To all who ask me about him my
reply is, "That gentleman is a mas
ter" His impaired sight may be
found in his finger tips. 1t was
nearly half century ago that |
heard that musical black marvel,
"Blind Tom" He was regarded as
world wonder in his deft handling
of the piano by hearing alone. He
could have sat down and listened to
master like Himmelreich and then
be led away to the nearest piano and
reproduce faithfully every tone and
effect that he had heard from the
trained, educated individual who had
just left the keys.
That Electric Light Artist
Prof. Himmelreich is magnificent
ly supported by Mr.. C. w. Wilson,
who in the manipulation of that in
tricate network of electric lights
with the dome of the building as a
starting point, has no equal in this
section of the country and, so far
as | know, no superior anywhere
else. 1t is Unborn and he takes pleas
ure in showing to the public those
rare powers that God has given him.
"The Streets of Shanghai" followed.
1t was a combination of the sublime
and the ridiculous, pleasing to all
classes and serving to wind up an

greatest playhouse now operating IN

made. To correct any flaw in his
election at that time Mr.. Wilson
later had the convention to ratify its
previous action.
Before the convention proceeded
with the election of officers Thurs
day, Bishop w. Sampson Brooks, OF
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, offered a prayer.
The election Of the commissioner
of education was put ahead of the
election of the more important of
fcers. William C. Hueston, the
commissioner, had presided at the
caucuses which had for their pur-
poses the defeat Of Bates and Car
ter. He was recognized as the Viii
son floor leader.
Without having made a campaign
of any kind, Past Grand Exalted
Ruler Scott was nominated by Judge
Edward w. Henry against Mr.. Hues'
ton. Mr.. Scott was given fine COM
plimentary vote. When he saw that
he would be defeated, he withdrew
from the race and moved that the
election of Mr.. Hueston be made
unanimous.
AS soon as Grand Exalted Ruler
Wilson declared him elected, Mr.
Hueston was given the floor and pro.
ceeded to nominate j. E. Kelley, OF
Birmingham, for grand secretary
Past Grand Exalted Ruler McMecher
nominated Mr.. Bates, asking for the
favorable consideration by the Crane
Lodge of his nominee, "who ha:
proved faithful, honest and honor
able"
The tense moment came when Mr.
Nutter, of Atlantic City, obtained
the floor. His brother, T. ellis Nut
ter, a past grand exalted ruler, hat
just seconded the nomination of MIR
Bates. The delegates sensed the dra
matte. Mr.. Nutter paced the plat
form, differing from his brother, anc
argued with the delegates as if they
were jury. He asked for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Kelley.
When Kelley had been given 35(
votes to 215 for Bates, Mr.. Bate
withdrew his name and asked tina

THE MOSQUE THEATRE.

I Especial by John Mitchell, Jr.)
! They have an organist at the
Mosque Theatre now who is reported
to be practically blind. His name is
Ferdinand Himmelreich. He sue
ceeded one of the greatest pianists
and organists in the country. My
inquiry as to his ability to handle
the great Wurlitzer organ in this
magnificent playhouse, suffering as
he was presumed to be from this
handicap, was met with the invitation
to come and hear him play. So on
Saturday night, September 1st, de-
spite the falling rain, | entered this
palatial edifice and saw slender,
well built musician seated in the CEN
ter of blaze of golden light at the
console, as the keyboard of this
great musical instrument is called.
Musical Masterpiece
Soon there flashed on the screen
the announcement of that master
piece, civilian Tell" a most diff
cult musical selection, to be played
by Ferdinand Himmelreich. The
pipes in this great organ are on both
sides of the stage opening. They
are concealed by a golden lattice
work through which the sounds are
emitted. With as much ease as
though he was handling an ordinary
piano, Mr.. Himmelreich proceeded.
Then came the surprising melody. l
could hear the snare drum, the bass
drum, the orchestra, the roll of the
veritable artillery of the skies, while
his fingers danced nimbly and skill
fully from one bank Of keys to the
other.
That Roll Of Thunder
Then came forth a veritable roll
of thunder. Back of the footlights
a realistic lightning scene was pro-
duced and | was led to believe that
the steady falling rain on the out
side had been followed by a regular
storm of thunder and lightning. The
audience was spellbound. Then came
the knowledge that this effect had
been produced by the master at the
console and the artist manipulating
the electric lights unseen, back or
rather on the right hand side of the
stage. The music had been made to
attain such volume as to apparent
ly shake this great Mosque Dulldlng.
Great Applause
With the conclusion of the rendi-
ton came thunderous applause from
the audience. Prof. Himmelreich
gracefully arose and made bow after
bow in a most bewitching and charm
ing manner, showing his apprecia-
ton of the complimentary testimo-
NAL of all who had listened to his
marvellous manipulation of the keys
of this great Wurlitzer organ. The
wonderful combination Of lights by
an unseen artist puzzled me. With
a magnificent, rich cream-colored
curtain as background and the side
decorations as a dressing" he
changed at will the colors of all of it
and utilized every one shown in a
rainbow.
Words Fail
, Beautiful, lovely, grand, sublime,
heavenly. All of these expressions
supply the wealth of words needed to
describe this showing by one who sat
comfortably among the audience en-.
joying it all. I could now under.
!. stand how and why l had been in.
