 pear Tn Two Concerts

| Charles Wakefield Cadman, plan ist and composer, and Madame Florence Beeler, mezzo contralto, who will appear tonight and to- morrow afternoon in concert at the Palace Theatre under the auspices of the Business and Professional Women's Club, arrived in Juneau three concerts at Ketchikan, all well attended and greatly appre- ciated, and one concert at Peters burg, where the musical inclined are already demanding return en- gagement.
 MT Cadman was billed to appear in Juneau last May but circum- stances over which he had no con- trol prevented fulfilling this en- gagement. He reimbursed the club for all expenses involved.
 Pleased With Reception
 Today in his suite at the Gas tineau Hotel, Mir Cadman said that both he and Madame Beeler were highly pleased with the reception accorded them at the concerts at Ketchikan and Petersburg. "The response was one hundred per cent with a capacity house at all per formances and we both hope that Juneau will find our appearance as satisfactory" he said.
 The melodist who has achieved fame on two continents spoke of the artistic inclination of the peo- pie of Alaska he has already come in contact with so far and he said the concerts at Ketchikan and Pet ersburg brought out crowd that surprised him in their appreciably acceptance of his and Mrs. Beeler''s renditions. The school children at Ketchikan, to whom special mat inee was given, also showed that their artistic education is not being overlooked and also that they were highly responsive to numbers that were in some cases beyond their years, MT. Cadman explained.
 we try MT Cadman went on, ito build our program for the av- craze individual to enjoy. We try to select human interest and char acteriatic numbers that are easily understood and yet are poetlcal and artistical in their compost tion."
 Indian Folk Lore
 "The Indian folk lore songs that I play on the Indian flute always find a ready response" said MT. Cadman, who further told how he first came to study the Indian legends that finally led to his com posing several Indian lyrics that are world famous. It was in 1909 when doing research work among the Omaha and Winnehagos In- dians in Mexico and neighboring States that he wrote "The Land of Sky Blue Waters" which con- position started him on the road to fame that has now brought forth praise from critics over the world. During the concerts here MT. Cad man will play several Indian folk lore compositions of his writing on the real native flute that is used in the ceremonial dances by the natives of the Western States.
 Several operetta numbers, in both the light and heavy trend, will be presented at the concerts, and while these, MT Cadman said, are more serious in their musical nature, they are intended, and we have found that they please the whole of a musical audience"
 Here, as in the towns of Ket- chikan and Petersburg, MT. Cad man and Madame Beeler will pre- sent some Norwegian sketches that have brought loud acclaim.
 The Alaskan engagement of MT Cadman and Mrs. Beeler is the end of a six weeks tour that they have made over the Northwest States. After leaving the north Madame Beeler will return to her Seattle home and Mir Cadman will go on to California from where he will go to New Mexico to be at the large musical event that is to take place there this spring when the new university gives musicale Of over three hundred voices render ing several of his compositions.
