I of Oratorios.

W. J.. Henderson, the distinguished
musical writer for The New York Sun,
had In his paper last Sunday a long
and exhaustive article covering refer
ences to grand opera and stage per-
formances of o~ratorios, and herewith
are two notes of interest.
There is nothing new in the stage
performance of oratorios, for it so
happens that they were all given IN
this manner in early years. st. Philip
Neri, as he was later called, fntroduc-
ed the presentation Of ~oratorios In the
Church Of the Congregation of the Or
atory as a means of drawing the youth
of the congregation away from the
profane amusementS Of Rome. These
oratorios were nothing more or less
than lyric dramas on sacred subjects,
Neri persuaded some of the leading
theatrical experts of his time to take
an interest in them and led even
such a musical master as Palestrina 70
write some Of the music. The work
which has come down to us a sthe first
of these o~ratorios, L'Anima g Corpo
was planned n arranged by Emil
de CaYalieri, who was for a time in
the service Of Ferdinand de Medici at
Florence. His title at the Medicean
court was inspector general of artists
but in fact he was the director OF
spectacles and fetes.
Max spicker, who died a few days
ago, was some. years back n of the
familiar figures of the concert stage
He. was an uncommonly good accom-
PIANIST, and he was chosen to assist
some of the o popular singers and
violinists. before the public. But In
recent years he lived a life Of retire
ment and doubtless was unknown to
many of the younger members of the
musical profession. He has left be-
hind him many proofs Of his sound
scholarship and his untiring industry.
The last work to issue from the
press was published by the house of
Schirmer. 1t was a, new addition of
Handlers Messiah, made from the ORR
ginal score. The piano part showed
all of, Mr.. Spickler's knowledge and
Judgment and this new vocal score OF
the most popular of all choral compo-
sitions will without question become
a favorite with singers.

speClaltics that are introduced.
The prices for this occasion arc what
is known as popular that is, 10, 20,
80 and 80 cents. In addition to the
entertainment the election returns arc
to be read and it is evident the house
will be packed.
For the fifth time since it's Organ

the Pollard Juvenile OTerA Co. is now

need to remind lovers Of clean, bright
entertainment just who the POllards
are. Their reputation was made Sc
cure many years ago, and it IS doubt
full if a single theatrical organization in

it is a clean play, presented by an ad-

limit. and it is filed to the brim with
logical tricks and swiftly moving sur
