Interesting Notes Concerning Musi-
clans at Home and Abroad.
THE CHIMES AT THE ACADEMY
A Successful Production by Scranton
Amateurs = Bamberg's "Elaine"- Ef.
feet of Extra Music in Churches.
Rubinste ein's Unfinished Works.

The rendition of the Chimes of Nor
mandy by Richard Lindsay's chorus
last evening was creditable perform
ance that gave evidence of the ability
of the director and talent of his COM
pany. Being headed by two such pro-
fessional artists as Nine. Natal and
Henry Peakes, of course Mr.. Lindsay's
party had the advantage of the ordin-.
ary amateur troupe. But the work of
the entire company was admirable
throughout.
Illustrations of the influence of good
music in attracting large audiences at
church services We're given on. Christ
mas and at the New Year exercises in
some of the Scranton houses of wor-
ship. This was particularly noticeable
at the cathedral, where a large orches-
ira assisted the choir under the efficient
direction of Professor Schilling; and at
the First Presbyterian church, where
the organ was augmented by a violin
and harp, 1t seems singular that, i'm
view of the successes of extra musical
features, church music committees will
hesitate at the slight expense that is
incurred in securing additional instru-
ments. Good music never destroys the
effect of good sermon. In most in
stances it is an aid, and often an in
spiratlon, that moves the minister to
greater efforts. The day of struggling
congregational singing and of tuning
fork leadership in church music, it is
to be hoped, has gone by. BY all means
let the congregation sing when occa-
a rra, ,,tc hut al. -
talent that can be engaged give buoy
ancy to the service of song from the
choir loft.
Professor d. G. Johns has been pro-
ducing his new opera, Little Tottoon,"
Z IN the suburban towns hereabouts, and
when the company appears in this city
at the Academy few weeks hence 1t Is
presumed that the members will be
thoroughly conversant with their roles

Haydn Evans has returned from his
professional visit to Youngstown and
Painesville, Ohio, with good account
of the hospitality of his friends in those
cities. After adjudicating at the
Youngstown elsteddofd on Christmas
Mr.. Evans journeyed to Painesville and
gave an organ recital at st. James
church, and was followed by banquet
at the Cowles House, in honor of Mr..
Evans.
The guest of the evening was the
object of very enthusiastic toast, DUR
Ing which warm eulogy was passed
upon his musical skill. Speaking of his
adjudication at the eisteddfod the
Youngstown Telegram says:
Professor Evans, the talented young
man who officiated as adjudicator on
music, performed his exceedingly diff
ficult office with rare taste. His de-
cisions bore the stamp Of carefulness
and good judgment, and were always
applauded." t.+
