mlia premiere or Stantslav Le
tavskys comlo opera, "Frau
Anne, Dlo Dame om Futltsch,"
fl-H which had Its premiere In
5HMH l'oaen, Germany, December 30,
under tho baton ot tho young
composer met with a decided success. Tho
young man la an Omaha boy,' tho eon of
Mr. S. D, Iictovtiky, who played 'cello and
doublo baas for eo many years in tho
Omaha theater orchestras, nnd who now
resides upon a fruit farm outsldo of Flor
ence. Stanley Is remembered ns a young
violinist and pianist of much promise, and
as leader of the Omaha High school or
chestra about 1906. Ho began tho study
of muttq with his father at tho ago of 7
and later studied plana In this city with
Josef Gahm and Jean P. Dutflcld. This
was supplemented with composition ant
piano study In Europe. Stanley not only
composed the music for tho opera, "but
alo wrote the entire orchestration. There
Were 115 performers In tho opera and fit-ty-ono
In tho orchestra. Tho opera takes
three and n half hours, but In a letter to
his parents tho younff man said tho lib
retto would bo changed In some parts,
which will shorten It considerably. The
young man has written various works
for piano, all of which arc published by
Schleslngcr of Berlin, but this" Is his first
opera. The Musical Courier, In its Ber
lin letter, speaks of the premiere as fol
lows and adds a short biographical

The' other day I saw Mr. Indberg,
and asked hm how ho enjoyed his trip
to Lincoln, Where ho went last week as
exemtner ot music students for the Lin
coln high school. Ho Wcamo enthus
iasts instantly. "Fine! Fine!" ho re
plied, "that was one of the most Inter
esting things I ever did in my life."
Then ho went on to tell me about this
scheme which enables students of the
Lincoln High school to study music,
with outside music teachers and yet
have their musical education count with
pther studies In the high school course
toward a diploma.
The muslo teacher is required to fill
out quarterly report blanks in iupllcate.
one signed and one unsigned, and these
serve as a basis for examination at the
end of the year. The name ot pupil.
subject studied, voice, piano or other
Instrument; the number of lessons WKen;
the number ot lessons missed (and missed
lessons must be made up before the re
port will be accepted) and the averago
number of hours practiced are among
the first thins which appear on these
blanks. Tho technical progress durlnv
the period Is reported, the number of
compositions eluded ana remarks as to
the scope and quality of the work done.
Mr- Landsbcrs was given unsigned
blanks, sothat he did not know who
the teacher ol any pupil happened In be.
He then heard each one ot the pupils
play and examined them upon their
technical proficiency, expression, music
ianshlp and rhythm, and repertory, In
each case basing hjs grades upon the
reports of the teacher. In some rases
the technical proficiency was high, and
musldansblp low; In some the music
Janh!p was good, but the work chosen
bv the teacher was too difficult for the
pupil. In others the technical proficiency
and general musicianship were both good,
but wasted upon a cheap, poorly selected
repertory, that the choice of numbers
studies took the standard of repertory
below the ability. Such selections as the
"Klelweiss Glide," "Come Back to Erin."

Beside the accrediting of muslo with
outsldo- teachers the Lincoln IJIgh school
offers a course In musical appreciation.
Can you sea what Is being accompllshtd
In the musical situation In Lincoln by
this step of recognizing mustb as an
educational factor? It will do more that
give tho earnest or gifted pupil the
chanco to combine a musical and general
education; 11 will do more than to spread
the appreciation and execution of muslo
among- tho many thus raises the general
culture of the community. It means
the gradual elimination of that parasite
of the musical profession, the Incom
petent muaio ttacher. It not only ex
amines the pupils, but Its ' shows the
work of the teacher and unless his or her
pupils can take their places upon the
equal basis with others who have worked
under the same conditions, that teacher
will not be able to hold his own for any
lenEth of time. In the city. It Is a great
Incentive to wprk for both teacher and
pupil and Is a boon ot untold value to
the good music teachers at tho capital.
A similar scheme would be of great bene
fit In Omaha.
