Madame Blauvelt Viii Again Visit
Scranton - Contemplated Enter
prises of Professional and Amateur
Character-Brief Points Concerning
Well Known Local Artists.

Mime. Blauvelt will appear at Che
frothlngham theater on Oct. Is, at
a benefit given for st. Luke's free
kindergarten, under direction of Mrs.
Oakford. The local vocalists who will
assist at the entertainment are Miss
Ella Marie Dreager, solo contralto and
Mr.. Alfred WOoler, tenor, of Elm Park.
The entertainment will be one of the
most elaborate ever given at the
rockingham and will be O society
event in many respects. The stage
will be draped especially for the occa-
sion and will contain an elegant draw.
ing room setting. The greater portion
of the audience will appear In full
dress and the occasion will be one of
brilliancy. Nine. Blauvelt Is too we'll
known to Scranton audiences to need
other introduction than the announce
ment of the date of her appearance.
The fact that she will appear is suffi-
cient assurance that the entertainment
will be of a high class.
Application blanks for those who
wish to join Mr.. Lindsay's chorus
may be found at Powell's. AS Mr..
Lindsay's recommendations are of o
high order he will undoubtedly re-
ceive the hearty support of oil Scran-
ton musicians and will probably have
no difficulty in organizing a large
chorus. The benefits of chorus sing
ing are many even to the vocalist who
sings for amusement only, and the
general health of people subject to
pulmonary complaints Is invariably
improved by chorus practice that is in
dulged in with moderation under di-
rection of competent instructors.
The music committee at the First
Presbyterian church is still undecided
in the matter of selecting an organist
to fill the position held so many years
by Miss Stella Seymour. Numerous
applications have been received and
the excellence of the talent offered
makes the selection the more difficult.
1t is probable, however; that an organ
ist will be engaged permanently dur.
ing the present month.
Organist George Carter has recently
received overtures from the managers
of Padere wski who desire to bring the
great artist to Scranton under Mr..
Carter's management. AS Paderewsk
usually receives from $500 to $1,000
for an evenings entertainment it il
doubtful If any Scranton musician will
be induced to assume the responsibility
of an appearance in this city.
The regular choir at Penn Avenue
Baptist church will be ON duty again
tomorrow, all members having returned
from their summer vacations. The
music will be rendered by Mrs. Lizzie

tenor; Miss Florence Richmond, or
ganist, and John T. Watkins, baritone
and director,
The we'll known musical director
Tallie Morgan, has again been engaged
to furnish a musical column weekly fo
the Scranton Truth. The music de
partment of the Truth under Mr.. Nor
gan's direction will prove one of tn,
most interesting and widely read feat
ures of our excellent contemporary.
