Eluffsa A m . aj mm Sff4 SIS SCI ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS One bright spot In the history ot last week theatrically was the visit ot Miss Alice Fischer In "Mrs. Jack." This new star with a new play did not receive anything like the patronage she deserved la Omaha, but thoae who did go to the Hoyd to hear hrr will carry for many daya a pleasant recollection of a big. breezy woman, whose acute perception of real humor enables her to make the very best of the delight fully funny situations the author of her play has provided for her; and this woman, surrounded by a company of capable actors, who took a much Interest in the play as she, apparently, for all seemed to enter Into the performance with a test. And tho play itself Is one of the brightest satirical comedies seen In Omaha for many seasons. Miss Fischer has scored a de cided success In her venture aa a star, and her next visit to Omaha, It there should ever be a next, will nnd ror ner a mil on more cordial welcome than did her first venture. Otherwise the week was without event. The usual thriller had a big house Sunday night at the Boyd, and on New Year's day Adelaide Thurston delighted two very large audiences with her "Cozy Cor ners." To wind up the week we had the good old "Burgomaster," which has never failed to get an enthusiastic greeting here. In fact, the murlcsl comedy has yet to be written that cannot draw a big house In Omaha. At the Crelghton-Orpheura an average vaudeville bill was well patron ized all week. Christmas week was signalized by the production of a number of new playa, among them tho latest Clyde Fitch affair, "The Girt with the Green Ryes," which had its premier in New York. Concerning this piece the critics are at variance, as usual. Mr. Hunneker of the Sun, who is quite out spoken in his Sunday column, says of it: The Girl with the Green Eyes" Ik a title that has a pantomimic ring. "God only knows," as Cordelia said in Mr. liar rigan'a play, the new Clyde Fitch comedy Is no masterpiece, nor In the miming of an exalted character. Perhaps played In p;tre pantomime, like the delicious "J. I.nfant Prodlgue," it might be more effective than It was last Christmas evemng. Perhaps tried before a lees partial Jury than a well-dined Christmas audience the verdict may not be so favorable. Certainly, there was much laughter at Jokes so old as to masquerade aa new. It would seem that everything about the nudity of the Apollo Helvedere had been collected by Mr. Fitch and spilled promiscuously throughout the second act. The guide that lectured the Cook excursionists was of the Mark Twain order. As for the story, it simply lacks vertebra. On the other hand, the c.itlc of the Telegraph, who had, very likely, dined more satisfactorily than Mr. Hunneker, writes as follows: Here Is Fitch's dramatic summit, but he does not stand or fall by It alone. He ex pects something from every scene and every line. He has placed the Fltrhlc stamp upon each step, permeated the whole atmosphere with that deft, breesy and cynical personality which differentiates o' of his plays from those or oth' r men dr.al Ing with the same subject. His point of view Is Individual, his epigrams charac teristic. He seems to skim along thi surface, of affairs,' but, as the world wit' which he deals Is not noted ror depth, tt s manner has the merit of truth of reflect' jn rather than shallowness of Insight. One thins; Is true: If this latest marks the beginning; of the end of the reign of Clyde Fitch, the suffer g pt'bllc will sigh a sigh of relief and agree to forgive him It he will only subside. Anotbor of the uew Christmas plays Is the one In which Mr. James O'Neill will be seen in Omaha later in the season. It is a problem play based on a problem book, the' main facts of Hall Calne's "Manx man" being done Into a series of scenes and situations. It there Is anything franker in literature than the guilty love ot Kate arid Philip, or anything more despicable than their deception ot Peter, or anything mor.i pathetic than Peter's efforts to pro tect. Kate's good name after he has more than suspected the truth, the present writer vots not of it. All this is brought out freely and forcibly In the play. Mr. O'Neill takes the role of Peter Gilliam, and won a triumph in the first performance of the piece, which was at Norfolk, Va., on Christ mas evening. Other new plays brought out on Christ mas day were Kathryn Kidder's "An Eye for An Eye," for which Syracuse was "the dog," and which went very well, and Henry Miller's production of the Richard Harding Davis play, "The Taming of Helen," which was tried on the people of Rochester. It, too, is highly praised. ii Your old friend, Sclp Dundy, has finally concentrated the knowledge gained at the midways, beginning In Omsha and ending at Buffalo, in an amusement enterprise at Coney Island that is making even the New Yorkers, who think they are used to big things, hold their breath for amazement. With W, A. Thompson, who was Frank