MEMBERSHIP GROWS
IN LOCAL UNION

The continued increase in mem
bership of the Washington local of
the Musicians Protective Union,
which has been so conspicuous since
it has had it's own building in E
street. has resulted in total of one
thousand musicians on its roll. OF
this number about twenty-five are
women players who are entitled to
equal rights and privileges with
the men members. The local was
organized in 1901 with thirty mem
bers.
An examination of the records Of
this organization shows, as would
be expected, that the members play
ing the violin and piano are greatly
in the majority. The smallest num-
Der of players Is credited to the
harp.
At the last election Of officers the
following members were elected:
A. Courtney Hayden. president; A.
Cello. vice-president; William NJ.
Lynch, secretary; Harry C. Man
veil, treasurer; Richard Crawford,
sergeant at arms. The directors
are, John E. Birdsell, Ray D.

GAINED FAME
YHARD WORK
Anna Case, Now Famous,
Once a Penniless Little
Girl.

Wherever there is music in
America the name OF Anna Case is
known. II Anna Case had not been
gifted with one of the most exquisite
Voices in America, if she were not
one of the most beautiful women
on the concert platform. she would
still be a dominant figure in any
gathering. she would still draw
multitudes of admirers by that most
wonderful possession - her deter
mined optimism-that breathes the
spirit of true Americanism. That
heritage, nurtured and matured by
an early life of sacrifice, is the secret
of her success.
In the little New Jersey home
where she was born, the music world
she wanted to know was frowned
on. But she was an American, and
she earned her way. By day she
travelled from home to home in that
little community giving lessons to
reluctant little fingers and in the
evening she studied a course of
training that she herself had
planned. She sang in churches, at
festivals. and finally. unknown and
practically penniless, but rich in
grit, determination and American
ism, came to New York. determined
to be somebody in the music world.
The dress she wore at her first
concert recital in New York, she
borrowed, but she herself earned
every cent that paid her way to
fame.
The world now knows of her sue
cess as an opera singer and concert
recitalist and as a featured artist
for the phonogrph. Homes that love
good music possess a Photographic
recreation of her voice; every true
music lover would be ashamed to
say that he had not heard her in
concert recital
But few think when they see her
on the concert platform, the tall,
graceful American woman, ap-
plauded by thousands, that she was
once a lonely, often discouraged,
penniless little girl who drove d
faithful old horse in sunshine and
rain from little home to little home
to earn the pennies that meant her
success today. Few know that this
world d-applauded star once deprived
herself of everything but absolute
necessities so that she might meet
the weekly singing bill and then
practice the new lesson until the
midnight hour. Few know that the
weary little head often rested al
most till morning on the piano keys
in the plain little New Jersey viii
lage home Of her childhood.

PICKS DANCE MUSIC
OUT OF THE SKIES

Many unusual stunts in connec-
tion with the development of the
wireless and photograph recently
have proved that material for
thrills still exists in this supposedly
prosaic age.
From Gettysburg. Pa, comes the
news that an orchestra playing
dance music in Philadelphia was
overheard" by a wireless in the
former city and though 125 miles
away from the musicians the caves
dropping wireless was able to re-
peat the musical message perfectly.

rections.
George Miller, assistant instructor
at the College Wireless Station in
Gettysburg, was the first to dis
cover that his, wireless apparatus
was picking UP by ear" the per-
fectly good music of the Philadel-
phia orchestra. Later several COL
lege students took up the receiver
and got the benefit of the long dis
tance dance music.

LITTLE-KNOWN
LIBRETTISTS
Light Thrown on Those
Aiding Famous Com
poserS.

The honor which is denied a
prophet in his own country fades
into a triviality when compared to
the neglect allotted to the librettists
Of the grand operas. The names of
the composers and the names Of the
singers are blazoned forth. but the
creators Of the lyrics remain in OBJ
scurity. The truth of this state
ment was strongly emphasized in
the life of Augustin Eugene Scribe
which was detailed recently in the
Sunday Herald.
There are very few instances
where the composer of the music
was also the writer of the text. The
most conspicuous OF these isolated
cases are The Barber of Bagdad," )"
written by Peter Cornelius, which
did not take the place to which 1t
was entitled until fifteen years after
the composers death; Gustav Albert
Lortzing's "Czar and Zimmerman"
a popular opera in the best sense
OF the word; Gustave Carpenters
Louise; and that most successful
.
acci." or course. the principal COM
poser OF this class was Richard
Wagner, whose operas are, in truth,
the "Wagnerian operas"
Although unnumbered thousands
have listened to the lingering mel
odies of Verdfs I'll Trovatore,"
there are but few persons to rec
ognize the name of Salvatore Com
merano as the author of the gloomy
and depressing text. Mozarts most
beautiful opera, Don Juan" owes
not a little of its success to the
unusually elevating text by Da
Ponte. In writing his "Othello," a
work which secured for him an
honored place among the best dra-
matte composers. Verdi had an ex-
cellent second in the capable mind
of Arrigo Boito. To the thoroughly
amusing and interesting text by
Friedrich Is due a considerable por-
tion of the prosperity of Flotow's
Martha" In his "Alessandro Stra-
della" Flotow was again aided by
this writer. That delightful fairy
tale in three pictures, "Hansel and
Gretel," with it's musical embel-
lishment by Engelbert Humper-
dinck, is dependent very largely for
its success to the text by Adelheid
Wette. a sister OF the composer.
jacques Offenbach is known as the
composer of Les Contes D'Hoff-
mann," but the glories of this op-
era should be shared by Jules Bar
bier.
Another librettist of unusual brill
liancy was the German dramatist
Salomon Hermann Won Mosenthal.
He was born at Cassel in 1921,
studied at Marburg, and in 1850 be-
came an official in the ministry of
public instruction at Vienna. He
was soon afterward appointed min
isterial archivist. His investitude
with the Order Of the Iron Crown
in 1871 conferred knighthood upon
him. He is chiefly known by the
dramas Deborah" numerous edi-
tons being known in English as
Leah, the ForsakenD. and Der
Sonnenwendhof" which have been
presented with success and have been
translated into several languages.
During the ffty-six years in which
he lived he also wrote the librettos
for number of well-known operas.
notably The Folkungs" with the
music by Edmund Kretschmer; The
Golden Cross" of Ignaz Brull. and
Anton Rubinstein's THE Maccabees."
The most familiar of his writings
form part of Nicolai's The Merry
wives of Windsor" and Goldmark's s

STRAIN OF EXAMS"
EASED BY MUSIC

To overcome the undergraduate
bogy of final examinations, Harvard
University this spring introduced
music during the examination pc
riod. The experiment is said to have
proved beneficial.
.1usic recitals of ten minutes
each were given in Appleton Chapel
preceding the examinations under
the direction of Professor A. T.
Dawson. university choirmaster.
Light classical selections were
played, and they had a stimulating
effect alike upon the students who
had sat up all night "cramming"
themselves with information and
those who were sluggish from over
sleep.

The reputation of J. Adam Bede. who will address the people of Phoenix to- night, ought to test the capacity of the Y. M. c. A. stadium. Democrats and Republicans alike will enjoy hearing Mir. Bede, though the former may not agree with all that he will tell them. But they will learn from him that all is not bitterness in politics. What he will probably have to say on the sub ject of the Non-Partisan movement in the Dakotas and Minnesota alone will be worth hearing.
 The meeting will begin promptly at B o'clock and there will be no other speakers than MT. Bede. The audi ence will therefore be able to leave the | stadium before the air gets unpleas- antly chilly and. in the meantime they will hear a great deal, for Mir. Bede
