The Mozart Society will present il
concert "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast
at s:15 o'clock Tuesday evening, Janu
airy 10, in Beethoven hall. Earl Ros.
cnberg. the well known choral director
is in direct charge of the production
and an instrumental ensemble, piano
flute. violin and cello, will form the
supporting orchestra.
Coleridge-Taylor first wrote "Hia-
watha's Wedding Feast for a per-
formance at the Royal College of Mu-
sic. South Kensington, London.
Although the music is Indian. and
embodies many Indian characteristics.
the composer has avoided the mistake
made frequently by American compos-
crS along Indian lines-he has avoided
monotony. either of color or rhythm.
"Onaway, Awake. Beloved" is per-
haps the best known of any Of the
solos in the work. 1t will be sung at
the performance here by Lambert
Murphy. the famous concert and oper-
attic tenor.
The peculiar situation of an English
mans setting 10 music the poetry of
an American writer of preceding
generation is found in Hiawatha's
Wedding Feast.
Stranger yet is the fact that Long
fellow himself. for all his interest in
the Indian. had little experience with
them-almost as little as Coleridge-
Taylor himself. Yet. 'Hiawatha" Of
which "Hiwatha's Wedding Feast is
a part. is today the best known poem
with Indians in the world. Its
rhythm accurately represents the ira
ditional Indian conc;scncss, and its

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Chicazo police
had a double reason for seeking a lone
robber who held up McVickers thea
ter. one of the city's largest loop NOV
ing picture houses. and escaped with
$4,000. They believe be is the same
man who on August Q looted $4,000

loop theater.
As the crowd was surging out OF the
theater, a man entered the treasures
office, and after menacins woman
and two men with pistol. scooped up
the box office receipts into 4 Gladstone
bag. mingled with the outgoing crowd
and quickly disappeared.
The robbers description is identical
with that Of the men who held up the

ira. He at once engaged him for a
tour with the Boston orchestra, on
which he so firmly established himself
with the public that the number of

Down at Augusta, Ga, that pic

the Savannah River, Cobb is rated
one of the most influential citi-
Gems. The Cobb home Is one Of
the sights of the little city.
There's a sprightly youngster In
the Cobb home-and he has no
laundering for baseball. Many major
league clubs played in Augusta on
their way North in April. But
young Cobb never took the trouble
to 90 to the ball park to see them.
When Bill Tilden arrived to play

out at the courts.
With all his prestige and all his

son will go in a year or two.