Dunnlvant's partner In the "Darkness and Dawn" show at she Transmisslsslppl, Mr. Dundy has secured couU-ol of a tract ot twenty-two acres in the "heart of Coney Island," and has erected Luna park. Here all the essential features of a complete exposition midway have been Installed, and a number of decided novelties added. A lagoon or canal runs through the center of the park, and around It are grouped the various amusement enterprises, thirty-four In number, all up-to-date and described in glowing terms in the prospectus. One of the features of the place Is a creche, where babies will be cared far free of charge while the mothers take in the sights. Ten cents admltj to the park, which Is to be opened on May 2, and once in a visitor will never want to go out, if the attractions come anywhere near being equal to the promise. Mr. Sothern opened on Tuesday evening in "Hanilct" at the Garden theater In New York and again emphasized what so many critics have agreed on. that "Hamlet" has never yet been successfully presented. ! When here Mr. Sothern admitted the diffi culties that lie in the way of a satisfactory performance of the play, the complexities of the nature of Hamlet being such thst no one man may reasonably hope to give them all adequate Interpretation. la dis cussing the performance Mr. William Win ter writes in the New York Tribune: To say that Hamlet cannot te precisely dt lined is to speak within the I m!t of trutri. A besutilul. exulted soul, shrined In a lliyslral Image of perfect grace, and In vt.ted with circumstances of lofty social stutlon and of romantic and awful char acter, de ldent In the attribute of will, overladen with distracting thought, and overwhelmed rot only by a terrible per sonal experience, out vy sn accumulation of the shocks and sufferings of earthly environment, Hamltt remain, and forever must remain, the inexplicable type of all that Is rftnnge and dark In the spiritual oettlny of man. As a mystery 6hakespeare treated him. and his mystery Is his greatest iharm. H's ravaged strrneih and bloom of early manhood and his picturesque posi tion combine with thU allurement, while the eloquent linuar of a stately play, togetntr with ireternatural accessories, complete the g'amour. It Is not w:n lerful that actors ktniuli aspire to play the prince of Denmark, but. as said before. In this plac. there are Insuperable obstacles In the way of most of them when they ap proach th subject. It Is. Indeed, readily posrtl le tor an experienced actor of re ctectubl talent to dress In the customary trapping of woe and to walk conven tionally through the imrt of Hamlet, sneak ing th words smoothly and giving- a mora or less plcturesoue embodiment of medi tative meUncholv. ni1 th' e'l usually la accomplished. The essential quality ot tne character its soul of misery Its grandeur of desolation. Its slgulucsiic as aa luiujjs vf fluiie man, ba&cd, vtr AND PLAYHOUSES whelmed and ruined In thi struggle to comprehend and dnmtna'e the awful mvs stery of his Infinite environment is scarcely ever even remotely suggested. The poet has created and displayed a type of human nature at Its highest and best, over whelmed with affliction, blasted with grief, tainted with mildness, and, alike by Innate tendency and external propulsion, msde a total failure; the stge ordinarily presents, as a correlative of this Image, a' hundeome young man. In blsck velvet clothes, well groomed anil looking as If Juwt liberated from a bandbox, with no more sense of the terrible f.-cts of life and death, moral re sponsibility and spiritual destlnv than a feather has of the breeze by which It is blown. Naturally, Mr. Sothern's "Hamlet" does not meet Mr. Winter's entire approbation; In fact, it finds little grace In the eyes of the veteran critic and analyst. That other critics equally in earnest, though, mayhap, not so eloquent as the dean of the guild, are well impressed by the pres entation Mr. Sothern offers, is made plain by the comments In the other papers. One of these writers, who himself is not un known to fame "on Broadway," Mr. Frank lyn Fyles, writes: Mr. Sothern has bettered his "Hamlet" In two ;-ears, but there Is no need to go Into many particulars of what Is less a reveiauon man a repetition, it Is ex tremely demonstrative, much of the time noisy, and all the time Inclined to emo tional excess. For those reasons the sol'lo qules are the lenst satisfactory portion!". Hut nenrlV nil th f:illlta nt alnntlnn hni'. been eradicated, the strong voice has be come modulatory, the Intelligence is thor oughly pervnnlve ami the dramatic feeling Is under effectual control. The merit now rises IllRhesl In the ptir-nuntera with th ghost, where the agitation comes of amaze-1 ment, horror and vengeful resolution, and fnlls lowest In the scenes with Ophelia, where the actor's purpose of evincing pas sionate love seems to exceed that of the author. At various pcints Mr. Sothern's desire to eluclilate and Illustrate Shakes peare has led him Into perversions