The second of the series Of the Lenten
musicales was given yesterday at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. George Barker. The
attraction was the Chicago soprano, Gen.
evieve Clark Wilson. Mrs. Wilson sang a
number Of songs in her usual charming
manner. She is an artistic from whom much
was expected because she has great reputa-
ton. Her prominence in the musical cir
cles OF America warranted the audience in
expecting something very much above the
average. They were not disappointed. To
a naturally beautiful voice she adds an I'M
avoidable sweetness OF expression and a
poetic mentality. Mrs. Wilson is one Of the
real people one meets, and that sincerity
which rings through every line OF her work
is simply reflective Of the reality within.
1t is greatly to be deplored that there was
not an opportunity to hear her in the even
ing and at a place where many students
could be accommodated. To hear her is an
inspiration to the student.
Mrs. Wilson sang a long and varied pro-
gram, including Schumann, Saint-Saens,
Brahms and Henschel songs, Giordani, bal
lads of old Irish and old English and the
late lamented Ethelbert Nevin. Some mum
bers she was compelled to repeat.
Mrs. Andrews, a local organist of modest
personality and tremendous ability and
musicianship, accompanied the singer with
sympathetic skill.
Mrs. Crofoot played a few Chaminade
numbers most effectively and with her
usual tempermental style.

A paper has been received from Mrs. R.
c. Hills OF Missouri Valley, president of
the Treble Clef club, which is a very in
teresting organization over there, and
which presents programs from the works of
various composers, including a sketch OF
their lives, etc. The program at hand was
given over to the works of Sir Henry
Smart and Sir ASthur Sullivan.

The meeting Of Katherine Bloodgood and
B~andmRster Innes the carly part of the
week developed the fact that Innes had
made the first contract to bring Mrs. Blood
good out In concert. That was several
years ago when Mrs. Bloodgood, who had
just transplanted herself from California to
New York, allowed Innes, through mutual
friends, to persuade her to sing for him.
He engaged her on the spot. The next day,
however, she came to the conclusion that
she was not yet ready to go out In concert
and prevailed on him to release her. The
incident was recalled by both when they
exchanged greetings.

Musical
CONTINUED from Thirteenth Pase,)

to the orpheum bill last week by Katherine
Bloodgood that redeem vaudeville in these
days for the intelligent theater-goers by
lifting It out Of the common and insipid.
With her rich and powerful contralto. voice
Mrs. Bloodgood has the tone and quality
that makes her singing appeal to every
true music lover. The scant taste OF her
art afforded Omaha people in 1898. when
she participated in one of the delightful
musical programs for which the exposition
period will always be memorable in our
music circles, had left recollections holding
out promise Of rare enjoyment from her
return. which we're not a bit disappointed.
Her experience on the concert stage has
given her that forceful presence, which,
added to attractive personal charms and
tasteful costuming, made her appearance
the natural climax of the performance. The
real musical artist is disclosed as much In
the selection Of the songs as in the rendi-
ton. Mrs. Bloodgood sang during her week
in Omaha Hosanna, Genevieve, Star Of Ny
Life, the Low-Backed Car and several 9TH
ers. The peculiar fitness Of each piece to
her voice and range showed the scope OF
her power and the versatility OF her talent.
We do not believe a woman with such a
voice will stay long in vaudeville, although
this is Mrs. Bloodgood's second season. II
she clings to a professional career much
more substantial victories are before her.
