Even Williams, the celebrated Welsh
tenor. will be heard in a recital OF
sacred songs in Omaha at the Brandeis
theater on the afternoon of Sunday, Feb.

stops in Nebraska on his way east from
the Pacific coast, where he has been
heard in many of the principal cities.

From the east comes the news that the
Metropolitan Opera company is no more
to submit to the exactions OF exhorbitant
salaries upon the part OF singers with
whom it may make contracts. FAthCt
they will accept the more moderate con-
tracts offered by the management or
some one else will be chosen. From Los
Angeles the leading impresario states that
music schools and clubs will not engage
singers and players at such inflated
sums as have been frequently demanded
before.
The war in Europe which has sent so
many artists 10 our shores is partly the
cause for this change in attitude toward
the leading artist. but according to ]. c.
Freund of Musical America, the real
cause ID that the general public is be-
coming more and more lovers of music.
They have Just so much money to spend
upon concerts, and unless cheaper prices
prevail they will not attend frequently.
Tho solution of the problem in our judg-
ment is cheaper prices, the artists
moderating their demands. but having
more engagements. with the result that
they in the end will make more money
the public will hear better music for
less money, and the managers will make
enough to pay expenses and even secure
profit" said Mr.. FFeund,
