Three years ago the musical critics
Of New York, Chicago and Kansas
City watched the rise of a new musical
center in Hays, the home of the Fort
Hays Normal. This years musical
festival was the result of years of en-
deaVoT and was presented in the beau
tiful new $500, 600 Sheridan Coliseum,
the Convention Hall of western Kansas,
which seats {, 800 people in comfortable
opera chairs.
Hays is a very fourshing western
Kansas town 1t has a state NORMAL
school with many fine buildings and
over ten thousand acres for an expert
mental farm. It has a fine city and
high school and large parochial school
It has good Catholic hospital, modern
in every respect, and one of the best
cathedrals in Kansas, and also many
other beautiful churches. 1t has miles
of paving with more to be put in soon
and city manager, employed at sal
airy of $1,000 per year. And in addi-
ton to all this, Hays has successfully
put on one of the biggest musical events
ever staged in Kansas, Lindsborg not
excepted. The writer had hepleasure
OF attending the four programs of the
last tive days with only one regret
that it wasn't the beginning instead of
the close.
The program of Saturday afternoon
was very fine and interesting, consist
ing of the children of the grades in can
tata, choruses, and instrumental num-
bers. The violin class of the little peo-
pie was pleasing and the juvenile band
of forty pieces was deserving of speciI
mention, not so much for the musical
ability, as for the fund of energy and
pep displayed. The evening session
was devoted to four soloists from New
York and Chicago and was indeed a
treat, especially in the musical inter-
probation Of Omar Kyam's "In Per-
sian Garden
Sunday afternoon Western Kansas
had the opportunity of seeing the most
discussed violinist of today, the nine
teen year old world marvel, Toscha
Seidel, who held his audience enraptur-
ed from his first to the last note.
In the evening the rendition of Hand
els Messiah" the grandest oratorio
ever written, was both wonderful and
inspiring. 1t was put on with Henry
Edward Malloy as director, with a fifty
piece orchestra and a chorus Of CSC
voices, the solo parts being sung by
the quartet. who received $4,000 foI
their services for the week.
The first Musical Festival of the
Fort Hays Normal is now a matter OF
history, but everyone who attend ed
this year and many more will lock for.
ward with great interest to the event
of like character to be presented in the
coming yeaF.-Colby Free Press.
