THE HUMAN FIGURE
By JOHN H. VANDERPOEL
IT IS the clearest exposition of figure drawing ever attempted.
The construction of every part of the human form is mi-
nutely described, and illustrated by 330 sketches and 54 full-
page drawings.
“The Human Figure” is indispensable to the commercial
artist, the student, or any one desiring a better knowledge of
pictures than his untrained eye can afford. It is a thorough
analysis of the human figure, feature by feature and as a whole.
Its illustrations, all of them masterly drawings of the greatest
value to the student, none of which has ever been published,
show parts of the body in various positions and actions. Alto¬
gether it is the most complete illustrated work on the subject now extant.
John H. Vanderpoel has been for nearly thirty years one of the most distinguished
teachers of drawing in America. His knowledge of the nude and the clear, systematic
manner in which he gives it expression are unsurpassed in modern art instruction.
Mechanically the book is a beautiful one, finely printed on heavy paper, solidly
bound in an artistic manner, and designed to be as convenient for reference as possible.

X TEW PHONOGRAPH RECORDS
’ The July crop of new achieve-
ments in the line of Victor records includes
another new voice, that of Miss Janet
Spencer, whose singing has delighted con-
cert and oratorio audiences for several
years past. The reception accorded her
since her first New York appearance in
1909 makes an annual concert in this city a
practical certainty. Two records by Miss
Spencer are issued simultaneously, one of
them William A. Fisher’s charming render-
ing of Herbert Randall’s poem, “ Go to
Sleep, ’ ’ the other a lively Spanish gipsy song
and dance with castanet accompaniment, a
so-called bolero by Arditi.
A duet by Rossini, TheMariners, sung
by Messrs. McCormack and Sammarco, is
another noteworthy addition to the list of
vocal records. Mr. McCormack is further
represented by a song from Mme. Liza
Lehmann’s “Persian Garden” cycle, which
as most music lovers already know, is a
musical setting of portions of Fitzgerald’s
translation of the “Rubaiyat.” The par-
ticular song thus given to the public, Ah,
Moon of My Delight, is easily one of the
best in the cycle.
Two records are contributed by Albert
Reiss, of the Metropolitan Opera Com-
pany. One of these is the Hexenritt, or
Witch's Ride, from “Haensel und Gretel,”
the work which has been called the Peter
Pan of grand opera, the audiences who wit-
ness it being invariably delighted with the
childish joyousness and fairy charm of
Humperdinck’s work. The other Reiss
song is a selection from Millocker’s “Gas-
parone.”
Mme. Tetrazzini adds distinction to this
month’s “Red Seal” list with her render-
ing of the Swiss Echo Song, a famous old
coloratura air which has been the delight of
many prima donnas and the despair of
others. The composer, Carl Anton Flo-
rian Eckert (1820-1879), was a famous
German conductor and violinist, whose
operas, “Fischermadchen” (written at the
age of ten!) and “Wilhelm,” and an ora-
torio, “Ruth,” attracted some attention in
their day. Mme. Tetrazzini is very much
at home in such a number as this, and sings
the difficult variations with dazzling bril-
liancy and consummate ease. Particu-
larly noticeable are the echo effects given
by the diva. Altogether, one of the most
delightful of the records by this famous
singer.
Herbert Witherspoon’s numbers for July
are most interesting, comprising three
songs by American composers. The first
is an effective song from one of the operas
of Pietro Floridia. Mr. Floridia, although
a Sicilian by birth, has made his home here
for many years, and now that he is a
citizen of this country he may truthfully
be called an American composer. The
brilliant production of Mr. Floridia’s new
opera, “Paoletta,” in Cincinnati last
August, was one of the events of the season.
The second record contains two songs by
Sidney Homer, whose charming Banjo
Song was much admired during May and
June. Requiem is one of six songs consti-
tuting the composer’s Opus 15, the text be-
ing taken from Robert Louis Stevenson’s
“ Underwoods.” Dearest is a setting (Opus
25) of a part of the poem, “Idawthorn
and Lavender,” by William Ernest Hen-
ley, and the song is dedicated to Mme.
Homer.
