RLTHOUGH but one line OF enter
~ tainment has been presented at /
the big play houses in the city I
during the past week, there has been =
no lack Of musical talent shown i'm /
somewhat smaller way, and the people /
have been appreciative, too, Of the I
talent that is Of the home kind. The /
concert given by the three young girls I
at the CONGREGATIONAL church Wednes- F!
day evening was a splendid musical I
event, and doubtless the only reason /
che house was not crowded with their /
friends. or at least one potent reason, /
Nas the fact they have all been so gem /
frOua in the giving Of their services for /
Tree entertainments" And right here /
urises the question as 10 what is quite /
fair i'm the matter of these free enter
tainments. Is IL true that they are all b
FOR the good OF the musical and music (
loving community or do they rather I
have a certain depreciating effect on I
the really good talent Of any communi- ]
tyT Looking at IL from a purely sem
timental standpoint, of course people /
are inclined to think that whatever can !
be given to the public which tends TO
benefit them in the lines of art is for
good But there is a commercial side
10 be reCtOned with. too. and after all
the years spent in preparation for a
life work that one puts into fair mu-
steal education is IL quite fair to give
always and require nothing in returL2
In the large cities of the east music of
the highest order is thrown before an
UnappreCiative public i'm large depart
ment shops I'm advertising schemes and
in many ways not artistic in them
selves. OF course there is much 70 De
said on both sides. but the fact re-
stated and indifferent when too much
of such talent is given 70 them for
nothing.
