By 'HENRIETTA M. REES. AST WEEK we wrote an editorial ' upon the Civic Music_association of Chi- cago. We wrote of its gen- eral scheme of fostering community music, of its ideals and purposes, and something of its success. But we did not touch upon the work of Mr. Thomas J. Kelly in connection with it, and this is one of the most interesting parts of the whole story. Mr. Kelly is conductor of the com- munity music held under the auspices of the city on the Municipal Pier last summer, and which will be held in Fullerton hall in the Fine Arts build- ing this winter. This is an important part of the work of the Civic Music association’s work, and has met with remarkable success. During his stay of several days here last week Mr. Kelly spoke enthusiastically of the way in which the association is work- ing out its ideals yractically, and said that the greatest credit is ‘due to Miss Frances Brundagé, the superintendent, a wonder at accomplishing things, and untiring in her efforts toward even greater successes. At the recent din- M| icr given by the Chicago Civic Music | league every speaker there spoke of her remarkable achievements, and I have since heard, though he did not tell me, they also said that one of her greatest achievements was in gettin Mr. Kelly to conduct this municipa chorus. This is not like directing a body of trained voices, for here every- body is welcome. No voice test or previous knowledge of music i re- . auired. It is a different proposition to gain results under ‘I‘°59 conditions. —— When I asked Mr. Kelly about his work he handed over almost enough press notices describing it to fill a page by themselves, saying they would tell the story and each one was so interesting that I should like to use them all. The first ones speak of a “goodly number of people” and a chorus of four or five hundred, the latter ones of a thousand or more Chicagoans, representing every walk of life, sing- ing lustily for an hour and a half, in spite of chilly weather. Mr, Kelly said ,in this connection that at the first few rehearsals ‘people seemed to be mov- ing all the time. They would come in, stay awhile and theg go out, but after that they came and®stayed until the singing was over, and, what was more to the point, joined in. Herman Devries in the Chicago Argerican de- scribes an evening at the pier as fol- ows : “Gray-haired, hoary-bearded men, stalwart striplings, ~mothers with pretty babes in their arms, bright- eyed girls, mature matrons of undeni- able prosperity, little children ‘all in‘a row,’ the simple livers and the world wise, literally brushed elbows an giggled lilke “school children at the amusing quips of the genial director, Thomas Kelly. Mr. Kelly, who is a well-known vocal teacher of great in- telligence, possesses all the qualities of magnetism, humor, energy and knowledge necessary to awaken and sustain the interest and diligence of this composite chorus. “And they really sing well. Every one is drawn into tunefulness. First, one looks about curiously. Smiling faces greet one, lusty voices intone fa- miliar airs, then you begin to grin sheepishly. Finally, you laugh out- right, capitulate and sing! You have just ‘got to’ sing! You cannot helpit. “And let me tell you, if you go into the auditorium ignorant of diction and dynamics and sustaining tofre, you go out informed!” Mr. Devries then goes on to quote a few Kellyisms which “by shared humor” draw the public to him, and tells about the revised version of “The ( Star-Spangled Banner,” concluding: e “Chicagoans can thank Mr. Kelly for teaching them the national ‘antheml But that_is only the beginning of a series of joys.” Karleton Hackett in the Post gives over a column to the community sing- ing at the pier and Mr. Kelly's work. He speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Kelly’s directing, saying among other things in regard to his skill in han- dling the people, that he is “evidently a live wire at this sort of thing.” He speaks of the shyness and wariness of the people at [first, for fear there might be some insidious political or moral purpose hidden underneath the pleasure which would all come out in due time and make them mad clear through, for just the opportunity to come together and enjoy a good time in singing for itself was much too good to be true. He speaks of Mr. Kelly's success in overcoming this feeling and also that self-conscious- ness which we all have, and says in art “Mr. Kelly actually succeeded in / getting a considerable number’ of the ‘men to come and stand around him and sing a serenade to the women. What do you think of that? They sang, ‘Good Night, Ladies’ and ‘How Can I Bear to Leave Thee,’ and re- peated the second verse pianissimo. After a couple of trials they made a very good fist at it: with several bhig fellows that growled out an im- pressive bass, and some tenors who =-dmprovised real barber shop chords. Then the women applauded vocifer- ously aid the men grinned just as they used toyears ago, when they had done their stunt at a schodl ex- hibtion. But through it all you could feel the satisfaction that comes from getting into’ the game and doing something for yourself, instead of being everlastingly out jin the bleach- ers. People began to move up still closer and to talk to one another as { though they were really parts of a great community and not merely an- tagonistic atoms with none but dis- agreeable relations with one another. “This sort of thing is worth while, and in it the Civic Music association has found a field ready for the plowing.” : i | The program book which they use at these ‘gatherings contain familiar folk songs and patriotic airs, for the most part. They expect soon to have their own song books with more music that everybody loves and can q sing *in_them. . Mr. Kelly is greatly interested in the work, and hopes to organize from these community affairs a large civic chorus. He is also greatly i ‘ terested in the work done in the dif- ferent centers im a musical way. In talking about it he told of certain communities where many foreign ele- emnts are represented. In these they d often have a German or Bohemian folksong sung in the origihal tonguc | Mildred Clauson. by the natives of that country, then the words are flashed upon a screen in English