School Children Are

Henri Verbruggen proved himself
a rival to the Pied Piper at the mat

he also quite captured their hearts
by leading them in encores on a rio
tous excursion Into the realms of the
primitive which was utterly un
expected.
Not every orchestral conductor
would take kindly to having his au
dience burst into laughter in the
middle of a selection: but when the
jazzy blare of horns in the middle of
an infectious native dance of New
Zealand proved too much for the hu
mor of the children, Verbruggen took
the outburst for the compliment It.
was and played the selection over
three times, to the unlimited delight
of his audience.
Contact Made Early.
The orchestra made contact with
Its youthful audience at the first num
ber, playing its varied program with
a certain elfin abandon, a gay and
delicate exaggeration, which are the.
essential spirit of the fairy tale. The
young audience sat breathless and en
tranced. But youth's natural prefer
ence for plenty of sound and motion
was released in the encores which set
small hands to beating the infectious
rhythm.
“What number shall we play over
again?” the director asked of his
small patrons at the close of the
program.

distinguishable words were, “All of
them!” But Verbruggen, seeming to
conclude that the hubbub expressed
a wish for the noisiest number he
had given, signalled his men to re
peat the New Zealand dance, that
they had already given twice.
Praise for Audience.
“Children make a wonderful au
dience,” said the conductor after the
concert. “You have to bait them a
little, choose a varied program and
give them plenty that is lively. Then
you will get a delightful response.”
A number of the more venturesome
school boys approached the director,
as he leaned on his crutches after
the concert. They were asked, as
Orchestra Leader on
Crutches Hears Young
Omahan
Although unable to stand with
out crutches and suffering con
siderable pain, as the result of an
accident to his knee six weeks ago,
Henri Verbruggen, director of the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra,
was not too ill or too busy to give
an hour's hearing to a young Oma
han with musical ambitions yester
day.
J. Millard Rockwell, 28, who has
spent most of his life as an invalid,
and is now a piano tuner, may owe
his chance for a first-class musical
education to this intervention of
the Minneapolis leader. Although
ids illness prevented him from
finishing even the grade school.
Rockwell has written music from
the time he was 12. A good deni
of his work has been done with
the collaboration of his sister. Miss
Helen Rockwell, music teacher rft
Technical High school. When the
young man was told by his sister
that the celebrated conductor ha«P
consented to hear his work the
tears came into his eyes.
Mr. Verbruggen offered to write
to the head of Eastman conserva
tory, in Rochester, N\ Y.t explain
ing the circumstances of the case
and asking that room be made for
young Rockwell.
from one musician to another, how
it sounded from out there In front,
and which selection they liked the
moat. One lad, bolder than the oth
ers, asked for and received an auto
graphed photograph of the leader and
the orchestra to be framed for his
school gallery.
The program was as follows:
Mlgnon Overture . Thomas
Intermezzo, (Midsummer Night's
Dream) .. Mendelssohn
Danse Arab#, Nutcracker Suit**.. ..
Praaludlum .. Jaernefelt
Gohengrin. Prelude to Act III... Wagner

.Mrs. Mahle Swift.
Mrs. Malde Swift. Columbus. Neb.,
president 'of the Business Woman’s
ciub, saw no reason why a town
should not have pood music, even if
its population did fall short of 200,000.
So she and her fellow club members
went to work and scheduled it. with
the result that the club treasury
seems in a fair way to be enviably
full this-spring.
The Russian cathedral quartet and
Florence MacBeth, coloratura so
prano of the Chicago Civic opera, are
two of the numbers of the club's am
bitious musical series. The former
made a very successful appearance In
Columbus on January 28, while Miss
MacBeth is to appear on April 10. The
success of the cathedral quartet illus
trates how little reason there is be
hind the superstition that good music
must necessarily he barred from the
moderate sized town.
As for up-to-date dramatics, the
Business Woman’s club of Columbus
went to work and produced those for
themselves. One of their most suc
cessful numbers was "Wapping
Wharf, a Frightful Comedy of Pi
rates," coached by Miss Marguerite
Beckman of Omaha.
The club, which, although it has
met with only good luck so far, was
founded on December 13, 1922. has
grown steadily from a membership of
3.1 to its present roil of 110. Mrs.
Swift served as Its first president and
was unanimously re-elected for a sec
ond term. The rlttb holds semi month
ly dinners, at each of which talks are
given on various subjects- of social,
durational, local or national interest.

The Costume Suit Has a
Touch of Plaid.
By KI.EANOR GUNN.
One of the most important reasons
for believing that the suit is in line
for popular endorsement is that the
tailored suit in its version appears
to have "caught on" through its own
appeal. Something in the way of a
cursory canvass was made among h
gathering of young women who are
average and typical in their observ
ance of the mode and who have been
for the most part "dress wearers.”
The expression of favor for the new
boyish tailored two-piece suit was
unanimous, with everyone of girlish
type declaring her intention of “in
venting'’ in one for spring. From a
woman of more mature figure, the
statement was obtained that only her
realization of the style not being
adapted to her figure restrained her
from buying one. She, however, is
planning to have a tailored suit, in
clining more to the sports type.
It is not uncommon to hear young
women who have been firm in their
belief that they were not a “tailored
suit type’’ alter this opinon follow
ing the first displays of the new type.
Practi<»lly everyone acknowledges
a definite faith in the revival of suit
interest for spring and every collec
tion thus far viewed, focuses chief
attention upon the tailored produc
tions.
One couture house whose name is
rynonymous with style, selected a suit
of the boyish tailored order from a
great collection of novelties of both
tailored and softer conception and Is
concentrating on it.
Here the appeal of the new suit is
explained in part by the fitted lines
chiefly. Implying as it does, a closer
kinship to the custom tailored suit.
The particular feature of the suit
typifying the mode is its curved fit
and square shoulders, all conducive
to a tapered waistline effect.
One of the important qualities of
the new taiiormade is that it retains
a feminine identity. There is a far
cry from the “mannish” character to
the "boyish’’ in the tailored suit.
The chief difference is that, while
the mannish term conveys a feeling
of objectionable masculinity in a
woman's garb, fostered by broad
lines, heavy accessories and a gen
eral imitating of wearing men's
clothes, the boyish description desig
nates the type that is merely bor
rowed, preserving altogether the
feminine appeal.
Not a little of the charm of the new
tailleur Is gleaned from the acces
sories that are launched Importantly
with the mode.
