THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 31, 1920.
MUSIC
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
THE preliminary announcement
of the fifty-fourth annual ses
sion of the Nebraska State
Teachers association is out and con
tains two programs of interest to
the musical colony. One of these is
the recital by Mary Jordan, cele
brated American contralto, which is
- provided by the bureau of publicity
of the Chamber f Commerce, Fri
day evening, complimentary to the
association. The other is the un
usual and attractive program of the
music section, of whi'di Miss Juliet
McCune of Omaha irf president.
This will take place on Thursday
afternoon, November 4. at the Y. VV.
C A. nditorium. The excellent
work of Miss McCune is well known,
hut not nearly as well known by
' many as it should be.
The program for this meeting is
v dt v wed into two sections; the hrst
Dart will include a practical ulustra
tion of the singing which is being
done in the advanced grades of the
city and in the high schools. A
' choral ballad, "The Walrus and the
t Carpenter, will be presented by
rnsic pupils of the seventh and
eighth grades of the Dundee school,
Miss Elizabeth Hutchinson, teacher,
and the Boys' and Girls' Glee clubs
of Central High school will be pre
sen ted in a group of songs under
the direction of Carol Marhoff Pitts,
teacher. A soprano solo by Miss
' Helen Nightingale of South Side
; High and community singing will
,; also be included. The wider use of
good records toward musical appre'
' nation will be demonstrated by
" Miss Windhorst. The second part
the program will contain discus
sion' Upon the following vital sub
jects: "How Much Music Credit
Shall Be Expected of Pupils Gradu
ating from High Schools?" will be
presented by Mr. Marrs. principal of
South High school: "The Responsi
bility of the Supervisor in Helping
to Increase the Efficiency of the
Grade Teacher in Her Lessons" will
,be the subject of Mr. Charles Fou
ser of Wayne Nqrmal school "Suc
, cess of Free Instruction of Instru
mental Music in the Grades" will be
. discussed by Charles B. Righter. jr.,
of Lincoln; Etta Young of Lothrop
ehool will talk of "To What Extent
Shall Popular Music Be Taught in
Our Schools?" Mr. H. O. Fergu--.
sen of Lincoln will present "The
1 , . New Normal Training Course in
. Poblic School Music," and Mrs.
t Grace Stedman of Kearney wilt an
swer Mr. Ferguson.
The subjects of these papers in
, elude much which is of as great in-
terest to the professional music
teacher as it is to the music super
t visors. There is nothing which, so
broadens one's field of vision as a
glimpse of a different point of view,
and it is a self-evident fact that
greater co-operation between the
professional music teachers and the
music supervisors would do much
to add impetus to the advancement
ol music study among children of
school age. The excellent program
of the music section last year stands
otit in my memory as 'one of the in
teresting events of the season, and
it was to be regretted that more of
the professional musicians of the city
'were not privileged to hear it. The
"" ' Ideal musical people should avail
themselves of this fine opportunity
f to know what is being accomplished
in music through the public schools
, throughout the state, and also what
is being done in the way of singing
by pupils, of our own public schools.
In fact, it would be safe to say that
music teachers cannot afford to
iniss this program.
Memberships in the Nebraska
State Teachers' association may be
( had for $1.50, which permits attend
ance at any or all sessions of the
convention. It would undoubtedly
mean much in the way of encourage
ment to the musical supervisors to
know that the professional musi
ciant are Jnerested in the work
which they are doing, and it would
also mean much to the music teach
ers themselves to know more of this
great work which is being carried
on in music through the . public

Most of the leading churches in
the city will have special music on
Sunday, November 7, at the morn
ing or evenine service. This is one
of the activities' of the local chapter
of the American Guild of Organists,
which is a branch of the national
organization, whose aim it is to
stimulate and promote the best in
choir music in connection with
church services. The ministers are
heartily in accord with the plan,
and in many of the churches will
co-operate with appropriate recog
nition of the share music has in
practical religion.
It has been said that there is no
large country where the innate sense
of beauty has been developed so lit
tle and has been so poorly nour
ished as in the-United States. And
there is no way which so forcibly
drives home a truth as when it is
touched with a ray of beauty. The
churches cannot do without music
any more than they can do without
the minister, and it is in tne nappiest
co-operation of these two forces in
religion which makes the church
service a worthy power in the lives
of the oeoole. The programs for
the. services of'November 7 will be
announced next Sunday". Many
strictly choral services will be given,
while others will be enriched by spe
cial anthems and organ numbers.
This is the first time that this unique
scheme of sDecial services has been
presented by the guild members, and
it is a move toward even greater co
operation between the forces of the
church than has been in the past
Anna Case, the famous American
soorano and concert singer, who
gives a recital here at the Brandeis
theater, on Thursdav evening. No
vember 11, under the auspices of
the Tuesday Musical club, finds it
very difficult to secure a new mate
rial for her programs since she re
quires songs not only of a high
standard, but containing a certain
popular appeal. Then, too, it is
necessary that these tongs be in har
mony with her voice and tempera
ment. Before her annual New York
recital she is said to examine be
tween 500 and 600 sonars with the
utmost attention, songs including i
old classics, semi-classics, and mod
ern from many lands. 'To our

Case also pays tribute. Naturally
she has used the songs of Charles
Gilbert Spross, for several years her
able accompanist, a great deal. Alex
ander Russell's "Sacred Fire," she
has featured as well as songs by
ray roster, Pearl ,G. Curran, and
the blind composer Roland Farley.
Miss Case has recently added her
own name to the list of American
composers from which she draws
her material. Her first effort, "Song
of the Robin," was written last
summer and will be sung by its
author at her recital here.

Simple Life With
Novels Appeals to
Elliott Dexter
Elliott Dexter, who clavs Brook-
field in William D. Taylor's massive
Kealart production, The Witching
Hour," is a disciple of the simple
life.
"I prefer quiet and simplicity In
my home life," he assert. ' I like
nothing better than the hours spent
among the flowers in my garden,
among my boohs or with friends of
kindred tastes. I have fund that
the ordmary round of amusement of
fers little to those who follow it. A
good picture t.rcasionally, good mu
sic and the like are essential stim
uli, but the continual pursuit of ex
citement is wearing and destructive
to constructive thought.
"I have been much interested in
my present role in Augustus Thom
as' play, 'The Witching Hour,' for
which Julia Crawford Ivers has
written the scenario and which Wil
liam D. Taylor is producing. It of
fers a splendid opportunity for char
acter development and I have given
the part careful study. Only when
I felt that 1 could do myself and the
role full justice would I consider do
ing it. I believe it will be one of the
best characterizations I have ever
done. I cannot refrain from eom
menting upon Mr. Taylor's admir
able methods, nor upon the excel
lence of the cast in general.
"There is joy in work if that work
is worth while and of a sort we love.
I am very devoted to my profession
and I find that only by the most
careful attention to detail and by
shaping my private lifi in accord
with reason can I gain the best re
sults."

The widely circulated report that
Monroe Salisbury is an Indian took
a humorous turn during the star's
visit in New York, according to
word just received in the Los An
geles film colony. The star went to
New York for the trade showing of
his first independently produced
feature, "The Barbarian.fi While
there he received a telegram from
members of the student body at Car
lisle university asking him to make
a personal 'appearance at the famous
Indian school. Because of the pres
sure of time he was unable to make
the trip, althouh he says that he
would have liked to study the splen
did type of young Indian maryliood
at the college. Salisbury attributes
the report that he is an Indian to his
success in playing Indian roles on
the screen. His early picture work
included a portrayal of the role of
"Allessandro" in the screen version
cf "Ramona", and resulted in his be
ing starred.
