Music Committee Busy.

The music committee Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, through its chair
man, E. r. Barrow, in cooperation
with the park commission and the
heads of musical, civic and educa-
tional interests. will soon announce
the name of a municipal director OF
music and community singing, which
is expected to give stimulus to de-
partment of musical activity which
has long been needed, but unfortu-
nately not given the attention de-
served. The other big effort of this
organization, whose interest is en-
tirely without expectation of finan-
cial reward, is to bring the Scott
opera company here in the spring for
another series of operas, which will
be the climax Of the season. The
success of previous efforts OF the
chamber in bringing this wonderful
organization here and the growing
appreciation of the company wher-
ever it appears, having recently COM
pleted the most successful and long
est tour in its history, causes espe-
cial interest in its plans for next
spring. The time and length of the
coming engagement have not been de-
cided upon, nor have contracts been
entered into, but there is practically
no doubt of their coming.

already started, their initial concert
having proven very successful, while

MUSICAL SEASON
IS RICHEST EVER
/. OFFERED MEMPHIS
Surpasses Last Years Chiefly
in Quality and Impresses
Urgent Need of Municipal
Auditorium.

While the musical calendar for the
last season in Memphis contained
more of the sensational and great
names, such as Galli-Curci, Freida
Hempel, Mary Garden and others as
the stellar attractions, the artists
who will be heard this season repre-
sent an artistic value unequaled on
the concert stage. One of the most
interesting features of the feast pre-
pared for music lovers is that OF IN
finite variety. All forms of music,
voice, piano, violin, cello, harp, en-
semble, both vocal and instrumental,
and finally grand opera to close the
season, will be presented--and by IA
nous artists.
Already Memphis people have en-
joyed part of the artistic feast, which
| but whets their taste for more. There
has been~ gratifying attendance, in
spite of the greatly altered business
and financial conditions from those
prevailing for the past few years
| 1t is believed to be indicative of the
growing appreciation of this, the
| finest of all arts and increases the
desire to have the municipal audito-
| rum built so that the masses, that
great mine of attendance possibilities
may be able to lend their presence
through the cheapness of prices.
| With the entire country in the
| throes of a business reaction, and the
South especially hard hit because OF
| having to carry over unsold so large
a part of last years cotton crop, and
the present one having cost more
than any previous one to grow, thu
efforts of the several managers anc
clubs to carry out their promises u
the public are fraught with grea
risk. 1t will perhaps be a case o
where present profits will be out o
the question and maybe some actua
losses must be pocketed. as the con
tracts with the singers and players
call for tremendous stipends based OF
standards set before the business re
action became so rapid.