of the text not In forcing the words Into ques tionable menninas so much as In accom panying action calculated to Increase the eloquence at the cost of simplicity. Hut jnr. Boinern s exped:ents for graphic v'vld- ness are so very numerous, so considerably original, and generally so efficacious, that his work deserves to be accepted in its en tirety by ShakesDearean scholars ns well as by people who are Impressed more read ily by its graphic activity. Coming Events. Tomorrow evening we are to witness the first local presentation of "Ben Hur," which Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger will present at the Boyd theater all this week, with mati nees Wednesday and Saturday. The cus tosnary Sunday performance Is omitted. The sale f'. seats for the entire eight perform sncee is said to be unusually large, but still this theater Is a large one and many de sirable seats remain for each performance. Tho curtain rises at 8 o'clock promptly, and no one will be seated during the action of the prelude. This Is to avoid marring the effeu. There is no overture, but a dark ened theater, and after a few bars of music, the curtain rises on the prelude, revealing the wise men following the Star of Beth lehem across the desert on camels. There is no spoken word, but the story is told with dramatic effect in pantomime, accom panied by appropriate music. Tableau fol lows tableau In quick succession throughout the piece, giving all the chief Incidents of tho story, with which everyone is familiar. The musical setting for this play was com posed by Edgar Stlllman Kelley, professor of music In Yale college. It is both or chestral and choral; for the latter, passages were selected from the prophecies of Isaiah concerning the coming of the Messiah, where Christ is referred to as the "light to lighten the darkness of the people." The music of the first act consists chiefly ot allusions to the themes in the prelude, which are associated with tho prophecy, the beauties of Jerusalem, and the promise of the delight of the world, according to the demands of the dialogue. The music In the second act bos a movement which suggests the rowing of the galley slaves, the swash of the sea and the moaning of the wind through the unseen cordage. In the third act the music Is more elaborate. In the composition for the scenes, Mr. Kelley has made a special study of the ancient muslo of Greece. He has also Introduced certain harmonic progressions which have for some centuries been prohibited by European theorists, but which the latest investigators of ancient Greek music have proved to their satisfaction were undoubtedly used by the Greeks. In the music in the first tableau in the fourth act. the dower of Sheik Ilde. rim, the old Arabian scale Is employed, and the wild lift of the Arab is suggested. The fifth act music opens with a march sug. gesiing the power snd dignity of Rome. Then follows music suggesting the speeding of the horses in the chariot race and the downfall of Messsla, and revenge, ending with a triumphant march for the visitor. In the sixth set the music is very impres sive. The theme from the prelude, "The City of Jerusalem," is heard as the curtain "iu iuB lueines sre introduced at appropriate times. The particular theme is "This is Jesus of Nazareth." In the scene In the Vale of Hunnom, there is a move ment suggesting the misery of the leoers broken when Amrah speaks of the comln of the Messiah, when is heard the grand meme or tne chorus, "Hozannaa," intro duced by the orchestra. The bill that opens a week with a mat nee at tne urpheum today Is diversified and besides presenting Borne favorites who are siready established. Includes several bidders from whom something new may be anticipated. Prominent among the offer ings Is the Barrows-Lancaster company, who msde a very good impression here last srason in "Tactics." They have new sxeicn this season entitled "A Jolly Jollier," by Edmund Day, who has been very successful In writing for vaudeville nui ana Biivisny have never appeared here, but It Is said they do one of the best "stunts" on bicycles In vaudeville. One especial feat they perform is the riding of a unlcycle down a flight of stairs by Mr. Hill, supporting Miss Sllvinnv nn hi. shoulders. Les Dumonds. known ih. Parisian street singers, besides their vocal talents, entertain with Instrumental m,lsin Mile. RIaltos spectacular dances are en hanced In beauty with elaborate color snd ugni enects. The Cole De . Losse duo come also with the brand of newness, while tne topical Jester. George W. Moore, will direct his efforts In a monologue to laugh provoking. The klnodrome plctnres will be entirely new. Commencing Thursday next, and continuing each week hereafter, the wldweek matinees will be given on Thursdays Instead of Wednesdays. "The Prince of Pllsen" makes its entree Into local theaVesl circles at the Boyd Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. The new piece Is the latest work of Plxley snd Luders, the authors