There is no team in the American

MENDELSSOHN CHOIR
TO HAVE TWO CONCERTS

The bringing of John Charles
Thomas and Edith Mason, two vocal
artists of international fame, by
the Mendelssohn Choir this season,
has launched this organization into
full activity under the direction of
Elmer Andrew Steffen, conductor.
John Charles Thomas, one of the
most noted American baritones, is
the first artist to whom the Men
delssohn Choir has honoxed with a
return engagement.
Mr.. Thomas appeared with the
choir in this city several years ago,
and it will be remembered that his
brilliant singing thoroughly capt.
waited his audience.
Mr.. Thomas will be the guest art
list of the Mendelssohn Choir in its
fall concert at the Murat Theater
Monday evening, Nov. 10, and will
be the first mid-western appearance
of this artist since his return from
Europe, where he has been con-
certzing.
In the numbers which Mr..
Thomas will sing in this city on
Nov. 10 will be a group of Schubert
songs and the concert will be in
commemoration of the Tooth ami
versary Of the death of Franz Schu-
bert, one of the greatest masters OF
song composition.
The choral program, now in prep
aration by the choir, is one of the
heavieS ever undertaken and will
include eight compositions, three

TEACHERS TO
HAVE PROGRAMS

The Federation of Public School
Teachers will have two concerts this
coming season at Caleb Mills Hall.
Louise Homer will appear on Fri
day night, Nov. 9, and the English
Singers of London on Friday,
March 8.
No musical attraction in recent
years has received such unqualified
praise from the press as the English
Singers, the unique ensemble of six
vocalliistS who will give a recital
here on March 8 at Caleb Mills
Hall.
This group of singers has such a
vogue in New York City that they
gave last season six sold-out recitals
to the general public and filled in
addition thereto over eighty en-
gagements with clubs and musical
societies throughout the United
States. An example of the sort of
superlative praise bestowed upon the
English Singers may be gotten from
the following:
Writing for the New York Times.
the critic Olin Downes said:
"a concert by the English Singers
is for a listener a unique and I'M
forgettable experience, a contact
with a beauty that is rare AMI
haunting, and interpretations that
in their particular kind are I'M
paralleled on the American concert
stage"
Lawrence Gilman, the able critic
of the New York Herald Tribune,
added to this by stating:
ut would be difficult to overpraise
the triumphant skill, the unfaltering
taste, the insight, the delicate mag
NATIVE justice of the Singers. Their
command of mood, of nuance, OF
rhythm, of expressive and charac-
terizing color, leaves one in retro
spect with nothing to speak Of them
but delighted eulogy. They con-
quered their hearers-as they always
do"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-09-29

good news-that "Simba," the great
aimal and explorer movie, will
open the Murat on Oct. z and that
on Oct. Is at the Murat the first
road show of the season will open
at the Murat. The attraction will
be "a Night in SPAIN" which re-
Gently closed a long run in Chicago.
MIR. Miller states that no definite
announcement is forthcoming con-
corning Englishs opening date.
n
Received a telegram from Boston
stating that Jane Thurston, daugh-
ter of Thurston, famous magician,
made her stage debut Monday
night at the Colonial Theater, where
her father is appearing. The tele-
gram states that she made a hit
with her song, my Dad Is a
Hocus Pocus Man" She also as
Sists her father in magic in the
second part of the show. She will
be a co-star with her father like
the team of Fred and Dorothy
Stone.
The Mutual Burlesque Circuit is
to be congratulated upon giving
so per cent of its Thursday matt
nee re jeipts in all Of its theaters,
including the Indianapolis house,
to the Red Cross for aid of the
Florida sufferers. This was a fine
move. Sincere and splendid.
Ernst Heberlein in letter. to me
this week makes the following
splendid suggestion:
MAY I, as a reader of your col
umns, suggest small service that
am sure would be appreciated by
your other readers? The new sound
effect movies often use song and
other musical themes during GER
tain parts of the pictures. Could
you not list these, that is, the most
prominent ones, for us? I think
the selection the Two Guitars was
the theme used in the picture the
Two. Lovers at the Palace last
week, but L don't know what the
name of the rollicking drinking
song used during the early Inn
scenes. Such themes as these run
through. peoples brains and the
title would settle many a BRAIN
storm. The sound movies are doing
great missionary work for classical
music. A jazz song will not &C
company a love scene no matter
how hot either one is"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-09-29

of which will be from the works of
Schubert. Among these will be the
Erl King, which is seldom sung, and
a choral number.
Russian music will dominate the
balance of the program which will
include other composition by Han
del, Bairstow, Elgar and Buzzi Pee
cha.
Edith Mason, who will be the
guest artist for the spring concert,
is the prima donna soprano of the
Chicago Civic Opera, and she has
achieved many notable triumphs in
her long carer in opera and on the
concert stage.

Offer for Five Popular Sunday A.
ternoon Concerts-1,000 Sensitive
Dollars"
In explanation of this announce
ment we read further-"For many
years the artists engaged have been
those whose names spell magic III
the world of music. Some have
spread their magic to the great
public, who eagerly sought admission
to see and hear" Sold Out Houses"
was the result. Others with even
greater magic, when heard, did not
bring sold Out Houses"
But magical names must be paid
for just the same. And. now that
we have seen and heard them all,
are we not read and eager to listen
to music for ri1usic's sake. So truly
are we convinced of this that we
are popularizing the Sunday after
noon series of concerts in price only,
the artistic standard maintained
throughout our years of musical
activity will remain the same.
The novelty number offered by
the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts Enter
prises in their season announcement
is Music from the Ether" a con-
cert demonstration produced by free
movement of hands in air. Leon
Theremin, inventor of this phe-
nomena, came to America on the
wings of success. His demonstra-
lions at Philharmonic Hall in Ber-
lin, at the Grand Opera in Paris
and at Albert Hall, London, have
resounded throughout the civilized
world.
At recent Stadium concert in
New York, more than fifteen thou
sand people sat Spellbound, and
witnessed the nearest approach to
a miracle, according to the New
York critics, SO much so that the
vast audience was almost too as
founded to applaud.
For they were hearing music
without instruments, a voice without
a voice; music not transmitted not
reproduced, but music elected by
the passes Of a conjuror's hand out
of the creative silences of the thing
that we make only a little more
mysterious by calling ether.
