not bother to send notices at all. 1t
these notices are Immediately per-
ceived and acted upon, how much
easier it becomes to catch and rec
ognize them at other times. 1t is like
that old game where each one in a
party is admitted to a room for
few seconds, and upon coming out he
writes down all the objects he saw
in the room, and the one who sees the
most wins the prize. After playing
this game often one can become re-
markably quick in noticing a great
many things, and in music, if one is
alert and observant, and one listens
often, the powers of observation can
be remarkably expanded. And in
music there is this beauty about it,
that observation is akin to appre-
citation. &

Philip Hale, writing in the Boston
Herald, recently calls to mind the
fact that the opera Lucia" was not
at. the beginning soprano to star
soprano. 1t was written for tenor,
Gilbert Duprez, and in all the Italian
cities. in Paris, in London, in New
York, everywhere, the act that was
most eagerly awaited was the last, in
which Edgardo bids farewell to earth.
The mad scene was thought only one
of the episodes. The question was
not, who was the Lucia, but who sang
Fdgardo?
Music is love in search of word"
said Sidney Lanier, according to the
musical leader. Yet how many of its
disciples interpret it that way?

This is the third performance of this pro-
gram, but the first one in Omaha, it having
been most enthusiastically received in Coun-
Gil Bluffs. where it was given short time
ago. All violinists are familiar with the
lovely Bach doubler concerto for two violins, |
two movements of which will open the |
program. The Vivaldi concerto for three
violins and piano Is very rare concerto, |
and to my knowledge has never been played |
in Omaha, and Miss Anderson says but few
violinists have ev-r heard it. The Navarro
is brilliant number by Sarasate for two |
violins. Romance by Grieg and Intermede
by Chaminade are two delightful numbers |
for two pianos. This program is decidedly |
out Of the ordinary, and, as there is no ad-
mission charged, large and interested audi |
ence should avail themselves of the op-
portunity Of attending.
