And as one progresses in musical ap- preciation and ability, he finds the rich treasure house of musical liter- ature and knowledge opened wider and wider to admit him, from which he may take of its riches whatever and whenever he will. Then, after his worst difficulties are over and he has awakened to the full significance of his mishaps and adventures in the course of his musigal life, he may come at last to that Ithaca of ac- complishment, content that no tech- nical monsters can now intimidate, and assured that his well-developed musical sense will help him safely over any future problems which he may meet, . Ponder this well, the wonderful ad- ventures of a musical Odysseus with all their griefs and joys are for no one who does not take the ‘musical journey himself—nor is the knowl- edge that comes therefrom, il In contrast to the excitements and experiences of the musical pilgrimage may be set the lives of those hundreds of nien, women, and even children, who are restless and longing for “something to do,” in other words, some outlet for their emolhn“ ‘energy. They cast about them for amusement, and wander discontent- edly through the days. They get tired of always secing others, in the mov- in Ricturel or on the stage, doing all the acting while they are merely wudience, They even weary of reading Omaha is one of the nine cities of Ellis Grand Opera company this fall, On October 23-24, “Carmen” will be the initial offering and “I1 Trovatore” comes the second night. To bring this attraction, a guarantee has been | assumed by the Associated Retailers of Omaha. And yet, the people are af- forded sitting in the auditorium at less than they would have to pay to see less distinguished casts of the same operas in Chicago and New York. The remarkable feature of the per- formances to be seen here is that every one of the principals is famous for the particular part in which he or she is cast. Mankind has seldom seen a Carmen equal to the interpre- tation Omaha_will see in Geraldine Farrar. Don Jose has not often been sung or acted as Lucien Muratore gives it, Clarence Whitehill is un- equalled as the Toreador. And thus it is possible to classify each one of the principals in Carmen. The same distinction rest upon the cast for “I1 LOUISE HOMER, Prima Donna Contralto. ston as Manrico, and all the other principals well fitted in their various parts.
