FIRST SYMPHONY CONCERT
Classical Muslo tollo Rendered by Local
Tolcnt-Ncw Song by a Scranton Composer-Pauline
Gllden-Chapman
and the Ladies White Orchestra.
The' first copies of "Darling Helene,"
the new song by Edward A. Nlven and
Ueorge Noyes Rockwell, were placed
ou sale at the city music stores this
week. "Hailing Helene" in a sentimen
tal song of the mt.nt attractive class,
and possesses qualities that will no
doubt make It one of the popular selec
tions of the day. The words are writ
ten In Mr. Nlven's best- vein and are
well calculated to appeal to the hearts
of all possessing sentiment In the slight
est degree. The opening stanza, as fol
lows, Is supplemented by two others of
equal delicacy and pathos:
There's a name I recall
"lis the sweetest of them all
The dear gentle name of Helene.
The blossoms that grew
In the fields that she knew
Mourn sadly for gentle Helene. '
And they sigh 1
And they ery
In tho meadows and glen
Oh! darling Helene, come hack again, i
In his handling of the musical theme
Mr. Hock well bus been equally success
ful and has produced a snug that em
braces a simple, yet charming melody;
of which It woiild seem one might never
the. The music Is written in the key
of E flat and has a range from d to f, a
little more than an octave. In the ar
rangement of this fascinating air to Mr.
Xlven's lines, Mr. Kockwell has demon
strated anew his rare ability as a com
poser and has produced a work that
will In all probability net handsome
financial returns.

The announcement of the date of the
first concert by the Symphony orches
tra, which will occur on Friday evening,
Nov. 'ii, will be received with pleasure
by music lovers In this city. Few peo
pie appreciate the undertaking of the
organization of a symphony orchestra
In an Inland city and Theodore Hem
berger's enterprise and efforts to ele
vate musical taste In this section should
receive the hearty endorsement of our
Citizens. The symphony orchestra that
will appear at the Academy of Music
fin Friday evening will Include fifty
Two performers, drawn from tho pro
fessional and amateur ranks of Scran-
ton and AVilkes-liarre, and . the pro
gramme presented will be all that can
be desired by lovers of the classic. In
addition jto the flie orchestral pro
gramme presented, Joseph PIzzarello,
one of the greatest pianists, will render
selections. The organization of the
Symphony orchestra lias not been per
fected with the idea of great financial
rotitrns, but simply for the purpose of
elevating the local musical taste, and
It is hoped that the movement Will re
ceive the support of every music lover
in the city.

The second entertuinment of the
Frothlneham series will take place on
Monday evening, when the Ladles' Or
chestra will be assisted by Fred Emer
son Brooks, the California poet-humor
1st. The young ladles of the popular
orchestra will render a new and pleus
ing programme, In which the soloists,
will have ample opportunity to display
their particular talents. Mr. Brooks Is
wild to b one of the best of his class on
the lecture platform.

It Is well known that theatrical talent
was hereditary in the Wagner family
and simply reached its climax in Rich
ard. Johanna Jachmann-Wagner, who
died on Oct. 16, aged Oli, was a daughter
of Richard's brother, Albert, the dra
matic tenor. When Richard was royal
conductor at Dresden he heard his
niece and was so well pleased that he
secured an engagement for her at the
Royal Opera, where she created the role
of Elizabeth in "Tannhauser" at the
nge'of 17; a performance which pleased
him so much that he made her a present
of a gold bracelet. This was the begin-
ing of a brilliant career as opera singer,
her voice combining, according to L.um
ley, "the resources of soprano and con
tralto In one." She was a favorite of
Meyerbeer, who often accompanied her
when' she sang for King Frederick
William IV. When she lost her singing
voice she became famous as an actress
13 lit In 1876 she sang some of the minor
parts in the "Nibelung's Ring." In 1S82
slie accepted a professorship of dra
rhatlc singing at the Royal conserva
tory in Munich.

' Jon an n Strauss was thrown into
Btate of nervous exhaustion and Insom
nia by the excitement attending his
ifubllee, so that his physician has or
dered a period of absolute rest for him
At the' special performance of Strauss'
operetta, "Die Fledermaus," given at
the Imperial opera, the price of seats
ranged from $5 to J35. In Hamburg the
Jubilee was celebrated by a cyclus of
Strauss operettas, Including six of the
fourteen ho has written.

Another boy phenomenon this time
ft violinist has reached these shores
In the person of Juanlto Manen, the 10-
year-old "Sarasate of the Twentieth
century." Manen Is a Spaniard, by
birth, and first saw light In Barcelona,
Spain, on the March 14, 1884. - At the
age of h years his parents noticed
a marked and decided inclination to
ward music, and he received his first
Instruction at the piano then. At the
age of 6 his father wanted him to study
the violin in addition to the piano. For
the first days he had to struggle with
the fact that the small size of Juanito's
hand's hardly mastered the first posi
tion of the half-violin, the smallest to
i found In Barcelona. In spite of that
obstacle, which he overcame after
two weeks, he was enabled, after three
months' study,' to play the entire scene
of "Miserere" from the fourth act of
oTravatore," transcribed from the third
position with such finish and spirit of
pxpresslon that It called forth the ad
miration of all who had the opportunity
to cheer and admire It. After that there
was no doubt as to the promising career
of JuanltQ. In addition to his father's
lessons, Juanlto, at the age of 7,- had
performed on the piano, with the ut
most precision, the Fugues of Bach,
At the age of ft he gave his first public
concert at Valencia, and scored an Im
mediate success. The praise lavished
upon the young virtuoso caused Manen
to give up the piano and to devote his
attention solely to thevlolln. He ap
peared before the queen regent of Spain
last summer, rendering the most ulfll
oult compositions to the astonishment
nnd delight of the royal party.

