MAX MARETSEK AS TEACHER The Vetsran Instruotor to Take Obargo of an Omaha Institution, PROGRESS OF MISS CLARY'S ENTERPRISE The Achool to e Opened in April—Plan of the Managers—Concerta and Recl of the Past Week -Among Omuha's Musiclans, Max Maretzek will oe the director of the Omaha Opera festival school, Miss C. C. Tennant Clary's enterprise, which will be opened carly in April. This announcement does much toward assuring the success of the school, for it is safe to assume that the musicians and students of music in thre west will be quick to takeadvantage of the oppor | tunity to get a course of instruction from the wan who brought out Kellogg and Nordica and has taught the leading vocalists of the country. 1t was Miss Cla 1o securc the services of Max Maretzek if possible and to at least have Madame Maret zek a8 a teacher in the school the veteran teacher and director for his terms, and received a proposition which she promptly pted Everything is very promising now for the successful launching of tho entery plan of incorporation, very similar to that of the Cincinnati festiv ry leaves room for kind of musical enter prises that the managers may decide to at- tempt. It is proposed to issue 1ifty scholar ships at £0 each. These will be disposed of asa guaranty fund for the openingof the school. For the members of the school who take tho chorus work the tuition feo will be £0. This will include two lessons a wee for six months, instructions in fencing and dancing and stage placing. The pupils who do not- take the chorus work will have a fee of #100 to pay for six months instruction in the various branches of the school. Begi ners will be taken and given the full course of instructions while mor anced musi- cians will be offered advan squal to those of any of the big ecastern conserva tories at o very much less cost But the plans of the school are best plained by Miss Clary herself. had planned her enterprise and had nounced some of her plans some ¢ managers adopted her eredit for having al_Courier of ails her plans. ox- an aimed In a letter York Miss Dec, 20 Courier, New York do me the courte: your valuable paper the movement I have Lishing opera in our ls management. Having tempt here in- Omah done so with success, T feel t now con dently announce the results of the same, ¢ peciaily as I see by some press notices that parties in the casi are acting upon my j and not giving me the slightest recognition for having originated the same, and brought it in one place, at least, to ctical issuo thereby proving my plan’ practicable and not, visionary. It is not necessury ew the conditions in America that heretofore have rendered all attempts to suy failure, either financially or musica are well known to all ‘peopie inte musieal development. Government canuot support opera America for several reasons. First—It is government by the people, and _enacts meas ures and laws demanded by the people. Is America today sufficiently musical to ask for government support for opera or any art? The interest of our government in education stops at the high school. As a federal gov- ernment, it could not give it to individual cities; as a state government it would meet the same ob, consequently, it would come to the city government to support or endow opera. Outside of New York and a few of our large eastern cities that arc at least partially musical, with a large floating yopulation, a'season of more t weeks could not be sustained, from the masses are not sufficiently musical to at- era, either as a matter offeducation 3 consequently it would be pos- but a short scssion, and neces: expenses would be to0 great to ermit the price of admission to be suf- ciently,low to enable the masses to attend, As to endowed opera, it meets with about the same objection, to w ¥ be added another, that only large cities and those ad- vanced in music will be able to sustain season or to produce men sufficient] ested in music to give the endowment. It would be very much like au endowed univer- sity—every city would not have one. Having seen these plans possess many disadvantages that were almost insurmountable, I con- ceived the idea of giving operns in our larger cities by establishing a stage under & local management, each city to have its own board of directors and its own fund. By she association of cities within a reasonable distance of each other we could give a season of several mouths, each city having a season longer or shorter as its population could sup- yort. Each city would have the benefit of the reduction of expenses which a three months season would make. 1 commenced my work last spring inOmaha, and gave this fall a season of opera with success, as Mr. Max Maretzek, who was musical director, will tell you. At the time the Chicago and New York papers and the Associated pross g onsiderable notice to the movement, 1 received 't of such peoplo as Colonel Cocke nk Leslie, Mr. Charles Nixon, the Chicago “Inter Oceun,” the Associated press, Mr, Jeorge M. Pullman, Rev. Dr. Thomas and many other prominent veople, who all agreed that the plan [ presented solved the problem, “How shall opera be sustained in America.” And the fact that Mr. Max Maretzek came as musical director for the nominal amount of his expenses shows how that distinguished veteranof opera regarded my plan. n Omaha 1 can refer you to M. Moyer, Mr. Adolph Meyer, Mr. A Mr. Roscwi editor Omama Hitcheoc editor P. Bemis, mayor, y other prominent business men who supported the movement 1 will give in each of our large western cities organized on this plan next fall. I will also organize an opera school in each place to train an auxiliary chorus, and &t the same time give to the members of the chorus a practical vocal training. n Omaha will be opened soon, and of directors is composed of our m tial ladies aud gentlemen. “The course ruction includes voice pla sight, chor of the of action, fencing and dancing.

