The National Conservatory of
Music, founded by Mrs. Jeannette NJ.
Thurber in 1885, and chartered by the
United States Government in 1891, has
received three new scholarships to be
awarded at the nineteenth semi
annual entrance examinations, which
will be held at 12S East Seventeenth
street, New York, on January 4. One
of them is for voice, one for the piano
and the third for the violin. They
will be given to students who have no

splendid possibilities of the old Olym-
pia were so long undiscovered. AS it
now is the opera house is one of the
most admirably suited to its purposes
that could be devised. But therein
also is lost a music hall that would
have placed San Francisco on level
in this regard with almost any city
in the United States. The acoustics
are ideal. One can hear, as in the
Greek Theater at Berkeley. the light
est sound made by the performers
from the farthest seat in the topmost
gallery of the house. The view of the
stage also is practically perfect from
all parts of the auditorium. Let US be
thankful, however, for an opera house
fit to house Grau-or rather Herr Con
ried-and nll his stars and destined
surely to make history that will make
us all very pridefu' OF.
The question is now as to whether
there is another Olympia going to
waste. 1t is hardly likely though.
Such opportunities don't offer twice
In the meantime, however, the Tivoli

it is the only place for the symphony

Scheel, beginning March next. had
hoped, by the way, to be able to give
particulars as to the symphony con-
certs this week. Affairs, however, are
still too unsettled for any but the
definite information that they are to
be given through the efforts of a
number of music-loving citizens who
are working strenuously to that end.
But one can imagine the "Pathetique"

will sing in the Pavilion. One under
stands this only as the new Tiyoli was
not begun when her arrangements
were made. But one would like to
hear the famous singer under the most
favorable circumstances, which means
the Tivoli. In fact, there is nothing
musical that would not gain immeas-
urably from the sumptuously grateful
setting. The Tivoli is San Francisco's
most precious gift to music for many
years, worthy to be bracketed with
that splendid gift of the year to the
sister art-the Greek Theater at
Berkeley.
