MR.. FRIERMoop's SUCCESS.

The friends of Mr.. Friermood, who was
prominent member of Birmingham
musical set. will be interested In his
plans for the winter and in the artistic
success of his recent rectals, the Mail
and Times of Des Moines containing the
following:
Mr. G. O. Friermood will organize a
class for the study of the German song
literature; beginning with the works of
Schubert, Schumann, and extending to
the Won Fielitz and Richard Strauss
songs of the present day. Mr.. Friermood
will illustrate these talks by singing
some of the most important, works of
the composers. This will afford rare
opportunity to the music lover as well
as the student to become familiar with
these great song writer's. The class will
hold weekly meetings at the Des Moines
Conservatory of Music.
Mr. Friermood made his debut as a
singer before a select and critical audi
ence at the Chamberlain Thursday eve
ming In a programme that would have
been severe test of any singer. That
Mr.. Friermood came off with the con-
CALCULATIONS of music lovers and profess
sional musicians alike was something that
is not always granted to a singer on his
first appearance. Five Schubert num-
bert numbers were given, including the
splendidly dramatic Group of Tartarus,"

best and proved himself an artist at the
beginning of the programme. 1.-THE

phrasing In the latter being pronounced
wonderful by musicians. Encores were
called for on several numbers, but after
the closing song, "Three for jack by
Squires, 1t was insisted upon. Mr. Frier-
mood played his own accomplishments
and this brought him more compliments.
his musicianly qualities being thereby
brought out The recital was attended
by about 125 prominent people, qualified
to criticise. and they went away prais-
ing.
The old Apollo club is to be reorgan-
lied. 1t has been suspended for seven
years. but now promises to come to life
and do some work. Interest in 1t was
started after the Friermood recital on
Thursday evening, and several of the
prominent old members asked Mr. Rui-
frok to take steps to reorganize the club
with Mr.. Friermood as the director. Hay-
