than four new" stars have been dis

through a study of Photographic plates
at Harvard college, the fourth was
found usually by the Rev. I. E. Esp1n,
of England. on December 80.
The star was not visible on the pho
tograph taken at the Harvard college

was Of the fifth magnitude on Novem-

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT
BY THE PHILHARMONIC CLUB
Local Musical Organization Under Direction Of A. Stephen
Delighted Large Misunderstanding SoIoists
Of High Order

The arias for the soprano in the
Stabat Mater were sustained and car
ried with almost grandeur of power
and expression and the audience
greatly enjoyed the tremendously diff
ficult finale, Inflammatus EFT Accensus,
for soprano and chorus. In the closing
cadence twice carried in long cres-
cendo passages the high notes were
sustained with a burst of melody
which could hardly be improved upon.
In the air for the bass, Through the
Darkness Thou wilt Lead Me, Marion
Green disclosed himself an artist of
sterling worth. He sang the air, and
recitative which followed, with spirit
fine vocalization and at all times show
ed clear conception of the very de-
votional theme of the composer.
The beauty OF the voices of the SOLO
lists was disclosed very prominently in
the quartette number, / Have Longed
for Thy Salvation, and My Hope Was
In Thy Goodness! This is particular
ly worthy Of mention for 1t is one of
the most satisfying and pleasing parts
of the work.
Mrs. Thurston, contralto. has a noble
voice and perfect vocal expression and
with her natural gracious manner she
at once becomes a delight to her audi
ences. She was brilliant in the duet
with Mrs. Tewksbury, Power Eternal,
Judge and Father. What more beau
tiful expression and harmony could
there be than in the singing of those
intensely religious and prayerful
words?
A treat of the evening were the
songs given by the soloists between
the Gallia and Stabat Mater. The
feature was the singing of the recita-
tive. At Last the Bounteous Sun (sea-
sons) and the aria, With Joy the Inn
patient Husbandman, by Haydn, sung
by Marion Green, who made himself
more of favorite than ever. He was
in splendid voice last night, it's res
onance and fullness being admirably
demonstrated. Mrs. Tewksbury con-
tributed a selection from Butterfly
which was not programmed, most
charmingly and was twice recalled.
Mr.. Hall sang with remarkable sweet
ness two dainties, Hail Fulflment and
Love of Great Songs.
The evening was a delightful one
and all concerned have reason to feel
proud of the successes. The presenta-
ton of oratorios has been given great
inspiration and the people will look
for more. There is no lack of materi-
al in Fargo and last night showed that
Mr. Stephens we'll knows how to make
the best of his resources.
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of Ell Zagal patrol at the
Masonic temple and the patrol de-

arrangements.
ERMINE AT NORMAL
Musical Treat in store at Moorhead
Normal on Dec. 10 When Opera
Will Be Given.

Ermine or The Two Thieves, a comic
opera by Jakobowski that has enjoyed
an immense popularity for a quarter Of
century, is the musical production
which Mr.. Powers, head Of the music
department of the Moorhead normal
school, will present to the public on
Dec. is. The caste is composed ex-
clusively of normal school people, and
the performance is staged exclusively
under the instruction OF normal school
teachers. Miss Hayes, teacher Of read
ing, assists Mr.. Powers in the dramatic
training, and Miss Meyer, teacher of
physical education, in the dancing.
The opera will be handsomely cos
TUNED by a twin city costumer, who
supplied seventy suits for the perform
ance.
Briefly summarized, the story of the
opera is as follows: Ermine, daughter
of the Marquis of Pontvert, is about to
be betrothed to Ernst, a young noble
man. While Ernst is on his way to the
bethrothal ceremony, he has the mis-
fortune to meet upon the highway a
pair of very clever thieves, Cadeaux
and Ravennes, who deprive him of his
wardrobe and tie him to a tree. They
then proceed, in his stead, to the
bethrothal festivities, where Ravennes
cheerfully impersonates the fiance and
introduces Cadeaux as his friend, an
able man. 1t transpired that Ermine
is not in love with Ernst at ALL but
with her fathers secretary, Eugene;
while Ernst himself is cherishing q
secret passion for Cerise Marcel, a girl
friend Of Ermine's. Ernst, in the
meantime, breaks his bonds and ar
rives late, and in disorder, at the fes-
tival. Seeing him, Ravennes raises the
cry of thief" and sets the soldiers up
on him as one of the men who by de-
claring that he is robbed him on the
road that morning. Ravennes then
pretends to Ermine that he is quite in
sympathy with her love for Eugene,
and with her unwilling aid, conspires
to rob the house. He is on the point
of accomplishing this, when the real
robbers are detected and seized and
the opera is brought to satisfactory
conclusion with the pairing off of
Eugene and Ermine and of Ernst and
Cerise.

