of Henri Marteau, the great French vio-
linist. His playing is of the kind that
counts and to have listened to him Is to
have stored away one more flaming mem
DRY to cheer less vital hours. What must
Marteau think of Omahal An arid waste
surely. Almost all of those who heard
him Thursday night already carried inn
pressions of his work, gained in foreign
capitals. They knew the sort of audiences
he was used to and blushed even more
than we to whom his career was less IA
miliar. However, be that as it may, Mar
teau showed his worship of his Art. by
playing his best to the little handful of
people in front of him and doing it with
grace.
There has been talk of a Gerardy recital
at the Lyric. 1t behooves his managers
to do some lively advertising and tell the
people here whether he is an educated
horse or a musician of international fame.
1t is sad but true that Omaha has yet to
form its aesthetic circle as apart from
gingerbread" circles. Here and there are
little groups of people who love TO know
about and study the things that are worth
while These moonlit ones do not yet con-
stitute a substantial patronage for Art.
We've got to have more students, more
poets, more dreamers. In this age of ALI
around competency II is becoming the
fashion for well bred, well educated people
to cultivate a taste for the beautiful.
Heaven forbid that appreciation of beauty
should ever fall to the depths of being
good form"-but good form" may rise
to the heights and put apart a niche of its
brains for cultivation of the spirit Nun

Mr. simms ana his chorus, the Musical
Art society, will make their last appear
ance at the First Christian church taber-
nacle (the new church on upper Farnam
street, Thursday evening, April 10.
The concert will be under the auspices of
the P1rsh Aid society and the object is
the starting of an organ fund. For the
last eight or nine years Mr.. Simms has
been doing splendid choir work at All
Saints l wonder how many people know
that his organ is only half as large as
the one at Trinity. Now that there is to
be new church and a new parish house,
Mr.. Simms feels II the organ should
be at least enlarged. He does not hope
for a new one at the present time. The
chorus will give the proceeds of its next
concert work to the forming of a nest egg.
This chorus, by the way, music lovers, is
doing charming woTk-fne work-and de-
serves all the encouragement possible.
Mr. Simms is very anxious to make it per-
manent Why not go and hear 1t on .he
