There are thousands of successful,

theaters conducted under a strict

To many of the local Swedish sing
ers these words mean the realization
of long cherished dream.
Ever since the organization of this
union of singers in 1892 some one or
several of the local society have at
tended the conventions and festivals
in different parts of the country and
they have always felt that some day
the psychological moment would ar
rive for Omaha to extend its invita-
ton to these singers and have the
same accepted.
And, sure enough, that moment ar
rived, when, four years ago at Duluth,
the local society, "Norden," captured
the 1916 festival for our city. Feel
ing confident in Omaha's ability to
stand back of them in their assertions,
they let it be known that our city was
determined to play the part of host to
this convention in manner that
would be revelation to the Amer
lean Union OF Swedish Singers in their
many years OF festival experience.
The date OF the festival is now but
few days ahead and the local sing
ers feel extremely gratifed that every
promise made for the pleasure and
entertainment of the visiting singers
will be more than redeemed, thanks to
the splendid support given the local
festival organization, headed by
Messrs. S. Simonson, Francis Sieborg
and John Larson, fest president, secre-
tary and treasurer, respectively. The
various business, organizations, the
splendid press Of the city and state,
as well as musical societies and indi-
vidual music lovers altogether too
numerous to mention, have all given
their best effort in way that will
spell success in large letters over this
undertaking. ....
In return for the splendid hospital
ity OF the city the 500 visiting singers
stand ready to give their very best.
For many months the societies consti-
tuting the union have drilled on the
mass chorus numbers selected for this
festival, under their respective direc-
tors, the general lines Of interpreta-
ton for these numbers having been
given by Director-in- Chief Joel Moss
berg of Chicago, and the rehearsal OF
the grand ensemble which will start
Monday morning and will last until
every wish of the director in-chief is
fulfilled, will find every singer perfect
in his part and with observant eye
watching for every nuance that the
baton may call for.
Aside from this dozen OF the Wis
iting choruses will appear In selections
in the preparation of which they have
put their very soul, anxious as they
are to excel their accomplishments at
former festivals.
In selecting vocal soloists for this
festival one could hardly imagine
happier choice than Nine. Marie Sun-
delius, soprano, of Boston, and Albert
Lindquest, tenor, Of Chicago. They
have appeared numerous times at
these festivals, wherever held, and are
always in demand, they being richly
endowed artists as well as most pleas
ing persons.
The one, instrumental soloist en-
gagged for this festival IL: Miss Corinne
Paulson, we'll known not only In
Omaha, which is the cradle of her
artistic career, but also in musical CEN
tiers in the east and Europe, ,she hav-
ing filled engagements in the larger
piano works with such organizations
as the Berlin Philharmonic, New
York Symphony and other famous
orchestras. .

electric meter Is and what Il is about.
It is well worth while to know these
details; and they are set forth in ex-
plicit and simple terms, that any
body can understand, in Mr.. Rey-
nolds' article on the electric light
situation in The Times today.
Washington wants cheaper electric
lights, and wants a square deal
from the lighting company. The 10
cent rate in this town is excessive
as compared to rates in other cities
fairly entitled to be compared with
Washington. Overcapitalization and
excessive earnings of the company
absorb the public's money, extorted
from it through unreasonably and
unjustifiably righ rates.
At present exorbitant rates, it is
certainly worth while to learn how
you can keep your light bills as low
as possible; and information on this
point is likewise afforded by today's
article on the electric situation.
