THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 23, 1919. IS B TV1 U S I G By HENRIETTA M. REES. THERE it a big week ahead of us musically this week. Other opera companies may flirt with us from time to time, but it takes the San Carlo company to be constant and true. Each year it pays us a visit. Each year v the company is improved, either by the addition of some new stars, a larger chorus, new scenery or other inter esting detail. The company has been playing to record houses in the west and it made a distinct success in Los Angeles, playing to a total of $41,01)0. The change from the Auditorium to the Boyd theater this year will make a more intimate feel ing between the company and the audience than was possible in the larger hall. The operas to be pre sented are found in another place in this paper. They are mostly well known operas in Omaha with the exception of "Martha," Satur day afternoon. In the hands of the San Carlo, and under the direction of Mr. Gallo, these operas cannot fail to have a musical and interest ing presentation. I've got an idea. Now don't waste time being amazed or congratu lating me or wondering how on earth it could have happened, or where I got it but read on and see what you think of it. ' There is a lot o talk going on about the Municipal auditorium. It is not exactly a civic triumph as it is, and the talk is about either fixing it up or getting a new one. Let us do one or the other, but if we are going to half-build another auditorium and leave our city strewn with half-finished public buildings let us not try to begin on a new one but go on and finish the first one. However, that is another mat ter, not to be discussed at present. ' While we are at it, whatever we do, let us raise from $80,000 to $100, 000 more, and install in it a wonder ful pipe organ! Why not? Let tis look for a minute at Denver. Den ver last year installed -'n the Munici pal auditorium an $80,000 pipe or ganl ' l.ie Municipal auditorium at iJen ver by the way, is a remarks ble building which can be converted in an hour from a, beautiful theater seating 3.000, people to a great con cert halt accommodating; 10,000 This-organ has all conceivable at tachments, a grand piano, xylophone, .chimes, glockenspiel, whistles, drums, four vox humana stops, etc., over and above a wide variety of diapa son, flute and reed stops. , 1 1 is equipped to ravish the soul of the musical and the tin- .usical' alike. It can be used in connection with any convention which visits Denver, and more than that it provides for muni cipal concerts the year round. And this great organ with all its variety of effect and with a volume great er than that of a great orchestra, only requires one man to play it. Denver has a municipal organist at the salary of $7,000 a year. Or gan recitals are given in the winter jto alternate with band concerts held in the parks in the summer. Just (the other day I read an article stat ing 'that Denver had appointed a music commission, the first city in the conutrv "to do this. Also that over 7,000 (people heard the great French organist Bonnet ' in recital ou this organ. i Omaha has had a taste of what it means to have a fine organ in the city since the many organ recitals which have been so generously given at the First Presbyterian church upon the Millard "memorial organ installed there. In spite of the series of recitals given by Mrs. Zabriskie last year, and those of two visiting organists, interest in these recitals continues, and the church, always finds it necessary to add ex tra chairs to accommodate the audi tors, i Let us look again at Denver. How did Denver manage to get this won- urwui orKau. which luuuuucs iu draw crowds, to its moderate-priced recitals?

Then he went out of office and the contract was cancelled. Later, when he was re elected, he again took up the mat ter. Public-spirited citizens, realiz ing the value of such an organ to the city, raised $20,000. At this point the Denver Rotary club step ped in, and you know the rest. They do say that a Rotary club is a fine organisation, on it gets started. If Denver is interested in music and the fine arts (or, strictly speak ing, architecture), why not Omaha? Omaha people are inclined to think of Denver as more wild and woolly than we are. It may be more wild, but unless Omaha shows more signs of interest in art than it has in the past we will be convinced that Denver' is not half as woolly. Omaha is a fine city, rich and prosperous. Interest in and sup port of not just good, but genuinely fine music, presupposes commercial prosperity, and it is an exce'lent ad vertisement for our city. While everyone is suggesting memorials for the soldiers, why not suggest the pipe organ as one, too? Music bring. a comfort, an uplift and a soiritualitv at times which the snnk- en word or the silent tablet cannot . equal. With a fine -finished auditor ium and a great marvelous pipe or gan in it, what unconquered fields is before us. ' . 111, . I, T rrom Musical America : los Atgeles, Cal., March 4. Mrs. Luella Hatinan of Detroit announces that she will build a temple of music in Detroit in memory of her husband. She expects to spend about $2,500, 000 for the building and equipment of such a temple and the establish ment of a fund that will serve as a guarantee for bringing great artists and symphony orchestras to that fortunate city to be heard by the people .at nominal sums.- Mr. Han nan was born in Rochester, N. Y., worked his way through the Oberlin (Ohio) college and the University of Michigan, later marrying Luella Besman of Ann Arbor,' Mich., who now is to erect this memorial to him. Mr. Hannan made his money in Detroit real estate and left instruc tions to his wife to use a good por tion of his wealth for some benefit to the people of his city. As he was much interested in music, Mrs. Han nan has chosen tins form of practical benefit. She has chosen as. a board of trus tees to handle the fund the follow ing prominent men of Detroit? Flavius L. Brooke of the Michigan supreme court, Judge William L. Carpenter, Matthew Slush, traction magnate; Ralph L. Polk, publisher, and Mrs. Hannan herself. Mrs. Hannan will leave Los An geles for Detroit shortly, where she will consult as to building plans for this temple of music, .which is to contain an auditorium seating 5,000 persons. Certainly Detroit is in luck. ;,'. The Pavley-Oukrainsky company of famous Russian dancers, accom panied by the - Little Symphony orchestra, will appear at the Bran deis theater for one performance only, Thursday afternoon, April 3. This organization appeared at the iirandeis theater two seasons ago under the auspices of the Tuesday Musical club and scored an artistic and financial triumph. The Grinnell -College Glee club will give a concert in Omaha at the First Central Congregational church Wednesday evening, March 26. at 8:15 o'clock. 1 This concert will be given under the auspices of the Ladies' society of the church, and it is to raise money for the building fund of the church. This is the twenty-fifth season of the Glee club. It holds a unique position among similar clubs in the west During its many seasons it has appeared suc cessfully in concerts from Chicago to the Pacific,1 and at present ranks among the very foremost amateur organizations which attempt a ser ious study of an artistic presenta tion of the best music. Prof. E. D. Peck, instructor of violin at Grin nell college, has been director of the club for the past twelve years, and has been largely instrumental in bringing the Glee club up to its present "-degree of efficiency. The club roster is: ,, First tenor: Carl Sampson, '19; Leo Underwood, '19; Bodine Higley, '22; Palmer H. Hedges, '22; Hall Clovis, '22. Second tenor: Oscar M. Caleson, '19; Royal Duckworth, '19; Jack Heath, '19; Arnold Ward, '20. Baritone: Frederick T. Parker, '20; Carl Johnson, '22; Ward Hartman, '21; Martin E. Ramsey, '20; Roscoe Taylor, '20.

