IUS wek the muslo jouitia.!s
are to a great extent given
ft seems that there are more
manage than ever, and
each one pi mm to give more
ponceite than ever. R. K. Johnson , bt
"ew York hun a schedule fori U0 con
ertu on his calendar,
Looking over the lists one sees the
familiar faces of many artists well
fcnown to American audiences. We see
jlhe faces of some of our old friends
ho have neglected our shores for manr
Seasons. Kaven Scharwenka.1 Rm'lolf
!ans, Leopold Godonaky and Tsaye
raong them. We we what looks like
bumper crop of new stars, all supposed
io be of brilliant luster. It Is lnterest
ng to notice that each year more Amen,
can flames appear In these lists; there
ft a large percentage coming back to
frlalm fame In their own country in the
concert field. In the Metropolitan's ranks,
pd even, , In fact. In the ranks of all
prrand operas.
In the outlook for the coming yea tt
Js surprising to see how many cities ara
supporting their own orcheetras. In all
Iw-rta of the country reports are coming
hat the orchestra is beginning rehear
I als and after a season In the home
town will make an extended tour. Truly
pmphony concerts will be numerous in
i merles, this year.
I noticed the other day in a Chicago
' taper an article which remonstrated
fvtth the habit of young American artists
vlw have studied In this country with
tplendld teachers who then go abroad
jfor a while, and when they reappear to
Jour their own country do not acknowl
edge their American beginnings. One
fiould think an artist would be proud
. to think he had been able to get such
K splendid start and even finish In his
iwn country.
When one sees the lists of celebrated
teachers In such centers as New York
fchicago and Boston, men and women of
renown the world over, one Is inclined
o pause and wonder why so many of us
Bo abroad earn year, struggle with a ne
language and an unmusical neighborhood
Ithat objects to students practicing) and
ail tbs inconveniences for what could be
fm.i at home. : Even In Omaha, we have
touchers who are splendid In their par
ticular line, some of whom could teach
tiu:!y of the students that go abroad a
r;:i:il deal that perhaps it will take them
ff vch longer to get elsewhere.- Some say
t! ?" S fr nimoephere, some really do
M j" j v. ;t! splendid European teachers,

v ICui'opeati label, and In exchange they
avo delivered a cnnntrierable pile of
.merlcan money to Europein coffers. T
When we see these Americans who re
turn and io not acknowledge their Ameri-
in start, ; we, hop something at some
time wilt happen to them Ilk the cas ot
the farm girl who had been away to col
lege, and when she returned to the farm
with a group of city friends, saw a rake
lying on the ground, she stepped upon it
teeth and said: . . . .
"What's this, papa?" But as the handle
flew up and hit her In the face she said:
"Oh, darn ttaa rake."
The other day after reading a great deal
about the . musical conditions In the
United States, how we are growing in ap
preciation and the gradual Increase In
the grand opera companies, and In the
demand for opera on our shores, I did a
little Independent thinking and decided
America was In Its musical adolescence.
Continuing this train of thought, I
thought of the adolescent boy. He Is
usually an Individual who- has just started
away to school. He wears a loud, plaid
cap and extreme clothea .He uses such!
a peculiar language that it Is with diffi
culty anyone but his chums can under
stand him. To .look at .him, or hear him
talk, one would think he didn't know any
thing. And yet this earn lad Is the one
that Is learning the 0ne points of law,
literature or engineering. Gradually his
Interest in these will supersede the lighter
things, he will take pride In looking re
fined and In using the best English. Give
him time and he may make a better man
than some that have lived much logger.
Why Isn't ragtime the musical poster?
A poster Is a drawing' without great
depth of idea. Intended to catch the eye
and convey its 1 meaning Instantly.'' A
ragtime piece catches the ear, and we
whistle and hum and dance a few steps
to It for about a month and then we must
have a new favorite. v
MuhIc is to the ear what pictures are
to th eye. Oftrn a fainting will re
mind us of tome piece of music we have
heard, not so "much because they have
anything in common, but because the ef
fect upon us .Is th'ame. i Perhaps the
subjects are similar, only In one rase the
ereator has expressed himself with a va
riety of colors and In the other with a
variety of . tones.
Posters are treated with' distorted lines
and bright colors and rftsrtlrre Is fee'cd
with distorted time and a lively tempo.
I have seen, posters much more- clever :ti
Idea : and- construction than some of the
pictures In art galleries", and I have alto
heard ragtime pieces -much more clever
In melodlo Idea and .harmonization than
some of the standard - teaching pieces.
And yet. If we step Into a friend's house,
110 matter how clever some of the post
ers "may be, 'we do not see their walls
decorated with any of them, but those
same friends will have nothing but rag
time on their piano. , .
4
I am merely considering ragtime musi
cally, the words as a rule are so coarse
and ribald that they are not worth oonj
slderlng. "Why ' doesn't some club, or
church pass a bill In some legislature, for
the censorship of the words of popular
niuulu ? They Would s not for r a moment
consider a picture in their houses or on
the, streets that ! would be a little , bit
risque, but they allow their children to
sing the words to songs, that are much
more Indecent Often a catchy tune Is
spoiled by the low standard of the words
put to It To hear a sweet young giri
sing a song with - such Improper words
reminds one of the beautiful fairy prin
cess, ' from whose lips when she talks,
toads and ltsards fell.
The first concerts of the 'Thomas or-
chestra Friday afternoon and Saturday
evening of the last week were given as
a memorial to Jules Slassenet. The pro
gram Included a suite by the celebrated
composer arranged by him from the in
cidental music to one of' his earliest
dramatic attempts
The Chicago inter"ocen has started
(he idea of printing the names of scores
to be found In the Newberry library of
the pieces played by the , Thomas or
chestra each week, which ' reminds me
that we have really an excellent musical
library In our public library ', here in
Omaha, I wonder how many of the
students ever use It?

Do you ever, at any of the fashionable
receptions given here In Omaha, draw
yourself away from the throng of merry
guests to the corner, where the strains
of a harp are coming from behind ra
bank of palms, and listen for a " few
minutes to the muslo for itself? It is
probably Miss Swanson that Is playing
and the few moments, thus snatched will
well repay the effort Sites' Swanson. ha?
traveled with the Minneapolis orchestra
and often fills engagements out of town
for concerts, and yet we Omahans seldom
hear her as a soloist. .. ' r ;

a musical at her (beautiful home. In .Lin

Louise Wylle and Miss Swanson to, give
the program. It was a delightful affatr,
as It could not 'help, but be. Isn't.. It
strange that more people do not entertain
with music? Often a . couple, of local
