themo la presented first, wo will follow It
through before taking up the other. Tho
season practically began with Edith U
Wag-oner's piano recital at the Young
"Women's Christian association auditorium.
October 9. There have been numorous
local recitals this year, among those
heard being- Kdlth L. Wagoner. Martin
Bush, Mrs. Mabelle Crawford Welpton,
Lena Ellsworth Dale, Vernon C. Dennett,
J. E. Carmal, Cecil W. Berryman, Mr.
Max liandow, Miss Mary Munchhotf, Mrs.
Louise Zabrtikte, Mr. Louis Bchnauber,
Miss Adah Klopp, Miss Alice Davis,
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Kelly and Miss
Bees. Mr. Henry Cox and Jean It.
Duffletd also appeared as assisting
artists with out-of-town recltallsts.
There have been a number of pupils' ru
cltals of unusual merit, und these uro con
tinuing even Into tho warm days of tho
coming month. There havo been In
lnnumerabln concerts upon tho programs
of hlch many well known local perform
ers have appeared, such as those given by
the Tuesday Musical club, the Music De
partment of tho Omaha Woman's club,
tho Musical club benefit concerts, etc.
Tho ono great concert even of the sea
son was the Mendelssohn Choir concerts
under Mr. Kelly, In conjunction with
the Chicago Symphony orchestra and
visiting soloists. Mr. Stanley und his
Festival choir have given sacred con
certs on Sunday uftcrnoons during the
winter, Mr. Hanry pox and the Omaha
Symphony Study orchestra gave their an
nual concert. Mr. Carnal and a chorus
of thirty presented Huydn'a ''Creation."
The Crelghton Glee club appeared with
visiting soloists. Mr. Th. Ilud Reese and
the German Choral societies have given
concerts, principally one with Marcus
oCellerman. as guest. Mr. Helgren and
f'Mle Swedish Singing society, assisted by
trie German societies, gave a concert re
cently, assisted by Kmlly Clove and A.
wehl. Mr. Potter and the Gibson Man
dolin orchestra, presented a program,
and a largo number of concerts have been
given by church choirs, such us the lm
manuel Lutheran, for the benefit of their
respective churches. Such sacred festi
vals as Thanksgiving, Christmas und
2Kaster have been celebrated by musical
,tervices at the churches, many of which
tjave been of high standard from a
musical point of view.
The organization of the Clef club Is
another important feature of the year.
The music department of the Woman's
club gave a. program devoted to the works
of Omaha composers, in which the com
positions of ten local musicians were pre
sented, and the Tuesday Musical enjoyed
the' best local artists for their recitals.
Thus we see how the local themo re
curred often, scored In many different
ways, sometimes rising to climaxes of
excellence and awakening even Mho In
different or Ignorant 'listener to a koener
sense, oC admiration. Sometimes, it has
not been so good, but these portions al
ways sound better piannlsslmo, and
counterbalance with the climaxes so as to
strike a very fair general average.
The visiting artist theme usually entered
after a- few preliminary notes by .some
local impresario, especially Miss Hopper.
Among the visiting soloists may be men
tioned Rnrlco Palmetto, Mme. Gadskl,
Katjierino Goodson, Franz Egenleff,
Melba, Kubcllk, Edmund Burke, Lucille
Stevenson, Mme. von Unschuld, Mme.
Ottlllo Metzger, Dorothea North, Alma

ductor, gave three concerts with the
Mendelssohn Choir, and brought us solo
ists Miss Inez Barbour, Miss Margaret
Keyes, Mr. Lambert Murphy, Mr. Henri
Scott, Mr. Harry Welsbacjrt and Mr.
Bruno Stetndl. Tho Minneapolis. Sym
phony Orchestra, Emll Obcrhoffcr, con
ductor, at Its single concert gave us the
opportunity of hearing Leonora Allen,
ttichare Czerwonky and Theodore Har
jrlson, as soloists. Omaha's two opera
experiences were unfortunate this year,
the lack of harmony In connection wlfh
the Canadian opera themo making ,lt im
possible to come to a cader.ee, and the
Chicago company coming to a peculiar
resolution In a major key minus the
tonic hut affording us tho chance to
hear Slgnor Campanlnl and to listen to
the art of Hector Dufranne, Alice Zepllll
and other celebrated singers In the cast.
