If only we had known in time we
might have begun the musical training
of our husbands and brothers and
''other brothers, as Mr.. Koehne ex-
presses it, by advertising the Rosenthal
concert as a high-class gymnastic per-
formance-this without disrespect to
Mr.. Rosenthal. Just say piano recital
above a whisper, one would think there
wasn't man on earth, and, with Fla-
tima's sister Anne might say, mo,
there is naught but line of dust in the
horizon only this time it would be a
receding not an advancing line.
1t is not often that a city of any size
can boast of theater party of $50
But Sacramento is equal to doing odd
things once in While when she makes
up her mind. In this case she did make
up a stupendous mind, with the above
result. The Saturday Club, her musical
representative, treated it's entire mem
bershlp list to delightful and instruct
i've evening en- the occasion of Mr.. Ros-
enthaPs first-let US hope it will not be
the disappearance here. will not at
tempt to give the names of the whole
theater party. If you want to know
very much just call at PurnslPs for the
Saturday Club list 1 noticed, however,
that the officers and executive board oc-
cupied a conspicuous place in the or
chestra. The President, Mrs Frank
Miller, was absent from the city. but
the Vice Presidents, Mrs Albert Elkus
and Mrs. Robert Hawley, and Treasurer
and Secretary Mrs Bentley and Miss
Obarr, and their advisory board, were
all there to represent in body the club
for which they have SO earnestly and
successfully 1abored during the past
five or six years.
AS l have before intimnted, the at
tendance was grievously lacking in
black coats-now, was that the reason
Mr.. Rosenthal found it such an intelii-
gent audience--lhere and there only be-
ing seen one lone courageous star, in a
setting of heavenly feminine beauty
Stir yourselves up a bit, brothers, and
show what you are made of. If you
don't like good music listen to it until
you do. It's like a growing taste for
olives-after a while you can't get
enough. Or would you rather have us
believe that you really do prefer Sousa s
Hot Time in the Old Town" with va
riations.
But setting music aside, there isn't a
man of you but would have appreciated
the immense strength and muscular de-
velopment necessary in the rendering of
the last number. Musically, it was not
specially pleasing, but physically it was
well it was great; excuse the slang.
So, girls, if we are to be- pianists let US
drop super1uous things and join one of
the ladies' classes now in formation at
the athletic school. Rosenthal could
punch ball all day and not know it
Here's conundrum: What Well
known dentist doss Rosenthal resemble?
If there is one thing more than an
other that is exasperating it is the
rustic and hustle and nervous wave that
runs all through an audience during
the last few measures of some delight
full last number. Now, ladies dear
pardon Mrs. Fairweather-do, I beg of
you, add one minute more to your even
ing's pleasure by folding your pro-
grams and putting on your hats after
the performance is over. If you don't,
you will help some of US on into a short
cut to nervous prostration.
By the way, isn't Mr.. Rosenthal
handsome? What do you think, Doc
tor? Typ.
