Orpheum.
Every member of the audience as he
entered the theater had been pre-

Everybody was chewing it, chewing

Many of the delegates brought their

Mrs. brennan broke into the song

with Mrs. brennan, but the tune was
adopted from a former popular air.
The song was given try-out during
the boat trip on the Mississippi and
later was tried at the parks and today
was taken to the convention hall.

NO SEX TO VOTES
Progressive Women to Join
Party That Aids Suffrage.

She declared the party in power
inevitably will be held responsible for
its record on the national suffrage
amendment in November.

Martin 'I speak as a member of the
great party 1, myself, would like to
support and also to urge all Nevada
women to support next November. We
are using no threats; we do not need
to. for we have the votes We are
giving the Democrats their great OPP
portunity."

Mrs. Ida Finney MacRille, of Sacra-
mento, Cal, member of the Pro-
gressive party, said in part:
81 am a Progressive voter from
California. Four years ago we Pro-
gressive women of the west were stir
red to enthusiasm and zeal by the
formation of a new party with plat
form declaring for human rights above
property rights. We women are loyal
and are looking forward to the time
when all those principles shall be writ

that confronts US? What shall we do

AMUSICAL OLA PODRIDA
FROM PERCY GRANGER
From Bach to the Music Hall-A
Recital In AeOIian Hall

Mr.. Percy Granger gave recital OF
pianoforte music in Aeolian Hall yes
terday afternoon. II was announced
as the only recital which he will give
in the city before next spring and was
for the benefit of the Manassas Indus
trial School for Colored Youth. The
statement acquired q special signifi-
canoe from the fact that the audience
was not numerous. and this fact, which
ordinarily might have been passed over
without record. took meaning because
of its indication of the attitude OF the
public toward concerts of its charac-
ter this season. A fortnight ago MI
Harold Bauer, one of the most popular
concert givers last year. had similar
experience. There has already been as
much recital music this season as used
10 suffice New York ten years ago for
four months: and we are only at the
beginning. Is the public already fear
full of a surfeit?
Mr.. Granger is In all respects out
Of the ordinary; he has put himself
into class without associates IN re-
gard to his compositions. his playing
and his programmes. He has charm
ing qualities, but also a singular knack
for shocking what the majority OF peo-
pie. including mis- admirers. consider
sound judgment and good taste. Why
he does il is his affair Why he should
mix finely intellectual performance
of a Bach Suite with an utterly un-
poetical reading Of Chopin's "Barcs-
rolle," Aippant Keeling off of the waltz
in A-iat. some pretty but inconseouen-
tial settings Of Dutch folksongs by
julius Roentgen, a worse than inconse-
ouentiaI thing called The Garden Of
Soul Sympathy" by Cyril Scott. and
some of his original efforts to idealize
music hall tunes. is beyond our COM
prehension or our willingness TO under
take to explain. IL all seemed like
waste Of fine artistic ability.
