The ladies OF the Thursday Musicale
are anticipating one Of the greatest treats
of the season Dec. 16, when Mr. and
Mrs. William M. Cross, assisted by a
chorus Of local singers will present the
"Manfred,' Byrons we'll known drama,
with musical accompaniment by the great
composer, Schumann. Critics differ as to
the original source of this work. Many
believe that the character Of Manfred is
but q loose incognito of Byron, that Man
freds torture, remOrse and yearnng for
oblivion had their counterparts in By
Ion'S own heart. Others think that the
idea of the poem was inspired by Goethe's
'Taust." 1t is certain that the drama
was written at time Of bitterness and
trouble in the poets life when. expelled
from English society, he was travelling on
the Rhine and in Switzerland The poem
is in three acts whose scenes are all laid
in the Alps. Manfred who is the central
figure Of the poem is a magician Of great
power and learning who Wanders through
the mountains consumed with sorrow and
remorse for the wrongs and suffering he
had inflicted upon Astarte, the one being
he had loved and whose death he had
caused. He seeks forgetfulness and to
this end invokes the aid of the powerful
spirits Arimanes and Nemesis and finally
the shade Of Astarte herself. How Man
fred finds forgetfulnesss in death is told
in the last scene. in passages of wonderful
power and beauty.
The work lends itself we'll to dramatic
Interpretation, but is not practicable for
presentation on the stage. With Schu-
mann's beautiful and dramatic music, it
is most effective as melodrama The en-
tire. recitation is accompanied by music,
either instrumental Or vocal. The musi-
Gale is to be congratulated that it has the
opportunity Of hearing this work, which
is of such magnitude and difficulty that
it is seldom given.
The affair was arranged primarily as
a treat to the club. Any member will be
given a ticket Of admission by applying
to the clerk mornings at the studio Real
izing that there would be general de-
mand to hear the work, the club has put
tickets for the public on sale at the Met

Thus is cast out the shallow pleasure of

in forcing itself to the front even with
many musicians of otherwise good taste.
Chamber music is -eminenty culture
music it can be taken in it's original
forms into every home. wherever from two
to half dozen players Of the violin family
or the piano can be gathered together.
In this is its great advantage over Orches-
tai choral works, which, like paintings,
can only rarely be experienced in a few
pOpulous centers. The culture value of
chamber music is quite like that of our
time-tried books. which we return to
again and can enjoy without the aid of an
elocutionist.

Cuba and the United States May Get

Washington, November 10. The officials
here are not sure that any reciprocity
treaty with Cuba which Minister Squlcrs
may draw up will have TO be submitted 10
the Cuban house OF representatives, but
they incline TO the opinion that 81 will be.
II this should be the case reorganization
by q majority hostile, undoubtedly would
postpone indefinitely the consummatiou OF
a treaty. The administration already has
taken into consideration what Il regards as
a strong probability that Cuba and the
United States may get along for . consider
able period without any more definite trade
relations than now exist. Violations Of tho
Plat amendment by cuba In net or spirit
will be scarcely considered as sufficient
cause for immediate Intervention by the
United States, owing 10 the prevailing opin-
ion that the responsibility for the Observ-
ance of that act lies with the Cubans them
selves since they have incorporated II IN
their National constitution. or course this
attitude OF nonaction by the United States
government will not apply in case any for
eigu counry seeks TO come between the
United States and Cuba.
