10—A 1 CASH CONTINUES T0 BE COLLECTED Prospects Good For Raising Money For Erection of 01d People’s Home Building. MORE FUNDS ARE NEEDED S — With the campaign well under way the women who have enlisted in the effort to raise sufficient funds to se- cure the erection of a modern build- ing for the accommodation of the aged, feel greatly encouraged. During the last week “they have been out on a systematic canvass for funds and while they are far short of the $40,000 required, they feel certain that they are going to succeed, Batr The Old People’s Home, an insti- tution operated under the direction of the Women's Christian association, and now located on Wirt street, just east of Twenty-fourth, is not only crowded to capacity and with a long waiting list, but it is in such a dilapi- dated condition that ere long it must be vacated. It is a large, three-story wooden structure and it is in such a wretched condition that unless ex- | tensive repairs are made, it is likely 10 be condemned by the city building Inspector, Meet With Fair Success. Realizing the necessity for speedy action, a short time ago the women who have the affairs of the home in charge, started out on a campaign to raise sufficient money to pay for the eréction of a fireproof building on the ten acres of ground deeded to the association by George JW"" For the purdpou at least $40/ will be required and to carry out the ideas of the architect and the members of the building committee, at least an- other $10,000 could be used to good advantage. In carrying on their cxmgnign the women have been reasonably suc- cessful. They have secured one $1,000 subscription, this sum having been given by Dr. Tilden, while two $500 subscriptions have been pledged, one by the Omaba National bank and the other by the Nebraska Telephone company. There are several $100 sub- scriptions and many smaller ones, However, it requires a great number of small subscriptions to enable the women to reach the goal that they have in sight. % Many Thousand Short. Notwithstanding the fact that they are still many thousands of dollars - short of the required amount to jus- tify the commencement of the erec- tion of a building on the new site, the women who are behind the money-raising plan have every reason to believe that they are going to suc- teed, They have had the plans for ~ the propo: building drawn and are of the opinion that they will be able to commence construction during the coming summer, completing the structure next fall and have it ready for occupancy before the coming of . another winter, A number of wealthy men and women of the city haye intimated that in the near future they will con- tribute to the fund for a building and with this money almost in sight and the prospects of many smaller funds, the movers in the rmjecz are feeling exceedingly hopeful that the old peo- le now inmates of the old frame uilding will be comfortably housed before the snows of another winter Iu%m to fall. he movers in the building project announce that either pledges to pay within one year or cash will be re- ceived.

French of Muskegon, Mich,, has just reached his home after a trip from Miami, Fla, Mr. French and his family made the long journey | in a leisurely fashion in a Dodge Brothers' motor car. The important art of the story is the clever way \ m which Mr. French used his car as @ home for the tourists and not only enjoyed the open, but did away with the expense of stopping at hotels, Before starting on the trip, a cook- ing outfit and tableyutensils of alumi- num were purchased, and a suit case arrgnged for carrying this equipment in the easiest manner. The back of the front seat of the car was hinged and a large canvas cover for the car was purchased. During the trip the party cooked I most of its meals in the open and practically every night was spent in the car, By letting down the hinged back of the front seat a comfortable bed was secured, and the canvas cover, which reached to the ground all around the car, protected the party [ from the elements HUDSON SUPER-SIX WINS BIG MONEY IN TROPHY RACE “The big surprise of the metropoli L tan trophy at 150 miles, run off last Saturday on the Sheepshead Bay track, was the Hudson Super-Six in | that classic motor racing event,” said | Guy L.

