B THE OMAHA SUNDAY BKE: MARCH 3, 1912. 7 mm T r 22 MV 5 1 C H13 law. sreek ha bees (uU of Mndelsoha choir interest and excitement. Dunstoa Cottm has been here from Chicago nclplng Mr. Itlrchmore wltb the working up of the guaran tee lawL Thus far their efforts bar been successful. Do Omaha people realize Just what they have la the Mendelssohn choir? How superlatively good It Is? Better than al most any organisation ot its Una in the country; ranking well with the Mendels sohn choir of Toronto, which occasionally makes a short (light to New York and Chicago, and you can't get even standing room for a week .before Its concerts, It tskea a tremendous amount of courage for our choir to bring the Thomas orches tra here, giving them a guarantee of marly K.908. Ttis benefit to the city ot a festival conducted on such a scale of artistic merit m untold. Omaha Is grow ing aad we must develop along esthetic lines aa well as material ones. It Is a Vsst satisfaction this week to think ot the exhibit of pictures at the library, which by the jay cost the women of the Society ot Pine Arts close to COM. Every city that is fit to live In must fcara these things. The screw that Is loose In this town Is that the business men have not yet waked up to the tact that good pictures and good music are municipal assets. Transient visitors com to a city for what they can see and hear. This little squib from the Metropolitan Magasine expresses a great truth. W hen are our John Stones going to turn kip? And when will our "boosters' begin to support orchestral concerts? The deep wave of enthusiasm for music Is In the country; the crest of the wave Is In the cities, Every metropolis we have more than one Is a mammoth con servatory. Pt cities support svmphuny orchestras of the first rank. They are Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City. St. Paul and Minneapolis. A sym phony orchestra, be it known, is the ne plus ultra ot a music center. To support such a luxury Is Impossible save with the liel of many well-to-do John Stones. It Is also Impossible without a solid founda tion ot music-lovers enough to fill the hall nearly every time. The city that has one has something that Its commercial association can use with large effect In advertising literature. Per it has come to be recognised in the west that musical achievement Is a municipal asset. The boolers of a city now call attention to Its banks, its newspaper. Its wharves. Its factories and Its symphony orcliestra. e) Every artistic venture has to have two ends, the artistic end and th business end. It Is too bad when Mr. Kelly gives tils whole strength aad devotion to his part of th work, and does It with true Inspiration, that he should be worried Into actual physical illness by the prac tical aspect of the festival. Mr, Collins said this, and It sounds Ilk good sense: "Th first festival year Is easy; the second year Is very hard; the third year not quite so hard: after that It Is easy again, and the people wouian't tor anything give up their festival." , In some way the business men of the Mty must be put back of the Mendelssohn Choir and the .Theodora.. Thomas Or chestra. ' - . Does anyone here In Cmaha really know anything definite . . abent Jules Lumberd? Article sun seem to be com ing out In the papers saying that he la very poor and In need of help.- 1 have telephoned to various people who need to know him well, but they seem to have lost any Intimate knowledge of hint sines he went to Chicago. Now, I know abso lutely that there are a great many music lovers here who would consider It a priv ilege and the discharge ot a pleasant lubt to bave the opportunity of helping Idles Laimberd. How many years, we listened to Ms wonderful bass voice. Who of us has not thrilled at bis slating If "Are T Slaepin', Maggie?" There sre those of us still' left who remember the guartet at Trinity cathedral composed of sir. 1. W. Cotton (now Mrs. Herman Kountxe), so pre so; Mrs. Modler, con tralto (now a prominent worker In mu Heal circle la Oakland, CaM; Walter Wllklns. tenor twho only recently re signed hi post), and Jules Lumbard, basso. Personally, I love every one ot 1 I hem. They are all deeply bound up In th musical life ot this city. They were pioneer of the true type, who did I heir work conscientiously and well. In spiring young talent was not the least part of their service. To think of Jules Lumbsrd, old and In need, hurts. Won't somebody who know wake up and say something, so that those of us who want le caa either make a relief plan or be assured that he I comfortable and does hot need our help. Fifty years sgo In the bitterest ot the civil struggle, when the ranks of the union army had t be recruited by the draft, Jules Lumbard and his brother toured tb country with th Arlington minstrels and demonstrated that "on blast upon the bugle was worth (MM men.' They -made the "Battle Cry of r reedom" so great aa Instrument for the Inspiration of patriotism that Abra ham Lincoln once said at a public ban quet: "Let me tell you thai two men end they are not military men by their singing have got more men to enlist In the United States army than fifty times Is of our best recruiting officers rer addressed." On Monday afternoon at t o'clock Mr. Kelly gives the ftrst of his Wagnerian lecture recitals at the reslder.ee of Mrs, Josls n. "Dee Rheinrold" being his subject The demand (or the extra season tickets ha beea very gratifying. No single ad mission have been sold and the season tickets ar not transferable. ir.

