NINE. GLUCK DELIGHTS
IN OLD STYLE SONGS
Celebrated Singer Arrives in Richmond to Sing in the
Academy Tonight and is Entertained at the Home
OF George w. Stevens-Recas Her First
Visit Here and Pays Tribute to
John Powell

Madame Alma Giuck. who sings In
the Academy tonight, arrived in the
city late yesterday afternoon and went
Immediately to the home of President
George w. Stevens, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, where she was en-
tertained at dinner.
When seen at President Stevens
home during the evening Madame
Gluck expressed herself as being de-
lighted at the opportunity OF again
singing In Richmond. 1t also gives
her especial pleasure to ind that her
program calls for several of the ante
bellum songs and that she will sing
them in costume. The entire second
part OF the program. consisting of
eight numbers. will be given over to
the old ballads
do you think, Madame" she was
asked, that America is holding it's
own In the world of art? Are the
younger artists equal to those of the
older school. and are they capable Of
filling the places which must at some
time be made vacant?"
There is no doubt that they are.
the artist replied. Art Is somewhat
like rose bush. New buds appear
and blossom out at intervals, each be-
ing better and more perfect than tn.

steal artists. Talented persons ap-

Cites John Powell.
Take your own John Powell, for
instance. He is an artist of great
ability and one that will be among
the really great artists OF the future.
His work has had most widespread
commentator both in this country
and in Europe. Mr.. Powells compo-
sitions are of a new order. They are

In The messiah
"The Messiah h.

The winter festival Of the Wednes-
day club is drawing near rapidly.
THE Messiah" is the greatest and
mcst popular oratorio ever written

the Redeemer. the story is the great
est In human history. Add to this
Handlers inspired music, which sounds
as fresh today, as when it was written
two hundred years ago. and the peren-
NAL interest in the work is easily I'M
derstood.
a remarkable feature of the COM
ing performance, is the fact that every
soloist, chorus member. and the MEM
bers of the orchestra live in Rich
mond.
This is the first time for years that
such a work has been attempted on
SO large g. scale. giving the entire
production with local talent.
There win be three hundred and
fifty Richmond singers and players
on the stage at the City auditorium
when THE Messiah is given.

feature Of 1T Happened in Potsua m, -
the new song-adorned comedy which
Al III. Wilson. the singing German

through the story that lends addi-
tionai interest to the performance.

German traveller OF the better Teutcnic

his hest. There Is no sarcasm to the
wit dispensed by this blonde young
German and his comedy is OF the
clean and wholesome kind that il

subject TO taxation. Assessors have
received instructions from the commits

work, and hence its property is not
exempt from taxation.
