Outdoor Olub Life Feature of Summer Time in Omaha (Continued from Page One.) them to Lake Manawo, a few miles south of Council Bluffs and across the Missouri river. Few peoplo of Iowa or Nebraska don't know the pleasures offered them, and persons in the remotest parts of the United States have heard favorably of It An enterprising company has seen the advantages of the lake and established on one side of it a beautiful concession park. To this thousands of people go every summer day that It is open to them and 'get a lasting taste of that happiness that only such a lako can give. Through this means thousands have come to know Its advantages, yet they cannot realize Its greatest pleasures as do the members of the Council Bluffs Rowing associa tion, which has a large club house on Us shore a short distance north of the park. The name of the club Indicates its chief amusement rowing. Each member owns a canoe, rowboat yacht, launch or motorboat, and he prides himself on the sailing and speeding condition 'in which he keeps it All summer long ho reaps a harvest of mirth from the big body of water. His leisure days he spends making new craft, repairing the old, testing them out and pleasure rowing, paddling or skulling across the depths; and again at night, especially when the moon is out, those glad times that only those of the waters can know, are his. Often the stranger may become sorely envious when he Is sitting near the shore and he hears the music,' the sing ing and the laughter of these club mem bers floating to htm from gliding craft far out on the moonlit lake. It's'the kind of Joy told of in Interesting books where muilo always come "wafting o'er the sylvan waters." Yet that Is Just a taste of the outdoor life of Omaha. Joy usually is coy and must be caught unawares. In Omaha, in the summertime, It chases you down, wraps you In a teasing embrace and laughs, "I am all yours." lly 1IKNIIIKTT.V M. KICKS. .HE MKND10LK8OHN CHOIR T and Thomas Orchestra Con certs for tho Reason of 1313 nro now a thing of tho past, and even yet. different mem bers of tho choir arc hearing enthusiastic complimentary comment about them. One Interesting thing about this comment Is that It comes from so ninny different kinds of peoplo with so many different kinds of musical tastes. Which goes to show that tho choir with a mixed program of shorti-c selections and a few choice excerpts from tho big ger works-a sort or vaudeville bill of good music If you wish-succeeded In pleasing everybody from the well trained musician who listens to tho music for IH Intrinsic value, to tho average llstoner, who pursues other lines most of the time to that his attention when It Is occas ionally turned to real imislo Is an un trained muscle, that can not stand too severe a strain, nor too much of ono kind of muslo. From the other side of tho footlights It was an Inspiration to slug with tho orchestra, and one thing that Inspired the members to their best efforts was tho way In which the mem bers of tho orchestra would turn around and look back at tho choir with on ex pression of Interest and pleasure upon their faces during tho twnccompantctt numbers, and several tlmui tho altos were overjoyed by a dceptoned "Brnvol" from one of tho players In front of them. These men play with all tho Important choral organizations In tho country and are qualified to Judgo of the work done by each. Mr. Stock, the soloists and individual members, expressed themselves enthusiastically about our organization. Comparisons aro often odious, but It you want to know what some of tho Ger man speaking members of tho orchestra told Mr. Landsberg nbout our choir In comparison with others, ask him. At any rate Omaha Is gnlnlng famo not only In a business way, but also In a cultural way throughout tho country, and these concerts have given tho city a big boost in that direction. As all tho numbers presented were of such uniform excellence as compositions It Is hard to tell which left the most lndcllblo Impression, oven after tho lapso of soveral days, Tho two principal num bers. In which tho choir nnd orchestra Joined forces were, of course, tho Wag ner and Verdi numbers, which were pre sented upon different evenings. These worn presented In such a way that If it rcnlly Is as Maeterlinck tells us In tho Hlucbltd, that thoso who aro on the other shoro awnke, when they are thought of In this llfo, Mr. Wagner nnd Mr. Vcrdl must havo been awakened very pleasantly In order to receive, their hun dredth anniversary present from the Omaha Mendelssohn Choir, and stayed awake long enough not only to listen to theso wonderful Inspirations that had como to them, but to receive tho en thusiastic applause of tho audience, which reflected credit not only upon those taking part, but upon the genius of tho men great enough to have writ ten bucJi compositions. Tho orchestral number portraying the murmuring of Siegfried's forest was one of tho most beautiful tilings that the writer has aver heard In all tho literature of orchestral muslo. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, will give one concort only at tho Omaha Auditorium on Tuesday evening, May 27. A special platform will bo constructed In front of the procentum arch and tho orchestra will bo assisted by three soloists, selected from the artists which they are carrying on their spring tour. They are: Arthur Mtddleton, basso, who Is a great favorite with Omaha music lovers; Barbara Walt, contralto, who has a rich, full voice and has received marked praise, throughout the tour for her won derful Interpretative powers, and Richard Crerwonky, vtollnst and concort-master of the orchestra, has many admirers in the city. Czerwonky Is a protego of Dr. "-frffl of Interna- Karl Much, nnd an artist tioiml reputation. This concert by the Minneapolis or chestra nnd soloists will be offered at popular prices. Advanco tickets are now on salo at Hayden Bros, arid A. Hospe's tnuslo departments at '81.00 each. These will entitle the holder to the very best seats In the Auditorium and the offer will only remain open till May 20. The orchestra comes here under the manage ment of Evelyn Hopper and arrangement for sharing the obligation has been made by Mrs. H. J. Klrschsteln whereby the entire membership of the North Side Chris tian church may assist In the ticket sale and receive 25 per cent on all of their sales, to apply on the cot of the new plpo organ recently Installed In their church. In reviewing theseason of the Chicago Symphony orchestra In Chicago theso points wore brought out by different lo cal writers. That In all some 161 compo sitions were performed by Mr. Stock nnd his excellent band of players. Of theae composers twenty ek-lit were German, eleven were born In Fronce and two In Italy. Flvo were natives of Russia and two of Britain, whllo no less than ten wjorks by American composers wore presented. Critics ngreo that those who nre glad that Mr, Stock wan generous In these presentations should bo still more glad that tho numbers presented should bo of so excellent a quality. Glenn DII lard Gunu, In speaking of n few of these, writes as follows: Thoso who listened with open minds discovered In the symphony of David Stanley Smith a work worthy to be com pared With tlie second, third ami fourth symphonies of Brahms, and in tho violin concerto by John Powell an example of melodlo Inspiration nnd characterization that even In Its racial nspocti surpaimed the Tschalkowsky concerto Furthermore, this music roveated to Americans a beauty new and strange. For It accomplished worthy and enduring (Continued on Page Nine.)
