| By an easily understood misprint. the
name OF George r. Root who wrote "Rally
Round the Flag"(besides . great many other
weil-known songs), was substituted in yester-
days paper for that OF Mr.. David Moore, the
well-known local baritone. who sang the stir
ring air at Old City Hall Friday night. Both

tton. The veteran writer OF the peoples
songs should be kept in popular remem-
brance.
A "MUsIc MISSION" which has for its object
entertainment for those who cannot AFFORD

City. Tho originator OF the plan is Mr..
Frank Hunter Potter. youngest brother Of
Bishop Potter, who is himself an accom-

MIR. FRANK e. SADDLER has been engaged
to compose the music and conduct the
orchestra for the new melo-drama. "Glenda-
lough," with which Mr.. J. Z. Murray and his
wife, Miss Clara Lane, will soon start from
Baltimore on joint starring tour. The

MIR. Saddler's opportunity will thus be more
in keeping with his musical talent and
equipment than would be the case with
most melo dramas. The throe Pittsburgers
will carry with them many good wishes for

OFTEN when Boston hears some new music
first and her critics praise it, the New York
critics feel in duty bound to take the other
side and tear the same music to tatters
when it gets to their ears. This attitude is
natural and the critical fraternity In Phila-
up in the same kind Of a melee. Then the
public's voice has to decide between the
doctors. That's what has been going on

the all-a5sorbing anniversary that was held

musical interest. Considering the material
at hand, Conductor Carl Ahi deserves hearty
recognition for the measure Of success re-
sulting from his arduous efforts. work OF
this class is not usually undertaken by the
average Mdennerchor; both the members Of
the Robert Blum Club and their feminine
allies are entitled to credit for their earnest
endeavors.
MISS JULIErrE CoRDEN deserves a special
word for her admirable work as Betis7a in
"The Mascot" 1t is not too much to say
that she stands beside Miss Marie Tempest |
as one of the two best singers of light opera |
in the country to-day. They have much IN |
in their refined and wholly artistic |

ical. Miss Tempest shines most in |
Corden is peculiarly successful In |
or pathetic parts. Her debut as |
Mi0non with tho Bostonians seyeral years |
ago first monstrated her special talents to |