and everybody sings them. In this way, by learning each other's folksongs, the different elements are drawn more closely together in the great mcltin‘g pot of America and the olksongs of all nations {become a common property and heritage. o The Musical Leader of Chitago de- voted an entire page hfit wcel_( to two articles on Music and Com- munity Singing in Chicago. The first one, an editorial, spoke of the great enthusiasm _of everyone connected with the Civic Music association, of the well known amateurs and musi- cians and large number of socially elect W)*‘ have “caught the vision of the ideal, a musical Chicago,” and are taking a lively interest, and 'm' the part Mr. Kelly ‘was playing in the realization of it, saying: / Chicago has taken most kindly to Thomas J. Kelly, whose ch®us at Omaha has the Qistinction of being classed with the most famous In the country, for the ‘Mendels sohns” have been trained by this clover mu- siclan who has already become thé cynosure of all musical eyes in this mgtropolls. In a weeks Mr. Kelly has convinced the t they want to sing and has been encouraged In the iden by Angus S. Hibbard, Who is known as the “Father” of community singing. A number of people who took part in the summer concerts on the Musical Pler under Mr. Kelly's direction joined the Carr Music league guests at dinner October 12, and there was a real community “sing” under the direction of this new ‘“personality” for Kelly's success with, the people is the result of hils understanding the art of getting the best from them. He has positive genius for making the people sing and he does not hes- itate to insist upon clarity of enunclation and English as'{t should be sung and rarely is. Positively amazing ware the volume and grading of tone Mr. Kelly gained from this democratic chorus of all kinds and con- ditions of people. — The second, an article by Angus Hibbard, on “Community (Singing” and its place in American life is well worthy an entire reading. His concluding paragraph is briefly to the point: This singing together is the one and only thing fn which people of varied tongues and antecedents may take part on ap equal basts. It is the only universal {anguage. Wo cannot understand speeches, sermons, or even books, in just the same way. Our soclal customs are so different that we can- not at all times mix spontaneously with those who differ from us in these ways. We can, however, all sing together, and our songs are written In the same notation. In- deed, many of the best known songs have been handed down through so many genera- tions that to a large extent they are known to all. W are searching always for the best ways of ‘‘Amerlcanizing our people,” as we call it, that fs, of making nelghbors and comrades of all who live in the same en- vironment without regard to birth or lan- guago. I belleve it will be found that com- munity singing I8 the greatest single ele- ment and influence which, In our great melting pot, will bring us together as com- panions, as nelghbors, as people of one country, with one alw-and only one patri- otism. The movement has begun not only in Chicago, but other cities, towns .and vil- lages. It comes from the peopla in their esire for spontancous expression. It will grow from them into one of the greatest forces for good and the development of American cltizenship, | - In this connection let us turn our eyes for a moment upon Lincoln. That wide-awake city has already had two community “sings,” at one of which 1,400 people turned out in spite of a rain which lasted all day. These “sings” were sponsored by the mayor, the president of the Commercial club and the president of the Community Singing society. Here is Omabha fifty miles away, far larger and richer than Lincoln and able to support vastly more .musical attractions. - We have a mayor, a president of the Commercial club and a wonderful Retail Merchants' association, which takes an interest in affairs musical, and a number of musical and welfare clubs, but we have as yet no com- munity singing society, nor president of one; no, nor anything of the sort, and that is, perhaps, the key to the whole situation. Shan’t we get together and get one? The Staté Federation of Musical Clubs, through its president, Hazel Gertrude Kinscella, announces an = | Musical Notes | Dr. and Mrs, Frederick C. Fremantel will be heard In song -recital Tuesday evening, November 21, at the First Congregational church, under the auspices of the Ladies' soclety of that church. This will be their first ‘song recital in Omaha since their re- turn from Minneapolis to make their home here and will afford their, friends and music lovers an opportunity of again hear- ing them. Walter B. Graham, baritons, will have charge of the muslcal program for the Woman's club, Lincoln, Monday, November 6, and will be assisted by Miss Gertrude Alkin, contralto, and Miss Esther Fricke, accompanist. Mr, Graham and Miss Aikin will each contribute three groups of sorgs to the program. Forrest Painter, baritone, pupll of Wal- ter B. Graham, recently sang with fine suc- cess before the International Christlan En- deavors at Des Moines, Ia. The announcement cardsiof Ethel Parsons, teacher of volco and assistant to Loulse Jansen Wylle, with studio at 514 McCague bullding, have heen received. Thomas J. Kelly will give a series of four lecture recitals on Wagner's “Ring of the Nibelungs” on the four consecutive Satur- day-afternoons in November at 3 o'clock at the rooms of the Caxton club on the tenth floor of the Fine Arts bullding in Chicago. The lectures will be presented in the fol- lowing order: November 4, “Das Rhein- gold;" November 11, “Die Walkure;" November 18, “Siegfried,” and November 25, “Dile Gotterdammerung.” These are of interest to any one who is planning to go to Chicago for these operas. Albert Sand, organist ‘of the Immanuel Lutheran church, a new acquisition to Omaha musical circles, will give an organ recital at the Immanuel church, Nineteenth and Cass, Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Sand will play “Prelude from Sonata In No. 3 opus 60, Guilmant, two groups of shorter numbers and ‘“‘Marche Rellgieuse,” by Guilmant, as a closing number, Rev. Chinlund will give the invocation, and a quartet will assist with two numbers, J. E.