The initial concert of Mrs, Cotton of composers recitals received a flattering reception at the hands of the Omaha publi 1l considering the treatment that many first class entertainments have met from that public this, is saying a good deal. The recital was certainly deserving of the aporo- bation that it received, for it may be justly considered one of the most enjoyable events of the season. In selecting Rubenstedn as the composer whose work should be illus- trated at the first recital Mrs, Cotton as- sumed a difficults task. The compositions of that master ares rather severe for an entiro program, but the manner in which they were rendered Monday evening left but little room for criticism. The music room at Kord & Charlton's was filled to over- flowing and fully 150 persons stood througH* the entire program. Hr. Hans Alb violin solo received an enthusiastic ence and Mrs. Hitcheock’s accompaniment was also favorably commented upon. The solos were contributed by Mrs. 'Moeller, Mr. Wilkins, Miss Coon and others, and were uniformly well reccived. To the lovers music the recital given by the pupils of Mr. Hans Albert at Young “Men's Christian association hall Thursday evening was an event of unusual interest.” The pupils showed a proficiency in their art which was highly creditable, and in several numbers was_displayed a mastery of the instrument which indicated talent of a higher order. The gold medal offered by Mr. Albert as a reward for the highest pro- ficiency was won by Mr. Charles Higgins, who played a “Fantas aprice” by Vieux- temps with an intensity of expression which savored somewhat of the artistic spirit of his instructor. ~ The committee who acted as Jjudges consisted of Mrs. Cotton, Mrs. Hitch- cock and Messrs.

The quality is fine, and the flavor almost equal to a pear. One pretty feature of the exhibit was that each of the six countics had hanging over 1ts exhibit tables a fine oil painting of the county seat, done by a local artist. Now if different sections of the state of Nebraska would take as much vital interest in establishing and permanently conducting such a display of horticultu exhibits open to visitors and inviting their inspection, the i e of population and investment of 1 capital would well repay the outlay.

The fan palm is a beauty, and from eight to fifteen of its broad fanlike leaves make a magnificent large tree. Of the feather palm tree the long plumelike leaves measure from eight to ten feet in length. I saw three banana trees cut down to the roots for the new year's growth. The next morning I measured the new growth and found the young stalks had grown one inch during the first night. They unfold from the center like tho shoots of young corn The banana_tred is imported from Mexico and only raised here as a curiosity. The climate is niot hot enough to fully mature the fruit. I passed an apple orchard yesterday. Those apple trees were the only reminders of the north I have seen here. The boughs were so bare and wintry, looking like ghosts of departed beauty in contrast with orange orchards hanging heavy with golden fruit just ripening. Oh, how delicious those oranges are, plucked fresh from the tree! A fine vored though small orange retails at 10 cents per dozen, some inferior ones at 3 cents, while the Riverside brings 25 cents. I have heard it stated in the east that the people here were so selfish about their fruit hat the owners of large orchards would not offer a visitor an orange, keeping all for sale. he fact is people here are remarkably and_courtcous, especially so to igers, and are only too proud to obtain their opinion of the quality of the favorite fruit.
