What Bispham Thinks Of Traditions
Bunthorn in all his glory. according
to a New York correspondent, was
never surrounded by such an adoring
bunch of femininity as was David
Bispham at recent State Music
Teachers Convention in Syracuse.
They lowered and rustled and beam
ed and sighed about him, while the
masculine element formed a discon-
ISOLATE fringe. Mr.. Bispham had by
turns charmed, convulsed and en-
enthralled his immense audience dur
ing the afternoon, and his appearance
in the reception room was the signal
for a general ovation.
In giving his talk on the Various
Styles of Singing, Mr.. Bispham sang
several songs and arias by way of H.
lustration Music styles, SO the bari
tone contends, change as do those of
dress, painting and architecture. Ira
ditions, unless of proved value, should
be cast aside Preserved merely as
traditions they are useless. Illustrat-
! ing this he told a story of the great
Rubini who in rendering a certain
| aria walked leisurely to the back OF
| the stage, then down to the footlights
before ne began. When a rising young
artist followed in the role of the great
singer after his death, the stage man
ager insisted upon his following the
tradition. Being a man of brains, how
ever he determined to find out Ru
binis reason for following this pro
/ cedure; SO he asked an old choiristei
why the tenor kept everything thus al
a standstill.
/ All, Signor," the chorus-singer re
piled, "Rubini vera greata artist. He
walk to da backa da stage; he coma
down to da front; he sing. He greats
artist"
Yes, yes, but why did he go bacl
there?"
"oh, why, signcr? All, Rubini he g
backa to spit"
/. Bispham's forthcoming visit is Gag
erly awaited. The great baritone
, concert tour is under the management
of Loudon Charlton, the well know
impresario.
!, Mr.. Bispham will be heard tonigh
/ at the Grand opera house.

Everybody has been kickin about |
the weather and joking at the local |

winter period, SO long drawn out that
FIT breaks the record for Iowa winte; |
weather, despite the marvellous stories
told by the Oldest inhabitants as oc-

originating in many cases from dim
memory mixed with very elastic !
imagination.
The ground hog came and went
behind him; it is said, that though he
sought his hole with wondrous speed,
! he froze off the tip of his tail before
that caudle appendage could be pull
ed in after him. But he has been
swiftly followed by one Of the bright
est and most welcome harbingers of
spring, the robin. Reports had come
in that this sweet-chirping lover of
temperate weather had been seen at
different points in Keokuk and vicin-
/ ity, but Sunday he actually made his
appearance about noon. He perched
tgaily in a big old apple tree in the
yard of a north side residence. His
feathers were roughed, and stood out
| in an enlarged form as If he wore
heavy oyercoat. He looked with a
nod and a wink at the universal car
! pet of snow on the ground beneath
the tree. and espying surprised and
Icurious human being, he smoothed
his feathers, assuming his normal
! size, primped a moment, and then
sang few suppressed notes Of cheer.
Soon he was on the wing for other
/ perches and perchance hole to
crowd into as the ground hog had
done only two days before. The latter
course was feared and hopes in the
sign of the early coming of temper
ate weather fled from the human
breast, sped away on the wings of the
departing robin red breast But about
o'clock in the afternoon, Mr.. Robin,
with big R. returned to the same old
apple tree, appearing much brighter
and livelier with his overcoat off and
Z his feathers as prim as an old maid
= dressed and primped ready to pop
! to the first eligible man who ventured
: out to see his shadow this freezing
beginning of leap year And Mr.. Robin
II sang in more cheerful strain many
J, familiar notes of his pretty early
spring song of "Tut, tut. tut" The
sweet, low notes of this last song
: was interpreted to mean, Spring is
coming; We have come to stay, tut
! tut"
#. ''Oh robin, robin, you shame my faith
: Your CHEEKY song to my spirit saith:
4 Believe and away with fears:

sorely trodden upon at the Grand

the Roosevelt play, The Sixth
Commandment will be seen for the
first time in Keokuk with Miss Lillian
Rhodes and Mr. Ernest c. Warde as
the stars supported by an unusually
strong company of seasoned players.
The Sixth Commandment is far from
being biblical play as its title might
imply but is rather an elaboration in
dramatic form OF Theodore Roose.
velt's ideas on race suicide, written
by Robert Mclaughlin who was priv
ate secretary to the late President Nc
Kinley and through that means came
into frequent contact with Mr. Roise-
Welt. Like the great man who inspired
| the drama the author has not hesitat-
ed to express himself frankly and
boldly about his subject and at times
| he makes his auditors gasp and hold
| tight to their seats by his very bold
ness in expressing the truth. Plays
like the Sixth Commandment" make
| the theatre what it was intended for
NOT house of frivolous amusement
only temple Of thought where
the ideas OF progressive and great men
can be illustrated in flesh and blood
pictures. The title of the play refers
TO the commandment of the Protestant
Bible Thou Shalt not kip as 1t re
fers to race suicide.
| The Sixth Commandment will be
seen at the Grand opera house Wed
