A very grave error appeared in this
department last week, when Mr.. Rob-
ert Boar son was accredited with the
announcement that he would meet
former pupils or any one wishing
their voices tried, at the Salem Vocal
Studio, Sunday, from ten o'clock until
three in the afternoon. Monday should
have been substituted, 1t is not Mr..
Carson's practice to meet pupils on
Sunday, nor is the Salem Studio open
on that day for business,

The evening of Saturday, the nine
teenth of October has been selected
by Miss Frances Pelton-Jones for her
appearance at the Grand opera house.
No one can afford to miss this rare
opportunity for listening to the harp
sichord played by its greatest Of per-
formers.
Those who heard Mrs Morrison
Reid and Robert Bolce Carson In their
joint recital at First Methodist church
Monday evening enjoyed one of the
richest treats in vocal music ever
heard in Salem and some who missed
the treat are already expressing re-
gret.
A powerful, dramatic soprano voice
of purest quality was listened to and
thoroughly enjoyed by the large audi
ence assembled. II was not only Mrs.
Reids voice that won the approval Of
her auditors, but the charming man
ner and stage presence which kind
nature has added to her talents.
Heard, perhaps, to best advantage
in the Aria from Joan of Arc, Mrs.
Reid nevertheless excelled in the
Requiem by Turner-Salter and in La
Farge's Like Rosebud" which calls
for most artistic coloring. Though
handicapped by severe c0d con-
tracted since coming to Salem, Mrs.
Reids numbers we're all well re-
ceived. Mention must be made of
Tender Ties" by Delbrluck, and
Eden's whats in the Air Today
the latter song being new in the West,
When Mrs. Reid favors Salem with
another song recital, she will be
greeted by a very large audience Of
music lovers.
In Mr.. Carson, the audience lis
tened to one Of the increasingly rare
voices of our times, skillfully
trained lyric tenor. Mr.. Carson's
voice is of pleasing range and sym
pathy, and his numbers were most
happily selected
MARIE" by Franz, was perhaps the
most classical of the songs, and was
given with beauty of tone and clear
ness Of enunciatlon. The Monotone"
by Cornelius, ~ Claim You Nine" by
.Aylward, and "The Spirit Flower" by
Campbell-Tipton, won the hearts of
all hearers.
In the two duets, Mrs. Reid and
Mr.. Carson displayed brilliancy of
tone, physical poise, depth of express
sion and perfect harmony. These
numbers were we'll received and 1t
is not too much to say that in these
singers the audience was privileged
to enjoy two most excellent artists
The accompanies, Miss Klitzke and
Miss Sutherland, did not detract from
the high standard set by the vocalists
and added much to the enjoyment Of
the occasion.
It is a pleasure to note that this
Capital city is becoming the home Of
talent of no mean renoYn.
An Introductory leaflet was received
last week, the cover embellished with
a dainty picture Of Frances Pelton-
Jones and Paul Dufault in XVII and
XVIII century costumes, and the first
page bearing the following preamble;
