CONCERT BY ARTISTS
Miss schade, Mrs. Hartmann and Mr..
Kerr Give Pleasing Performance. +

The concert given at Park Avenue
Congregational church last evening by
Miss Marie Schade, pianist; Mrs. Flor
ence Hartmann, soprano, and U. $.
Kerr, basso, deserved larger audience.
Miss Schade has exceedingly bril-
liant technique and good style, but
her playing was cold and Unconditional.
She has a certain amount of feeling
for the poetic, but is lacking in tho
passionate or fervid side of her art
Her finger and octave work were fine,
and from the standpoint. of technique
she is worthy of only praise. She gave
Grieg, Chopin, List and Mcdowell
selections.
Mrs. Hartmann showed what Miss
Schade neutrality-suspicious. and a
conception of the dramatic. Her voice.
tho not large, is musical and the up
per register is especially good. Her
singing showed thought and sincere eff
fort to bring forth the meaning of
the song. Her Interpretation Of the
French songs was especially rtistic
and delightful, and her selections, too,
were mostly away from the usual songs
that pave the program way: One OF
her best numbers was "Hai LULU by
Coquard, showing both her vocal pow
ers and her dramatic insight to the
best advantage.
U. s. Kerr achieved his usual sue
cess with a Minneapolis audience. Mr..
Kerr's work has improved greatly in
the last year, and he is singing with
more artistry and style, and he has
lost to large extent some of the OBJ
jectionable mannerisms which former
1y detracted from the pleasure his
beautiful voice gave. Rhys Herbert
accompanied Mr.. Kerr.

APPRECIATES THE RESULT
Minneapolis Man Away from Home Is
Proud of Election Result.

HI. Gillum, living at 70S University
avenue Sc, was not able to be in MIN
ncapolis for the primary election, but
there is little doubt about how he
would have voted had he been here. He
has written to W. L. Harris how the
result struck him. Mr.. Gillum says:
"Memphis, Tenn, Sept. %, 1906.
"W. L. Harris, Minneapolis, Mimi.
"My dear Mr.. Harris have just
received a copy Of the Minneapolis
Journal in which I see that Minneap-,
oils has again shown her desire to stand
for good government and, as near as
possible, for "civic righteousness. - I
also see in a previous issue Of the
same paper an extract from an intro
ductory speech made by yourself at the
Auditorium meeting. Now, I want to
say right here from one who knows,
and who has gone thru the mill to a
certain extent, that Minneapolis ought
to be proud of her ''business citizens'
who have had the courage to stand up
for the civic integrity Of their COM
munity. They will never know, they
cannot know, unless they get around
like myself and see, the difference be-
tween Minneapolis and other towns,
fore what it all means. There is one
thing I feel that I must touch on and
that is the influence for good which
you business men have shown in not
only going to the polls and voting, but
in lifting up your voices for that which
stands for vigorous Americanism, and
citizenship. It is un-American to
have gambling houses open and to have
saloons open on Sunday, and it is just
as essential to build up the character
Of our community as it is to try to
build I'D our private characters.