Leonard Llebling', the editor of tho
Musical Courier, passed through tho
year's symphony Just a a short, unex
pected solo sometimes happens In an
unusual Instrument, principally notable
for. the cadenza upon - certain local
themes..
Upon the whole tho music of the. year
his been of high quality, the visiting ar
tists well worth the hearing, many of
them ranking In the forefront of their
special lino of expression.

tho close, so with this number the writer
will wipe and lay away her figurative
pen, or more literally stop practicing
stnecato, thirty-second notes upon the
typewriter and begin her summer vaca
tion. Soon the studios will be closing, and
musician and music-lover alike will be
much mom interested in the music of
tho summer breeze or the trickling brook
than in the high notes of illustrious
tenors or tho planisslmos of skillful
pianists. Plans ure ready of foot for
more and even better things In a musical
line next season, both locally and from
outside talent, although we shall miss
Mr. Landow greatly '"from our musical
lite. Others may succeed him, but no one
can take his place. Ho has done much
to raise musical' standards In our city,
and his Influcnco has been felt In muslo
generally us well as In the line of piano
playing. . .
A short time ago tho writer met a most
Interesting cosmopolitan gentleman oy
tho name of George von Relnolts, at a
small evening gathering. He is the pos
sessor of a most unusual baes voice, sing
ing a double G with tho utmost eme.
making It u perfectly good tone. For u
mere parlor trick he sang "Rocked In
tho Cradle of the Deep" an octave lower
than written, and sang It In a muslclanly
way, too. Although he did not show them,
friends said that ho had several letters
from the late Lillian Nordlca, written
several years ago, urging him to pursuo
a musical career, ns he had a volco which
should not be lost to the public. He was
In the original cast of the "Pirates of
Penzance," which Gilbert & Sullivan pro
duced in America in order to protect their
copyright. Ho created tho role, of tho
Sergeant In this opera, not becauso iio
was originally cust for it, but through
one of those unforeseen circumstances
which happen at the last minute. The
opening night arrived, and this being his
first appearance, the more seasoned sing
ers kindly told him all of tho joys of
stage fright. Ho determined not to hava
It, and the first act passed off without
mishap. In the second, the Sergeunt and
a body of police received some advice and
admonition from ono of the beautiful
young ladles, contrary to their orders,
after which she exits. No sooner; had the
da'nty maid left the stage than stago
fright struck him. Not a word could he
remember. Ho looked down at the front
and there ho saw Sir Arthur Sullivan con
ducting and looking at him which big,,
black eyes, which grow larger and larger
until they rcsentbled 'saucers. He saw th-j
enormous audience, and felt how little
they looked and how big ho seemed there
on the stage before them. He looked at
the gallery, Oft stage, at his boots, and
wished the floor would swallow him.
Prompters wcro calling his lines to him,
but not ono word could he hear of what
they said. He was in & cold perspiration,
and lived hours In a few minutes. - At
this point tho audience began to laugh,
and then to applaud, under cover of
which the soldier nearest to him called
put, "This Is most perplexing," He In
stantly remembered and finished the act.
No sooner was it over than he found
Qllbert waiting for him, Gilbert was a
hard stage manager, and wrongdoer
fared badly. Von Relnolts' heart sank.
