These who attended the concert given
in Convention Hall on last Wednesday
could not fail to have been impressed
bv many things. The concert was tae
POINT appearance of the Pittsburg Or
ehestra and Emil Paur. Nine. Gadski,
the renowned Wagnerian soprano. and
the LEGAL chorus under the direction OF
Percey S. Foster.
The inadvisabiiity of combining the
first two attractions with an organiza-
ton purely local was manifest. Not
that the chorus is not well trained, even
" balanced and attractive in many
ways But the Washington public when
ii goes to hear such artists as Gadski
and such organization as the Pittsburg
Orchestra and Paur do not care TO hear
a local chorus or local artists whose ar
fistic standard cannot be compared with
the other participants.
This is not the first time when a great
artist has visited Washington and has
shared the program with local talent.
1t is an injustice to the professional
artists and does not always tend to
heighten interest In the performance
Mr. Fosters work with this chorus and
others has served to place him among
the notably successful conductors of
such organizations. but the chorus is not
a permanent institution, it has not had
the experience OF combining with great
singers, and the lack of regular rehears-
ais, added to a tendency to go its own
way irrespective of the directors baton.

The officers have just discovered a new
method Of smuggling liquor. A feanster
working on q railroad grade devised the
plan. He had two very large horse col

regular trips to Texas and every time
he would return the laboTers would get

day who have grown up without some
knowledge Of Anderseu's wonderful
fairy fancies. His rhetoric often
faulty, his syntax perceptibly bad in
many ways, Andersen never fails to
go straight to the heart of the imag-
ination Of child. His judgment and
beautiful simplicity not only In choice
OF subjects but in language reflect I'M
erringly the thoughts of babyhood.
Everything Andersen touches, whether
1t be an animate or inanlmate object
becomes In the mind Of the child at
once alive. The broom and the doll
are as much living creatures as the
cat The rag carpet is transformed
into a thing Of life. and not until long
after the glamour of the baby dream
has passed away do these inanimate
things take their proper and prosaic
places.
Andersen was born in the ancient
city of Odense, Denmark. April 2, 1905.
Nowhere I'm his earlier life had he any
material surroundings that gave prom

poor and shietless people and the boy

with the stage, and the happiest and

were in his fourteenth year. when he
