About two hundred and twenty
five persons availed themselves of
the oppor tunity to go to Denver
on Sunday on account of the low
rate of one dollar that was
charged on the round trip. This
excursion was arranged primarily
to give people chance to hear
Billy Sunday and a very large
number of those who went took
advantage to hear this prominent
evangelist. There were great
many who made the excursion to
take in the two ball games between
Sioux City and Denver. The

There are growing indications that

CAPITAL GIRL WILL
SING IN "P|NAF ORR"
Miss Agnes WheIan Selected for
Part of Josephine in Revival
of Opera.

| It has recently heen said that one OF
! the reasons Washington has been so
/ long an unrecoCnized producing center
for musical ability lies in the fact that
Washington musicians do not recognize
themselves. The prophet who was
without honor in his own country had
it all over the singer or Instrumental
ist-because there never was enough
steady jobbing in the prophet busi-
ness to make it profitable by itself,
while the musician Usually has onlj
music as a means to a living, and mu-
sic has never been carried very far
as side line II is too big. Every
little while some big concert singer or
performer who has gained note IN the
various recognized Centers comes to
WASHINGTON to be recognized with SUR
prises as one Of our own people. a case
in point is Agnes Whelan. This young
woman has been working hard for sew
eral years past to take very hne
quality of natural voice through the
various processes needed to make II
finished instrument for the lnterpreta-
ton of the masterpieces or melody. BY
pursuing the kind of a course of stud
that rounds natural ability into the
highest forms of art. under Mrs. Anne
L. Goodhue. Miss Whelan has accom-
plished a great deal. but it was not
until last week when il was announced
that this young woman had ben Sc
lected to sing the part of Josephine
in a festival production of Gilbert &
Sullivan's "Pinafore'' at Gettysburg.
Pa. that local musicians really under
stood just how great her claims Were to
fame. OF course, Miss Whelan has
been singing here for several years. and
she was regarded as having a very rine
voice. But it took the outside recogni-
ton of her ability TO bring home TO
Washington the real excellence of the
singers attachments. Miss Whelan goes
to Gettysburg tomorrow. and il is un-
derstood that the other members OF the
cast selected are among the very best
singers in Pennsylvania, which only
what we started out to say.
