musician the other day, that the dear
public looks upon musicians, singers, par
ticularly, in the light of a general loan
fund, devoid of restrictions, to be drawn
upon freely for charitable purposes. If
the singer intimates in any way that he
has his living to make by his voice and
must demand compensation for his time
and effort the public is aggrieved and
either sulks- or cuts the impertinent mu-
sician. Demands for free services come
from those Interested in charities, as a
rule, but how broad is that word ''char-
/ ity." It covers a multitude of institu-
lions, from a hospital for children down
to a society for the mental Improvement
of its members. No woman would think
of calling for the services of a lawyer or
doctor without expecting to give some
compensation in return. Yet the musi-
clan has liad.tc expend as much money
on his training as has the doctor or the
lawyer. His music is as much means
of livelihood to him as the Doctors or
the lawyers practice is to them. When a
musician first comes 10 a strange town
he expects that q certain amount of I'M
compensated public work will be de-
lnanded OF him, and indeed, is neces-
sary in order to secure him foothold in
the city. But that does not mean that
his free granting of his services should
go. on forever and ever. l may be pre-
jlldieed but it seems to me that the st.

81 am glad to see,' continued the mu-
stefan in Il more cheerful tone. that the
public has apparently decided to devote
some of it's time to matters musical this
season. The attendance at the various
concerts given last week was uniformly
good. OF course; the storm nterfered
somewhat with the Perry concert Mon
day night, but in spite of the elements,
there was a fair sized audience at the
Peoples church. The Colville recital and
the Krieger recital both drew large audi
enees. / understand that the musical
clubs of ST Paul might have obtained
Perry for another concert last week.
am surprised that the Schubert club did
not have him play for them. His piano
work is,eXcellent, and the little talks he
gives to explain the various compositions
would have been of great benefit 20 the
student members of the club.
Mime Urso realizes the mission of her
art-to uplift and inspire-and she makes
her message so clear that all can hear,
and all can love and appreciate her music,
says a recent press notice concerning
Nine. Urso, the violinist, who gives a
concert Friday evening at the Park Con-
gregational church. Her playing satisfies
heart, ear and mind, and her dignitied
manner is a fitting example for many
other violiniStS.
She stands, quaint little figure. SO
quiet, and with absolutely no mannerisms
of any kind, demonstrating that true ex-
preston is manifest without effort by the
musician who has it in his own soul.
Her playing has breadth, passion and
fire, but it also has beautiful poetic
charm Her tone is superb, rich, warm
and with wonderful color, and her bow
ing broad and free. The pianissimos
seem like breath, and yet are still dis
tinctly audible and resonant.
Her phrasng is extremely beautiful and
her aecertuation and rhythm delightful.
She, is great artist in every sense of the
word.
