THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
In London, Miss Patterson lived for some
years, singing to the expressed satisfaction
of the public and critics. Last year, she
returned for a brief visit to America and
has been prevailed upon to remain over for
special appearances in concerts and ora-
torio during the present season.
With a good method and charming pres-
ence, Miss Alice Merritt, of Brooklyn, is
MISS MERRITT.
ready to appear in concerts, oratorio, musi-
cales and festivals. Miss Merritt is very
young, but has acquired so much polish in
her work that one would think in hearing
her she had had public experience for
years. Miss Merritt has filled a choir po-
sition in Brooklyn for several years. She
has received no instruction save in Amer-
ica.

JULIE RIVE-KINO.
A FTER a long summer rest which ex-
*"*• tended late into fall, Julia Rive-King,
one of America's most noted pianists, re-
turned to New York last month. Rive-
King has been practicing with enormous
vigor and is in better form than ever. She
is to give a number of piano recitals which
will be announced shortly, and there are a
very few fortunate musicians who have in-
duced her to accept them as pupils. It will
be remembered that she herself was a
favorite pupil of Rubinstein, which her
tremendous technic attests.
