Echoes of Galli-Curci Concert.
Galli-Curci came, she sang, and the
captivated Omaha. (See critique of
Henrietta M. Rees, musical editor of
The Bee. A mere society editor's
supply of superlatives is inadequate.)
Society, attending in full force, sat
under her spell from the first flute
like "Caro mio ben;" thundered its
applause for the brilliant Bell song
from Lakme and called for curtain
after curtain at the close of the final
number, the mad scene from Lucia.
"For many years I treasured the
memory df 'The Last Rose of Sum
mer,' as- sung by Nordica. Galli
Curci's surpassed even that," spoke
a critical music lover. Her wonder
ful voice, her winning personality and
her charming old-world appearance
are indeed the chief topic of conver
sation today.
Madame uaui-Lurct appearea in a
rose-colored gown with rose-colorea
draperies, which enhanced the effect
of her dark, aquiline features. She
wore but few jewels, an emerald
neck ace and diamond ear pendants.
The gracious manner in which she
bowed her way oil the stage with an
extra smile for those who sat on the
stage, and playfully waved her hand'
kerchief at the audience when the ap-
plause was especially insistent, are
all characteristic ot ner own person
alifv.
When Berenguer, the flutist, at-
temDted to draw the hesitant pianist.
Homer Samuels, to respond to a cur
tain cal . Madame (jalli-turci made
as if to pull off her brocaded silver
slipper with which to cnastise tne
backward young musician. 10 Mrs.
C T. Samuels, the musician's mother,
who came from Minneapolis for the
concert to be the guest of an Omaha
friend, Mrs. Louis Kuyl, formerly
Helen Sadilek, Madame Galli-Curci
started to say in her broken English
some words of praise, but was halted
for want of words to express herself.
"Say it in German," begged the
mother, whereupon the gracious
singer complied. "I compliment you
for your splendid son ana tne nne ac
enmnanist he is to me." said she.
Galli-Curci loves to sing. "I could
sing two, three, four hours," she said.
"But oh, these trips, I cannot stand
them," speaking ot the tedious travei
inir on her tours. She is only 27,
quite young to have reached the top
rung of the ladder of fame.
After her husband had thrown her
wran about her shoulders, a wonder
ful American Beauty colored wrap,
embroidered with a huge butterfly of
colored stones, the like ot which has
not been worn in Omaha before, she
made some dubious little remark
ahnut her insufficient head-covering,
which was only a chiffon scarf wound
madonnalike about her head. With
a laughing gesture, her husband set
his own silk hat on her dark hair.
both of them enjoying this playtul
interlude immensely.
Her husband, who is a portrait
painter of note, distinctly looks the
part. He is of the same aquiline type
as she and wears a beard which sets
at naught that of our quondam presr
Hpntial candidate.
The Galli-Curcis accepted no social
invitations after the concert but de
parted on an early morning train for
the east.
Homer Samuels, who used to ac
eomoanv Emmv Destinn. made an
unsuccessful attempt to get the fa
mous singer through the uerman
lines recently with the aid of the
American consuls at Copenhagen and
Vienna. Destinn is. in Bohemia now,
practically an Aos'trian prisoner of
war, for the Austrians objected to the
Metropolitan opera singer taking out
her first papers for American natur
alization. While she is abroad she
has given the use of her beautiful
home on Riverside drive to Mr. Sam
uels and his friend, Wilfred, the Dan
ish flutist. Mr. Samuels' teacher,
Lhevine, the Russian pianist, ia a
prisoner of war in Berlin.
Mrs. J. Wagner Thomas, who went
over on the same boat with the Sam
uels four years ago, gave a luncheon
at the Blackstone for Mrs. Samuels
and her sister, Mrs. E. Jones, who
accompanied her to Omaha to hear
her nephew play.

NOTHING could be better for a tramp through the spring
woods or tussle with a rainy day than this suit of black
and white worsted tricked out in broad checks. Its high
collar is calculated to flout storms, and its smart pockets set
cozily between wide box plaits are capacious enough to act as neat
little "ruck-sacks" or carry-alls. Buttons of black trimmed in white
prepare one for the startling yet exceedingly smart buckle which
holds the wide belt. The box-plaited skirt offers cheer to the
Woman who dreads the attack of the barrel skirt. The chic little
hat of caterpillar straw carries two bronze green quills at just
the angles calculated to give dash and verve to the whole costume.
