HB Grand Opera has come and
irone. Mary Garden did not
appear, it la true, but Thais
was given and Massenet's
beautiful music still lingers In
the memory. Borne persons
ruggested that perhaps Mary Garden had
been kidnaped or otherwise disposed, as
"Kobin. Hood" was around town for a
couple of days and might have been up
to his old tricks.
During the coming month Omaha will
revel In a number of recitals and con
certs, among them the farewell recital
of Mr. Max Landow, whom we have
come to look upon as our own. The
grand climax of the season Is, of course,
the series of concerts given by the
Omaha Mendelssohn Choir and the Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra, this being the
fourth season of the Joint concerts and
the sixth of the Mendelssohn Choir as
an organization. This Is a most im
portant concert, an far as Omaha Itself
la concerned, as this Is essentially an
Omaha event, it Is Important as far as
other places are concerned, also, for
one has but to recall what Mr. Iconard
l,lebllng said of the Mendessohn Choir
In the Musical Courier. Here was the
word of a man -who has been all over the
musical -world and ono .who Is familiar
with musical conditions In other places,
nnd It should be a source of pride to the
people of Omaha to support an organisa
tion -which could gain such favorable
comment from so well-informed a
louree.
The plans laid down by Conductors
Thomas J. Kelly and Frederick Stock
ore Interesting, as usual, and while the
people who crave the deepest and the
best In musical composition will receive
a wonderful foast, especially at the
matinee conoert when the famous
Brahms Symphony No. 2 will be pre
ented by the Orchestra, those who de
light In choral muslo In Its purity and
without any addition of' Instrumental
support will b rejoiced at the offerings
of this season. The Mendessohn Choir
will be obliged to Kivo most of the pro
gram next year without orchestra, as
that will be the clostng year of the five
year cdntract with the Thomaa orchestra,
now the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
and the programs will be a review of
the works of all previous seasons; so, in
view of that, it has been deemed wise to
present the Mendelssohn Choir this sea
son almost exclusively In unaccompanied
work, and the program will contain rep
resentative examples of many sides of
the wonderful art of choral singing. Here
there Is no chance to cover up anything
in the way of a defect; here one voice
may spoil an entire effect here no or
chestra carries along the choral body;
it must sustain and support Itself! no
clean, precise orchestral attack to hide a
careless choral attack; here, in this field
of unaccompanied choral singing) we
have the teat of a choir's powers of In
terpretation, singing, anting, rafusiclan-
ahlp, concentration, tor color and all
those other things whteh go to make up
what is called "atmosphere" n the music,
without which music must suffer. Choral
muslo in eight parta is difficult to sing,
and very difficult, indeed, is the modern
eight-part writing; modern writers of
choral work car not how many rhythms
aro going at the same time, and they
oven have holra singing in different
keys at the same time, and yet maklnC
very good harmony.
From the olden tlm, the cm of the
program will probably be the saintly
old lAtn "Cruclflxu," by Antonio
JUittl, a rare ojd master, who was at the
height of his fame SOO year agol His
work is a freah and aa Attractive today
as It w&a then. Mosaounrsky, Tsehsi
kowsky and Grotchanlnoff in contrast to
that represent the modern Russian school,
which has a field Just being explored.
The English schiot has had a re-birth
and Is now producing eomo of the clever
est choral muslo written. The Orchestra
will be heard In number which will be
possible owing to the fact of the choir
not needing so much accompaniment.
The Clef club gaveeTrecepUon last Sun
day afternoon at the Loyal hotel to the
members of the Flonialey quartet. The
grill room waa decorated with palms and
growing plants, and small tables were
placed here and there, where the guests
aipped'tea and discussed musical matters
in a most harmonious manner, different
groups In contrapuntal effect with, each
other. The warm spring air fairly vi
brated with musical atmosphere, and the
general opinion of the members and
guests was that they were glad to have
met these charming and unassuming art
ists in this Informal manner. The writer
has often found that in meeting musi
cians of sterling musicianship, and people
who have attained, in their art, that
some chance remark Is dropped which
wll give one food for thought for a long
time afterward. The writer was tor
tunate enough to lake tea in a group in
which the first violinist. Mr. Bettl, was
also present The conversation turned to
composers and drifted from Schonberg to
Moiart, and a glimpse of how the Flon
raleya have become the foremost cham
ber music organisation In the world was
given, when Mr. BetU said, "The muslo
of Mozart Is perhaps of all the most
difficult to play correctly. Occasionally
In a quartet we will find a paasage of
just four measures, which when we play
it over will sound very pretty, but that
Js not enough. U must be exactly cor-j-tct,
every little phrase and shade of ex
pression must be just so. Often we prac
tice four or five hours upon Just four
measures In Moiart before we are satis
fied. -
Think of that you students of the gentle
art of music- Four or five hours upon
four measures! It does not look as
though the Flonialey quartet had at
tained its position merely through luck
and Inspiration does It? Perhaps you are
accustomed to (pending about the same
number of minutes upon a truoblesome
passage in Mozart. Perhaps you do not
study Motart at all because he la "out
of date." Gut perhaps also you would be
creator than you are If you would not
;eave a troublesome phrase until you were
certain that you had all the oeauty out
of It, and that It satisfied from every
pant of view even If It took you more
than four or five hours upon four meas
ures. . .
The Minneapolis symphony orchestra.
JSmtl Oberhoffer, conductor, has Just sent
Miss Hopper the program which It will
give at the Brandeia theater on Sunday
afternoon. May 54. Assisting the orchestra

