' [ M-U S I. Far and away the most important *• musical event thus far announced for the first half of the season In Omaha is the Omaha symphony orchestra concert to ha given at the Auditor ium Thursday evening. The pretentious program announc ed for the concert would he of ex ceptlonal Interest under any circum stances. but it derives a double Inter est through Its presentation hy Oma ha musicians under the leadership of such an eminent kuest conductor as Engelbert Roentgen, assistant con ductor of the Minneapolis sy/nphony orchestra. Mr. Roentgen is to arrive in Oma ha this Sunday to drill the orchestra In a final Intensive series of rehears als each morning this week. lie will find that orchestra excel lently grounded In the musical frame work of the program, for the 65 musicians have been rehearsing for weeks under the direction of Ernest Nordln, resident conductor, and Rudolph Soldi, associate director. The final series of rehearsals this week will he necessary only to acquaint ^ the musicians with Mr. Roentgen’3 * readings of the scores. Interest will be added to the con cert hy the appearance of Florence Van Hovcn, well known dramatic soprano. The complete program of the con cert, which has already been com mented upon In this page, follows: Ov*rtur* to "KRmnnt." On. 84.He*thoven Ai'ln.

Dabusay Ov*Oure to "Tannhauser” .Wagner Miss Van Hoven will have an op portunity to exhibit both her drama tic ability and her voice In the throb bing aria, “Ritorna Vlncitor," from Verdi’s “Aida." The grief-burdened song of Alda, the Egyptian slave, mourning for Rhadames, her soldier lover. Is one of the “show pieces" of opera literature. "Valse Caressante.” on# of the songs In her second group, will he of especial Interest because it was com posed by Engelbert Roentgen, the guest conductor of the evening. The orchestra program Is one which will hare no dull spots. The composers have been neatly chosen | to exhibit a variety of moods, and no number will be reminiscent of others preceedlng it on the program. The opening number, the overture to "Egmont," Is the first and most Important of the nine pieces of in oldental music composed by Beeth oven for OJnethr’s great tragedy. It was Ironical that this incidental music was so excellent that It has lived long after the play lias been re tired to musty library shelves. The gloomy, foreboding music of this overture is neatly balanced hy the sweetness of Dvorak’s symphony, which follows it. "From the New * World," has been a. favorite with concert lovers ever since Its composi tion, which was not so long ago. The string choir will he heard alone in Mozart's happy serenade. The lyric quality will distinguish this number on the program. Debussy’s whimsical 'The After noon of a Faun." a dainty sort of work, will he followed by the smash ing prelude to Tannhsuser. This con trast. as great as can be imagined, will he a fine exhibition of the range of Mr. Roentgen's sympathy. The appearance of Edward Rechlin In a Bach program at Kountze Me morial Lutheran church at R p. m. Friday evening will he second in Im portance only to the symphony con cert among the musical events of the week. Mr. Rechlin. who Is organist at Immanuel Lutheran church. New York, has centered all his musical studies on the works of Johann Se bastlan Bach, unquestionably the most profound master of organ mu sic who ever lived. He is regarded as an authorrity on the interpreta tion of Bach'a compositions, and lita execution does full justice to his appreciation. The program is not composed ex clusively of Bach music, but will he In part a historical study, present ing compositions of Seeger and Wal ther, contemporaries and intimates of Bach: Buxtehude, one of Bach's instructors, and Wilhelm Bach, the master's son. i Mr. Rechlin will offer an ImprovI j nation in his program. No admis sion is to be charged. The program: Prcludn in D major .*»rg*r (e> Largo (concerto In I» mi nor . Wllh. Bach (b> "Japua. Thou My Treas ure” . \\ either (c) Fusrua C major .

He would have made a good diplo mat, too, an there Is a winning way about the great tenor that would, one Imagines, disarm hostility and hold friendship, which should be the two great alms of diplomacy. Clccolinl himself is authority for the story that his youthful amhltlon* and those of his family were diverted from the career of a statesman to the opera, when the choirmaster of the Sistine chapel in Rome “discov ered'' him. At that time he was a mere, boy with a wonderful soprano voice. Privileged one day to visit the library of the Vatican, where his uncle was librarian, the choirmaster heard him sing and from that time Ciccolini was dedicated to the opera. The tenor comes from an ancient and aristocratic Roman family, and did not, like many singers, have any early struggles with poverty. ‘The Arab, New Metro Film, Coming to Sun Ramon N'ovaiio and Alice Terry have the featured roles in "The Arab," itex Ingram's first Metro pro duction since "Scarsmourhe," which comes to the Sun next Saturday for a week's run.

Gloria Swanson Leads ‘Wages of Virtue’ Cast onci ftwunaon Gloria Swanson's latest picture, ''Wages of Virtue," will be the screen offering at the Strand next week. The plot has to do with the most efficient military organization per : haps, in Europe—the French foreign lrgion. Versatility seems to be Gloria’s middle name, as she can put over both pathos, and comedy in a split second s time—and does so in tills production. She has the role of Carmellta, a young Italian girl. Sidney Olcott, director. In making "Salome of the Tenements,” featuring ietta Goudal? has drafted .lose Rou hen, the well-known actor recently seen In ‘.'Bewitched," to appear in the film. * f— -- “ ' IT or Id Photoplay Has Bift Romance of Life v_■___J Burton King's photoplay, "The Kmpty Cradle." has been secured by the management of the World* Mr presentation this week.

Mary Alden, who will be remember ed for her successful portrayal In "The Old Nest." essays a mother driven l« desperation by poverty and want.
