4 r, TILE OMAHA SUNDAY HKfci: APlilL 18, 1U15. Soloists for the Mendelssohn Choir's Coming Concerts m .T I related of a famoua Euro pean conductor of a jrenera tlon ago, that on one oerealnn he waa luromonM to the court box to receive, an he thought, a special compliment on hie Wonderful work. But the monarch rather disappointed the conductor bv remark In: "I have een conductor In many realms.. I have watched them asiilnoualv. I have heard their work and I am com pelled to admit Herr . that I have pen none peraplre an freely aa you do." When Theodore Thomaa. the srreat master of the orchestra, took up lilt baton In public concerts, ome. . people nerd to conilder hla conducting rather eold becauae he did not "peraptro freely," becuee he did not Indulge In weeping heat to the "brBaaea, becauae he dll not ito through the motion of our mod ern bandmaster, becauae he did not act a a "prlma-donna conductor." Hla ef fct were produced at the rehearaala. There h worked Intenae.ly, ardently and with hotieat ' sweat." Hut when he came to the concert, that work waa done, and he ateppod aside, an It were, ao that nothing could Interfere In the way of phratcal pereonallty betwern the com poaer and the audience. Teoplo went away from the concert, talking, not about Thomaa, but about the Symphony! Thla la aa It ahould be. "Summa Are, Tela re Artem!" waa aver the motto of the great artiats. The highest form of art la to conceal the art. In other worda. Get your effect at rehearsal and don't ahow off." W hen the mantle of Mr. Theodore Thomaa descended upon Mr. Frederick Block the "virtue" camo with It. Mr. Stork la one of the moat active, enthua lastlc, virile and commanding men at a, rehearsal; but In the concert he la quiet and reacrved, unobtrualve and undemon atrative. The work ha been thoroughly done at rehearsal, and a look, a glance, a slight movement of tha hand. Indicate l to the olayera a volume of meaning. An I artlat ahould not have to atand before hla picture, pointing out lta merit; If It la a work of art It ahould apeak for Itaelf. Herein Ilea Mr. Mock's strength aa a conductor; he make tha art-picture, the musical tone-poem, speak for Itaelf. Hecaua he doea not beckon to the "wood wind!." "whisper to the trlnga," "chal lenge the brae," and defy the drum and cymbal, me have fancied, him "cold." Tha ahould aee him at a rehearsal. Hto U can do more with hla men through hi ree, than moat conductor can with their whole bodloa. Therein lie hi atrength. He la recognlaed by the beat authorities a one of tha few really great ore mitral conductor of the day. a-" ? i - in J lienor ar.i tenor who are great ara very carce. Of Mla Maraaret Keyes. the contralto, nothing can be aald In addition to tie euloeW-a which were heaped upon her by al! the local critic after her superb work at laat year' concert with the Mendelssohn choir and Chicago Sym phony orrheetra. Aa one critic remarked: "She came here with an eastern reputa tion; she left here with a genuine weatern one. aa apontaneoua and aincere a It could possibly le." Mis Margaret Keyc waa one of the surprises of the whole five-year series of concert, and no con tralto who has ever visited Omaha ha been accorded a better reception or haa convinced the people with her elncerity. her art and her geniua any more than haa Mis Margaret Keye. Mr. Kruno Ftelndet, the ever popular violoncellist, who la the eolo attraction of the afternoon concert, Tuesday, April 27. need no eulogy here.

It I pea reel y credible, that he haa never before sung In Omaha, Tha Mendelssohn choir of Omaha and It conductor, Thomaa J. Kelly, feel with the Chicago Symphony orchestra, that In presenting Mr. Wltherspoon to local muslu lover for the first time, they are doing a good work for the American musician, aa well tM giving to the local musical people an opportunity never hitherto within their reach. One of Xh always prominent feature of tha Mendeleaahn choir aprlrul concert with tha Chicago Symphony orcheatra, and one which demand managerial enter prise and knowledge, la to be found In the clasa of aclolate offered at theea con carta.

And after than training aha discovered that sh had a voice. Her rruslianahlp through her ptanlrtlc train Ing haa placed her In a moat enviable position, as bo many singers lack thla equipment.

It all deprnd on what you use. There la a formula which anllpaea any preparation known for beau tifying the akin, lta reaults are extraor dinary. I advise every woman to atop using all other akin-beautylng creama anil uae thla formula. 8lmnly mix one table apoonful of glycerine in a pint of water and add one ounce of xintune. Thla forms a cream, uae it liberally and verv a Ton your akin will take on a most decided eiearnesa and purltv, and every muddy a pot. red spot, freckle and blemish will have disappeared. Thla formula ahould mean a fortune to the woman who uses It. The stntoraj can be aecured at any drug store at a moderate price. MRS. OPIB F. There la a wrinkle-removing formula which has the peculiar property of making tha akin plump and aigoreua. This la the only way In which all wrinkles, doui nine ana can ever be auccessfully removed. The youthful appearance produced In a abort time by the use of this formula la really atart llnr. Mix this at home by adding to a half pint of hot water two tablenpoonfula of glycerine and two ounces of eptol. Thla makea half a pint of the cream, oodting several times less than you would have to pay for. a cream at the stores, and which would not be successful. Any drug store will supply you with the entol. By ualng the cream faithfully, and liber ally, you will have attained in short order your fondest wish for a perfect, quick wrtnkle-eradicator. ROSA B. O. The only way to remove dandruff is to dissolve It. Soap cannot do It. simply because of the alkali which It' contains. No amount of scalp-scrubbing with soap will remove dandruff. The only thing known which will dissolve all fatty accumulations and dandruff la eggol, a. teespoonful of which added to a cup of hot water removes ' every particle of dandruff and other foreign natter. The lather la exceptionally rich. For a mod erate price you can get enough eggol to produce twelve or more of theae sur passing head waahea.

My secretary will see that you get It, if you will write addressing "Secretary to Voleaka Burratt, Thompson Bldg., Chi cago," and enclosing the price, 60 cents. a MRS. O. O. N. Blackheads are simply a local trouble and blood tonlce will do no srood. It la not generally known that blackheads may be thoroughly removed In a few minutes by getting a sponge, wetting It with hot water, sprinkling aome powdered neroxln on It, and then rubbing It on the blackheads. It Is sl most magic In result and every black head will disappear. Do thla every dav and you wn not be troubled further. It work equate well In very severe cases. s SARAH M. H.-I do not wonder that you did not succeed In removing the superfluous hairs you mention. Why not dissolve them away Instead of burning them off? By moistening the hairs with simple aulfo solution, every hair, heavy and lifrht. disappears In a few moments. Instead of leaving a red spot where ap plied as other depilatories do, the skin, on the contrary, is luft soft, smooth and clear.