Ly man, manager; J. R. Heath, traveling manager. Ysaye, who is now conducting the Cincinnati orchestra, was at the out break of the war near Zoote in Bel gium, where he had just completed decorating a villa which had been built for him. His family were with him, and all fled when the German terror burst upon them. Ysaye left behind him 14 trunks. These con tained many personal belongings, one almost entirely filled with manu scripts, among them six symphonies, violin pieces, concertos, etc He has recently learned that 10 of his trunks have been found in a demol ished house, but that all were empty. The compositions of his own which Ysaye plays at his recitals were be ing printed in Germany. At the out break of the war the proofs of these happened to be in London. How, Mr. Finck of the New York Post wonders, will the Germans ever be able to pay idemnityv for these things, no matter how much they have to pay? ' Josef Hoffman recently gave a recital of all American compositions at Carnegie hall before an audience which was so large that some of it occupied the stage. Among the numbers mentioned for their merit vere a Sonata by Alexander Mc Fadyen of Milwaukee, and a num ber of smaller numbers including "A movement from Rubin Gold mark's "Twilight Fantasies" entitled "Restless, Ceaseless." "Interlude" by Edward Royce; "Romance," Ed ward Royce; "Chimney Swallows," Scene from "Heart oj Humanity" hi ' mm TL Iter. X Lr v J f from "Country Pictures" by Daniel Gregory Mason, "Romance in D" by Reginald de Koven," "Valse Gracule" by Horatio Parker," "Birds atN Dawn by Fannie Dillon, and "Fireflies" by Mrs. H. A. Beach. Under the heading "Are Musicians Cranks," the Literary Digest quotes many remarks upon this subject from a recent editorial in the Musi cal Courier by Leonard Liebling. Two among the many pat remarks quoted are: loo many musical cranks firmly believe that there is a special halo for the man called to make music, but the great art is to be good at the chosen art or trade." "A man is on the safe side, however, when he gets the idea into his head that his business is of no more im portance to the world in general than, the other man's business. Too many musicians believe that it would be a tragedy for them to give up music and go into the shoe busi ness. But would it? Not if they could live with more comfort and give their children a better educa tion." , "Nine Musical Sketches for Piano," by Joseph Gahm, were re ceived at The Bee office this week. Mr. Gahm formerly lived in Omaha, where he taught piano, and he still has a large circle of friends here. The nine little sketches he has writ ten have been recently published by the Carl ' Fischer 1 company of New York. They should be of in terest to piano 'teachers for they are easy, graceful and designed for the young pianist. They present a variety of style and subject matter, and also offer opportunities . for careful phrasing and expression. "The Soldiers Are Coming," "Cra dle Song" and "Pastoral" are especially attractive. Other num bers are "Little Romance." "Frol ics," "Song of the Brook,',' "Roller Skating," "Stately Dance" and "The Race." Appogiaturas.

Don't you suppose that he is perhaps the twentieth century reincarnation -of the god Pan? In a recent lecture at the Cincin nati Conservatory, Thomas Kelly, formerly of Omaha, said that Watch Your Speech," should be the slogan of singers. And now that the Brandeis thea ter has a suitable concert setting, it has been suggested that the Y. W. f. A. buy a coat of paint for that terrific looking back wall in their auditorium.
