THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 18, 1916,
mW5 1 CM
BY HENRIETTA M. REES.
HE musical column of, The
Bee with this issue comes
to its annual cadence and
closes for the summer. The
past season has been a
busy one, starting early and
closing late, with a sort ot
coda this week in the appearance
of the Swedish singers at tife Audi
torium. Soon musicians ana music
lovers alike will be turning to vaca
tional pursuits and environments, and
with the exception of a series of popular-priced
operatic concerts at the
Auditorium a little later, there is not
much promised ahead in the shape of
'musical entertainment. That is,, not
' until the opening of next season.
Even this far in advance plans have
not only been made but announced,
' while many others ari in the process
of completion. All signs point to a
brilliant musical season next year,
with world-famous - visiting artists,
more and surer encouragement of
local musical enterprises, and with an
ever-growing increase in musical in-
. terests generally. j,:." f ',.
At the first brief backward glance
every musical season that has just
passed seems just like every - other
one, a sort of movie recollection of
local and visiting soloists, large and
small audiences, marvelous interpre
tations, ordinary interpretations,
wonderful and amazing gowns, an oc
casional symphonic program, a fleet
ing period of opera, more concerts
and recitals, another orchestra, per
haps, a tew strains of choral music,
gradual tranquillity, a regular flower
garden of pupils' recitals, and the
end. This season, while con
forming in general outlines to'
those which have preceded it, differed
materially from them in many of its
important characteristics. It was
marked by a large number of asso
ciations which promoted the best mu
sical events rather than any individ
ual, principally organizations formed
for other purposes, who turned their
attention to music, and to bringing
tne tinest visiting artists before us.
: The Omaha Retailers' association.
with their wonderful concert course,
the Shriners with their second season
of grand opera, the city with its mu
nicipal auditorium, where musical
events of excellence were presented
from time to time, and the Tuesday
Morning Musical club, with its earn
ing concerts which were open to the
public ; . t ., .
. I .
Besides, the galaxy of artists pre
sented py tnese associations, there
was Julia Claussen, presented by the
luciiuciBsonn inoir; miscna .iman
at the Brandeis, Miss Nash and the
New York Philharmonic, and the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, and
last, but not least, the Boston Grand
Opera company with Pavlowa and
orchestra, under the local manage
ment of Mr. Pryor. This may not
oe all as 1 am quoting trom memory,
' The results of all these different ac
tivities were manifold. A musical sea
son of widest possible diversity of
musical ottering, many ot tne worlds
greatest singers, pianists and violin
ists, orchestras and operatic stars ao
peared before us. Never In the past
had we had the opportunity of sit
ting at the feet of so many great
ones in one musical season. We heard
-the best and it is not their fault if
we did not listen and profit by what
they gave. Never before have we had
the chance to hear music of so many
different kinds or through so many
different mediums as nearly , M it
hoifld be. It has been a great season
for students to glimpse the goal for
wnicn tney snouid be aiming.
. A--
Another result was fewer recitals
than is customary, and, the best and
most successful of these were for the
most part given under the auspices of
uiiit; i.iuu wf urbanization, crave,
indeed, is the local artist who, if he
is able to find a suitable date, will
take the chance of drawing a house
in the midst of so many Important
visiting concerts, when evervone is
spending money to hear some star
who is world-fa mo ft and only comes
to town once -in several years, while
me local artists, like the poor (the
woras are sometimes synonymous)
are always with them and have been
heard once or probably can be heard
at some other tim- .
A greater interest In musics gen
erally will eventually react upon- lo
ta, music, ana wnen people turn their
attention seriously to music they soon
look about to see what they have
near mem to lurther their interest.
Although a great many outside con
certs detract from local recital work
a more general interest incites tn
study and the result cannot but be of
Dcijcui 10 an concerned.

It will be as Ladv Babbie in T. M
Barrie's comedv. "The Little Minis
ter," that Maude Adams will be seen
at the Brandeis on Tuesdav and
Wednesday and Wednesday after-
nuuu. xi is as iaay rjaDDie mat tne
little actress made her first bow as
a star and entered on a career that
has had no parallel on the American
stage. To many people the actress
will always remain identified with
"The Little Minister." The play is
in four acts and five scenes. -There
is a wealth of comedy in the work
and Mr. Barrie takes many a sly dig
at the peculiarities of the Scotch that
he as a Scotchman knows so well.
It is all in the best of humor. Hie
characters are capitally drawn. It is
something worth while to know Lady
Babbie. Her portrait hangs in the
gallery of delightful and charming
heroines, tor she is intensely human
and consistent as well as original.
Miss Adams will be found surrounded
by a company of much artistic ex
cellence, ihe performance of The
Little Minister" will probably be the
last that Miss Adams will give in
some time, as next season she is to
make known Mr. Barrie's new. com
edy. The four acts of the comedy
are handsomely staged. .

-5,000 Spectators See "SAXON
SIX" win Against mgherPnced
Cars at Sari: Diego Exposition
-. ' . . ' ' - ,
Before 5,000 enthusiastic spectators, a stock Saxon Six captured
two firsts and a third place, and won the most points in the dem
onstration contest just held at the San Diego Exposition Motor
Demonstration Show. Exceeded in both power and number of
cylinders by higher-priced entries, the Saxon was the only car
which won the trophy in two events, y
The performance of the Saxon was so convincing that a specta
tor bought and paid for the victorious Six on the Exposition
Grounds, and without waiting to get it.cleaned up, drove the.
winning car home. , ' .
The hill climb, which' the Saxon won, was one of the most gruelling ever,
staged to test motor cars. Contestants in this event were required to drive
down the fifty-five per cent grade of Exposition hill and up the thirty-five per
cent pitch. Then, the drivers were obliged to turn around arid reverse the
order of descending and climbing. The Saxon not only made the, best time,
but was one of the few cars able to reach the top of the fifty-five per cent
grade. : " .
Mora expensive cars' were defeated by the Saxon in the relay race. The Saxon
romped around the track in fait time, winning the award of the judges, the applause
of the assembly and five additional points.
Then, just to demonstrate its flexibility in the quick "get-away" the Saxon won an
even break with a higher-priced machine for third. . ;
Probably no stock car has ever given a better demonstration than the Saxon gave
at the San Diego Exposition. First in the hill-climbing, proving ample power;
first in the relay, showing high speed, and third in the quick "get-away," complet
ing the remarkable showing of the car.
The above is an Associated Press report of the San Diego Exposition, and
