And in order TO give the dear pub
lie what they know, everybody who
is anybody invariably plays and
sings the same thing as nearly as
possible, so that the dear public will
be sure to know it. Is it any Won
der when some brave and unconven-
tional artist who wants first hand
fame everywhere comes out and
dares to playy something both big
and new, that the people look at one
another in puzzled wondermentf
They can't understand it at all.
Why If it weren't for few Of the
chosen ones. who are not afraid to
prove that they can also put 1t
over" with the public in selections
which are not practically known
backwards by the listeners, who
know their personality and art are
big enough to be trusted even
among strangers; who have the
training and the taste and the
energy to search out new and
important works, and were it
not for the photograph to q certain
extent, a person living in Omaha
would hardly know there were more
than three violin concertos ever
written. the Wieniawski, the Men
delssohn and the Brueh. They would
not know there was ever but one
show piece for this instrument,
"The Dance of the COLLINS" by
Bazzini; that Dvorak ever wrote
ANYTHING else but the "Humoresque
and Songs My Mother Taught
Me" They would not know that
there were more than two arias for
sopranos, one Of them being zone
Fine Day" by Puecini, the other,
"Visi d'arte," from Louise" by
Carpenter, or one for baritones,
the prologue from "PagliacCi." They
would not know that there were any
other songs available for encores
except The Last Rose OF SUMMER,
and John Anderson, My 10, John,
and Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes;" that Chopin ever wrote any
large numbers, or anything other
than about FIVE preludes, two noe
turnes and three waltzes, nor that
there were any other Russian COM
posers but Rachmahinoff, or that
he ever wrote anything but the one
piece, the c sharp minor prelude.
But many Of us know that there
is a wealth Of music behind each in
strument and the voice as well.
That Rachmaninoff wrote Is other
preludes which are good music and
that no one ever hears from the
truly great, and that q great artist,
no matter how high he may be on
the pinnacle Of fame, does not have
TO piay chestnuts. 1t is not that the
numbers presented by the great art-
lists are not worthy music. 1t IS
lust that one does not want TO 60
10 the same play every week, even
though there is a different cast.
There Is one other type Of pro-
gram affected by the supposed-to-
be-great-elsewhere artists who visit
Omaha. They sing at the Metro
politan Opera, like Nine. Aida, for
instance. They make a great repu-
tation and they sing for phono-
graphs and are immensely popular
One must admit that in her case she
has one Of the most fiawless voices
which one is privileged to hear. We
