STUDIO RECITAL
Entertainment in Belasco Apart
nent PleaSes Her
Audience.

Studio musicales, when they are given
under the proper auspices, are really
the most interesting and delightful Of
their kind, and the series which Mrs.
susanne Oldberg is giving in her studio
at the .Belasco are a genuine innova-
ton.
Mrs. Oldberg gave the third recital
last Friday afternoon. when she pre-
sented "a joint program with Harry H.
Campbell. bass soloist of the Fourth
Presbyterian Church.
one is always sure to hear not only
one. but many. novelties on Mrs. Old
berg's programs, and that of last Fri
OIdberg has the happy faculty OF get
ting away from tbs beaten path even
in the character Of her selections and
her remarkably enlightening method Of
reading is always a pleasure The i'll
sight which she gave her audience into
the songs making up her part OF the
program was not the least feature OF
these numbers.
Mir Campbell displayed a voice Of
wonderful charm Of tone and range. It's
quality is more OF baritone than a
bass. although its possibilities were a
surprise. His clear enunciation and the
natural resonance Of his tones gave q
delightful cOlOTlng 10 the numbers OF
his program.
His work is finished and his reading
of the entire program allotted TO him
proved a veritabls pleasure 10 the large
audience OF music lovers at the recital.

TYPOS WILL TALK
ON GONPERS' ACTION
]. E. Goodkey and Others TO
Speak Plainly at Co
lumbia Union.

An echo Of union Iabors excursion
into the realm Of national politics will
be heard at the meeting Of Columbia
Typographical Union, No 101. this aft
eTnOOn, when several members Of the
union will speak their minds about the
action OF President Gompers and his po-
litical policy.
Joseph +. Goodkey. OF the Govern
ment Printing ONCE. said last night
that he would take part in the discus
sion Of President GOnipers' zttitude. as
we'll as that of those who would drag
the union into politics for their personal
gain"
Mr.. GOOdkey rendered his resignation
at the last meeting Of the union as a
member Of the executive COMMITTEES
after the union had refused 10 adopt
his motion TO withdraw the delegates
Of Columbia Union from the Central
Labor Union. because Of the Iatter's
action in indOrsing the Gompers' pro-
gram. His successor will be named to-
day.
Mr.. GoOdkey attended the convention
Of the International Typographical
Union held in Boston in August and
made a fight 10 have the union maintain
neutral course in politics, which the
convention did.
Mr.. Goodkey is firm in his belief that
politics and labor matters will not mix,
and that it will mean disaster for the
labOring people 20 permit their organs
cations to be used for campaign pur-
poses. He declares that he viii lead
the fight in Washington 10 have ths
trades unionists repudiate the action OF
leaders who would have IL otherwise.

Washington violinist.
Mr.. Schroeder has lost the use of his

of Lieutenant Santelmann; the Saenger-
bund chorus, under the leadership Of
Henry Xander. musical director Of the

Raymond Schroeder is one Of the most
widely known musicians in Washing
ton. a member of the well-knOwn must
cal family Of that name, and has been
identified with musical affairs in Wash
ingtOn ever since he was a young boy.
He is one of the most accomplished
violinists at the Capital. and the acct.
dent. which has robbed him Of the use
OF his arm is particularly sad. His
standing as a musician here is unques-
toned. and the goOd-feIlOwship that ex-
lists between him and the musical con-
tingeut has been made manifest by the
arrangements Of the benefit concert
next Sunday.

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves

The nervous system of the musician
is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces-
sary daily practise next to impossible.
II practise from seven to eight hours
a day and study Harmony two hours"
writes Mich. music student. Last
September / was SO nervous | could
only practise few minutes at time,
and mother said / would have to drop
my music for a year.
This was terribly discouraging as
I couldn't bear the thought of losing
a whole year of study. Becoming con-
WINGED that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee, and seeing
Postum so highly spoken of, l de-
cided | would test it for while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and l thought / had never
tasted such a delicious drink. We
drank Postum every morning instead
Of coffee, and by November l felt more
like myself than for years, and was
ready to resume my music.
i now pfdcIlSS do uSudl, w hy
studying and when my days work is
finished 1 am not any more nervous
than when / began.
Il cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practise half
a day. My father is a physician and
recommends Postum to his patients.
Words cannot express my appreciation
for this most valuable health bever-
age, and experience has proven it's
superiority over all others" There's
