A Feast Of
Music Tonight.

1t has been said by one of the great
est thinkers OF the present day, that
this is the age OF pleasure. Any any
one who has noticed the tendency of the
modern stage, will agree with this phi
losopher. that it is only those plays that
have an element of humor in them in
large degree, that are money makers for
their authors and managers. The same
fact holds true i'll the world of music
and art, and is recognized by all shrewd
managers, who make up their programs
with reference to the taste of cultivated
but pleasure-loving audiences. In small
organizations, the tendency is to give a
variety Of pleasing numbers, so arranged
as to present something to please and
and interest any audience of average
musical cultivation.
Such organization is the 'Schumann
Company which appears at the opera
house to night. The organization con-
sists OF company of artists OF recne
nized ability, who have been before
the public for several successful
seasons. At the head OF the organiza
ton is Miss Edith Adams, who is
acknowledged by the best musical critics
to be the greatest woman violencellist
in the United States today.
Miss Grace Chaliear Caborn, the So
prano organization, studied under F. w
| Root OF Chicago, and is singer whose
reputation is we'll known. She has been
especially praised for her rendering OF
such operate selections as the polonaise
from "Mignon," and similar selections
from other grand operas.
Miss Charlotte Tarrant has been
| specially engaged as the solo harpist
with the schumanns for the present
season. The mere fact that she was tor
| two years with the New York symphony
orchestra, and then for two seasons was
the solo harpist with the Boston sym
| phony orchestra, is sufficient testi-
| monial as to her professional and ar
tistic standing.
Miss Zulieme Searles Bolkcom, the
talented elocutionist and dramatic artist,
is also with the organization this season
her selections proving pleasing novelty
in connection with the musical numbers
of the other members Of the company
Miss Bolkcom stands at the head of her
profession, and her fire and earnestnese
invariably delight her audiences. Be-
sides being a beautiful and talented girl,
Miss Bolkcom is trained business wo-
man and is the acting manager of the
company, personally attending to all the
details of business which arise during
the long tours each season.