Mr. Eamcs studio Is in the Wead building, a very pleasant piae accommodating pertapa sixty or eighty l-eopie. He gave an Informal talk upon the "Future ot American Art before the women ot the Society ef Pine Arts !rUay morning at the library In the ex nibitloa rooms. It aas been- Interesting all this week to go the round ot the pictures with the various people who really know and understand them and hear their different comments. Taste is entirely a matter of temperament. The people who took at the pictures are fun as absorbing a the pictures themselves. Have you a misty, impressionistic tem-r-erarr-e-rt? Are you the kind woe keeps acceunta ard with rather a genius for rocndlr.g up detail.

Mr. Cecil Berry man, accompanist Few musical event of the season bar aroused such general Interest as the coming recital of Charles W. Clark, the celebrated beiitorret. Tuesday evening, March 11 at th l-'irat Methodist church under th direction of Miss Blanch Sorensnn. Thst an unusual treat la In stor for musio lovers Is evident from the following extracts from a personal letter written last fall to Miss Horen son by Glenn Dlllard Ounn,' orttlo of the Chicago Tribune: "Tuu are to be con gratulated on securing Cbsrles W. Clark for one of your artist 1 consider Mr. Clsrk without any question one of the greatest recltallate before this or any other public." Following bis recital in Chicago. February .IS, Mr. Ounn wrote as follows In tha Tribune: "Being an American ot wide Kurapssn experience. Mr. Clark is able to represent every school of song with authority. - His Control of his vocal resources Is no less eomplet than hi understanding ef the requirement of aong Interpretation! and, Mnoe hi voice hs unquestionably one of the most beautiful now to be heard In concert,' the recital becsra on of th most notable event ef th season." On of the Interesting features ot his re citals ar his programs. They ar noted for the educational value as well as their wonderful musical excellence and the various numbers are always characterised by an authority and eoKolarllness equalled by few singers. The program which Mr. Clark will prevent In Omaha is the earn which arouses! such enthusiasm In New Tork and other eastern cities. With one or two except tone sll the numbers are new to Omaha, and no singer or student should fail to hesr these songs Interpreted as they should be by a great artist. Heats will Tie plsced on sal at th A. Hcsp company this week. Instead of glvlnsr over ths second night of tha Mendelssohn Choir festival to a long work . like the "Elilsn," the man orrment derided this year to give the Theodore Tbomaa orchestra more op portunity to exploit itself, while not taking away In suiy sens the function of the Mendelssohn rholr, or In any way curtailing Its usefulness In the matter of presenllns; beautiful choral work. Th result of this plan will be that the see end evening of tne festival will he one of great variety and It le predicted that this season's programs will be a Source of much gratification. One of the beautiful number will he sung by the Mendelssohn cbotr aeeomnanied by the orchestra will be "The Sands of TVe by Oliver King, a short "choral ballad" aa the composer calls It, without solos snd written expressly for chorus and orchestra: the parte have been received in the last week direct from the Kiitlsh firm which handiest It, and the full score will arrive in a week or so, it having to be imported for this occasion.

Burton Tells of the English Stars HERB is In town today a man tt-w-ea, I who Is, perhaps, as well qual I I I fled to write or speak of the any ether living person. It Is Percy Burton, now here with Forbes-Robertson, of whom be I the general manager. Mr. Burton baa en joyed the unique experience ot being con nected, either In an acting or a business capacity, with a round half dosen of England's, foremost artists of th stage, Forbes-Robertson being the last ot a lin which beswa with Sir Charles Wyndbam and which ha Included Wilson Barrett, Sir Henry Irving, H, B.

Nevertheless, he note that two ot th trio still living In London an aged men; that Forbes- I Robertson plans to spend but two more I seasons upon the stsge, and that no wor ; thy successors of these eminent men , aeem to be Bow in procea ot development oa the other side.

"After leaving Wyndham I was th ad vance manager for Wilson Barrett until th day t his death. He had a great heart and was exceedingly popular, espe cially among the middle and poorer classes.
