The Detroit times., 1910-11-26

Detroit" written by Joseph p. Lieb,
organist OF ST. Boniface's church, Is
the latest aspirant for favor among
the popular music hits OF the day
The fruntispiece Is an excellent re-
production Of the center of Detroit,
showing the city hall and the heart
OF the city" in that part OF busy
Woodward-ave.
Although Gaul's cantata The Holy
City" Is one OF the most popular and
universally sung compositions Of its
kind, yet. the FOREST Presbyterian
quartet choir will give selec-
tons from It for the first
time, in their church work,
Sunday evening, when the regular
monthly musical service will be held.
The choir, consisting of Mrs. George
s. Owens. soprano, Mrs. C. II. Glenn
ents, contralto, William Lawn, tenor,
and c. M. Clohecy, basso, with N. j.
Corey, organist and director. will
have the assistance OF Mrs. j. W..
Ballard, soprano, and Miss Alice La
due, contralto.
After an absence of several years.
Jaroslav Kocian, the noted Bohemian
violinist. will appear in Detroit, CIV
ing recital in the Garrick theater,
Sunday afternoon, Dec. IL. A recent
scholarly and critical review in the
Chicago Tribune contains this para
graph about the artist: In these
days of hysteria among the violinists
IL must be confessed that Mr.. ko-
clans art is refreshing just because
OF it's lack of personal emphasis. One
feels that he is really more concern
ed with the presentation OF music
that he believes to be beautiful than
with the display of his own capacity
in the direction of mechanical attain
ments or capacity for emotional ex'
element. In other words. he reveres
his art and though he might easily
make sensational display of his tech
mic which seemingly knows no limita
tons, or through the medium of his
rarely beautiful tone might indulge
in all manner of sentimental exag
gerations, he prefers to remain the
sincere musician

appear in the Lyceum theater, Fri
day afternoon, Dec. 8, In aid of the
Children's Free hospital, with the
Pittsburg Symphony orchestra, Is a
Californian by birth, the daughter OF
New England family that went TO
the Golden State in the days OF 40.
Her mother was Spanish. to which
fact the young dancer attributes her
talent and love for the art of Terpsi-
chore. The Pittsburg Symphony or
chestra, under it's new conductor,
Carl Bernthaler, will give several
compositions in addition to playing
for Miss Flliot's interpretative
dances.
John Philip Sousa and his band
gave concert, Friday afternoon, in
the Detroit Opera house. The pro-
gram was Enthusiastically Sousa,
inasmuch as ii was made up OF one
classic" number to five Sousa en-
cores. That the audience liked the
Sousa two-steps best, was shown
every time a few bars of any one Of
them was played, in the resultant APP
plause. Sousa and his men are going
across the continent to the Pacific
coast, where they will sail for
Hawaii and then on to the far east
to encircle the globe.
