' lM U 5 I C .1 By M. F. Cassudy. Omaha Is to have a quiet week musically in which to think over the achievements of the Omaha Symphony orchestra. No event of major im portance is announced for the week, but a day of running from recital to concert to opera is promised for the first day of next week. No less than three performances of interest are promised for next Sunday. In chronological order, these are the organ recitnl of Louise Shadduck Zabriskie at 4 p. m.; the concert of Annie Nygren at 8 p. m.. and ^he San Carlo production of "Butterfly” at 8:15 p. m. Any opera performance is important in the mlddlewest, but it Is doubly important when it is the only one of the season. Omaha is always glad to welcome hack the San Carlo Opera company, but the welcome is somewhat tinged with sadness when the company Jinds that It can only give one per formance In the city, and that on _ a Sunday evening. 1 Only the fact that Tamaki Miura ' is to sing in "Madame Butterfly” makes amends for the fact that the' company is to make a flying leap into the city and out again. Tamaki Miura has virtually recreated the leading role of Puccini’s opera and has given it a semblance of reality which strikes an unusual note in opera, where one expects to find ro mo nee, not actuality. Omaha’s oi>era season, unless un looked-for developments occur, will be limited to less than three hours, from 8:15 to 11 p. m., next Sunday at the t Brandels theater. Admirers of the stringed choir of the orchestras will find an unusual offering at the Orpheum theater this week. The Russian Symphony or chestra, which forms the basis of the Imperial Russian players, is com posed entirely of stringed instru ments. The characteristic voice of the strings Is particularly effective in such thoroughly exotic composi tions as "Caucasian Sketches” and the orchestral arrangement of the “Song of the Volga Boatmen," Cha liapin’s war horse. Philip Pelz, conductor of the or chestra, was for many years the lender of the palace orchestra at Moscow. He made his reputation international when he came to Amer ica to conduct a massed hand of 400 pieces at the Panama-Pacific exposi tion. His rresent orchestra Is com posed of 24 thoroughly trained art A ists. -* Two compositions by Omaha musi cians will be heard on the program at the R'alto theater this week. The exit march will he “Troca dero,” a characteristically Spanish piece from the pen of Jules Thiele one of the violinists of the Rialto orchestra. The Seventeenth Infantry band from Fort Crook, which is the stage attraction for the week, will play the "Seventeenth Infantry March,” which was comnosed by Warrant Officer’ Herman Webel, conductor of the or ^ chestra. The feature selection will be Mat thew W. Ldke’s "1620 Overture.” in eight movements, dealing with ths hardships experienced by the Pilgrims. Only the generosity of TYoulse Shadduck Zabriskie prevent* her re citals from assuming something of the nature of a municipal fete, to be ushered in with a mU of drums and a fanfare of trumpets. The recital wb'ch she is to play ■ t the First Presbyterian church at 4 p. m. next Sunday will he the 24th which she has presented at the church. Though she ha* not yet announced her program, It may be L confidently expected that It will he ■ worthy of her high ability. In that case It will be an event to look fob ward to. Four assisting artists will take part In the program. A. L. Hohbs. baritone will be the one singer. Mrs Eve'vn Reese, Miss Virginia Mulhol iand and Miss Henrietta Rees will Join Mrs. Zabriskie in an ensemble number for harp, violin, viola and organ. Next Sunday’s third event, the re cital of Annie Nygren. soprano, will have a particular appeal for those who seek the bvways of music rath er than the main traveled highway*. Her program will eonsist princlpa’ly of Swedish folk songs. Miss Nygren. whose home Is In Stockholm, Sweden, comes to 'Amer ica after a successful tour of Fin land, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, f'rttlcs who have heard her at her first appearances in America have been most commendatory in their reviews. She will appear at the Swedish auditorium at 8 p. m. next Sunday, under the auspices of the Viking Athletic club. The Omaha Sherwood Music Teachers’ association will hold Its regular monthly meefne- „t the V W. C. A, at 8 p. m. Wednesday eve ning. The program will he under the direction of Frances Baetens and Amelia Waage. | -« “ Edith May M'ller will present the pupils of her junior and Intermediate cteoses In a piano recital at 3 p. m., Friday.

Nellie Fnrtezzo. Bonnie Kelley. Francl* Kovnrtc and Dorothy Conroy. Nellie Panebianeo will assist in the program. -- The engagement of Paul AUhousn as assisting artist at the concert of the Association Male chorus at the Brandels theater December 4 Is an Important addition to the list of sing ers who will appear In Omaha thla season. Mr. Althouae Is a tenor of immense breadth of sympathy, with a. warm and powerful voice. He has long been an Important member of the Metropolitan opera casts, but Is prob f ably better known In the west for his delightful program of lyrics. He will offer song* of both types at bl* appearance with ths Omaha chorus. The chorus, however, has a repu tatlon which requires but little sup port from assisting artists. For the last five years the 45 singers of this group have occupied a leading posi tion in musical affairs in the city. This has been accomplished by the presentation of excellent programs, artistically performed. The program announced for the coming concert marks a distinct advance over those which have been presented In the past. Choral singing has possibilities to be found in no other type of music. This musical form had its birth in America, a distinction which can be claimed for no other type of music. It Is a form which is now given too little attention, but it will have its day. and the Omaha chorus is doing an Important bit towards hastening its development. The program announced by Frank Van Gundy, conductor, for the first of the season’s two concerts is as follows: Prologue—"Salutation" .Oalnaa A**oo!aMon Male Chorus. “Under the Greenwood Tree*’.Dunn Arthur Smith, trumpet. Ioidore Benoit, horn. “Come Thou. O Come”.Bach “Morning Hymn" .Haenschel Chorus. "Somml Dei" .Handel “II Mandollno" ..Burjrmain j "Un Duox Lien".Delbruck “Chevauchee Cosaque" .Fourdraln Paul Althouae. ! “Dawn" .,.Curran ; “Sunrise" .Forsyth Mr. Althouae and Chorus.

Stickles Mr. Althouse. “Reaping" .Clarke Ruth Esther Rockwood will be the ao eompanist at the concert. — ~ .. . ■■ \ May Robson Appears at Brandeig in Play She Wrote Herself v / May Robson, whose name Is suf ficient to bring joy and sunshine to every one who has ever seen her. has won another victory.