Miss Kinscella says, in part: Community music has been the subjact of much discussion at all recent musical conventions, but I belleve that this is the first conference devoted entirely to the discussion of the subject to be held In the west. In the forenoon our conference will con- vene at the Lincoln hotel, at which time there will be discussion of the many phases of the work. In the afternoon we plan to hold further discussion, have & concert by visiting musical organizations from over the state and a “€hildrgn's Festival” In which 1,000 Lincoln chitdfen will take part, inder the direction of Mr. C. H, Miller, gqupervisor of Lincoln school musie, In the evening we will hold a big Inter-com munity concert, In which a cholr of over 700 singers from all parts of the state wilt #ing, under the dir on-of Mrs, Carrie B Raymond of the State university, Already 80 many prominent clubs, educators and mu- sical organizations have promised to be present and take part in the programs that we expect that the conference will be a very interesting and inspiring event. The coming inter-community con- ference will, no doubt, hold much of interest, ot only for the professional musician, but for the amateur musical enthusiast as well. Much can he accomplished by evervbody get- ting together and pulling iy the same direction, and its -sessions should be well attended. It is working right along the lines of this subject of com- munity mfisic, which is of greatest moment to every community. The state contest for American trained players, held under the direc- tion of the -National Federation of Musical Clubs, will be held in Lincoln on Friday, November 24. Anyone de- siring further particulars may get them from Miss Kioscella at Lincoln, Mr. Martin Cahn of Chicago has been spending several days in Omaha the last week. Mr. Cahn and his tal- ented wife were at one time among the most prominent factors of Oma- ha's musical life. Mrs. Cahn is a gifted soprano, and Mr. Cahn was a most successful pianist and teacher, and numbered among his pupils Mi Corinne Paulson, Mrs. S, S. Caldwell, Miss Grace Hancock, the writer, and a number of other serious piario stu- dents who have cause to remember his careful teaching with gratitude. Mr. and Mrs. Cahn left Omaha eighlegn years ago to make their home in Chicago, where he spent sev- eral years in teaching before devoting himself to business interests. “The War Bride’s Secret” * Feature at the Farnam Virginia Pearson takes the part of a bonnie Scotch lass in “The War Bride's Secret,” presented at the Far- nam today.

P. McGowan, still are buried in the midst of the Callfornia redwood forests, where they are busy on the super-gerial, “The Lass of the Lumberlands.” They are located near Eureka, Cal, and have-access to lumber camps, a saw mill and shipping wharfs. Much local color of novel interest is being obtalned and Signal followers are awaiting first views of the ploture with much anticipation. Honors are heaping up on that most de- serving of young actors, Charles Ray, the “'wonder boy of Inceville,’ as he was once dubbed. An eastern organist wrote him re- cently that his work had sb Inapired him that he had written speclal music for the plcture In which he appeared. On top of this Mrs. Pat Campbell's stage manager wrote stating that he had written a play and hoped that Charles would be {n a posi- ton ‘to take & part written with him in view. Bertram Grassby, who has the s\gons vole of Manuel in the Universal serial, ‘Mberty,” divides his time between work on the pic- ture and work on the new home which he and Mrs, Grassby are building in Hollywood. Thelr new residence, which will be com- pleted within a month, is of colonlal design and quite extensive. It is ineone of the prettiest sections of Hollywood, and Bert. and his wife each evening visit the struc- ture to see how much progress has been made during the day.

