The Brandeis theater was well filled Yea.
terday afternoon with an enthusiastic au-
aienee which had assembled TO do honor
to Miss Mary Munchhoff by listening 10
her song recital with the utmost interest.
oy showering her with outbursts Of an
piause and by laying at her feet the
choicest nowers-a real garden OF them.
But Il was not because Miss Munchboff
Is an Omaha girl thet this was done; not
because she claims Omaha as her home.
IN spite Of success abroad. The real rea-
son was that Miss Mary Munchhoff has
succeeded in the work which she set out
to do. II there is any one point which Is
pFe-eminently OF advantage to the student
in contemplating Miss Munehhoffs career
1t Is the faithful and patient perseverance,
which she has displayed and the manner
In which she has consistently upheld the
gospel OF hard work. Miss Munchhoff was
not endowed with what the world calls a
great voice. and therefore all the more
glory and credit to her that she has such
good results 10 show for her years OF
study, and, be II noted, that she is even
now studying as closely and as much as
ever she has studied, for her capacity for
work Is remarkable
Mary Munchhoff has an artistic con
science, which all visiting artists do not
possess. This was exemplified in two
fold manner yesterday. First. by nature
Of the program which she presented. q
program full Of beautiful difficulties; q
program which was one OF the best ever
given acre, whereas the singers local pop
ularity would have made It possible for
her 20 offer almost anything, and have II
accepted. The second proof was the sup
plying Of translations IN English Of every
song she sang, as truly conscientious
artists do. and there are few Of them, a
,ohla few. who do not want to take every
opper-that comes into the treasury, but
are willing 70 spend some money In FUR
p,sbinR a means OF getting together De-
tween the artist and those who do not
know the foreign language in which sad
artist a singing and would like TO kno"
