the very highest praises not only In this
country, but in Europe, from all COM
petent judges.
! The Schubert club considers itself
very fortunate to have secured H e.
Krehbiel, of the New York TRIBUNE,
one of the best known authors and
musical critics in the world, for a
| series Of three lectures on musical
subjects. Mr.. Krehbiel is an easy, nde-
lightful speaker, pouring out from q,
seemingly ineXhaustible fund of knowl-
edge wealth of informa ton which one
, scarcely realizes, so natural is the
flow of his language. Believing that
these lectures will be of great e5luca-
tional advantage, it has been decided
to make all three of them free to the
members. The first, entitled "How to
Listen to Music" will be given at
Ford Music hall Saturday, April 20. at
p. m. Persons not members of the
club can secure reserved seats at the
box office. The Illustrations for this
lecture are entirely instrumental, and
will be furnished by Miss May Strong,
whose artistic playing upon the piano
SllJOydDle. Inc second lee
ture, entitled Dramatic Dances and
Children's Games" will occur Tuesday
afternoon, April %, at Ford's, taking
the place of the regular club musicale
for that week. This lecture will also
be open to the public at a low price
AS the club now has 800 members, how
ever, only about that number of out
siders can be accommodated. The IL
Illustrations for the lecture will be fur
nisffed by a group of children, who
will play some of the well-known Eng
lish round games. Several folk songs
Will be sung by one or more members
OF the club. The third lecture will be
given Thursday evening, April 25, at
the same place, and will be entirely
an invitation affair. Each member will
be permitted to invite one guest. The
Illustrations will be furnished by Mrs.
{. b. Yale and A. P. Quesnel.
The musical world, as represented by
st. PauPs best citizens, is agog over
the splendid musical organization which
is to appear in their finest repertoire
at the Peoples church, May l and 2
the famous Theodore Thomas Chicago
orchestra of sixty-two soloists, under
the leadership of the great Thomas
himself. The great orchestra is meet
ing with its usual welI-deserved sue
cess In its present tour of the principal
American cities and is scoring triumphs
everywhere.
Among those gifted soloists who will
appear with the orchestra in the ST.
Paul concerts special mention might
be made of Miss Fanchon Thompson
contralto, and Max Bendix, violinist.
Both are true artists in the highest
sense Of the word. Miss Thompson
has beautifully toned contralto voice
of extreme range and wonderful sweet
ness, and has been the rage in all the
cities where she has appeared with the
Thomas orchestra during the past win
ter. Max Bendix has divided the hon
ors fairly in drawing the sweetest
strains from his favorite instrument
and vies with the greatest violinists
of the present day. Both Miss Thomp-
son and Mr.. Bendix will assist the or
, chestra in both st. Paul concerts and
will be a musical treat In themselves.
To hear the great Thomas orchestra
is to hear the finest stringed instru-
| ment Organization in America, if not in
| the world.
The Seibert concert this afternoon
| at the Metropolitan opera house will
close the series of Sunday afternoon
concerts that have always been so pop
| ular. The special attraction this after
| noon will be Miss Nellie Wilde, So
prano soloist who makes her first
| public appearance today. The other
soloists are Mrs. Carrie Smith and
