If you war to vilit tht superb
Vocal Studio ot Otcir Saenger, in
New York City, Mr, Saenger would
no doubt be pleased to giv you in
struction! in higher grade vocal art
if your voice it promiiing and if you
are financially able to pay $25 per
'hour tuition fees.
JBut if you poiieii a Victor-Vic-trola,
Mr. Saenger'ibeit effort! need
cost you but $25.00 for a whole
course of lessons.
The management of Mickel'i Ne
braska Cycli Co., corner Fifteenth
and Harney streets. Omaha, and 334
Broadway, Council Bluffs, la., is
pleased to innounceUhat it has ready
for demonstration and sale the late
and novel Oscar Saenger-Victrola

The Oiear Saenger course consists
of ten double-faced Victor Records,
which provide! twenty lenoni in vo
calization. There il a separate let
for each of the following voices: So
prano, Metro-Soprano, Tenor, Bari
tone and Ban. In the Mezzo-Soprano
there are special instruction!
for the training 'of children! voices
With each let of record! for any of
the above voicei there il alio pro
vided a text book of supplementary
information for. the student, instruc
tions set forth so definitely and clear
ly that the art of singing may be
readily understood .; by those, who
have had no previous training. - -And,
just itoo - to think it la all
possible , through the marvelous
sound reproductive powers of a Vic
tor disc record. The one essential
requirement in vocalization Is that the
student shall learn to produce per
fect tones in the proper way., This;
the Oscar Saenger method, of course
accomplishes by direct Victrola de
monstrations; one actually hears the
music, the tone, the voice, the mod
ulation, the handling:, lust as It should
be interpreted and just a it il inter
preted by world renowned vocalists.
There is much to be said in favor
of this wonderful new method of
vocal training, but actual demonstra
tions will convey the idea far more
readily than an announcement like
this. Come to either of the Ne
braska Cycle Co', establishment!
and trained, profesiional experts will
be pleased to ihow you the exact
workings of the marvelous Oscar
- Saenger method. Those living out
of town may of course secure the
course and readily follow all require
ments, tor tne instructions given are

It,U safe to My that thousands of
aspiring singers will soon take up the
Oscar Saenger method of instruction'
it's the result of modernism and lim
ply had to come about.

USUAL, onenngi or tne
largest sort seem to be the
program for the rest of
the month of March.
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." Saint-Ajubain, the
Frenchman, who said: "There were

Mme. Melville Liszniewska, who con

; 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

Omaha Again to Hear Maggie Teyte
And Tamaki Miura in Grand Opera
Makers of school geographies, who
tell ui that a certain state is noted
for ' iti agriculture, and another for
its fisheries, might add. to their text
booki the statement that ' there is
greater patronage for grand opera
west than east of the Mississippi, ac
cording to a recent interview given
to a California newspaper man' by
Max Rabinoff, managing director of
the Boston National Grand Opera
company. 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. George, Baklanoff,
Virgilio Lazarn and others in the
cast, and with Roberto Moranzoni
conducting; Puccini'i "La Boheme"
for Tuesday night, with Maggie
Teyte, Riccardo Martin, Jose Mar
dones, Thomas Chalmers and Maria
Winietskaja in leading roles, and

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.

This is the first year that credit for
study in the music department of the
school has been given, and both Mme.

to have been gratified with, the result.

other branches was given.

Mr. Robert F. Gilder's Exhibition of
Landscapes. ; .
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

in Nebraska, and the "Nebraska

Opens Branch in Omaha
The Ajax Rubber company, ' Inc.,
have recently opened a branch on
Farnam street near Twentieth, which
is in line with their plan to open
branches in the larger cities through
out the country.
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
