MISS ELSIE HAMILTON,
Who is a native of South Australia, is
the daughter of the late Mr. William
Hamilton. At an early age she showed
great musical ability, and even as a
child proved herself a pianist of no
small ability. She is at present
living in Paris, where she is pursuing her
musical studies with great earnestness,
devoting herself to the composition of
music. This she is doing under the fa-
mous Frenchman Gedalge, who is noted
as one of the most exigeant masters in
Europe. Perhaps when she has finished
her studies she will return to her own
country, and become its interpreter in
music. So far the field of musical com-
position has not produced any notable
women composers in Adelaide. We look
to Miss Elsie Hamilton to bring us some
laurels.