A Music Journals View

The Musical Courier: Cnce again
let us urge pianists, singers, lecturers
on music, ETC., not to volunteer as
sistance in the free musical pro-
grammes given by the women's clubs.

Fart society, the Harlem Philharmonic
Gall conducted by women) give con-
cents with high class artists, and pay
them their regular fees, all clubs can
do it. If club is too poor to pay ar
lists, then the musical part of the ses-
sion should be omitted. Clubs that
plead poverty are obliged to pay rent
and all other expenses, and there is
no more legitimate item than that
which covers the cost of the literary
or musical entertainment. The ar
lists who appear at these free music
ales are destroying the possibility of
gaining a livelihood, and in the end
are ranked with performers of no
recognized standing. If properly or
ganized, every woman's club will be In

Christine Miller Wins ovation.

Christine Miller. contralto, honored
Fargo with visit last Monday night
under the auspices Of the Fargo College
conservatory. the occasion being one
OF the series of artists recital arrang-
ed by the conservatory for this season.
The management has faculty for
supplying good things in music--this
engagement was one which was very
good and Miss Miller could hardly have
been heard to better effect. Miss
Miller has won an enviable position
among the foremost of our American
vocalists by reason of the fact that
she Is singer who societies and con-
servatories can depend upon for work
of the very highest order, and the adj.
ditional fact that she possesses that
quality and measure OF graciousness
that at once she makes herself pet"
with her audiences and with her first
number secures perfect control OF their
condolences.
Miss Miller sang with that rare
finesse characteristic of the artist, who
made the most OF the aria OF the sor
rowing mother Liza. Hers was beau
tiful and sympathetic Interpretation.
There is really little left to. be said con-
corning the beauty Of Miss Miller's art.
a great critic OF New York was once
heard to say that Christine MilIer's
voice was indescribable ia its rareness.
Works by the Russian composer, Rach-
maninof, a group Of three songs by
Brahms, Max Roger displayed the
singers rare interpretative gifts--they
were absolutely delightful. The pro-
gramme was closed with compositions
by MacFayden, La Forge, Hopekirk,
Fisher and Rummel, and in ali OF them
displayed the qualities of her rich,
mellow voice were heard to the best
advantage The dainty explanations
she gave to several Of her selections
were very pleasing to the audience and
highly appreciated.

tory, was the accompanies and played

A very large audience greeted the
Fargo Moorhead Philharmonic club
last night when Gounod's Gallia and
Rossinis Stabat- Mater were presented
and given splendid renditions to ac-
compartments played by a local or
rhestra organized by the director, A. j..
Stephens.
The assisting soloists were, Mrs.
Lucille Tewksbury, soprano; Mrs. w.
M. Thurston, contralto; William Glare
Hall, tenor; and Marion Green, bass.
Taken all in all the orchestra did
It's work well, there were some short
comings, but they were the result of
too little practice, which, with local
organizations, is a great deal to the
conductor. However the one last night
showed it's mettle and ambition. 1t
was the first time in Fargo that works
of this magnitude have been present.
ed by local orchestra without piano
or organ assistance--enterpris to
say the least on the part of Mr.
stephens and his ensemble of instru-
mentalists. 1t shows advancement in
instrumental work in this city and a
move towards the organization Of a
permanent orchestra.
The chorus had been carefully train
ed. The security of execution, pre-
cision of attack, fine accentuation and
exact entrance of the voices, in both
the works, was a revelation to many
of the hearers. The few climaxes
were brought out with all the effect
necessary. Mr.. Stephens, in the short
time at his disposal certainly has done
most effective work in the preparation
OF the two works which have never
been attempted here before and he
must have had the full confidence and
earnest support of the whole ensemble
of singers and instrumentalists.
In the Gallia there is work for only
one soloist and it was splendidly done
by Mrs. Tewksbury, in the two num-
bers, lions ways do anguish, and,
Is 1t nothing to all We that pass by?
She has been heard in Fargo before
and Is always enthusiastically well
coined. Last night she seemed to sing
sweeter than ever showing thorough
ly schooled vocalist and the tempera-
ment of a true musician.
The great audience was expectant to
hear Mr.. Hall, the tenor, new singer
TO Fargo audiences and certainly were
there no disappointments. His first
number was the air, following the in
PRODUCTION to the Stabat Mater, Lord
Vouchsafe Thy loving kindness. Mr..
Hall was praised very highly He has
A voice of sweetness and smooth tim

pretations. He was given very hearty
applause and many wished he had
more to do.

once did Miss Miller prominently show
her appreciation Of bis work and treat
ed him as worthy partner in art.
There were several recalls very graci-
ously responded to with, In The Time

Rosary. This particular event will
linger in the memory or Fargos
