Starting Tuesday night with the organ recital of Mr. Zeuch at tne first Presbyterian church, following with the opportunity of hearing Lina Cavalieri and Lucien Muratore in re cital at the Auditorium, Wednesday, with another aeaion of opera, Galli Cruci and at least one local recital, the musical contingent will again be plunged into a sea of harmony, with hut scant time to rise to the surface for an occasional breath. The con certs this year have been not only numerous, but exceptionally nigh class, and the coming concerts, and opera company are maintaining the standard. Those of us who heard the Boston Opera company last year, re member the fine artists and ensemble, which thev maintained, and the little Japanese artist, who made such a Charming Madame t Butterfly. The most important event ot lasting worth to Omaha is the dedication of the new organ in the First Pres byterian church Tuesday evening. This organ will be, beyond doubt the finest which has ever' come to its home in Omaha, atid nothing ap oroachinE it is laid to be in any other cities nearer than Minneapolis and Chicago. Mr. Zeuch has a wide reputation as an organist and there are many music lovers who are an ticipating the dedicatory concert Mme. Amelita Galli Curcl the gifted coloratura-soprano, the sensa tion of the hour in international oper atic circles, will be heard at the Boyd theater on Tuesday evening, March 22, promptly at 8:15 o'clock, under the auspices of the Tuesday Morn ing Musical club. She has sung with most of the great artists of this gen eration in Europe and in South America.. J he critics ot the old world, as well ai those of the new, have been unsparing in their vocabu lary to depict her art. No greater tribute can be mentioned as proof of her linzins than that of the hyster ical Italian critic (dead now), Carru- gatt, who said, after hearing oalll Curcl: "She il the message of the Goddess of Song."

Melville Liszniewska, who con ducted the musical examinations last week at Brownell Hall in connection with her piano recital. Mme. Lisz niewika quoted lome renowned mu sician, whose name has slipped away for the moment, ai laying that child prodigies live on their capital, while grown artist! live on the interest of their capital. Isn't that well said? ' -w A ; A" nice letter received during the week from a talented young pianist of Swedish descent tells us that Emil Sjogren, whose sonata was played by Mrs. Zahriskie and Mrs. Wagoner at their recent recital, was a Swedish composer, instead of Norwegian, as we stated, and that he ranks with Tor Aulin, Hugo Alpoin, Wilhelm Stenhammer and other! ai one of the foremost composers ot Sweden today, Tor Aulin died quite recently. We are always glad to receive letteri of thii iort, for we are interested in oreient day composers and sometime! information about them is difficult to find. Two or three numbers by Tor Aulin have also been hearat in Omaha recently, and by their merit caused more than the musical editor to re A Haddorf f Piano in the Home ' Reflects refinement and culture.

This organization recently finished an engagement in Los An geles, attended by seven of the larg est audiences ever assembled in that city for operatic performances,' and at laat reporti wai repeating thii rec ord in San Francisco. It will pay short visits to Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Denver on the way east. The Omaha engagement is set for Tuesday and Wednesday, March 27 and 28, with a matinee March 28, at the Boyd theater. - "While thii organization has been warmly received and appreciated in the east, it greater success in the west il probably due to the fact that this part of the country hai not been surfeited," said Mr. Rabinoff. -"The presentations of grand opera and other music of the better sort seem to be less frequent and more evenly distributed throughout the year in the western than in eastern states." The schedule for the Omaha season includes Puccini's 'Tosca" Monday night, with Giovanni Zenatello, Luisa Villani, Ananian.

' This company appeared at the Au ditorium last April, and it was uni versally agreed that no more beauti ful opera had ever been heard in Omaha. Some complaint was made at that time because the finer effects and delicate shadings were lost in that immense expanse of the Audi torium, so when the company con tracted with Mr. Lucius Pryor this year they specified that the produc tion! must De given in a regular thpate-r. This will be the first time in nearly twenty years that one of the world's three greatest grand opera companies has allowed Umaha to near ana see their production with real metropoli tan aurroundines. in a nerfectly ap pointed opera house. The Boyd has no superior from the standpoint of acoustics, and the lover of grand opera will be able to hear, see and be comfortable at one and the same time. The, drawback from the money standpoint is that the Boyd has only about one-fourth the seating capacity of the Auditorium, 1 However, the management has not increased the nrii-n of seats over their former schedule, but by being . assured of practically selling out at, each per formance, and absolutely suspending the usual free list.- they expect to :pmbine artistic and financial success. LmAi tir tfiir muair.il work counted among their points for diplomas. This is the first year that credit for study in the music department of the school has been given, and both Mme.

