The Unirersalist concert was of rather
light music. There were a few notable
exceptions. The Schuberth Romania
had great pathetic strength. Its plead
isg subject moved one strongly, rising
and falling with passionate pulsings. It
had something of the Chopin spirit,
something of the complaint of the G
minor nocturne. 11 he Scherao was wil
fully brilliant, with a queer subject in
long skips, varied with very delicate
passages. The Beethoven Allegro kept
one busy; it was full of odd turns, now
here, bow there, impulsive, pretty, keep
ing one always in wonder as to what it
would do next. Beethoven, at his lighter
moods, has a good deal of the child or
the playful kitten. He lets himself go,
regardless of decorum or precedent, in a
wild game of "follow your leader.' And
the listener likes the chase.
The Mozart Quoniam from the Mass
in G ended the concert. It has a strong
ly rythmic subject as was given with
energy. It has none of the mysterious
ecstacies of religion, it is good hearty
praise. Indeed it has not the gravity
that we of today are inclined to attach
to church music (Gospel hymns are
sot church music, they belong in re
vival halls). It carries us back almost
to the glad old days when strong mec
were not ashamed to dance joyously be
fore the Lord, and to invite the little
hills to do the same.
The rest of the quartet numbers were
the well known Dudelsack, the Angel's
Lullaby, a little insipid, though with a
pretty morendo effect at the end, and a
Faucosier meditation, delicately tune
ful, with a protty "Amec" effect in the
The soloist was Miss Davis. She played
Vieuztemps Reverie. She did very
strong work in the more rapid passages,
but the quieter passages seemed be
yond her. She must get better tone,
must get rid of thft woody, fibrous
sound. Violin music demands more than
technique, more, even, than technique
and feeling. It demands tone, ability
to make the instrument ring. Mire
'Davie should, for a time, give her whole
attention to this. Without it, she may
get applause in Lincoln, but cannot be
come a very strong player.
Mr. Tucker and Mrs. Cheney sang an
aria from Verdi's "I Masnadieri." Mr.
Tucker should leave Lincoln for a
while, he showB bad symptoms of the
prevalent tremolo. He should also try
to get rid of a certain "fuzzy" quality
that injures his tone. Mrs. Cheney's
work seemed perfunctory and unsym
pathetic, her voice, in some parts, rings
rather harsh. The duet had one great
merit, it was sung in tune and that is.
when one thinks of some things one
hears, no small merit.
At the concert of the Philharmonic
orchestra, to be given on the 25th, Mr.
Hagenow will give a number of very
strong compositions. Among them will
be Dvorak's Slavonic dances, Mozart's
well known overture to Don Giovanni,
Meyerbeers brilliant Coronation march,
and the Lohengrin Bridal chorus. Ad
ditional number's will be vocal solos by
Mrs. Lippincott and Mr. Seamark, songs
by the vocal quartet, a piano solo by
Mrs. Herzog, whose work is beginning
to become known among us, and Lapin
ski's celebrated Concerto Militaire.
played by Mr. Charles Hagenow. Every
thing points to a very strong concert.
It is only by joining in the building up
of local music that we can make Lincoln
a musical centre. It is to be hoped that
the public will show that it is going to
be feasible to support classical music
here. Success should be made a matter
local pride.
It is always pleasant to hear Sulli
van's comic music. Hn reminds me of a
naughty choir boy Mr. Seamark
may have met such out on a picnic.
He uses all his church "properties"
even the intoning to the most irrever
ent purpose. And his real fun when he
lets it out, is riotously yet innocently
happy. His music may be thin. It has
always, however, dash and swing, and
keeps reasserting itself in one's memory
on all sorts of irrelevant occasions. It
is easy music to sing, for it is hard
music to spoil.
The Damrosch opera is being enthusi
astically received in the east. Dam
roach's new opera, the "Scarlet Letter,"
neems to be not entirely a success if
critics tell the truth. I hear, by the
way, that Mr. Damrosch has fallen foul
of the Boston Journal and refused it
advertising, all because he didn't like
what its critic, Mr. Philip Hall,
said of him. But the Journal went
right on.
Marsck,the violinist, is in this coun
try. At present, ho wever, he is disabled
by the bite of a "veno mous insect," and
cannot play at all.
Great preparations are being made
for the Cincinnati May festival. Klofsky,
Daviesand other well known artists
will sing. Thomas' orchestra is to fur
nish accompaniment. If only our May
festival would revive!
At theUniversalist concert, a baby in
white talked a good deal. But its
mother was very patient. A pale young
woman with bleached hair sat on the
gallery rail and ate red candy. These
were the most picturesque exhibitions
of taste.

Many persons take, a variety of remedies and try many
novel procedures to reduce their weight We do not refer
to these. If you have been in fair health, with a normal
amount of flesh, and yet have been losing weight of late,

weak, without appetite, losing color, and easily exhausted;
this loss of flesh is the signal of distress. Heed it, promptly.

HE REVIEW OF
REVIEWS, as its
name implies, gives in
readable form the best

great magazines all over
the world, generally on the same date that they
are published. With the recent extraordinary
increase of worthy periodicals, these careful
reviews, summaries, and
quotations, giving the
gist of periodical litera

2 Aside from these departments, the editorial
gys and contributed features of the Review of Reviews are themselves
