OF music in two of the most influential
musical organizations in the United

Many other members have worked
earnestly for the advancement Of

Mrs. Ralph Harvey. who have been
the watchers and caretakers of the
clubs funds, we give the credit of al
ways carefully supervising that part
of the work. Last year student
membership was added to the list of

musicians of the city to enjoy all
the privileges of the club and, to
stimulate further study of music
among these young members. several
programs each year are given to
them.

auspices of the Apollo club.
This is Mr.. Werrenrath's second en-
gagement with this organization of
Tulsa sonCsters and all who heard
his program last season are awaiting
his return with keenest anticipation.
The success of Mr.. Werrenrath has
beer phenomenal throuhout the

him the Musical American of october

heard three times instead of once.

program consisted of many charming
numbers-some old classics,-but the

good old tunes we've known from