nichsrd Cunt-wonky, violinist, and Mr
Theodore Harrison, baritone The con

Mr. Henderson In the New York Sun
aptly crltlclcs the critic of "critics'' in
the following remarks:'
in the course of every season every
writer of musical comments for a dally
newspaper receives many letters. A
jrreat number of these call attention to
his errors. Naturally every newspaper
writer on music makes mistakes. Some
times In the rush of recording three or
four entertn!nmentsln one day he may
credit a song to a composer who did not
write It. or neglect to mention the name
of an Important number on n program
or at the opera may carelessly state that
Mr. Perkins sang the role of FerrucrXr
when It was really Mr. Bagshaw. He
may even spell an Italian word wrorg.
Such things are bound to happen onr
In m while, nnd the newspaper men thec
selves are rather astonished that the;
do not happen oftener
But. curiously enousli. the most Im
portant thing In the minds of a very larR
number of persons Is that the critic shall
bo able to Identify Instantly, on hearing
It any piece of music. Now. this means
thnt the man must know every song,
every opera nnd oratorio air, every plnno,
violin and cello composition, every piece
of chamber music and every orchestral
work ever created since music betraii
If he does not, he Is quite unfit to be n
critic.
At lesst that Is what a great mtiy
people seem to think. Hence, In tVIr
pmple minds there can be no one ronv
pettnt to be a critic, for there Is no man
living, musician, newspaper writer or
layman, who knows all these composi
tions. A similar state of mind has often he6n
noticed In a certain class of people In
regard to performing artists. If some
musician gives n concert and from nerv
ousness, overwork or Illness which may
have delayed practice, hsppens to miss
something technically, there are many
there who seem to rejoice mora In the
fact that this player has made a few
wrong notes or perhaps forgot a measure
or two, than in tho fact that he may
l.nve excellent musical understanding and
Ability and In tho fact that the other
parts of the program- have been excel
lently done. Their praise is grudgingly
given, but their adverse criticism freely,
It reminds one of the little girl who
coiled to another to hurry and get some
mud quick. "What for?" asked the
other one. "Why, Mary is coming down j
this way in a minute, and don't you
know she is going to be fho queen of the
May?"

Mr. Max Iandow will not go to Boston
When ho leaves Omaha this summer as
he originally had planned. Instead he
will go to the Poabody Institute. In Balti
more. Omaha musical people all wish
him success' In his future wor.lt. Thero
seems to be no doubt about his leaving.
Omaha, and ho may never coma back to
us, unless the climate will not agree
with him anywhero else. His program at
his farewell recital at tho Brandeia the
ater May 3 will be a popular one. He
will play Beethoven's "Moonlight So
nata." Chop(ns. Sonata In B flat minor,
which Is the one, which contains tho fu
neral march; the celebrated Bach organ
Tocatta and Fugue in D minor, arranged
trr Vi ntnnn Hv f?nrt Tnllnltr. and B. crroun
Yf selections- from Chopin and Liszt.
These groups also centaln some of tho
beet known compositions of these favor
ite composers. This wilt be Omaha's
last chance to hear Mr. Landow and to
do homage to his intrinsic) art. The pro
gram Is one which will appeal alike to
the serious music student and the gen
eral music-lover.
Mr. Louts Jansen-Wylle has spent a

