MUSICAL NOTES

news for Salem people. No artist
could ever be more welcome and no
singer has ever left this city with a
greater appreciation Of an enthusias-
tic audience than Mr. Bispham ex-
pressed at the reception given him
after the concert.
Miss Minetta Magers is to be con-
graduated upon the success Of this
attraction and should be given most
hearty thanks for making such music
a possibility in Salem. She spared
no time, exertion or expense in bend
ing all energy to the management OF
presenting a concert Of rarest merit
by a world renowned artist
Through the medium of Musical
Notes" Miss Magers wishes to express
her great appreciation of the help
which was extended to her by Salem
friends, from the planning to the cul-
mination Of this splendid entertain
ment.
At the last meeting of the Salem
Oratorio Society, it was decided to be-
gin the study of "The Swan and the
Sky Lark" cantata written by Co
ing-Thomas, and as this creation is
short, another work of similar length
will be rehearsed and the two will
be presented TO the Salem public at a
date subsequent to the presentation
Of "The Rose Maiden" which will be
given in the near future.
The society is perfecting a plan to
satisfactorily care for their financial
needs and any desiring to join the
society may make application to any

An interesting program has been
for the Christmas recital
this afternoon by Mrs, w, A. Denton's
piano pupils, in her resident studio.
Dainty little folders programmed
the numbers given in recital by Miss
Beatrice Shelton's small pupils and
on the afternoon Of Decem-
ber seventeenth, at the First Congre-
gational Church. These children,
whose ages are from seven to ten
years, are bright musical pupils and
gave their selections in excellent man
ner. Perhaps the most effective num-
ber on the program was the "Japa-
nese Love Song" by Annabelle Col
den and Lois Nye in costumes Of the
Flowery Kingdom, These children,
pupils of Miss Bushnell sang prettily
and acted their parts to perfection.
The Christmas Song" by little chill
dren Of Garfield school, added much
to the pleasure Of the program.
"Rain Drops" played by a tiny lit
tie three-year-old musical boy Ken
meth Allen, was delightful Macyle
a very sweet little singer as
sisted, giving Christmas song. In
ALL the rendition Of this children's
Christmas recital was very interest
ing and showed what teachers thor
ough training can accomplish when
applied to small girls and boys
Under direction and advice OF Miss
Minnette h. Harlan, very large dele
cation of Monmouth people came to
Salem for the Bispham concert Tues
day night This thriving town is show
Ing spirit of progress especially in
music. Not only was expressed the
Seenest appreciation of the high merit
Of the music, and the privilege Of lis
.ening to Mr.. Bispham's magnificent
voice, but an assurance was given that
he appearance of Carrie Jacobs-B Bond
would bring to this city the same
number of Monmouth people for the
.enth OF January.
1t ia quite possible Miss Magers will
accept Mr., Frederick Shipman's ad-
'ice and present Nordica in Salem.
Vr Shipman is manager for David |
3ispham and would have availed him
'elf OF the opportunity to visit this
'ity Thursday evening had he not
