable artists will tour the coun-
try as far as the Pacific Coast, remaining
here until April. Following Mr. and Mrs.
Henschel, will come the American debut
of Mr. Kennerly Rumford, the English
baritone, with a song recital in Mendels-
sohn Hall, on the afternoon of Jan. 2 2d.
During the middle of January, Miss Maud
Powell will make her reappearance in this
city in an orchestral concert, after an ab-
sence of three years, which time she has
spent in Europe, where she has been play-
ing with many of the large orchestral con-
certs. Around this time also comes the
American debut of Hugo Becker, who is
recognized in Europe as one of the few
great players of the 'cello now before the
public. Late in January, Miss Clara Butt,
the English contralto, will inaugurate her
second American tour with an orchestral
concert in Carnegie Hall; Miss Butt will
also be heard in some recitals. Early in
the spring, there will be a series of combi-
nation concerts given by subscription in
Mendelssohn Hall, in which Kreisler, Beck-
er and Dohnanyi will be the leading at-
tractions. The above list of dates com-
prises the principal recitals that will be
given in this city during the season, which
promises to be the liveliest musical season
New York has experienced in many years.
A CLEVER YOUNG PIANIST.
T T affords The Review much pleasure to
*• pay tribute to Miss Theodora Stur-
kon, the clever young pianist who made
her New York debut at one of the recent
Kaltenborn concerts. On this occasion
she displayed those temperamental and
technical qualities which promise a great
artistic future for this charming American.
Miss Sturkon comes from the West, but
has studied with eminent European mas-
ters who have sent her forth splendidly

equipped and confident, as are those who
have heard her, that she is destined to win
no ordinary rank among the great army of
American pianists.

T H E magnificent prospectus of the mu-
* sical department of the Brooklyn In-

Redfield and the secretary is John Hyatt
Brewer, who has held this position for
