4-n mMV51C 1 vr..' w V ,. HF.HRIF.TTA M. REEL J. HENDERSON wrote an ar ticle recently In the New York Sun Terr much to the point In reimrd to the vast number of mediocrities to be found In the musical world. He apeak W ef the critic who, ever hopeful, faithfully ro to concert irtven by people unknown, lwara on the lookout for what U rood, and for new artlrta who are able to make food opon the concert platform. He aald In part: "What they all too often dtaooTar I another mlarutded yonn woman or man who ha about the eame degree of talent for muato a him ninety or a hundred reraon In the audience hove and who very often cannot play a piano a well aa pupils la the adranoed claseet of local ooneerratorles or slnv as well as anme aocompIUhed amateur. In a single sea son a mualo critic may hear something like ninety concert sinners and 'sixty pianists, and setting aside the established tars the remainder will not furnish more than two or three aspirants of whom It can confidently be said that they will be heard In publlo three years hence. Most of them fade away Into silence and bitter disappointment... Hundreds toll through the dull years at the profitless business of teaching others what they could not do themselves. "Whence come all these strange appari tions of the local concert stage T. Why do they comeT Who tells them the cruel falsehood that they have the gifts and the accomplishments necessary to auo reea in a profession which has only a top and a bottom and no middle? In mutlo there Is no place for mediocrity. You are a auceee or a failure. That Is the end of It. Tou need not perhaps be Faderewskt, Bauer, Hofmann, Sembrlch or Krelsler, but you must be fit to walk Just behind their shoulders." Part of which goes to show that It la not enough Just to be good In a musical way. In our haste In mualo study we are too prone to say It Is good enough and leave the composition we are studying when It Is not nearly the best that we can do. If students would get the best habit in their earliest studies they would progress so much more rapidly later. And If, Instead of asking themselves if their work Is the best they can do, they would ask Instead If It is the best that It can possibly be done, they may meet more rocks In the early part of the game, more discouragements and seemingly Insur mountable obstacles, but It they overcome them and always stand for the best there Is, they will have smoother sailing In the later stages. If this kind of work Is done under the guidance of a good teacher and built upon a genuine musical talent, which under proper guidance Is developed to It utmost through years of patient diligence, then and then only will there be no cause for complaint among the severest ef critics. But It require be sides musical talent, and careful teach ing an' Indomitable spirit. Those among music lovers who are In terested In the' highest class of sacred mualo will find their way this afternoon at 4 o'clock to the sacred service at AU Saint church when the choir of AU Saints' church, J.

Naih of the Concert Committee. TO BE 170 REDUCED RATES "I thought w bad encountered all the possible difficulties when w were pre paring for the Boston Symphony Orches tra," said Mr. Louis Nash of th Charity Concert course committee a few days ago, "but it seams that many of them did not develop until after thia concert had taken place. "The first unpleasantness we had to reckon with was , the late arrival of a large portion of the audience, who were kept out In the entrance to th Audito rium, a these famous performer will not tolerate the disturbance of seating people during a concert number. I be lieve, however, that it wa a lesson to a lot of psople, and I only hop that svsry on will take warning for the Oeraldlne Farrar concert Tuesday evening. Novem ber U, a th concert will oommence promptly at 1:30, and not a person will be admitted Inside the Auditorium proper from 1:28 till after the first number Is finished. "Another thing. The advance sale for the Farrar concert Indicate that vast number are now convinced that they must buy early to got god seata. We pent nearly (3,000 advertising the Charity Concert course, and not one advertise ment appeared without the advice to se cure seats early. Some who failed to do o wer certainty disappointed on the occasion of the Boston Symphony Or chestra concert. The day following that concert one of th committee was called on by a prominent society woman who was perfectly Indignant that she had been assigned to seats way over on one id. 'I never before in my life wa treated like that I always have the beat seats In the theaters, and also In the Auditorium, and I waa very much an noyed.' 'When did you engage your aeats, madam T she was asked. 'I got them three day before th concert, and that ought to be far enough in advanoe for a house with the seating capacity of the Omaha Auditorium. And, anyway, regu lar concert-goer ought to be given pret-, erence.' When It was explained to her that for; th Boston Symphony we were compelled , to place five additional row in front of, th regular first row, and had only th . vary last two row left unsold, sh gasped I for breath and said: 'I never heard any I thing Ilka It I want to buy my Farrar! seaU richt now.' And shs did. Thl Is i only one of countless cases of disappoint-! ment in th seat location for that first! concert. But all were treated alike. Every order accompanied by check wa numbered and listed, and filled accord-' Ingly, And th aara procedure la being followed for Farrar. Attractions of the caliber of the Charity Concert course David Bispham At-thc y uoiramuM appear in a oity but seldom, and never before in Omaha in any one series, nor in any city In the country, at such rldic uolously cheap prices. This explains the six of the audiences. No Red need Seats. "A member of one of the large musloal clubs applied the other day for a reduced price to permit the club to attend In a body. Much a we regret being unable to favor muslcsl clubs, we have no seats to offer at a reduced price. Farrar, through her magnificent talent, her charming personality and her present fame as a moving picture star. Is today the most interesting operatlo prima donna In the world, and we will without doubt oversell the Auditorium again for her appearance, as the demand for sittings has been In accordance with her deserved fame. "Only today a teacher In one of the South Bide schools called me up to know If she could get twenty-one dollar seats In a row for the teachers In her school who wanted to make up a party. I told l.
