Department.
The lFst faculty concert of the sea-
son which will be the fifth in the
series, on Tuesday evening November
18th will be great musical event for
our town Each one of these concerts
has improved 10 beauty as they have
been given and one commences TO
wonder IL any improvement can be
| made upon the last. Mr.. VIM. Fl.
Sherwood is acknowledged TO be the
leading American pianist. He takes
a particular pridein being termed an
American pianist and in his program
be will give a special group OF Ameri-
can compositions. DR.. Hanchett OF
New York says there is no teacher IN
Europe or performer, nor any artist
that has ever visited this country that
is greater than Sherwood, even il as
great. Dean Wrightson wrote. him
and told him just what sort Of pro-
gram he wanted and he has sent him
one that will please everybody. Mr..
Anton Kaspar has also sent beanti-
full set OF numbers and he will be ac-
eompanied on the piano by Miss Mabel
Constance Foster, the official accom-
panist OF the School of Music. BY
special request be has consented to
play spanish Dances the number
he played at the last Of the historical
reeitals during the summer for which
he received such an outburst OF APP
plause when it was stated mo encores
would be allowed the rule had to be
broken and he was obliged TO respond
by repeating the number Tickets for
this concert will be placed on sale
Monday next, and will be fifty cents
APIECE. Members of the Choral Soci-
ETY. will have them and they can also
be secured at Dean Wrightson's office
at the School OF Music. The public
should not have to be urged to attend
these concerts when such risk is
taken IN engaging such artists who
have to be paid very high prices, and
when it is taken into consideration
that very few cities and none at all IN
West Virginia have the privilege Of
hearing such artists during the year.
CommencementIHap on that evening
should he crowded and we should show
our appreciation by allowing nothing
to interfere with our attending. 1t
has been very wisely said that If we
will not support the first OF the two
faculty concerts of this season, how
can Dean Wrightson expect US TO sup
port the Strauss ana Herbert concert
when such an enormous amount OF re-
sponsibility is being assumed, and it
is to be hoped the public will show
their appreciation of the efforts in
behalf by the School Of Music, whose
motto seems to be progression.
1t can be safely said these two ar
lists could not be heard in any other
city for less than dollar. We are
getting both Of them for f1fty cents.
Invitations have been issued by the
Dean of the School of Music TO all the
students in the school and members of
the Choral Society and TO the Glee
Club for complimentary recital to be
given in their honor on Saturdy after
noon at three O'Clock in the Recital
Hall. Professors Wertime, Spence
and Dean Wrightson will provide a
program and very pleasurable after
noofris anticipated.
Dean Wrightson is the recipient
this week of a present which he val
ues very highly. 1t is photograph
of Richard Strauss and his wife sent
to him direct from Berlin by Mr..
Strauss. He is going to have them
framed in the near futures and place
them on exhibition.
