next Thursday afternoon. when a
kind of public links" is to be given by
the famous club. Though they will not
have their cOlumned amphitheater, nor
the scented gloom of the grove at
Guerneville. they are TO give to the
public ear some of the melodies that
have so far echoed only therein. 1t has
been decided that it was unkind 70 both
the composers and local music lovers
to allow these compositions to remain
practically unknown. Last year. it will
be remembered. Fritz Scheel pro-
duced with much success portions Of
DR.. H. ]. Stewards "Montezuma," the
musical setting of the high jinks"
drama by Louis J. Robertson, and it
was probably the interest shown there
in that determined the BOhemians to
give the affair of next Thursday. Not
only will ''AIontezuma" be given, but
selections from the preceding years
festival music by Joseph d. Redding,
together with this years music done by
W. ]. Mccoy. The composers will con-
duct in each case, and there will be a
picked orchestra of sixty men at their
service. The formation of the orchestra
has been left in the competent hands Of
Mr.. Redding.
One hears very good things Of Mr..
McCOy's setting Of The Hamadryads,"
this years drama. There is, am as
sured, some charming choral writing in
the work. striking Professional
March," a fine "Supplication" and a
stunning symphonic overture. 1t is
worth mentioning that Paul Steindorf
is among my informants. Indeed. Mr..
SteindOrff put it that hardly too high
praise" can be given to some parts OF
the Mccoy work.
Then there are to be further fasci-
mating condolences in the shape OF
readings from the links" books of the
last three years. One can hear music
any day-but theset And the affair il
10 be a genuinely public one. The
members Of the club have been re-
stricted in their purchase Of tickets to
four apiece and tomorrow morning the
remainder will be placed on sale at the
TivOh box office, the prices to be: For
the top gallery 81 and for the rest Of
the house. with the exception of pri-
vate boxes, 81. The business side Of
the entertainment is in the hands Of

Spring Song" Too much praise can
not be given to the enterprise of the
Orpheum in engaging such people as
the Heinrichs. The Accomplishments
of Max Heinrichs are alone worth
going for. and his genial artist song
is yet another of the precious things Of
the concert stage Miss Heinrichs is
also highly accomplished singer. her
charming personality adding not a lit
tie to the pleasure given by her fine
voice and cultivated method. 1t speaks
rather well for O'FarreH street that the
Heinrichs' efforts are meeting with the
warmest appreciation.
