Sacred Concert
GOOdDyn Institute
HOUck Memorial

| Opening the winter series of Sunday
afternoon sacred concerts, to be given
| under the auspices of the music com
| mittee OF the Chamber OF Commerce, OF
| which f. r. Barrow Is chairman, the
| one Sunday will be a memorial to the
late o, X. Houck, who perhaps did more
TO foster and promote development of
that art in Memphis than any indi-
vidual who ever resided here.
The program will be a miscellaneous
one, and participating therein will be
! representatives of every important mu-
| steal organization in the city. The fact
| that this Is true, and that not single
refusal to have a part met the request
OF the committee. attests the great es-
TEEN In which Mr.. Houck was held. If
there was one thing he strived for more
than all else in his efforts to promote
good music here, 1t was to have CO.
operation in the common cause of
music.
Serving as a subcommittee to have
charge of the concerts and provide and
arrange programs are Miss Valerie Far
rington. chairman; Mrs. ]. f, Hill, Mrs
w. C. Early, Or. A. B. Williams and
C. A. Pinson. They request the public
to be prompt in getting to the Goodwin
institute, where all of the concerts
win be held, beginning at o'clock, and
to observe the rule that there be no APP
plause. There are to be no encores,
and 1t Is planned to supervise the pro-
grams and keep them within a limit OF
one hour and half.
The programs for the series of con-
certs are to be furnished free by the
Witzmann music house, while no adj
mission will be charged at any of them.
Following is the program for the first
concert which is termed tribute
from the musicians of Memphis"
