Back in the early SOS, when Gilbert
and Sullivan were scoring big sue
cesses with "Pianfore, a novelty was
put forward in the shape of children's
companies after the older ones had
gotten everything possible out of the
tuneful opera. In organizing these
companies it was an easy matter to
secure the children for the choruses
and even ma jority of the principal
parts, but comedians held up many
of the organizations, as they were
hard to find. The Dick Deadeye
character required acting as well as
singing, and when a frail lad ac-
companied by his mother applied for
the position down al the old Ford
Opera House, later the Bijou. Manager
Ford was glad to give the youngster
a chance. The kid" was Willie Col

Verbrugghen is the conductor.
The story of the organization of
the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra

Philharmonic Club, which gave four
concerts each year. Emil Oberhoffer

Guilty was experienced in giving a fin-
ished performance on account of the
inability of Mr.. Oberhoffer to recruit
proper orchestra to carry the instru-
mental burden. Every rehearsal and
every concert meant practically diff
ferent orchestra, for the players were
simply hired at a certain price for
each time they showed up. If any
other engagement offered more induce.
ment, the players would not appear.
The result was that the concerts were
unsatisfactory. to say the least.
To solve this problem, it was sug-
gested that sufficient fund be raised

largely as matter of Offering sufficient
employment to make the proposition
attractive to the musicians. The sum
of $4,000 was arrived at as enough,
and was raised at a luncheon one day
given by E. L. Carpenter, a music
enthusiast.
The season was a success. The Min
neapolis Symphony Orchestra had
come into existence, and the man who
gave the luncheon was it's president,
and still is. Since then the original
guaranty fund has been increased to
$4,000 per year and the original IL
subscribers to 500. The Philharmonic
