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

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.

David Bispham to Sing Under
City Auspices at Auditorium
The career of David Bispham, who will
appear at the Auditorium on Monday
night November , as Beethoven In the
one-act play, "Adelaide," in conjunction
with which Mr. Bispham and his com
pany will offer a miscellaneous concert
called "The Rehearsal" show what in
defatigable work and faith In self can
accomplish. Several well known masters
sought to dlssuads the singer from en
tering a professional career, but never
theless he went doggedly ahead, working,
practicing, until th4 sought-for end waa
accomplished. Today no American singer
has scored greater artistic success.
For ten successive seasons Mr. Bispham
waa a member of th Royal Opera com
pany, singing each summer at Covent
Garden, London, while for ecveral year
he wa a member of the Metropolitan
Opera company. New Tork. HI reper
toire Includes nearly fifty operetta roles
in English, French, Oerman and Italian.
He waa the first to sing the role of Fal
staff In England, where he appeared with
Verdi's original caste from La Scale,
Milan.
And Mr. Bispham is an actor no less
thnn a singer. As Beethoven in Hugo
Muller's powerful little play he I said
to offer a characterisation that Is both a
mental and a physical visualisation of
the great composer.
Supporting Mr. Bispham. whose tour Is
under the management of R. B. John
ston, are Mme. Marie Narella, met so;
Mlas Kathleen Coman, piano; Miss Idelle
Patterson, soprano; Mr. Henri Barron,
tenor, and Mr. Graham Harris, violin.
Mr. Blspham'a concert will be the sec
ond at the Auditorium under municipal
auspices and at popular prices.
DEMAND FOR FARRAR SEATS
First Come, Fint Barred, Sayi Mr.
Lonia C. 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.
