SCOUTS TO HEAR
REAL SONG BIRDS
Wednesday Club Committee
Will Attend Opera Before
Making Up Program.

In order TO hear the various grand
opera stars with a view OF selecting
the best performers for the May
Festival. members OF the board or
governors and music committee OF the
Wednesday Club will arrive in New
York tonight and will occupy box at
the Metropolitan Opera House at
several concerts. j. O.. Coriey. presi-
dent of the Wednesday Club. has been
in New York on business for several
days and has made arrangements Tor
reservations for the club officials at
the operas 20 be given the remainder
of this week.
While no one of the singers has yet
been engaged for the May Festival and
no orchestra signed up. the officers
expect 20 complete the necessary
formalities before leaving New York
Sunday. Those making the journey
will be J. O.. Corley. president; w
Henry Baker, director of the chorus
NJ. T. Spicer. Norman Call and j.
Jeter Jones. of the music committee;
and W. H White and George W. Stew
ems OF the board OF governors. An
invitation TO the entire board was
issued by Mr.. Corley. but many were
unable to accept.
To Select Chorus Music.
II is hoped this year to have the
work of the chorus coordinate with the
stars. and for that reason the music
committee has not yet selected the
pieces to be handled by the chorus
BY the time the party returns from
New York, the music for the chorus
will be finally chosen. Having given
the mid-winter concert of pure oratorio.
the board is preparing to make grand
opera the feature of the May FESTIVAL.
For several years the orchestra OF
the Metropolitan Opera House has
furnished the Instrumental music for
the spring concerts of the Wednesday
Club, and it is probable that the ser
vices of this remarkable organiza-
ton will be secured again for this year.
No contract has been signed yet. but
party Is in New York.
Senior Enrico Caruso, the marvellous
tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany will make his first appearance
here this spring, and while the board
will most probably enter into negotia-
lions for his services, it is feared that
the cost of bringing him here Will De
too heavy. 1t appears more hkely
that Ricardo Martin. the tenor, who
has won such favor here in years gone
by, will be signed again.
The members of the music committee
deny that they have decided definitely
upon any of the galaxy of metropolitan
stars. They hope to engage again one
or two of the singers who have made
themselves favorites here. but plan TO
have many stars who have never
graced the stage of Richmond.
