Calve is posing as Marguerite il
| Faust before New York audiences, anC
the critics are alleging that her emo
tional acting is on the hysterical order
| Calve is too heavy both in figure anc
voice for the artless, lyrical, spirituelle
tender voiced Marguerite.
The Tucson Citizen in giving Grau's
Opera company notice, prints Della
Fox's picture for that of "Alice Garlic
the great contralto. " This is a case Of
bald headed imposition. You can't foo
the people in this country with Della's
picture for some other woman.
Sousa and his great band played in
ST. Louis the other evening, and
strange to say, hardly over 200 people
were present, when many time has
that exposition hall contained 1000
people when Sousa played there before.
However, the audience made up for Its
lack of numbers by it's enthusiasm.
The latest advices from Paris advise
parents strongly to keep their unpro-
tected American girls at home, and
correspondents are amazed at the sim
plicity of Americans in thus throwing
away the safe guards of the morality
for their daughters. There are just as
good instructors in America as in
France, and the mere name of having
studied abroad hardly compensateS
for the risks run.
The concert for the benefit of the Ell
Paso library on February Sth next,
promises to be an attractive affair.
The program will include male quar-
tette, a duo from Mr.. and Mrs. Rose, a
tenor solo from Mr.. Davenport, a
soprano solo from Mr.. Brown, while
at the piano two of FL Paso's greatest
artist will appear in Mrs. Joseph
Goodman and Miss Florence BealI.
The piano numbers alone will be worth
the price of admission. There will also
be an attraction in two individual
dances, one from little girl in ballet.
Mr.. Kingrey of Telluride, Colorado,
is valuable addition to the McGinty
band, as B bass player, and Mr.. De
Reimer has sufficiently mastered the
intricacies of his bassoon to take his
chair regularly in the band. The
present city marshall of Telluride,
fine baritone player, is anxious to move
to this climate, and as he is furniture
man, the local furniture men are asked
to give him a show when a chance Oc-
ours in their blishments. This is
another way, Ell Paso business men
can help the band by giving musicians
Achille Errani, the noted vocal
teacher died recently in New York at
10 years of age. Errani came to this
country from the land of olive oil and
maccaroni after earning reknown in
Europe, starred for many years on this
size, skipped out for South America
and Mexico during the war to avoid
the draft, and successfully taught
many well known American warblers,
such as Minnie Hauk, Emma Abbott,
Emma Thursby, Jennie Van Zanet,
Emma Stone, and whole raft of other
Emmas. Errani charged ten dollars a
lesson and had mis- hands full most of
the time-of work, as well as money.
The old man did know his business.
Professor Smith, the organist of st.
Clements church gives another one of
his enjoyable recitals next Friday
night at the church. The professor is
such fine performer that the church
ought to and no doubt will be crowded.
The entire McGinty band ought to
take night off, and attend. The
program will be carried out as already
published, except that the ''Oh for the
wings of dove" number will have
some other selection substituted for it:
aud speaking of this ''Oh for the wings
of dove" New York congregation
positively palsied, by hearing a Ger
man tenor sing the same from the or
gan loft, "Hoh for der veenks ohf
dOhfe.'
'sWhat has become of the Ell Paso
Ladies' QUARTET" This is a question
that is being often asked. The quartet
of warblers scored great reputation
for themselves and justly became
marked favorites. But when Miss
Trumbull, the first soprano. left for
the north, the establishment seemed to
be broken up. The remaining trio
spoke of the difficulty of getting to
gether to practice, as a great big
obstacle in the path; but the public has
become so interested in the quartet
that it does seem as if this difficulty
might be overcome. The girls could
without effort find a strong soprano
voice to take Miss Trumb bulls place,
and it would not be long before the
quartet secured an enviable reputation
for their work all through this part of
the country. Let the Ell Paso Ladies'
quartet be kept up.
The McGinties are getting down
onto their musical brass tacks these
days, and have sufficient enthusiasm
to devote two lights in the week to
practice. The band has studied this
winter, quIGe repertoire OF music,
including, Semiramide, Stradella, the
List Second Rhapsody, overture to
and selections from the Bohemian Girl
Funeral March of a Mariouet, tn e
Wedding music from Lohengrin, and
other operate pot-pourris, marches, etc.
and by May when the plaza concert
season opens will have other selections
added to the list. Quite number of
the above scores were presented to the
band by appreciative friends; and by
the way, this is good practice that
might we'll be kept up. The club man
agement is under a constant expense
| to maintain this fine organization that
has come to be a credit to the city and
in fact, to the state. Other towns are
not backward in coming forward to
