The listing of programs is not al
ways interesting. This menu will whet
the most sluggish musical appetite. Ii
the glimmer of love for song exists in
your soul. Madame Schumann- Heink
will fan il into a fine lyric flame this
afternoon. or else this program is no
criterion and the singers voice an
altered organ

On account of the indicated demand
for seats for the final concert Green
baum has secured Dreamland rink in
Steiner street near Suffer- that being
the only available place large enough
to accommodate the crowd which he
expects. Songs not on previous pro-
grams will furnish the larger part of
the offering and among the good things
promised are the six gypsy songs by
Brahms.
Today's program viii be repeated in
Oakland next Friday afternoon at 1e
Liberty theater and Tuesday night the
members of the st. Francis musical art
society viii listen to a program in the
st. Francis hotel.
The newly organized musical society.
the Wednesday music club, began
rather anonymously, but otherwise very
prosperously, last Tuesday morning at
the headqua rters of the California club.
The society has grown so quickly that
the board of directors and the officers
are somewhat bewildered at a success
which they did not expect a the begin
ming.
One purpose of the organization was
stated at the meeting last Tuesday
night by Mrs William A Deane, the
president. 1t takes hold of a funda-
mental Of musical existence. The ad-
dress is quoted in this respect YER
batim and should be given notice. If
the aims and objects so clearly stated
are as clearly worked out, there will be
a great impetus given to musical cul-
ture in this city. The fact that the
membership includes already 400 names
is evidence that there is power to do
and is earnest of the hope that there
viii be the will also. 1 quote the
completing phrases of Mrs. Deanes
address:
Our active members to the num-
Der of 100 are to put forth their
ffs5e6 Rest GTts f5s to msks
amateurs, worthy of their profess
sional brethren. These programs
in the evening for the benefit of
our men members. Professionals
among the associates will be re-
munerated for their services when
appearing on our programs. The
business affairs of the club will be
in the hands of the active mem
bers, but the associates will have
two representatives on the board.
and the auditing committee will
consist of three men from the same
ranks.
In many of the European cities,
in order to sustain big symphony
concerts, to present the great
operas with the best artists, and
to place these within reach of the
entire community, certain domestic
articles are taXed-say cents on