of "King Dodo," snd Henry W. Savage, the foremost producer of comic operas In America tcday, is Its sponsor. It Is full of pretty music and many of tba songs are already being whistled In many parts of the I'nited States. A chorus of more than sixty stunning girls is required to make twenty changes of roitumes during each performance, so everything on the stage is lively all the time. Mr. Savage, as in "The Sultan of Sulu" and "King Dodo." has a competent cast. Amoug the princi pals are Dorothy Morton, Annie Uchter, Jeanetts Begesrd, Lillian Coleman, Zella Frank. Arthur Donaldson and John Rsn sonie. The environment of the new piece from a scenic and costume point of view Is sure to prove a sensation, for it has ben deslf Qd by the IttdlBf artists of lbs toua- try and money has been spent lsvlshly by Mr. Savsge in every conceivable way to make "The Prince of Pllsen" the finest comic opera on the road. After a stwrt rosd tour It will be taken to New York City for a long run. (osslp of Stastelanil.

It is going to be a little difficult for any one at this late day to de cide which one of the eight styles of spell ing he preferred. It Is really pleating for we of the woolly west to note that blHse New York has fol lowed cultured Boston In giving hilarious and unstinted endorsement to the antics and melody of "The Sultan of Sulu." Klram'a cocktail song touched a responsive chord In the Knickerbocker bosom. Just as the schoolma'em chorus caught on at the Hub. Dorothy Morton Is to resume her role of Mrs. Crocker, with "The prince of Pllsen" company at Omaha. Helen Bertram, who has been doing this role since MUs Morton left the company, will go to tho new Sav age company, to create a part In "Peggy from Paris. ' Miss Morton will sing tor the first time under the new engagement at Omaha. Beatrice Terry, the little niece of Ellen Terry, played a childish part In "Hara Crewe" In London recently with "remark uble self-possession and grace," and Justi fied the expectation that the traditions of this remarkable lamtly of actors will be maintained by a new generation. Her voice Is said to be clear anil resonant, and she In said to have brought tears to the eyes of many spectators by simple touches of pathes. One of the pathetic circumstances that came to light In New York City on Christ mas eve was that Pauline Markham, once the queen of stage beauties, Is now earn ing scant subsistence by scrubbing floors in a Harlem flat building. i hie. Is the woman whose arms were once described as 'the lost arms of Venus" and to whom Whlttler Indited an autoaraon letter de claring her to be "tt pearl among pebbles." She Is old now and has lost her beauty, but she retains some measure of pride, for he conceals her identity behind a fic titious name. The young man Irnown as "Kid" Broad. who on occasions punches the head of other young men for a share in the purse. recently attended a performance of Mans field's "Jullue Caesar" in New York. He bought an admission ticket, and after he had entered he could not get near enough the. rail to see the stage, so dense was the crowd. He hopped upon tiptoe three or four times; he dodged about from point to point, trying In vain to find a loophole where he could peep. He gave it up Anally, and went back to tne manager of tne house. "Hully gee!" said he; "hully gee, but dls show is a money getter! Who wrote it?" Possibly tne most beautiful theater in Mexico Is the Teatro Juarez, in Guana juato. It cost SiiOu.O'JO and will seat about 3.000 people, but has never been opentd. 1 he reason of this Is: The president or tne republic. General Porflrio Diaz, visited the city about five years ago, and during his reception they stoned him. He took nn oath that he would never return, and they. thinking he did not mean It, Invited him to visit them to formally open the new place ot amusement, and he has penlsten ly ueciinea to do so. consequently its ui.ors remain closed, fur to open .It under less august auspices the management cannot bring itself. According to Francis llson. one of his neighbors at New Kochelle has a perfectly lovely little boy, who never gets any one into trouble and who had rather go to Sun day school than stay at home. The other day the little boy wa playing In the road, end when he came In for his supper he de clared to his mother that he had at last seen a man who was much better than his fathrr. "How Is that'.' asked the mother. Well, you see. replied the little fellow, he was a-goln' by. an' his horse got balky. He whipped It an' he slapped It, but it wouldn t go no more. But tie oiun l get mad about it. He Just set back an' told that horse all about God an' the the bad place." The death of Nate BalsDury removed from the Held of theatricals and the circus busi ness a man who, in his quiet way, left his stamp on a good many novelties. Of late years Mr. rlalsbury s career was devoted entirely to the managerial end of the busi ness, and having a half, interest with Colonel W. F. Cody in the Buffalo Bill show