FLANAGAN PLANS
ARE ASK ABROAD
Local Architect Is Making
Wide Reputation In
Hospital Work

Eric C. Flanagan, Henderson ar
chitect, is making a reputation fo1
his work that is extending far beyond
the bounds of his own county, state
or nation. A request has come from
Budapest Hungary, for plans of the
Edgecombe county hospital at Tar
boro, which he designed and which
has lately been erected.
Mr.. Flanagan designed hospitals
in Roanoke Rapids, the Lee county
hospital, Cabarrus county hospital
and the one in Randolph county, in
addition to two wings at the State
Sanatorium, the new hospital at Dunn
and a new one which is soon to be
erected at Petersburg, Va. In addi-
tion, he has designed a number Of
county homes in different parts of the
state.
The State Board of Health Bulletin
recently carried an article about the
Edgecombe county hospital, and the
description was so complete that gov
ernment officials in Budapest wrote
for the plans.
The Vance county home, erected a
dozen years ago more as a county
hospital, but still more recently con-
verted back to it's former purpose,
was in large measure copied in a num-
Der of counties in Virginia, after a
thorough inspection had been made
of the plant here.
Many of the prominent residences
and some business property in Hen
derson are the result of Mr.. Flan-
nagan'S creative ability.
The new Granville county hospital
at Oxford, completed and occupied
last year, was designed by Mr.. Elan
nagan and has drawn much favorable
comment for it's elaborateness and
convenience, and its general arranoe-
ment for The treatment of the sick

Although less in actual poundage
than last years totals, sales on the
Henderson tobacco market during the

ing $6,344.46, for an average of $13.96
per hundred pounds. This, Allen said,
ran total season sales to 1875, 108
pounds for $4,121, ,381.85, for an aver
age of $21.27 per hundred pounds.
The crop in this section is over a
third shorter than 1887, Aliens state

stated, that, inasmuch as the crop is
one-third shorter in this immediate
section, considerably more outside to-
bacco has been sold here, coming
from far up in Virginia, far Eastern
North Carolina and from the south
and west.
A meeting of tobacco warehouse
men was held Tuesday to decide on
the systems of sales to be used next
year, but the warehousemen recon-
mended that no announcement be
made until final action is taken by
the Henderson Tobacco Board Of
Trade in the near future, Supervisor
Allen said
Only two more selling days of the
present season remained after today
with prospects that season sales would
exceed slightly the total figure OF
19 IL million pounds, according to the
supervisor.

EUGENE ORMANDY, the dynamic

OF records He set one this year for
the amount of new music by Ameri-
can composers on the seasons pro-
grams and anticipates doing equally
we'll by native talent next year. His
newest idea that is simmering is to
nave the orchestra produce a few
operas next year. In this idea he has
the complete sympathy of the pro-
greSslve manager of the orchestra.
Alfred Reginald Allen.
1T is all in embryo of course. right
now, says Ormandy, but I think the
chance for Wagner, with the Phila-
oelphla Orchestra in the pit, is some
thing too good to be overlooked!"
Mr.. Ormandy does not find it diff
cult to have any music lover arouse
enthusiastically over that idea. He is
bringing one of Americas finest sing
ers. John Charles Thomas, in two
brilliant operate selections with the
orchestra April 5. Mr.. Thomas will
sing arias from Verdis Masked Ball"
and Massenet's "Herodiade," as we'll
as two concert songs.
The orchestral numbers will be
Bachs "Toccata in c Major" as or
chestrated by Leo Weiner, as opening
number; Beethoven's Seventh Sym

second group, an orchestral suite of
ballet music, The Three -Cornered

Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook. and
is numbered rs in that collection.
IT WILL be recalled that Richard
Crooks sang with the orchestra
at the Inaugural Concert, January 20,
1897. His career has been typically
American. He got his start as a bow
soprano in his native Trenton, N. J.,
at the same time working hard to pro-
vide himself with the wherewithal to
pursue the serious study of voice. Al
though under age when the United
states entered the World War, he
joined the 626th Aero Squadron. Short
ly after resuming his musical activities
In New York following the war, his
real career began in recital work and
appearances as soloist in orchestral
concerts. The tenor made his opera
tic debut in Hamburg, Germany, in
Tosca' and created a genuine SEN
sation. His first appearance at the
Metropolitan Opera House was made in
1888 in the leading role in Massenet's
"Manon."
The Bach "Brandenburg Concerto
NO. g. is one of the most celebrated
orchestral works originally devised by
that composer for instrumental per-
formance. One of the series of six in
strumental works written for the
Markgraf of Brandenburg, it reveals
perfection OF writing. superb vitality
and original and striking instrumental
effects. Although the work has only
two movements. DR. Kinder adopts the
frequent practice of inserting a slow
movement between the other two as a
contrast. His choice in this instance
is the familiar air from the Suite in
D. made famous by violinists as the
Air for the G String"
RRAHMS' Variations on Theme"
by Haydn is one of the outstand-
ing works by any composer in the var
latlon form. 1t preceded the completion
OF Brahms First Symphony by about
three weeks, being given its first per-
1ormance in Vienna on November 2,
1873. The work was written after
Brahms had completed his first year
as conductor of the Vienna Gesell-
schaft der Musikfreunde and while he
was spending a restful summer in the =
country. Two versions were written
one Tor orchestra and the other for two
pianos. Brahms played the latter ar
rangement for the first time with
Clara Schumann at a memorial per-
lormance IN honor of Robert Schu-
mann in Bonn.