REES. MEETING of much musical importance was held at the Omaha public library last Tuesday evening, when sev- eral Omaha organists met in rather informal manner and arranged plans for a Nebraska chapter of the American Guild of Or-|f anists, For some years the writer has been interested in this organiza- tion, and several of the prominent or- ganists have from time to time ex- pressed themselyes as highly in favor of a Nebraska chapter, but no definite steps have heretofore been taken in effecting an organization, Miss Rees was made temporary chajirman, and a committee, consisting of Mr. ], H. Simms, Mr. Ben Stanley and Mr. Ver- non C. Bennett was appointed to con- fer with the leading organists in other cities, inviting them to join in the foundation of the Nebraska chap ter. The American Guild of Organists was founded in 1896, and since then it has grown and established chapters in a great many states all through the country, and in Canada, The objects of the guild are “to raise the general efficiency of organists by a system of examinations and certificates, and by the fostering of solo organ playing; to provide opportunities for inter- course among organists; for the dis- cussion of questions of interest con- nected with their work, and for hear- ing model performances of sacred compositions,” With the establish- ment of a chapter in Nebraska op- portunities will be offered organists | desiring to do so to take the exam- inations in this state, Guild recitals will be given and an extra incentive will be presented to organists in their work, The organ is called the king of instruments and its powers and possibilities are altogether too lit- tle known to music lovers in general, It is one of the oldest instruments, tracing its history back to the fifth century, Of late years many improve- ments have been made, both in its scope and construction, adapting it moré and more for use in concert work, besides raising its value as an instrument for religious worship par excellence, A Nebraska chapter of the Guild will do much to raise the standard of organ music in this community and have a salutary effect in other lines of musical endeavor as well, R B The Omaha organists interested in the meeting last week were Ben Stan- he‘y. J. H. Simms, Vernon C. Bennett, artin Bush, Kenneth Widenor, Mrs, E. R. Zabriskie, Mrs, F. F. Pitts, Miss Eloise West, Miss Grace Slabaugh and Miss Henrietta Rees. Many lans for the future were briefly out- ined and arrangements made for a second meeting at a near date, 1 A Frances Nash, whose successes during her first American tour have aroused much real Interest through- out the country, has been secured for a pair of concerts with the Boston Symphony orchestra in Boston for February 22 and 23, also for a New York appearance with the New York Philharmonic orchestra, and will be heard in full recitals in New York, Boston and Chicago, as well as in many other cities throughout the east, west and north. One of the features of Miss Nash's second sea- son will be her re-engagements. She has a number of these at present and still more pending. Miss Hopper, who has just passed through Omaha on her return from a southern trip in the interest of Miss Nash, says: “It is a real pleasure to labor in the interest of such an artist, who wins a host of friends at every ap- pearance, who has nog once failed to meet all hopes and predictions and who creates so much love in her au- diences.” kP CRN Exploited under a large heading, and accompanied with an excellent picture of Mrs. Kelly, the Musical Courier said the following of the ve- Today ixes | } | | | | | We can make many " State extra value, cent Chicago recital of these two- “Enhancing the program which the Irish Fellowship club had ar- ranged for Saturday afternoon, May 6, was the miniature program of Irish folk songs presented by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly. One was im- yressed with the detailed care, and individuality of presentation that were evident throughout the highly interesting program. Both were in excellent voice and sang with that artistic finish and elegance of style that has placed them in the first rank and through which they will always find a warm reception in these sur- roundings. Mrs, Kelly opened with ‘I'll Rock You to Rest’ (a lullaby), and Dr. Joyce's ‘The Leprehaun, sung in a manner which evoked much enthusiasm from the large as- semblage of listeners. “Following this Mr, Kelly sang “The Ninepenny Fidil,’ arranged by Hughes, in a most delightful mood, after which Mrs. Kelly gave with ut- most charm the ‘Ballinderry,’ ‘Gra- | machree Molly' and ‘The Shan Van | Voght' formed Mr. Kelly's next group, in which the beauties of the Old Trish songs were well brought out, ‘Carrigdhoun,’ ‘Over Here’ and ‘The Gap in the Hedge,’ cleverly in- terpreted, were the soprano’s closing | numbers. The little explanatory re- marks which Mr. Kelly made before | each number made the program dou- bly interesting, and the audience was | extremely profuse in its nprlnune for | these two artists, Mr. Kelly played artistic accompaniments for Mrs, | Kelly, and Mary Brown ably sup- ported Mr. Kelly in his selections.” In the “Musical America” for May 13, 1916, we read this of Mme, Marie | Sundelius: “She is one of America's most gifted concert sopranos, who received her training entirely in this | country, though of Swedish birth, The engagement of Marie Sundelius for the Metropolitan Opera company, season 1916-1917, following a com- | paratively short, but brilliantly suc- | cessful concert career, marks some- iwha! a departure in the annals of that | institution. She has been specifically | engaged for the roles of Nedda, | Miscaela and Musetta, | A y | During her brief career the soprano |has sung return engagements with |the Boston, Minneapolis and St Louis orchestras; has been soloist with the New York Oratorio society, the Chicago Apollo club and many | other prominent choruses, besides en- i{aggm(-uls in a number of important estivals, In a recent festival at | Springfield, Mass, May 4 and 6, she | sang the soprano part in Wolf Fer- | rari’s “La Vita Nuova” with the Chi- cago Symphony orchestra, She also appeared in artists’ night program at the same festival, when Mme. Sun- delius and Giovanni Martinelli were the soloists and met with great ova- tions, Mme. Sundelius will be the so- prano at the coming festival of the American Union of Swedish Singers next month, DS 2 Mr. Karl Tunberg, a well known pianist of Seattle, Wash., is visiting m the city for a few days. Mr, Tun- berg is a former Nebraska boy, whose parents still live at Hooper and swho | studied piano in both Omaha and ;l.incnln before going abroad, During his Omaha visit Mr. Tunberg has been staying at the residence of his cousin, Mr, G. L. E. Klingbeil on Lincoln avenue, and Thursday even ing Mr. Tunberg, assisted by Mr. and | Mrs. Henry Cox, gave an informal | recital there. Mr. Tunberg played | the Beethoven “Sonata Appassion- ata," the “Magic Fire” music from il]le “Walkyre,” Wagner-Brassin, and other numbers by Moszkowski, Kul- | lak and Chopin. Mr. Cox played num- | bers from Kreisler, Lemare and other | well known composers.
