Is cents a week." and in it there Is the
sanest, most direct and most truthful ar
tiele on the establishment OF orchestras
that has come before the eyes Of the musi-
cal critic OF The Bee for many moons.
Denver is giving festival, and the pur-
nose OF the festival is said to be the foun-
dation OF a permanent orchestra. Strangely
enough. Omaha finds itself in exactly the
same position SO It should certainly be
interesting to read the following summing
up OF the situation.
And, incidentally, il will serve to refresh
YOU on the merits OF our much valued Mr.
oberhoffer who, with the Minneapolis
symphony orchestra will be Omaha's

Mr. Hawley. now associate editor OF the

found himself surrounded by q large
family, much music and many problems
that heap the path OF existence and refuse

fingers in farewell through the hair OF his

so human, that we have gladly expressed
our delight in the support that has made
Mr.. Barrie one of the wealthiest among

touch of personal satisfaction at the sue
cess he has achieved is reflected in one of
John Stands short speeches. Shand says
there is nothing that can resist the on
slaught Of the educated Scotchman and
expresses some feeling of pity for the poor
English who are placed at his mercy. One
doesn't like to think of Mr. Barrie being
in any wise conceited over his achievements,

Asst Thursday the musical editor
OF The Bee had the opportunity
of saying a few words to the
- musical department of the
Iilb,f Women's club, and was much
60 interested in the enthusiastic
body of musical people who were there to
attend the last meeting OF the season.
Under the capable leadership of Miss
Blanche Sorenson, this department has
passed through one Of the most successful
and instructive years in its history, The
professional people have lent their assis-
tance, not so much an musical performance
is in the role OF lecturers or expounders
For example, there was much said last
Thursday about the splendid time the peo-
pie had at the meeting previous, when Mr.
Sigmund Landsberg gave very helpful and
clear ideas on the various higher forms of
music. Another musician gave previously
an illustrated address on "Fugue," Mem

he has been proudly driving ever since.
Mise Grace George was something of an

It was uncertain for several seasons IL she

in New York has not so far proved self
supporting. This state Of facts makes the
problem for the managers extremely sim
pie; they must have for the theaters that
which the public will pay to see, or they
must close up. Now, the actors who can
always be relied upon to FIJI a theater
every night it is opened, can be counted

that plays must be depended upon, and the
