Omaha Musicians Who' Have Made
Good as Teachers and Performers
Mm. Mlllln Rrii.
Mrs. Millie Ryan, one of Omitha'i most
uocFSiul leai'r.ers. has returned from
ier New York Rummer studio. Mrs. RyHn
Clulnis that iiniuha harf produced mora
musicians than any rlty of Its tue In this
country. One hundred and stxty-eitcht
lupils from Mrs. Hyan'a studio alone
have "mailo Rood." some In graad opera
and la musical comedy unrtor the well
known managements of A born. FYasee.
Vhitney, llammerateln, Larky, Schubert
an, l Favago. tolo'sts In some of the I (Mul
ing churches of New York City, Huffalo,
H. Louis and Kunsna City are Omaha
people and from lira. Kyan's studios.
Nineteen teaofiers of voir culture who
are making a fcuc-eaa are Omaha products
and from Mrs. Hyan'a studios. The field
1 unlimited for the pupil with talent.
This summer one of Mrs. Kyan's pupils
managed the concerts on the steamship
America, one of the beautiful steamera on
the Great Lakes. Mrx. Ryan looks with
pride and pleasure at the strides the love
lor ST and opera in the west haa made
during the rast five years. The first
Omaha urnn.l onera study club organised
,lx years bko by Mrs. ityan nas aone
nueh to create an Interest In grand opera.
A good opera company now has no diffi
culty in drawing capacity houees In
Omaha, for un entire week'a run. This
was nn utter impossibility five years ago.
Jt will not be Ions before Omaha, like
the east nnd the foreign countries, will
look at tho grand opera performance as a
necessity. The old operas shouia ne
taught to the young generation Just as
their A. B. Cs. It la gratifying to see
them take up this study in the High
school this year. Interest In oratorio has
been on the wane for the last five years
and there are fewer oratorio societies
formed. In order to hold an audience, the
directors have found it necessary to cut
and slash to such an extent that you
seldom hear more than half the oratorio,
end It Is a pignif leant fact that the solo
ists with these organizations lnvrt-bI
slog a grand opera selection in their con
cert procrums. and the orchestra soloists
also give an opera selection.
The music department of the woman a
club will tiike up the study of the grand
operas nnd admission tickets will be
within the reach of all 8lc' P," '.i
number of the studios in the city are also
taking "P fie opera work. hIM, .
Mrs. Ryan has Just finished build In a
handsome residence studio. The audito
rium will sent the grand opera study jrlub
of eighty voices. Tho weekly pupil recital
will also bo held here. .
Mrs. Ryan will be pleased to meet her
pupils and Mends aternoowi between
