 During the last year Mrs Barry more wrote Poe play" Mr. Hop kins said. MT. Barrymore wanter to appear in it, but both he and Mrs. Barrymore agreed that the play should not be produced if Miss Treadwell felt that it in any way was an infringement upon her play.

LARGE ATTENDANCE
 AT ORGAN RECITAL
Many Marvel at FrederiCkSon'S
 Abiity-.May Repeat Chorus

An audience that filled the church attended the organ recital and dedi- cation at the First Lutheran church
 last evening when the big pipe or gan, recently remodeled, was used for the first time.
 The musical program was said to be one of the best heard in this city for some time, the rendition of the Hallelujah chorus by a mixed choir of 75 voices holding the large au- dience breathless in admiration. "Once More, Dear Home" Wagner composition, sung by the chorus, also pleased the parish members and tbeir friends.
 The program and organ recital by Thure W. FrederiCkson was said to be little short of marvellous. Mir, Frederickson who holds a record for music ability equalled by few, sur prised many who had not seen a complete a demonstration of the ability which won him a college de- gree in music.
 Another feature of the program was singing by the Wennerberg chorus, a trained group of 35 men under the direction of. Rev. Abel A. Ahlquist, himself a musician of note. This chorus has sung in the city a number of times before and grows more popular each time.
 So well pleased were those pres ent with the rendering of the Halle lujah chorus that the choir has been asked to repeat it at some future date.
 The organ, dedicated last evening, was installed in 1907, having two manuals, 27 stops and was equipped with tubular pneumatic action. The builders this summer rebuilt the or gan. added new choir organ, en- closing the great organ and electri- fled the action throughout. It now has 36 stops, 34 of them being speaking registers or sets of pipes and has in all 2,2OO pipes. There are 45 couplers and combination pistons.
