Music Played at Clubs Midsummer Jinks to
Be Repeated at the Van Ness
By WALTER ANTHONY

fort That he viii succeed as com
poser is a belief agreeably justified by
the fact that a sheaf of his songs has
been accepted for publication by an
American publishing concern.
An interesting correspondent from
the City of Mexico tells me that we are
far and away behind the Mexican cap
ital in the encouragement of music.
Public concerts are given weekly in
several of the parks, some in the morn
ing, some in the afternoon and some
in the evening. On the program sent
me were represented Mendelssohn.
Massenet, Wagner, PonchieIn and Puc-
cini, besides three composers of popu-
lar waltzes and twosteps The cor
respondent refers to the effort recently
made, and which was indorsed in these
columns, to secure from the supervi-
sors an appropriation to provide San
Francisco with free open air concerts
in the various public parks. If the City
Of Mexico can stand the expense it
would seem that San Francisco could.
Local musicians are pleased over the
prospect of the engagement of local
players to fill the places made vacant
when the bands now playing at Idora
park and at the Chutes complete their
contracts. In Oakland, ]. L. Callahan
will start next Wednesday with a band
of 50 instrumentalists for series of
concerts at Idora park. and on this
side of the bay, when the present band
at the Chutes leaves, Bennett will di-
rect an organization of local PLAYERS.
How can local players develop the
ensemble and the feeling and tone
necessary for concert appearances un-
less they are given chance? We have
as good players here as anywhere but
no organization in which they play
regularly" says Callahan.
He's right about that