for years, he lias accumulated a for tune. Though he turned to tne circus business and found It a lucrative one, hts earliest associations were with the stage. Before taking up Buffalo Bill's business balsbury's ' Troubadors were famous all over the country. Salsbury himself was a comedian ot no small ability, and his work was ulways a feature of tneee ulg snows. particularly In his "Greenroom Fun," wh.ch was a novel tiling, it was in tnis piece mat Nellie Mclienrv. Eddie Girard and a score of others who huve become widely Known since scored their first hits. "Green room Fun," by the way, was a novelty In that it was one of the first piece to give the audience a glimpse of behind the scenes life, only in this instance It was travestied for laughing purposes. It was '.n the midst of this success that Salsbury first became Interested in Buffalo Bill. At that tlmo Colonel Cody was appearing In theaters, and the bullet-pierced walla of the Peoples theater In the rear of that house today are mute reminders of his old show. Salsbury conceived the idea of ela borating the show, and making it the big thing that it has since developed. Of course, at the outset, things were not done on Buch a big scale, but from time to time the show was Increased, and with its prog ress Salsbury became estranged from the theatrical business almost entirely. An other of his ideas was the taking of the Buffalo BUI show to England. He had traveled a good deal in Europe, and took advantage of the queer notiona the Eng lishmen had concerning America, with tne result that many Ignorant of this country accepted the show ss a reflection of Amer ican life. The enormous success of the European trip demonstrated how thor oughly he hud sized the situation up In ad vance. Mr. Salsbury was of a quiet, re tiring disposition, especially for a circus man, but he had wonderful executive ability, and as much credit has always been given him for the great success of the Buffalo Bill show as to any other thing connected with that show, not excepting Colonel Cody himself. As a result of his remarkable foresight and good manage ment of a good thing after he got it Sals bury died a very wealthy man. COURTS TO SETTLE QUESTION Conflict Between limrch Factions li Philippines Mast Be JndUUlly Adjusted. MANILA, Jan. . Solicitor General Areneta in a written opinion sustains Gov ernor Taft's contention that he Is not in i position to Intervene regarding the posses slon of Roman Catholic property seized by Independent Catholics and that the courts must settle the subject. The adherents of the independent Catholic church have seized several churches and convents and In some Instances native par Ish priests have seceded, continuing in pos session of the churches, and have defied the new pastors appointed by the Roman Catho lic authorities. Archbishop Guidl, the papal delegate, has formally requested authority to dispossess the Independent Catholics and restore the Roman Catholics, and to use the constabu lary in so doing if necessary. But the governor has declined to do so holding that such sctlon is beyond the powers of the executive. He also advised an appeal to the courts and cabled the facts to Secretary Root, who sustained him. At torney General Wllfley concurs in Solicitor General Arencta's opinion, which Governor Taft will forward to Archbishop Guidl. It is expected that the latter will lnsti tuts proceedings to oust the independent Catholics, who claim that much of the church property belongs to the people. It is not thought that the Incident will affect the friar lands negotiations proceeding be tween Governor Taft and Archbishop Guidl, Crown Prince May llt I alien States BERLIN, Jan. S Emperor William is sending Crown Prince Frederick William to Russia aa an educational experience. He probably will be present at the magnificent New Year's function of the Russian court January 10. The crown prlnrs has visited England snd Austria, and It is not improb able that bs may visit ths Vailed Slates la MUSIC ANO MUSICIANS Again '.he new year has rolled around and finds us open-eyed, expectant, antlrl pstive. What will It bring us? As we look over the year that Is psst we have many things to be thankful for, and especially is this true In the studio line Omaha Is essentially a city of teachers. The studio business In Omaha Is always active. The tosns adjacent to Omaha send In their singers and players to the teachers here for studio work, and. be It said, these enthusiastic young people from out of town are a delight to the teacher because of the earnestness with which they apply them, selves to the work, .realizing, apparently, that their lessons cost so much more than those of the city pupil, who Is not obliged to take a train fifty or sixty miles, but can step on a street car at his or hrr own door and be at the studio in a few minutes. And here Is where the gain comes in, too, In a business way. How many students coming Into Omaha will receive their tui tion and go back home without