MUSIC CLUB DEV0TES
EVENING TO MENDELSSOHV

At its meeting Tuesday evening the
thought of the Grants Pass Music
club centered about Mendelssohn. His
life and character were depicted in a
most interesting manner by Mrs.
Herrick, who showed that he was not
less noted for his ability as an artist
and poet than for his genius as a
composer and pianist.
Miss Meadow, in carefully writ
ten paper, endeavored to make plain
the place which Mendelssohn held,
and still holds among the group of
great musicians, showing him to be
one Of the most refined and cultured
OF writer's, though lacking in the or
iginality, the force and brilliancy of
other masters. Although he pro-
duced number of compositions that
occupy place with the great works
Of his age, he will be remembered
longest through the melodious
Songs Without Words"
The program was largely made up
of Mendelssohn selections, the more
melodious type of the composers S
work being finely illustrated by Prof.
Field in his rendition of several num-
bers from the Songs Without
Words" while the delicacy and ten
derness of the fine nature was
brought out most clearly in tho
"Slumber song" beautifully render
ed by Miss Nina Paddock. The ro-
mantle element was shown in the
duet by Messrs. Van Dyke and Cass, a
number that was most heartily appre-
ciated by the audience, as was that
of Mrs. Walker. Following is the

lighted the audience by the display
OF a new base clarinet, Upon which he

be held in June in connection with the

the greatest results toward helping the

HENRY E. DIZZY DRAWS

Vaudeville at the. Grand is on a par
with the presentation of this form of
entertainment in any city in the land
The same headline features that appear
In New York are offered here. The fact
that Henry e. Dixey is the highest sal
aried individual in vaudeville has an in
teresting feature that draws people to see
him, His vaudeville speciality Is inter
esting, and supported by .six other fea-
ture acts the big theater is being filled
at every performance. Among the hits
are Loughlin's comedy dogs, Donovan and
Mcdonald, and the really famous Jung
mann family.
The bill for next week is complete and
IS one of the best looking that has been
brought here this season. Eddie Leonard
the minstrel star. will be seen in his
newest success in song and dance, as
sisted by Mabel Russell, a dainty and
charming comedienne. Another great at
traction will be daniel Frohman's produc-
ton of Detective Keen" conceded to
be the strongest and most interesting play
in vaudeville. The Ishikiwa brothers,
wonderful Japanese gymnasts, and other
features, viii help make things inter-
esting.
