English soprano, who will then make
her first appearance before a Mime

first number will be grand opera ex-

THE "U' BOYS CONCERT

The concert which the University
Mandolin and Glee club will give Fri
day evening, Dec. 8, at the Auditorium
is not only engrossing the attention of
all the students of the university, but is
attracting notice from those not direct
ly interested in university circles. This
concert will undoubtedly be the best
the organization has ever given. The
leaders of both clubs are enthusiastic
over the prospects and their enthusiasm
has fired every member to do his best.
There is a concentration of effort which
is bound to bring the best results. .
Both Orriman Ely, leader of the glee
club, and Ray R. Knight, director of
the mandolin club, are seniors in the
department of medicine this year and
both have been prominently connected
with the organizations which they are
at present directing thruout their
course and have won their positions
thru merit alone. Mr.. Knight directed
the mandolin club last season so ably

She played the same part all last sea-
son, from Boston, Baltimore, New York
and Philadelphia to Kansas City, St.
Louis, Denver, everywhere receiving the
highest praise. She is now playing the
same role for the second season. But
tonight will be the first time she has
ever appeared in her home city:
On the program Miss Priests role is
described simply as Muggsy, a street
urchin. - Of all character parts, on the
musical comedy stage, hers is the most
difficult to describe. Dressed in the alb
breviated skirts Of a child of the back
streets, with many patches and torn
places in the skirt, and wearing hat
that no milliner would dare describe,
she comes on the stage at the least ex-
pected moments. She is looking for
Mike, her "steady.' There has been
one Of those love affairs that Woolf
loves to picture between her and Mike.
But Muggsy is romantic. She is al
ways trying to throw the glamor of
romance over her love affair. She has
read about Lady Guinevere and the
prince, and she insists upon imagining
her love affair as grand thing as the
romance of the prince and Lady Guine-
we're. In mock heroic voice she reads
from her tattered paper backed volume
about Lady Guinevere-and asks for a
dill pickle.
Mike turns out to be six-foot indi
vidual "with the heart of chicken
and the brains of rabbit,' according
to her own description.
That s about all there is to the part
of Muggsy but Miss Priest makes il
stand out as one Of the brightest spots
in a performance that has many splen
did situations and half a dozen unique
and strongly individualized characters
MISS Priest says she is on the stage
for good. Why's
"I can make more money! she de
clares, "by acting than by working or
a newspaper-and yet not work half SC
hard The opportunities for success are
far greater on the stage and the life il
pleasant
She is ambitious and another yea
undoubtedly will see her at the head o:
a theatrical company.

that he was unanimously chosen again
to that honor.
After the program of the. first part
the stage will be converted into col
lege room or something similar, where
g stunts" may be introduced. Last
year the stunts furnished most enjoy
able part Of the program, but with the
talent at present in the clubs and the
new stunts that have been planned,
there is no question as to their success
and popularity. There is one stunt
which is creating the greatest curiosity.
Indeed, all the members of the clubs
are not CON- tho most Of them have
fairly clear idea as to it's nature. No
outsider, however, has the slightest ink
ling as to it's nature, its performers or
intention. In the meantime rehcarsals
are being held two or three times a

THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS.

The advanced pupils Of the dramatic
department Of the johnson School Of
Music, Oratory and Dramatic Art will
present three plays at the school audi
torium on Monday evening, Dec. 4. At
this dramatic recital, two comedies and
society drama, all popular one-act
plays, will be given. These plays offer
splendid opportunities for clever work
on the part of the pupils and will no
doubt be artistically and pleasingly put
on. The plays have been rehearsed by
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Holt and are
now rapidly rounding into the. best
shape. Several musical numbers will be
given by students in the school. Those
taking part are Rodman Oshier, Walter
Hale, Joseph Holicky, Harry Montague,
Harrison Thompson, Eta Farnsworth,
Elizabeth Gerard, Vera Dahlstrom,
Hazel Buckham, Alice O'Connell and
Beatrice johnson.

20 be a piano artist seems to
be about the most thankless
artistic position to which one

can aspire. Heel and toe
specialties are worth big sums of
money, but with the possible exception
Of one or two, one Of whom will never
play again, there ism It a single pianist
before the public today who could call
out more than corporal's guard in
the fair city of Minneapolis.
Nine. Rive-King, who for years has
been an artist of renown, and who has
played with distinguished success all
over the civilized world, was greeted
with houses here recently which num-
bered scarcely 100 people each, and
more virile and we'll equipped player
before the public today, and whose
playing is noted for it's art, met per-
haps 200 at his recent recital.
But it is not the pianists only who
are meeting with such disappoint-
ments. Other artists are appearing be-
fore empty seats. The Shakspere Cycle,
given in Plymouth church last Tuesday
evening, coming under the patronage
of the Thursday Musical, was greeted
with an audience so slim that it caused
blush to rise to the cheeks of those
! who were sponsors for the affair. The
name of Bispham is one to conjure with.
His singing is a revelation, and the
acme of artistic effort, and yet on that
occasion at least he was not welcomed
by the throngs such an effort, deserved.
As result the Thursday Musical will
| have to shoulder the financial burden,
and Minneapolis is likely to lose more
than one opportunity to hear things
that are really good.
This city reads, and knows that grand
opera artists are stellar attractions
that to- be in the swim people must
hear them, and the result is that
fashion and not merit is the winning
card. Vogue and not art is the watch
word. Those things which go to make
for the best in efforts, long years o,
preparation, mental equipment, quail
fications which are essential to sue

things is not peculiar to Minneapoli

Profits Of the Packers.

There has been a great zeal OF dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the pack
Ing industry only amount to about two
per cent. on the volume of business
transacted. There is no doubt, how
ever. that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust begun,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the ensuS that
the packing industry is conducted on a
smaller margin Of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross
margin of profit of ST. -four and grist
mills in Illinois, in the census year.
was nearly sever per cent. on the vol
ume of business. The gross margin Of
ffty-one wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing establishments in Illinois
was only about onc-third as large, or a
little more than two per cent. on the
volume of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in q trust" and combiaa-
tons would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but it ap-
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits OF
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: All