AltY GARDEN'S failure to
come t6 Omaha for her an
nounced engagement has en
gendered something of a de
bate locally as to the obliga
tions' assumed bv a oeraon In
the position 6f Miss Garden. Some of tne
unregenerato incline to the opinion, and
voice It without hesitation, that the fail
ure of the cantatrlce to appear lie.-, is
userlbablo eolely to pure cussedncsa, on
part of either Mary or her management
One horn of the dilemma Is that Mnrv
didn't feel Hko slndnir thrpe nla-M In n
row, and so decided at tho latest moment
to cut out tho middle night; the other
horn Is that the seat sale In Omaha was
such as did not soem to warrant the
direction of the Chicago Grand Opera in
trotting out It most expensive tnr. and
so either prudence or parsimony led to
mo omission of Miss Garden from the
cast, thereby saving tl.SOo less what was
paid to Mme. Zepell. These Iconoclasts
penntt one to make a choice between the
propositions, but Insist on the cussedness
end of It. On the other hand, some sint
ers and others who know about music
nay ii is pnysicauy impossible ror Miss
Garden to-sing the rolo of Thais throa
consecutive nlghta
Now; If It be true that Miss Garden Is
physically Incapable of the feat, why did
tho direction of the Chicago Grand Opera
persist in announcing her for Des Moines,
Omaha and St, Joseph In three consecu
tive performances? No one should be
better Informed aa to the possible .physi
cal 'achievements of a prima donna than
a maestro, and Cleofonte Campanlenl
knew All along that the schedule of dates
for tho organization whose destiny he
directs called for three consecutive per
formances of "Thais," with Mary Garden
in the name, part each Ume. Now, if he
knew that she could not possibly achieve
the feat of singing three times In suc
cession, why did he permit the advertise
ment? Just keep In mind, while on this
topic, that Cleofonte Campanlenl'a opera
company has its home In tho city where
antlseptio advertising has gone beyond
tlie fad stage and becomo a sclonce. So,
If It was known in advance that the com
pany, was promising that Miss Garden
woulil do something that the direction
knew she could not do, then it seems
pretty plain that the direction waa pur
posely misleading- the public, and that
somebody was going to get buncoed. It
might be one of three towns, and it
turned out to bo Omaha. If the feat In
not one beyond the power of a singer,
and Mary Garden didn't come to Omaha,
Just because her artistic temperament
took a notion to go to St'. Joe, then It is
Plain that Mary Is the one who is to be
blamed. If the direction of the company,
because of prudence or parsimony, a the
case may be, felt Impelled to save the
difference between the salary paid Miss
Garden and that paid Mme. Zepell, then
on. the head of the direction again must
fall the blame. It doesn't make much
difference which Is responsible, between
them they have given Omaha much cause
to shy when grand opera is mentioned.
As to whether the feat of singing the
role of Thais three nights in succession
is too much to ask of any opera elrinsr
some difference of opinion may be In
dulged. Allowing that to sing la a
greater strain on the voice than to talk,
It Is not Inconceivable that the strain on
an actor Is finally as great as that on a
singer. And we see actors going about
year after year, playing long roles
nightly with apparent teat .rather . than
fatigue. No more exacting role was ever
set down for a woman than, the part of
Katusha In "Resurrecjlon," yet Blanche
Walsh played that part for more than
300 consecutive performances, mostly In
one-night stands: Sarah Bernhardt has
several Ume played more than 300 con
secutive performances In the United
States, traveling incessantly from town
to town during her stay, as most of her
engagements weie but for a single per
formance. On her last tour but one.
when she played "IAlglon" at tho Bran
dels on Sunday night, she, gave twenty
four performance In twenty-one nights,
three times playing In two towns In the
same day, and traveled from Denver to
Detroit by way of Colorado Springs,
Pueblo, Hutchinson. Wichita, Topeka,
Kansas City. Bt. Joseph, Omaha, Des
Moines, St. Paul. Minneapolis, Milwau
kee, Racine and Grand Rapids. Such a
route would make a Mary Garden shiver,
should she ever see lit' picked out on a
map. When Blanche Walsh was making
her famous tour In "Resurrection," she