visiting some of the stores? I venture to say not one. In many cases it Is a time for "shopping" between trains which is profitable indeed for the Omaha merchants, some of whom are probably blind at times to the real object of their study, and to the reality of music, the art. Pupils do not come into town to study so called "popular" music. And now comes the merchant at Belturbct and complains because his customers "shop" In Omaha, and It would seem rather hard that he should be neglected and that his own deserved patronage should ber withheld from him and extended to the man in Omaha who has no Interest in Belturbct nnd who cares nothing for that, smaller place. But alas! and alack! There Is another town called Balllnasloe, and it is smaller than Belturbct, and the Balllnasloe girls go to Belturbct to study snd "shop" at Belturbet, Just ss In the preceding instance, neglecting, as it were, their local teacher and tradesmen, and doubtless there are In the little hamlet of Bnllynahlnch or VII lageburg some young people who travel weekly Into the next town, this same Bal llnasloe, to learn, and to buy things. Strange, Isn't It, after all? But human nature is natural and human, and the ten dency Is always to seek the sdvantsges of the greater town, even if the population Is only five hundred or one thousand more. And so Vlllageburg goes to Balllnasloe, and Balllnasloe to Belturbet, and Belturbet to Omaha, and Omaha to Chicago, and Chicago to New York, and New York to Paris, and, of course, you know Paris Is "tho limit." Let not the country town have a "grouch" because the city gets some of Its retail busi ness, for It in turn is getting it from the next in size. And it is not necessary for Omaha to complain because her people may run over to Chicago for a pair of gloves. It is a case of "pass it on," and if tho friends in the adjacent towns think it unfair that their townspeople come to Omaha, let them bIbo remember that there are many pupils frqm Omaha in eastern schools. No city can control all the business ot an Its people. Let us in this new year be con tent to "pass it on" in every way. If I hear a good word about a musician this year, a musician who is honestly, ear- estlv working for the good of the cause, it shall be my endeavor to "pass it on." If I heir anvthlne- mean or unkind about a friend I will "pass it up." I hate those genial friends who (merely acquaintances as they are) come to you as your friend, with a lay like this: i am one of those people who believe in telling a man tn his face what he." etc.. etc. To such friends I say: "Pass It on," If you wish, if you must, but for goodness sake don't bother me with It. Don't tell me the mean things people say about me. If they are untrue, now can tney affect one, and If they are true, one knows them siready. I would banish to a land of forgetfulness and put to poppy-sleep all those kind per sons who always "stood up for you" and who jHBt couldn't help telling ypu "what mean remark the other one made about you, and I Just said you didn't deserve it, so did!" I want all the mean things, to be said be hind my back. Let us all start off the New Year with the thought of passing along good words, kindly actions and generous thoughts. That does not mean gush nor sickening flattery. I ahnll try to be truth ful and kind, not untruthful and sycophan tic. I do not like to read a criticism full of fulsome gush, which was written by a person who verbally expressed an opposite opinion. Let us have truth ana pass tnat on! Mr. Oscar Gnrelssen bos left Omaha and will take up his abode In the east. No mat ter what may have been Mr. Garelssen's reasons for going, and he has not mads them public, Omaha loses a good musician. As a voice teacher I knew nothing of Mr. Garels sen, but as an interpreter, a singer, an ac companist, he challenges my admiration. I wish Oscar Rudolph Garelssen success in his new sphere, snd I sm reminded that when the May Festival association was be ing organized, and other musical persons were advocating the organization or a rival to that of Ak-Sar-Ben, Mr. Garelssen waa one of the first to come forward In a letter pledging personal support. The Tuesday morning musicals will have Its next program on January 6 at the home of Mrs. Herman Kountze. Miss jauison will have charge of the program, Chamlnade being the composer. Mrs. Sheetz, Mrs. Sun derland and Miss Bishop will sing ana Miss Hawley, Mlas Paulson and Mrs. Crofoot will play. The Oberlln College Glee club will give one of Its unique concerts on Monday (to morrow) night at the First Congregational church. Miss Corinne Paulson gave a pupils re cital last Wednesday afternoon in ner studio in the McCague building. Let me once more remind teachers that they niuat not expect mention of their pu pils' recitals In this column without writ ten notification. This column Is for tbs general public, not for snyone or two musicians, but the de partment has not a force large enough to send out musical news-gatherers.
