DAMRosCH NEXT WEEK.

Damrosch and his New York Sym
phony orchestra are to be In Mime
apolis Wednesday evening, Jan. "a, at
the Auditorium, and when the curtain
rises on this splendid organization, the
audience will see the largest body Of
men ever gathered together to give an
orchestral concert in this city. There
will be an entire complement Of eighty
one men all told, and this immense
orchestra is formed from the nucleus
which Walter Damrosch inherited from
his father, DR.. Leopold Damrosch,
twenty years ago.
The New York organization has,
within the last three years, been greatly
augmented. Forty New York citizens
fired with civic pride are behind it
financially. In 1908 1t was reorgan-
lied and additional players were Sc.
cured from among the finest musicians
to be found In the old world or the
new. The latest acquisitions are the
seven French woodward instrum entail
lists, whose advent into the orchestra
has made 1t one Of the finest If not the
very best organization Of its kind In
the world. From fifty concerts a sea.
son three years ago, the orchestra has
now come to play in nearly 800 concerts
year, and it Is the only symphony
orchestra which is kept together dur

KUBELIK's RARE vIoLINs.

= When Jan Kubelik, the celebrated
Bohemian virtuoso, comes for his re-
eital on Friday, Feb. he will. bring
with him his three famous violins, one
Stradivarils and two Amati. Thesein-
struments are known to connoisseursthe
world over and Kubelik's possession
Of them Is the envy Of every great
violinist. The Stradivarius once was
the property Of Ole Bull and is per-
haps the finest and most costly speci-
men Of it's make in existence. 1t has
further value in Kubeik's eyes thru
having been given to- him by Emperor
Franz Josef, Of Austria. The two
Amati are scarcely less historic. and
valuable than the "Strad. - sz=c.

When playing Beethoven, Bach, Mo

"FAUsTo. SANS CHORUS.

A singular performance of Faust"
took place at the Metropolitan opera
house, New York, last week. The.
chorus went on a strike, compelling
Mr.. Conried to give the opera with ex-
tensive cuts. The principal singers,
Eames and Caruso and Plancon, were
nervous over T. the omission Of the
choruses, but the enormous audience,
the largest Of the season, nevertheless
found the performance keenly enjoy.

!. Mr.. Oonried In his decision TO resist
the demands Of the chorus for an in

had the support Of the directors. After
the first scene in the opera, he stepped
to the front Of the stage and read.Wifh

the necessity Of presenting the opera
without chorus. FL. e.
He said: &C It is my conviction that
in the interest Of art and of, the pub
lie, which expects me to produce opera
in an artistic way, the manager of the
Metropolitan opera house must be free
to choose the singers, small or great,
by whom the repertory is interpreted.
In any case, I repeat, will not permit
labor union to dictate what artists
shall or shall not sing at this opera
house. I believe firmly that you and
all other intelligent opera-goers will
support me in this attitude Gap

In an instant there was mass Of fire
near the front of the stage. It lay
for several seconds threatening con-
Migration, and the audience at once
became uneasy.
At this moment Nine. Nordica, still
continuing her recitative as Brunn-
hide, stepped forward and trod on the
flames, setting fire to the edge Of her
skirt and scorching and burning her
sandals, but eventually putting out the
blaze. II 4. Y & lsl RE-
The action was one Of consid erable
peril for the prima donna, who was
clad in long, sweeping white draperies,
and was herself carrying "a lighted
torch, SO that she could not raise her
skirts to prevent them from igniting.
The audience gasped as they saw her,
still singing, standing directly over the
flames, which could be seen shooting
thru the .flimsy draperies.
Finally, when Nine. Nordica had con-
:quered the fire and had finished her
singing, the audience rose to its col.
llective feet and cheered her repeatedly