The Tuesday Morning Musical club Is
already, inakuig preparations for Its
March meetings; which will b a aerlea et
three programs on "Interpretation" by
Mr. Thomas J. Kelly at the residence ot
Mrs. George A. Joslyn. The first program
will be a lecture with musical Illustra
tions by Mr. Kelly alone, whllo tho other
two will be an "anthology of song" In two
programs by Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, assisted
by Mr. Martin W. Bush. Those who had
tho pleasure of hearing other lectures by
Mr. Kelly know what a musical and edu
cational treat they have In store. The
beautiful home of Mrs, Joslyn makes an
ideal setting for these musicals, and tho
rich-toned pipe organ adds exceptional
charm. Muslo lovers who aro not mem
bers ot the club will be interested to
know that a limited number of guest tick
ets wilt be available for these meetings
at tha, rate of S for tho three meetings.
Members aro urged to get Uckets for
their friends at tho meeting Tuesday,
February J. at the residence ot Mrs. Nash.
Other desiring tickets may obtain them
from Mrs. William F. Baxter, tha treas
urer of the club, as long as the supply
holds out.
Mme. Lucille Stevenson, who will be the
soprano soloist at the Crelghton Glee club
concert Wednesday evening at the Bran
dels la one of" tho foremost of American
sopranos, and one who has made good
both In oratorio work and upon the con
cert Uu. 6h4 has often su&u with the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, and In
1913 at tho tlmo ot tho orchestra's first
eastern tour she was chosen as the only
soloist to accompany tho organization.
As for her singing, those of you who do
not remember the Impression she made
hero several years ago may know that
sho has received the most enthusiastic
pralso from the most celebrated critics ot
New York and other musical centers, and
that there is a treat in store for you.
The concert wll bo chiefly Interesting
because ot the two well known soloists,
ilmo. Stevenson and Mme. Von Unschuld,
the Austrian pianist. Nevertheless the
contributions of the Gleo club will be not
without their -own peculiar Interest. This
la the club's fourth appearance In Its four
years ot existence, and each yearly pro
gram hoa met with success. With com
mendable ambition the students have
broken away from the traditional style of
glee programs and essayed the more seri
ous compositions for malo-voices without
going beyond their depth. Male choruses
are a great source of pleasure, and when
tho voices are balanced and properly
trained have a power and smoothness
which produce splendid effects. There are
about thirty-five members in the club, re
cruited from the different departments of
the university. Thclr practices are con
ducted under the leadership ot Mr Klch
ard T. Kersey. The program this season
cannot but prove pleasant, containing as
It does tho distinctly popular selections
from the operas which appear thereon.
Mme. Ottlleo Mltzgar, premiere con
tralto of tho Hamburg opera, comes to
us from the very position which Mme.
Cchumann-Helnk held before coming to
America. Tho Hamburger Frledenbladt
says: "What strikes one first of nil
when hearing Ottllel Metzgar Is the
timber of her vocal organ, a pronounced
contralto of that rarely heard, but
highly valued, sonorous, organ-like char
acter. But Mme. Mctzgers vivacious, ex
tremely creative mind explains the real
significance of her work." Mrs. Metz
ser will give a recital at the Brondels
theater on Monday afternoon, February
9th, assisted by Clara Thurston, solo
harplste. Considerable local Interest Is being
manifested In the appearance ot tho
Segura-Talllen, the Spanish Btnger, who
will appear as "Barbara" in "La
Gloconda" during the engagement of tho
National Grand Opera of Canada at the
Auditorium. February 19 and 30.
lie has been hailed as the greatest
Barbara of all times and aa a worthy
rival to the great Titta Buffo, who Is
the highest salaried baritone singer in
the world. Leo slezak, the giant tenor,
who appears tho second evening In
"Samson nnd Delilah," receives I1.BC0 for
every performance and next to Caruso
is tho highest priced tenor In opera.
Mme. Gervllle Reacho and Mme. Bap
pold have both been heard In Omaha In
concert and their reappearance here In
opera Is eagerly awaited.
The news ot the death ot Kmll Ltebltng
ot Chicago, who was prominent In the
musical life ot that city for more than
forty years, was heard In Omaha with
deep regret Several Omaha peopje have
been numbered amonf? his pupils, and his
pedagogical works haye made his name
familiar to every piano teacher.
Mr. Otto II. Tlede.inuslcal editor of the
Kansas City Fot,and organist ot St.
Peter's church in Kansas City is In
Omaha. Mr. Tlede was formerly direc
tor of music at Christian college, Co
lumbia, Mo. He Is at present In Omaha
In connection with compiling a musical
directory of the professional musicians
of this city, similar to one which has
been published with great success In our