Mrs. Langtr At the Orpheum Mrs. Lapgtry (Lady de Bathe) comes this week to the Orpheum the- ater as the stellar attraction. Sup- orted by Pelham Lynton, the Eng- ish actor, last seen here with Cyril Maud in “Grumpy,” she is to present the one-act play “Ashes.” The author of it was also the author of her most pronounced success, “As in a §.ook- ing Glass." Vinie Daly is to be an- other feature of the bill. Harry and Emma Sharrock will present a charac- teristic skit of the fair ground for- tune tellers. Al and Fanny Stedman in a turn they call “Pianocapers” are established favorites. The dancing Kennedys will provide a terpsichorean treat. Cecil Parkes with the violin and William Conway at the piano will contribute a recital. Paul Gordon and Ame Rica, in addition to their skill on the wheel, possess ability as singers, dancers, conversationalists and come- dians. Frontiers of France and Italy will be" shown in motion pictures by the Orpheum Travel eekly and mountain climbing in the Alps will also be shown. For the week of November 12 the Orpheum will present Fay Temple- ton, who has never appeared here in the two-a-day. In musical comedy and light opera Miss Templeton has been one of the most popular enters tainers, hér last and best known suc- cess being “Forty-five Minutes from Broadway.” At the Orpheum Miss Templeton will present a repertoire of song sketches written expressly for her by Junie McCree. - Specially fea- tured ‘on the same bill with Miss Templeton will be Allen Brooks in his new one-act comedy-drama entitlted “Dollars and Sense.” EITA I Ask the members of the Suffolk regiment, fighting ‘“somewhere in France,” who is the greatest actress the world has ever seen and they will answer with almost one voice, Mrs, Lily Langtry. And there is a reason for this great unanimity. The boys in the trenches and more especially those who are with the Suffolk regi- ment, for that portion of the ‘great English expeditionary army was re- cruited in Suffolk county, where Lady de Bathe’s country home is locatcti are extremely fond of her. Liberal quantities of scarfs, socks, mittens, tobacco, pipes, cigarets and similar gifts so welcome to the fighting Tom- mies have endeared her to them. Although now in this country for a tour of the Orpheum gircuit, Mrs, Langtry continues to interest herself in the comforts of the men who have responded to their country’s call to arms. Tangible evidence of this is provided by the immense quantity of postcards which reach her almost daily from the battlefields of war- torn &'rance. An expert with the knitting needles, in common with most English women at present, Lady de Bathe fills in nearly all her spare moments making warm clothing for her soldier friends'at the front. At the present time a movement which is receiving Mrs. Langtry's closgst attention is the “tuckerbox fund” started by a London newspaper to send out little delicacies, such as jam, potted meats, sardines, pepper- mints, etc., to the men in the trenches. “I get lots of nice cards from the Tommies at the front,” said Mrs. Langtry the other day. A glance at the cards quickly showed why Mrs, Langtry has so many friends among the soldiers, for each missive was an acknowledgement of a gift sent out by her to the firing line. “Lady,” wrote Private J. Shinn No. | 7057, “1 have received your gift of tobacco, which I am sure was thank- fully welcome, as the time seems so We are ‘making the best of it until the weather breaks.” Corporal J. Day of the Second Suf- folk regiment had also thanks to ex- pressi “Dear Madame,” ran his brief epistle, “just a few lines thanking you on behalf of my sectibn for your many presents of cigarets, pipes and pouches.

Buenos Aires, Oct. J1.—The ordi- nary session of the Argentine €on- gress ended just previous: to the re- cent change in government when a radical . president assumed power for the first time in history. The ' petiod* ‘just closed has been remarkable for-legislation. ‘The aid parliament in the world, its acfil:vementr-dnrin the ordifiary’ period have been mediocre, practic- ally nil. " As usual the estimates were left to be dealt with ‘ih extraordingr; session.’ Ituis felt that the new ministration's first will be with national. finances. In regard to provincial finances they are geldoni considéred. “They represent a permanerit . source 'of trouble—a chronic chaos. * The: situation i not improved by. the studied silence of the new president, ' Dr. Irigoyen, whose pre-election’ ‘faciturnity has been maintained ‘with "the utmost rigidity. 'No one knows what his policy may be; his platform is an enigma. Among the” last acts of the out- going’ government were the framing by President de la Plaza, of a sound currency bill. The idea is to harmon- ize the, paper "peso” or dollar with a gold bases. At present the paper dollar, legal currenty, equals forty- four cents gold. The pgesident’s plan is to make the unit or dollar equal to a five franc French currency. Twenty cents Argentine paper wouf:i therefore be the minor unit equal to the franc. It would thus meet the requirements of a decimal system and that of the nations comprised within the Latin league. The paper dollar, forty-four cents, would disappear al- together, and the arrangement based upon the actual stock of gold in the republic would be, when complete, perfectly in accord with the ideal, a ‘guaranteed circulating medium of a definite and invariable value. A revised customs tariff has also been considered.
