Both are played by Joseph c.

which are guaranteed to set feet
a-tapping in impatience for the
dance. Bill Murray and Ed Small
offer the "Dardanella Blues" a Sc

the same success; while the Peer

come to expect from them.

SMITH SERIES
PROVEPOPULAR
Ten Star Course Brings Fa-
nous Artists at Mod
est Prices.

Washington has always had its
great concerts for those who could
AFFORD to paronize them. But, for
all that, Washington has really be-
come what the profession terms "a
musical city" only in recent years.
In this development Of the popular
taste in this city, perhaps no in
diyidual has played a greater part
than has T. Arthur Smith, whose
annual series of Ten Star Con-
,certs" has now become a necessity
20 thousands
This series Of concerts was in
9ugurated by Mr.. Smith in October,
ts14, and IT proved splendid sue
ycess especially in increasing interest
in good music and in making 1t
possible to bring to this city new
and rising celebrities Of the musical
world. In this series the prices OF
admission charged have been strong
factors in its success. Ten concerts
are given for $40, and in these con-
certs both vocal and instrumental
artists are introduced, many OF them
later becoming national celebrities.
It was the Ten Star Concert Sc
ries that introduced to Washington
the wonderful Leginsky, Max Rosen,
Thelma Given, Eddie Brown and
Hans Kinder. Gabrilowitsch, whose
piano melodies sing like ripping
waters, first came to this city as
a Ten Star artist, as did Lucy Gates,
who has taken the place Of CALI
Curci time and again and won the
highest praise from critics. The
series also brought here for the
first time in recital the distinguished
French pianist, Alfred Cortot.
Many others might be mentioned
who have been thus brought within
the hearing of hundreds to whom
even 81 for a concert is sacrifice.
The series merits the splendid pa
tronage. that has been given it, and

means it will grow in the excellent

JENNY LIND'S PIANO
STILL PLAYABLE

OF particular interest to the
music trade is the fact that the
original piano used by Jenny Lind
at her first American concert in
1850. and at her subsequent appear
ances in New York, was on the stage
at Carnegie Hall at the recent ami
versary celebration and was used
for the Accomplishments and was
played personally by Frieda Hempel
for the encores just as at the first
concert seventy years ago. There
is still to be seen distinctly on the
plate of this old square piano the
autograph of Jenny Lind, placed
there. after her first concert in 1850
as a testimonial of her enthusiastic
approval of the tonal quality and
general excellence of the instru-
ment.

 Touching on the influenza situation last year Mir. Hutchins says
 The year just ended has been full of unusually difficult problems for the heads of the different departments of the hospital. Ill the year 1918 no hos pital event exceeded in importance and seriousness the epidemic of influenza which burst upon Norwich in Sep tember. and at the end of the year was still prevalent, though to 8 les sened degree.
 For number of weeks practically the entire hospital was given over to the care of influenza patients. Most of the medical and surgical beds were occupied by them, eJily a very few beds being reserved for emer- gency cases. While we have only ninety beds, ninety -seve, patients were daily cared for for weeks tax ing the nurses and others to their utmost. Patients who could not be cared for at home or those in almost dying condition it was necessary to get out of their homes to, ease the problem of home management or less seriously sick ones. Many died in a few hours after being brought to the hospital. More than half of our nur- ses were i'll with influenza at one time: two died from the disease contracted in the isolation ward; those who re- covered begged to be sent back on duty as soon as possible that they might again be of assistance. One of our employes who assisted in every conceivable way contracted the dis case and died.
 In handling influenza cases every precaution against contagion was used everyone being gowned, capped and masked and great care in washing of hands was insisted upon.
 The report expresses the highest ap- preciation of the fidelity, energy and efficiency of Miss Dowd and her as- sociates.
 In his report Mir. Hutchins says the new X-ray room is about completed and an order for the X-ray apparatus purchased by subscriptions of friends of the hospital has been placed. It is expected that the new X-ray room will be ready for use within a short time.