MODEST little exhibition A I of paintings which has been "V I anticipated with interest tor many wccm 15 iiuw v11 view at the Whitmore gal lery. The exhibition in cludes twenty-eight landscapes in oil by Mr. Gilder, representing scenes for the most part in and around umatia. Mr. Gilder is a well known figure about Omaha; where he has lived and painted for more than twenty years. ' While actively employed on newspapers, he has found time to pur. sue his art, making frequent journeys into the woods and fields with his sketch box during the open season and painting furiously at home in in clement weather. ' . . -His landscapes are noted for their vigorous color, some of which are aa gay as a florist's window at Easter tide, for Mr. Gilder has been decidedly influenced by the work of impres sionist painters. In fact, he has been so thrilled by the brilliancy of. color ing in nature that he may be forgiven if he some times overlooks a number of other qualities. For after all color is one of the greatest cnarms in paint ing. Mr. Gilder seems to prefer the gay positive colors and the striking effects in nature. In his efforts to attainbril liancy perhaps he sometimes misses qualities essential to our highest en joyment, one of which would seem to be the Whistleresque quality of tone. Occasionally the observer feels the absence of the soft eye-caressing gray tones which do so much to sub due and harmonize the upstart colors, ana to increase inc cuctuvcucss ui the whole. For in nature, when a patch of scarlet sumach becomes too conspicuous, nattfre throws a bluish reflection from the sky over the ir ritant color which greatly modifies and improves the whole effect. From a distance Mr. Gilder's work is sur prisingly fresh and clean. The con trast between it and landscape work of a quarter of a century ago is over whelming. Mr. Gilder is a lover of the out-of-doors and his paintings ex press much of his boy-like enthusi asm for nature. He paints rapidly and industriously, producing a whole gallery full of.paintings in a single season. His subjects include broad stretches of river country, with glimpses of distant hills and cities, desert vistas, fields, pastures, woods and streams, sand dunes and roads in various ' conditions of light and season. " ' , Mr. Gilder is one of Omaha s few art assets and his work is deserving of serious consideration. The trouble involved in a visit to the little exhibi-. tion will be more than compensated for. None will leave the collection without carrying away lome decidedly wholesome impressions. Aside from his activities in litera ture and art Mr. Gilder has achieved a wide reputation as an archaeologist ..J AlBr,mr-ar nt nrh!stnr,r rilltlir aiiu ,i 1 j.. .in, v. . - - - in Nebraska, and the "Nebraska Loess Man," which is believed by manv to be one of the oldest of hu-; nian remains.

K. A. Ward, factory representative, in opening the Omaha branch has registered, six to his credit. Already branches have been opened in Cin cinnati, Pittsburgh, Fargo, Spokane, Portland, Me.; Albany and Buffalo. . The Omaha branch will be in charge of Mr. Pickering. , ; " Will Hetherington, violinist, and Miss Bertha Clark, pianist. Music-loving women and the music clubs which they are establishing in all sections of tho country are the mcst potent factors in American musical life, in the opinion of Arthur Sh attack, tho pianist. In the new and best forms of player-pianos, which re produce the interpretations of pianists, Mr. Shattuek sees a new and highly effective agent for musical education "Just as the talking machine aids sing ers hi tho study of voles." he said, "so these refined inventions aid young pianists in the study of their instrument. "The difficulty with getting the instru ments into private homes i their aspens. But American inventor have overcome mora serious difficulties than that, and If tby are one placed tn tho conservatories there ean be no doubt that they will ultimately be found In oven tho most humbl homes." This afternoon at !:$ o'clock a recital will be given by pupils of Floreno Baslsr- d by pupil of Mr. Brill, Mrs. Kittlewn aad Mr. Colvin. Friend and muie-)ovr are invited.
