full exuberance of Miss Gluck refused
to ne suppressed.
Through facial play and pantomimic
gestures the accompanist was signalled
to continue playing, and to many in
the audience the incident appeared to
be an exhibition Of temperament or a
subterfuge to cover a moment s lapse
of memory.
1T was ridicuously humorous, said
Miss Gluck after the concert trying
to sing the Chimes with these awful
boards making the weierdest Ginning
noises right under my feet, and the
more | changed positions the louder
they sounded.
This little annoyance was caused by
the weak construction Of the stage, the
carpenters in making it being handi-
capped by lack of time owing to the
large banquet being held so short a
time previously that the statge could
not be properly put up.
NJ. Zimbalist is the extreme oppo.
site to Miss Gluck with the exception
of his genius. He plays in a quietly
Iunassuming perfectly poised manner,
expressing his personality only through
his wonderful music and wonderful it
is. Past describing soft, melting, pull
sating, eloquent Of all that is exquisite
and beautiful,
Both artists were extravagant with
their responses. Mr. Zimbalist gave a
number Of extra selections, Miss Gluck
coming back with "The Little Gray
Home in the West" "My Laddie,
L" Way Down Upon the Swanee Riv-
er" arranged to the music of the
l" l"IIumoresque, Gin Old Virginy, "
/" Comm Thru tn Rye" and "Will
o. tn Wisp."
The numbers in which both appeared
were probably the most appreciated in
an encore for one Of these numbers,
Mr.. 2imbalist being prettily persuaded
by Miss Gluck to play her piano accom-
Ipaniment, he proving himself the master
Of this instrument as well as Of the
violin.
The playing of the regular accom-
paniments by Mr.. Spoor and Mr.. Chot-
zinofP were past criticisms, being in
perfect accord and sympathy through
out.
The decorations, in charge Of r. w.
ILytle, made a beautiful aud harmonious
background for the musicians, deli
cately tinted hyacinths, palms and
greenery being used with soft tonel
hand done stage scene.

Gluck Zimbalist Concert
AT Armory Last Night
~ EAUTY, genius and temperament

IN EAUTY, genius and temperament
~ personfied-suc is Alma Gluck,
who came and sang and captivated
an audience composed of hundreds Of
Salem music lovers and about an equal
ly large number from out.of town, as
sempled at the armory last night. Miss
Gluck, with her husband Efrem Zim-
balist, the celebrated violinist, appear
ed jointly, giving one Of the most artis-
tic finished and altogether delightful
concerts ever taking place in Salem.
Tolay they are gone-to charm otn-
ers elsewhere, but the memory of their
exquisite entertainment remains, for al.
though one might forget the singer and
the musician, they could not forget
their song.
Most celebrities are disappointments
in number of different ways, few be-
ing able to substantiate the eulogies Of
them made by over.enthusiastic press
agents.
Gluek and zimbalist are no disap.
pGntments. Indeed, it is to be won
dered if press agent equal to their
genius could be found.

ating garnture, accentIating her per
sonal attraction to its fullest extent.
Both she and Mr.. Zimbalist respond

to return several times after each mum.

Among the prodigiOus endowment of
gifts which Miss Gluck possesses, sne
probably owes much Of her rapid ad-
vancement to her lovely personality.
Youthful, vivacims, with delightful
naiyete she enthuses and reaches her
Audience in a way impossible to an
older artist. 4 charming demonstra-
tin of these characteristic was given
last hight when Miss Gluck became so
amused at the beginning of "The
Chimes because of squeaking boards
beneath her feet that she was unable
to control her laughter for several mo
ments, making attempt after attempt
to proceed with her song, only to be
overcome with the humor Of the situa-
tion. An older artist would have been
capable OF passing over the incident IN
a more dignified manner, but the youth

embrace civic improvement matters, and lit
erary features. Twice monthly. the club
meets at the Carnegie library building and
discusses topics of live interest. It is mem

clubs. The officers for the year are Mrs. E.
vice president; Mrs. F. A. Ewbank, secre-
tary; Mrs. W. R. Kirk, treasurer; Mrs. Mi
chael Schenck, parliamentarian.
Organized little more than year ago, the
Community club, for men, has taken lead
ing part in the social affairs of the commun-
ity. Housed in it's own building, it looks
forward to future of great usefulness and
pleasure. The club building is model OF
its kind, being ample, artistic and Wel[ap-
pointed. 1t is to be made a clearing house
for all social endeavors among the male
population. Its membership is large and
representative.
The usual number Of card clubs, and other
strictly social organizations, are found in the
.ity, so that life is well-round and p1easanS
in charming Hendersonville.

cured the use of the splendid Highland
Lake club property near here, and went
about gathering select lot of young boys.
The institution has run full force for the
entire year, and has endeared itself to the
community through the splendid force of
teachers and manly boys gathered under its
management. Fleet school is here to stay,
and larger things are predicted for it each
year.
Fruitland Institute

Laurel Park Summer School.
No educational venture in the county has
been more successful than has Laurel Park
Summer school. This excellent school for
boys was established three years ago by Prof.
l. B. Brown, Of the Porter Military Acad-
envy, of Charleston, S. G. The school has
done much to advertise this section, as its
boys are from many localities throughout the
country In equipment nothing is left to
be desired; its teaching corps is carefully
: selected and adequate, Prof. Brown reports
prospects for the largest enrolment in the
schools history this summer.
