THE APoLLo CLUBS SEASON.

i +. The eleventh season of concerts by
the Apollo club will be inaugurated at
the First Baptist church Nov. %. A
small brochure, recently printed, which
contains practically history of the
club, reveals the fact that OF the thirty
five charter members of the organiza-
ton, over half Of the number are still
active part in it's concerts. The same
condition exists practically in the assoc
ciate membership. Since it's inception,
the Apollo club has been one Of the
most potent factors in the development
of the musical lifeTof the city. Fifty
four of the world s famous artists have
participated in the concerts; and tho.
the Obligations assumed season after
season have been enormous these ex--
penses have always been met by asso-
ciate members. -.
The active membership of the club at
present includes sixty, made up prin-
cipally from the business men Of the
city. The club is under the direction
of H. S. Woodruff, whose efforts of the
past few seasons have brought it So
much distinction. The programs for the
coming three concerts have already been
arranged and each will be distinctly

| cert, when that celebrated artist, Nine.
Wellingtor, of London, will appear for
| the first time in Minneapolis. The club
has made an excellent acquisition in the
engagement Of DR.. Rhys-Herbert as its
accompanist for the season: The other
concerts are to be held Feb. 20, at which
| Charlotte. MacoEda, a soprano favor
ably known in Minneapolis, will appear;
and April 3, when Mile, Freda Slender,
soprano, and Thaddeus, Rich, .violinist,
are to- be heard. :" r.. f..~.. Z
The fact that the Apollo club issues
but limited number of associate mem
berships for the season and disposes Of
no tickets for single concerts, has Gre
/ ated the impression that the club cor.
certs are not public events. This is
erroneous. Memberships can now be Sc

A NEW STORY OF EMMA EAMEs,

1t is one thing to be a great singer
with a glorious voice, great histrionic
ability, and beautiful face and fig

womanhood. It is still third to be

Emma Eames, who appears for the

forum Monday evening, Nov. 6, is the
embodiment of all three Of these pic
tiful. AS Marguerite in "Faust,' she
is the peer Of any opera singer the stage
has ever; known, if she be not, indeed,
the greatest. Her face and figure are

the patronness of young and budding
honors which she wears so lightly and

story which has never been told be-

The American tour Of Kubelik, the
famous Bohemian violinist, will be
quite different this year from that Of
four years ago. Then he was little
more than a boy, altho fire and genius
was his by right Of divine Inheritance.
Now he comes in a special car with
his Now wife, the Countess Czaly-Szell,
and his twin babies. Fortune has
smiled upon the child of genius indul-
gently, and the present tour will be
very different from that ever under
taken by another virtuoso. The coun-
tess is the scion of sone Of the oldest
and noblest houses in Bohemia, while
Kubelik himself is the child Of an OBJ
scure gardener. The marriage was the