said Colin Kemper, under whose manage
ment she was then, had Columbus dis
tanced as a discoverer, for he found one
night stands that did not appear on the
map. Many other actors have followed
routes aa strenuous as these,- and they
have not been the lesser lights ' of the
stage, either. Kdirln Booth, Richard
Mansfield, Sothern, Skinner and other
Ithjheaierj"
- - - - -i
have not hesitated to take their turn on
tie "one-night" tours, and have carried
the light of their genius to the people
who otherwise might never have heard
them. One conclusion only can bo drawn
from this comparison, and that is Mary
Garden doesn't care' much if the people
hear her and that she -la not willing to
take any risk of discomfort to make It
possible that they should.
It may turn out that in -time this senti
ment will be reciprocated, and the peo
ple will resent the flouting In which some
pampered stars apparently delight. It
isn't a novelty by any meatia; Colonel
Mapleson used to complain bitterly of the
whims of the songbirds under his direc
tion; Maurice Grau might have told
many stories, and he would,' of the capri
cious element that mingle In the makeup
of prima donnl, and tmpressarios have
always had their troubles. But It Is pos
sible that In time these notionate and
uncertain singers may succeed In teach
ing the public hpw to get along without
them. It Is quite conceivable that Omaha,
whose peoplo have never heard Mary
Garden sing Thais, can wiggle along
some way under tho deprivation, nnd it
Isn't entirely outside the realm of possi
bilities that prosperity will attend tho ac
tivities of tho people It Mary should never
again turn her face in thlB direction. But
efforts to build up' and, foster art, to
cultivate a general taste for the best, to
stimulate popular .interest In the works
of the great, are not likely to be fructi
fied by such capers as resulted in the
disappointment of those who had hoped
to hear the much-advertised Mary Gar
den at the Auditorium last Tuesday
night. Mary can well afford to say
"Isch ga blbble," for she Js above the
public; but there's another side to the
picture, and she may note It some day;
also the direction of the, Chicago Grand
Opera company may get a peek at It.
Last seen In Omaha two seasons ago as
the star In Belasco'a production, "The
Fighting Hope," Blanche .Bates, one of
the most distinguished of American act
resses, is to be the leading feature this
.week of the bill at the Orpheum theater.
With a company of eight people she is to
present the leading role in a one-act play
of three scenes. "Half an Hour," by J.
M.' Barrle. When Miss Bates passed
from the Belasco management to that of
Charles Frohman, It was decided that
she should Interpret the character of
Lillian Garson in B&rrle's "Half an
Hqur." But she was taken ill before the
opening night in New Ybrk, and for that
reason Grace George was assigned to the
part. Fortunately, however, a limited
vaudeville engagement is to give Omaha
theater patrohs an opportunity to see
Miss Bates In this, role that Ms said to
be admirably adapted to her personality
and intense dramatic feeling.
The Zanclgs, billed as ''two minds with
but a single thought," are said to be the
most adept mind readers .that have ever
come over the Orpheum circuit. How do
they accomplish their feats of -thought-transmission?
Is it trickery or occultism?
Whatever it may be, it Is a demonstration
seemingly beyond credibility. When they
were here some eight years agp thIr
performance piqued the interest of the
whole city.
Instrumental music, comedy and danc
ing are to.be offered by Damarest and
Chabot Two strong men, Sim Collins
and I-ewii Hart, with the assistance of
Harry Kelly, do a burlesque chat Is said
to be very funny. The ventriloquist. Ray
Conlin, is said to be a capable funmaker.

this organization has always excelled.
"Any Time," the burlesque which will be
presented, Is said .to have been lavishly
equipped as to scenery and costumes.
George M, Cohan has given to Mr. Reovos
permission to use his number "Tho
American Regttmc," a fact which adds
materially iu uio musical pari 01 mo
performance. This engagement being
Mr. Reeves' exit from musical burlesque,

Private hearings of cases Involving

belief that newspapermen and spectators
should not be allowed to listen to recitals

Testimony In several cases, as a result,
