ITH the arrival of cool weather,
the return of the vacationers
from their outings and. a cor
responding quickening of life
In all llnes of work and play,
the musicians will bring out
their music, tune up their instruments
and get in line for the fall and winter
musical season.
Not to be overlooked In the musician
class are the amateurs. Although they
do not look upon their talent ns a call
ing or vocation and do not put It to
remunerative purposes, still they bring,
to their own music, an amount of earnest
study and, to music in general, a con
tagious enthusiasm which go a long way
toward making Omaha a musical clt.y
There are several amateurs who,, ac
cording to the professors themselves!
could hold their own easily In the pro
fessional class both a performers and
as teachers. But these gifted amateurs
follow the muse merely for the love of
music.
Among the amateur musicians are
matrons with household and social du
ties, society girls and daughters of well-to-do
families who either do not need or
do not care to put their talent to prac
tical use, business men to whom music
Is as much of a recreation as golf or
tennis would be to others, young people
in whom musical ability has cropped out
early and who may become accomplished
lerformers in yeare to come.
What would the professionals do with
out the amateurs who go to them for
Instruction and Inspiration, who support
local musical enterprise nd 'ho keep
alight the fire of enthusiasm for all
things musical?
The first organisation for the promo
tion of musle in Omaha remembered by
music patrons today, was the Ladles'
Musical club which became the muslool
department of the Woman's club when
It was started nineteen years ago. Later
a few women who had been prominent
In the music club, easing we neea xor
another musical society started the
Tuesday Morning Musical- ciun. ihb
founders were Mrs. Henry, p. wnumore,
Mrs. Gilbert M. Hitchcock, Mrs; Clara
Rustln Mcintosh, who is now In Ger
many, nd Mrs. John Buchanan, wha
has not been heard of In Omaha for
several years.
The club began as a strictly amateur
organisation. No professional musicians
were allowed. But gradually It broad
ened out until It la today the largest or
ganlsatlon of the kind In the city and
numbers both professional and amateurs.
It has 175 active and associative members
and some of the best amateur as well as
professional talent in Omaha.
.About six years ago a little coterie of
women In the Tuesday Morning MusIcbJ
club decided that this club was too pro
fessional and large for them and that
they would organize a small club of
earnest workers to meet for study and
practice, - The organisers were Mr Whit
more and Mrs. Hitchcock. ,. . ; . . ,
In order thst there should be no mis
take as to the club's character, It was
named the Amateur Musical club. The
membership was confined to women and
was limited to fifteen. Once a month the
plub ha a program at the home of some
member In which certain members take
part. The last program of the season Is a
recital, to which guests are invitea. Last
year the club studied the development
of music from earliest ttimes, reading
papers on the subject and playing selec
tion In illustration. v
Of the pianists of the club Mrs. Whit
more and her'' daughter, Miss Eugenie
Whitmore, are excellent performers, who
have a large repertoire and who appear
before the club together in duets as well
as in solos. On their yearly trips abroad,
Mrs. Whitmore and her daughter absorb
as much music as time allows In the
European musical centers and come back
full of Inspiration for themselves and
their friends.
Mrs. Hitchcock has always been classed
as one of the best pianists of the city
and has given many years of study to her
favorite art It Is worthy of note that
she Is one of the few grandmothers who
keep their accomplishment bright and
polished with constant use.
Mrs. George C. Mclntyre Is an able
pianist, having studied much abroad. Bhe
Is an expert accompanist The Mclntyre
household Is unusually musical, for, Mr.
Mclntyre Is' both a singer and a 'cellist.
Mrs, William F. Baxter la perhaps the
moKt studious pianist of the club. She
goes deep Into the theory of music. Most

of her early study was done In St. Louis
before she came to Omaha to live.
No violinist 'in the club and perhaps
no violinist in the' city has so remarkable
an instrument aa has Mrs. T. J. Mahoney.
She has a wonderful violin, over 200 years
old. It was made by Ruggeirrl, the Ital
ian vlollnmaker, and has exquisitely
sweet tones. The Instrument is priceless
to Mrs. Mahoney and Its intrinsic value
goes up'into four figures. The old fiddle
was given her by her father on her wed
ding day. She began studying shortly
after her marriage and has kept It up
ever since. ' - "
Mrs. Mahoney is a conscientious and en
thusiaatlc violinist No bridge parties,
luncheons or teas can break in on her
lesson days or her practice hours.
Mrs. George Barker, jr., studied violin
at Oberlln college and is now studying
piano," so that she can accompany Mr.
Barker, who is also a violinist
The club boasts one 'cellist Miss Belle
von Wansfelde, who spends most of .her
time when not teaching mathematics to
high school boys and girls, to her music.
Miss von Mansfelde learned to play the
cello first to please her father. Dr. von
Mansfelde of Ashland, and has made big
strides In the mastery of this difficult
instrument, and chiefly through her own
study. Except for a few lessons with
Carlo Fisher, Miss von Mansfelde has
been almost entirely self-taught
The club has a number of good voices,
most of them trained by Omaha teachers.
The singers of the club are Miss Alice
Kennard, Mrs. Harry NIcholsonMrs. J.
T. Stewart, Jr.; Miss Marie Mohler, who
Is now abroad studying, and Mrs, F. R.
Van Rensselaer, whose parents, Major
and Mrs. Lord of the Philippines, are
both singers and took an active interest
In musical affairs while stattoned here. ,
The Amateur club, while the only non
professional organization, does, not com
plete the roll of talented amateurs.
Among the officers of the Tuesday Morn
ing Musical are musicians of ability:
Mrs. C. M. Wllhelm, president; Mrs. R.
N. iloTfreil, vice president; Mrs. Clement
Chaae, secretary; Mrs. Baxter, treasurer,
mentioned before, and the directors, Mrs.
C. C. Kountxe, Mrs. A. C. Smith and Mrs
Myron L. Learned. ,
It would be hard to name any one who
has contributed more to musical .Omaha
In the way of Interest and her own high
class performances . than , Mrs. Samuel
Kat. Mrs. Kats Is one who has de
serted the professional for the amateur
pianists." v- - ' '''" :i ' s
Mrs. U K, Crofoot and Miss Frances
Nash-elsters are Wso especially good
performers on the piano. The latter Is
giving much time to musib lately and ex
pects to leave next 'month for Berlin
where she will study music all winter.
It Is thought that she will go on the
concert stage.
Mr. Gerrlt.Fort,, Mrs, Walter Silver
and' Miss Mabel Balcombe, the latter of
Whom is4 planning" to' attend the' grand
opera In New York , this season, are
among the able pianists, and among the
good singers ars Mrs. Wagner Thomas,
Mrs. Thomas J, Rogers, 'and Mrs. J. A.
C. Kennedy.
' The women do not monopolise ' the
musical ability of the amateurs. F. S.
Cowgill enjoys many an hour playing on
his violin. And there are good singers
among the men Will McCune, Chief of
Police Dunn, Maynard Schwarta Snd
many others.
And the young people must not be for
gotten. Mies Helen Fearce, daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. F. B. Pearce, who al
though only 15 years of age, is consid
ered a pianist of remarkable ability for
her age and a career of note Is ex
pected for her. As much can be said of
Miss Dorothy Morton, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs.' C. W. Morton, who combines
both the ability to play unusually well
with astonishing creative powers for one
so young. . .
Miss Luella Allen, violinst, has re
turned from her summer vacation at
Bates Park, and opens her studio on
Monday, September 16.