Gilbert put his arm on his shoulder and
led him aside. "How did you ever happen
to think of It?" he asked. Von Relnolts
looked at htm in amazement. "Think of
what?" Not wishing to expose Ignor
ance he answered, "Oh, It Just kind of
came to' me all at once. "That was a
great plpce of stage business," said Gil
bert, "we'll do It every night." It was
not until after' the' remarkable success
of ihe, opera, and von Relnolts found
hlmsen uione in me seclusion oi ins
room in the early morning hours' that
he figured out how hla stage fright com
Inff'liist when It did, and made one of
the big hits of the play, ahd won tor
him credit for a, cleverness In stage bus!-
ness which he neither expected nor (in
this -case) deserved,
The writer, in some unaccountable way,
partly owing to an abundance of outside
demands this week, became mixed In her
engagements, and as a result missed two
musical treats. ' One was the organ and
iolln ' recital by Mrs. Louise Zabrlskle
and Louis. gehnauber, the other was the
concert given by the Swedish Singing so
ciety, assisted by the German, socltles,
The writer knows the work of both Mrs
Zabtiskle and Mr. Schnauber, and con
siders Mrs. ZabrUkie as one of the best
women musicians in -the city. She Is not
only an organist of technical ability, but
the uses excellent judgment In registra
tion, and her use of stops or their com
binations Is Invariably in good taste. She

UY BATES POST will com
mence a three days' engage
ment Thursday, Juno 4, with
a matinee Saturday, at the
Brandels theator, in tho spec
tacular Persian love play,
"Omar, tho Tentmaker." This attraction
comes direct from Broadway, where it
has run tho entire season, OBtabllshlng a
record as tho greatest drnmntlo success
of tho year. The entire original produc
tion and cast will be brought to this city
Intact.
"Omar, the Tentmaker" Is by Richard
Walton Tully, based upon tho life, times
and "Rubalynt" of Omar. Khayyam, tho
famous Persian poet and mystic of the
eleventh century. Plctorlally nothing finer
has ever been achieved upon the American
stage than tho succession of sumptuous
settings that constltuto the background
for the pluy. These settings were de
signed jointly by Mr. Tully and Wilfred
Buckland, who for ten years was art
director with David Belaeco during the
latter's period of greatest activity. Espe
cially effective Is the roso-bowcred gar
den with Its intricate and realistic sunset
and moonlight displays, and It is in this
scene that many of tho most lyrical love
passages of the play transpire.
"Omar, the Tentmaker" Is first and
foremost an entrancing romance. Not
only Is particular atentlon paid to the
engrossing love-life of Omar himself, but
as much of the action transpires during
tho poet's mature manhood, the sweet
love story qf Omar's daughter, tho Little'
Shlreen, Is also Included with telling ef
fectiveness, For tho rest, Mr. Tully has
Infused tremendpus dramatic Interest, for
the action embraces thrilling escapes,
quick deaths, mighty passions and all thu
other big human qualities that are dear
to every theater-goer.
The acting of Guy Bates Post as the
genial and lovable Omar has aroused tho
utmost enthusiasm and more than one
dfscernlng critic has declared that his
superb characterization firmly establishes
Mr. Post as the foremost exponent Of
romantic roles iipon the English speaking
stage. The company nearly numbers 100.
including ' Fred Eric, Jane Salisbury,
Louise Grassier, John Hunter Booth and
all the other Broadway favorites who
contributed to the metropolitan success
of the play.
Salvatpre Clrrlllo and his concert band
of sixty talented musicians will give a
single concert at tho Brandels theater
on next Tuesday evening. This organiza
tion is ono of tho foremost bands in
America today and having played en
gagements at the parks in past sum
mers, It is well known to local muslo
lovers. Clrrlllo and his band are on their
way to the Paclflo coast, where they
have the entire summer booked in tho
larger cities. For the engagement here i
popular scale of prices has been arranged
so that all may hear this concert.
The third in the series at tho Gayety's
weekly display of famous feature photo
plays" will be Charles Dickens' ''David
Copperfleld," the picture version of that
story recently produced by tho Hepworth
company of London. The picture Is in
seven parts, beginning with the child
hood' life of David at tho Rookery,
Blunderstone, and depicting the more Im
portant Incidents up to the time of his
marriage with Agnes, terminating with
the Yuletlde dinner, Bits of comedy oc
cur now ana men to enliven tho aiene
and there is a thrill In the wreck scene
where Steerforth loses his life and Ham
is killed In a brave attempt to save him,
Accurate to Its minute detail is this
beautiful production, Where It has been
possible there has been utilized those
Identical spots of which Dickens wrote
EnglLsh highway and byway, the stage
coach of yesterday, the Dickens' home'
stead, the home of Steerforth, the Salem
school, tho Peggoty boat at Yarmouth,
Canterburry, cliff of Dover all the
quaint old spots which still remain liavo
been sought out and used. Photographl
ally, the film Is perfection, its quality
