 NEW PIPE ORGAN THURSDAY NIGHT
Audience at Recital at St. Mary's To Be Limited To Seating Capacity of The Church

Plans for the recital at St. Mary's Catholic church tomorrow evening. when the magnificent new pipe organ recently installed there will be blessed and played in public for the first time, were completed yesterday, according to E. c. Stuitz, who has been mainly responsible for the erec- ton of the instrument and who is in charge of the recital. The pro- gram, which is being arranged by the organists who are to play the organ for the recital, will be an- nounced tomorrow.
 Coupled with the announcement is the decision of those in charge of the recital to limit the size of the audience to the capacity of the church, so that music lovers may enjoy the program with a maximum of comfort. Only the pews are to be occupied by the audience and no chairs will be placed in the aisles, although this would increase the sea ting capacity of the church by several hundred. With the limita- tion of the audience, it is planned that not more than 1000 tickets shall be sold, SO that those who wish to attend the recital are requested to make their reservations today at the Eagle drug store, Central avenue. be- low Washington street. Reservations are being made already from every city in the county, and as far south as Tucson, so that those who wish to attend the concert are urged to make their arrangements without loss of time.
 Another point of importance is that it is desired that there shall be ab- solutely no interruptions during the recital, and to this end it is re- quested that ticket holders be il their places before o'clock, at which time the recital will begin. The doors of the church will be open at 7:15 o'clock and all seats will be re- served.
 The recital will begin with the blessing of the organ by the Rev Father Novatus Benzing. pastor oi St. Mary's church, who will be as- sisted by other members of the Franciscan order in the city. The recital proper. which is to include a number of solos by leading vocalists of the city, then will start.
 The organists of the recital are to be J. J. Fleckenstein, organist and choirmaster for the Franciscan or der in Chicago. and the Rev. Virgile Geneveria of Globe, who is num- bered among the first twelve organ ists of both Europe and America, and whose reputation, first gained in the leading churches of Europe. has been continued in this country wherever organ music is loved. These two organists are arranging the program, which is to be so diversified as to give complete idea of the beauties | and capabilities of the new instru- ment.
 The organ, which was selected by | MT. Stultz after a tour of the Pacific | coast and all the middle westerI states, during which time he ex- amined scores of instruments, is ono of the largest church organs in tho southwest. A product of the Estey | Organ company, it has 29 speaking stops, 1900 pipes and five organs the great organ, the swell organ, thu choir organ. the echo organ and th' pedal organ. It is declared to hay' | the only echo organ in this part o l the west, and the variety of com
 binations possible on the instrumen
 is said to fit it for the perfect rendi
 ton of all classes of music. Thi
 type of organ is intended to serve a
 a standard model for the present am
 future requirements of the Catholi
 church for both the Gregorian serv
 ice and for the more ornate musi
 of festive occasions.
 After two years of effort on tn part of Mir. Stultz, the installation
