Herbert and His Orchestral.
Viewed from 4 musical standpoint the
past week was conspicuous only for the
appearance of the Bohemian vioIinist,
Jan Kubelik, whose recital at the Column
bia Theatre Friday afternoon brought out
even a larger audience than that which
attended the initial local appearance OF
the young artist few weeks ago. Society
is ever ready to respond to the call of
genius, and the audience OF Friday was a
notable one; but though large contin-
gent of the ultra fashionable coterie of
the Capital was present in boxes and
chairs, almost the entire music-loving
public of Washington was there to ap-
plaud Kubeliks wonderful skill
Washington wants good music and no
greater proof of this is necessary than
the generous patronage which the local
public accorded Kubelik at both concerts.
So great has been the demand for such
high-class entertainment as the young
Bohemian offers that arrangements are
being made for still another Kubelik re-
to be hoped he will give programme more
worthy of himself and the Washington
musical public.
On Friday afternoon, January II. there
Will be piano, song, and violin recital
IN the ballroom of the New willard The
interpreting artists will be Miss Co:nelia
Dyas, pianiste; Mrs. Dyas- -Standish. So

rectress of music at the National Cathe-
dral School Mrs. Dyas-S -Standish is sail to

Through the untiring efforts of Percy

the musical centre which the Capital of
the nation should be. for Mr.. Foster con-
fident that if good attractions could be
brought here, the local public would sup
port them. has been instrumental in giving
resident musicians an opportunity to
hear Kubelik, the seasons sensation, and
now the coming Of the Pittsburg Orches-
ira under the direction of Victor Her
bert looms up on the musical horizon
as Joy in store.
The recitals by this ncted organization
last winter proved highly successful from
every viewpoint. and their two events of
the present season will undoubtedly be
thoroughly enjoyable.

three permanent Orchestras in the
country, ard was founded by public
spirited men of PittsDurg by whom it is
supported. It's incentive came when An

its growth has been remarkable. A proof
of the great success which attended the

the figures shown by the receipts, which
amounted to $4,000, all of which. with
the exception of S1S, 600, was paid by the
