exceeding hot weather. Why should not
an easy chair and bit OF breeze conspire
toward concentration instead OF lazinessv
The world surely moves and we are all get
ting different and better notions about
things The following comment from the
Chicago Tribune gives q little summary
OF the history OF hot weather music.
Theodore Thomas appears as prophet in
a new field. What wonderful man he was!
He seemed to see years ana years ahead.
This season his idea OF beautiful summer
music seems TO have come TO pass in HIS
adopted city. Perhaps some day Omaha
will arrive at a point which will warrant
the services of a good orchestra the year
round. (Which reminds me that even good
bands are minus In the public parks this
yearl:
Nearly half a century ago Theodore
Thomas undertook to give summer music
10 New York City. His Central park gar
den concerts, while seemingly popular.
were not financially profitable. They con-
tinued through several years, and were
maintained because they were part Of his
scheme of higher music, and to carry out
that scheme Ii was necessary to keep his
orchestra together by giving IL employ
ment the year round. Summer music was
abandoned, however, in New York, when
Mr.. Thomas decided 10 come TO Chicago,
His decision 10 come was largely based
upon his experiences with summer music In
the exposition building concerts. Appar-
entity popular as these were, and enjoy.
able as they always were, stin they were
also financially Improbable, though they
helped to ingratiate Mr.. Thomas 10 such
an extent with lovers of good music in
Chicago that Il led 10 his permanent resi-
dence, ana that led, in a manner familiar
to all 20 his securing a permanent, en-
bowed and pensioned orchestra IN its own
home before his labOrs nnally ceased.
The summer season OF music, however,
has not had permanent prospects either In
New York or Chicago until now. In the
former city II looks as II Il might be reg
ular feature In the future In Chicago the
prospect Is still more favorable. There are
now seven series OF summer concerts going
on prOsperously-at the White City, the
Sans SOucl, the Coliseum, the Casino, the
Bismarck garden, Riverview ana Ravinia
park. Al each OF these resorts there are
daily concerts. not by scratch organiza-

There are ever 80 many people in America
who remember Alice Nielsen when she

been studying abroad for several years.
and the last season or two has been singing
in London, both at Covent Garden and the

and broadened. She now ranks with the
