He reimbursed the club | or all expenses involved. Pleased With Reception Today in his suite at the Gas-| {tineau Hotel, Mr. Cadman said that |both he and Madame Beeler were ghly pleased with the reception | rded them at the concerts at and Petersburg. “The one hundred per cent pacity house at all per- o both hope that | |satisfactory,” he said. | The melodist who has achieved we on two continents spoke of |tke artistic inclination of the peo- |ple of Alaska he has already come in contact with so far and he said the concerts at Ketchikan and Pet- 'shi brought out a crowd that rprised him in their appreciab |acceptance of his and Mrs. Beeler's |renditions. The schqol children at | Ketchikan, to whom a special mat- inee was given, also showed that |their artistic education is not being | overlocked and also that they were | |highly responsive to numbers that | |were in some cases beyond their years, Mr. Cadman explained. | “We try,” Mr. Cadman went on, “to build our program for the av-| lerage individual to enjoy. We try [to select human interest and char- | |acteristic numbers that are easily understood and yet are poetical | and artistical in their composi- | {tion.” | Indian Folk Lore “The Indian folk lore songs that I play on the Indian flute always find a ready response,” said Mr. Cadman, who further told how he first came to study the Indian legends that finally led to his com- posing several Indian lyrics that are world famous. It was in 1909 when doing research work among the Omaha and Winnehagos In- dians in Mexico and neighboring States that he wrote “The Land of Sky Blue Waters,” which com- position started him on the road |to fame that has now brought forth praise from critics over the world. During the concerts here Mr. Cad- man will play several Indian folk lore compositions of his writing on the real native flute that is usev:x| in the ceremonial dances by the natives of the Western States. “Several operetta numbers, in both the light and heavy trend, will be presented at the- concerts, and while these, Mr. Cadman said, are more serious in their musical nature, they are intended, and we have found that they please the whole of a musical audience.” Here, as in the towns eof Ket- chikan and Petersburg, Mr. Cad- man and Madame Beeler will pre- sent some Norwegian sketches that have brought loud acclaim. The Alaskan engagement of Mr. Cadman and Mrs. Beeler is the end of a six weeks' tour that they have made over the Northwest States. After leaving the north Madame Beeler will return to her Seattle home and Mr. Cadman will go on to California from where he will go to New Mexico to be at the large musicalsevent that is to take place there this spring when the new university gives a musicale of over three hundred voices render- ing several of his compositions. e FURS 5 We are now ready to alter or make up your furs.
