THE ROSE MAIDEN CANTATA
Governs Cantata to be Given by Choral
Society of Moorhead Normal School,
Assisted by Four Soloists.

Prof. j. Harold Powers, director
of music at the state normal school,
announces the presentation of Fred
eric H. Governs cantata, The Rose
Maiden, at the normal auditorium on
the evening Of Monday, Nov. "a.
The choral union will be assist
ed by a full orchestra, and Mrs. Jes-
sic Hazelton ,Askegaard, soprano;
Miss Lillian Wright, contralto; Henry
Houglum, tenor and Frank v. Steele,
baritone.
Professor Powers has been at work
on the production for some time and
has gotten his chorus in fine shape for
the rendition of the cantata.
The argument Of the cantata is as
follows:
The Queen Of the Flower Fairies,
weary of a life Of unbroken calm,
prays for the newly returned Spring
that he will bestow upon her also the
gift Of love that he bestows upon man.
He warns her Of the risk she runs, but
finally yields to her entreaties by
changing her while she sleeps into the
form Of a beautiful girl. Under the
name Of Roseblossom She wanders
through the world to find the love that
| she seeks, and meets with a girl who,
having been betrayed and deserted by
her lover, loses her senses and dies
| broken-hearted. But, undeterred
from her search, Roseblossom be-
| comes the wife Of a forester, with
whom she lives for a time in such per-
feet happiness that she cannot survive
his death. The elves bewail the fate
Of their queen, and curse love as fatal
to peace and happiness. Following is
a synopsis of the different solos and
| choruseS:

DAKOTA

The recital, given in Bismarck, Fri
day evening of last week in which
Miss Seymour of the faculty and also
Mrs. Ernest r. Wright of this city
took part, proved q great success. The
Bismarck Tribune has the following
to say about it: "
"The recital given at the Methodist
church Friday evening was without
doubt one of the finest musical en-
tertainments aver listened to by a
bismarck audience. The programme
was high class, but not too high to
be appreciated by those present.
Miss Seymour, the violinist from
Fargo, acquitted herself with honor,
much to the delight of her listeners.
She has a fine personality and poise.
Especially were her numbers, Ballade
n Polonaise and Legende, worthy OF
special mention. ,.... s
I'm her rendition of Ballade and
Polonaise she demonstrated her abil-
lty as an artist by her case, finesse of
her technique and perfect phrasing.
She played the most difficult passages
as though she were simply musing.
Her Interpretation Of Legende, which,
we understand, she received from the
composer, was faultless and her
harmonic work was clear and per-
feet. She held the people fairly SPELL
bound.
Mrs. Ernest r.. Wright of Fargo
demonstrated her usual popularity by
capturing the hearts of her hearers
from the first. Her manner is so
charming Int at the same time she
possesses such a strong personality
that h carries her audience with her
with as much ease as through the
lighter numbers. In the Ave Maria,
n h Txyf~IsrE ohIs1n - r 80 --:4o -
clear and true and the blending SO
perfect that at times it was difficult
to detect which We're voice and which
We're violin tones. She especially
pleased the audience with A Lesson
With the Fan, a delightful little num-
Der, made particularly refreshing by
the girlish mannerisms and interpre-
tation of the singer.
Miss Woodward, of the local con-
servatory, was sweet and charming
in her appearance and proved her
perfect mastery of the grand piano,
overwhich she presided during he
entire evening. Her solo work was
fine, indeed, showing her EXCEPTIONAL
~ sympathetic interpretation and
perfect technique. Her accompany.
Ing demonstrated again her prof.
cheney with the piano. Many solo
artists are not successful accompan-
lists. but Miss Woodward proved her
ability in this capacity as perfectly
as in solo work. Especially were her
numbers, Chopin's Impromptu III and
Van Dooren's Polonaise, rendered
with the skill of a master and an ar
tist. The endurance required i'm an
entire evenings programme like this
n proves the thoroughness Of her
training. Bismarck, people may justly
feel proud that this talented young
woman can be counted among our
townspeople."
Next Monday evening, Nov. III, q
recital will be given by students OF
the Moorhead branch of the conserve
tory at the lecture room or the pub
lie library. Everyone interested are
most cordially invited to listen to the

An Example of Mr..
Bryan's Apt Repartee.

William J. Bryan was a speaker at
the annual dinner Of the Sons Of Della
ware in Washington Saturday night
and was introduced by former Con-
gresham Irving Hardy as the next
president of the. United States
Secretary Bryan's reply illustrates
the marvellous ability of the Nebras-
kan for turning what might have
proved an embarrassing compliment
into a pertinent homily on political
duty and tribute as we'll to the pres
ent head of government.
Mr.. Bryan told the diners that he
hoped they would not treasure up
against Mr.. Hardy the political indis-
cretion' he had just committed.
'"He means welI.' Mr.. Bryan said,
"and it only indicates how habit
he learned seventeen years ago has
become fixed.
"I believe the POSTMASTER is of the
opinion OF many Others" Mr.. Bryan
continued, that my highest ambition
has been to become President Of the
United States. That is not so. From
my earliest manhood I have held a
worthier and higher ambition. I have
considered that office as only a means
to an end. consider no one worthy
TO occupy that high office who IS not
more interested in the things that can
be accomplished than In the fame that
It brings.
81 am happy, and want you all to
believe me when say so, to see those
things so near my heart being done by
another, happier than If were in that
place,
'T am happy to see a nation Of peo-
pie change its point of view and adopt
those things which have always been
close to my heart
Mr.. Bryan may never be president,
but it is just such expressions as this
that indicate the greatness Of the man
and give him a warmer place in the
hearts Of his friends than any office
could create for him.