From' every direction come prophe
cies for a specially brilliant Season In
the- musical world. New York antici
pates a remarkable season of Italian
nnd French opera to begin this month
and a, season of German opera to begin
In February. These operatic organiza
tions will afterward visit Brooklyn,
Boston, Chicago and St..ltuls. . In the
largo centers permanent orchestras are
about commencing their respective sea
sons. New;-York hu.3 Damrosch with
his Symphony orchestra; Boston has
Paur with a Symphony orchestra; Chi
cago has Thomas with a Symphony or
chestra and Buffalo has Lund with
Symphony orchestra. Victor Her
bert Is directing Gllmore's band In
New York. Seldl will travel through
the country with a large orchestra.
Sousa has been playing continuously
for months and will close a long series
of concerts about the holiday time.
Then there is almost no end to the num
ber of societies In the various cities.
Perhaps the greatest society celebra
tion will be the New York Llederkranz
Jubilee to take place Jan. 9, 1SW, to
celebrate that famous organization's
fiftieth anniversary. Moreover this so
cMy has decided to lake a chorus of
not less than 100, with distinguished
professionals, abroad In May for a con
cert tour In Europe. In addition to the
large societies, there are Innumerable
smaller organizations and concert com
panies all anticipating a fortunate sea
son. Church choirs are working ac
tively to give satisfaction, nnd as
Christmas approaches we hear more of
the preparations for this great festival

Pauline Glidden-Chapman, the celo
brated cornet 1st, who will appear at the
Frothlngham on Monday evening at
the entertainment given by Fred Emer
son Brooks and the Ladies' orchestra
Is u resident of Oneida, N. V. Although
not yet twenty years of age, this ar
tist has a reputation as the most dis
tliigulshed lady cornetist In the world
having performed upon the Instrument
from childhood , up. Miss Chap
man Is a tall, handsome blonde and
possesses personal magnetism that at
tracts the audience the moment she ap
pears upon the stage.

Eleanor Mayo, the prima donna, who
delighted Scrantonlans as the Princess
Bonnie Als week, is a daughter of
Frank Mayo, the well known actor.
Miss Mayo was educated in a convent
at Elmira, Her first appearance was
made in New York city, where she
made a decided hit. The opera, how
ever, in which she appeared was a
failure. WUIard Spenser saw Miss
Mayo and at once decided that she was
the ideal of the title role of his new
opera. He offered, her an engagement
at her own terms. Acting upon the
advice of her father. Miss Mayo de
clined to warble for less than $fU0 per
week, nnd Mr. Spenser readily closed a
contract to pay her that sum, which is
the highest salary paid any comic opera
star with tho execeptlon of Lillian Rus
sell, who receives $750 per week.
Statements made last week that the
Ladies' White orchestra would return
to Boston, it seems, -was somewhat
premature. The orchestra concluded
Its engagement at die Frothlngham on
Saturday evening, but the members,
with the exception of the leader, Miss
Chandler, and Miss Packard, cornetist
were re-engaged by Manager Lalne.
The orchestra, since the departure of
Miss Chandler, has been under direction
of the talented young violinist, Miss
Mouser,

but does so, with so much Ingenuousness
nd with such apparent pleasure In the
act. that people are quite as much fasci
nated by the Individual Sousa as by the
music his band plays. His marches are a
boon to those looking for "catchy
marches and It Is with good reason that
they are popular.

A rattling good show called Austin s
Gignnteans, with his famous "Living
Pictures," will be at Davis theater all
next week. We predicate this declara

In the Blnghamlon papers. Manager
Davis' attractions of late are excellent,
and we believe next week's will not be
an exception. The "Living Pictures"
to be shown, were at the Palace thater,
Boston. This Is a recommendation of
no mean proportions, as the only ad
verse criticisms of "Living Pictures"
have been as to their propriety. If
eminently proper Boston can look at
these representations with delight und
enthusiasm, we think on average Scran
tonian will do likewise.

McAllister's Test.
From tho Mall and Express.
Mr, McAllister, like Alexander the Great,
sighs for new worlds to conquer, and, un
like Alexander, has succeeded In finding
what he wanted and reducing It to subjec
tion at a single whack. Without aban
doning his post as arbiter of the elegan
cies, he has come forth In a new role as
the critic of religion and the owuer'of an
only sure test of orthodoxy and heresy.
Who can doubt that this Is so who hus
read his recent pronounclamento on the
Church of England, In which he an
nounces with the terseness and Incontro
vertlbillty of a proposition In Euclid that
you can spot un evangelical by his saying
"amen," while a broad churchman or rit
ualist will ulways suy "ah-men." What
would be more exquisitely simple than
this unrivaled melius of distinguishing the
sheep from the wolves? Whut use Is
there of canon and confession, of creed or
declaration, of counclisor of dispensations,
when all differences can be detected by a
process as simple as applying a porous
plaster?

There's Nothing Scotch About "Rob

Oi.e of the happiest features of cur-

in which the American people have to (
use an expressive slang word "turn-j

and illlmltablo uffectatlon of these !
fourth or fifth rate traveling Britons
was enough to dlugust nil decent audi- !
ences from the start, und wo have never I
quite forgiven the United States for j
having been so easily taken in. For
tunately, however, the humbug will
not lorn continue. The following ex
cerpt from the conservative Buffalo Ex
press Is typical of the tone of the news
papers from ocean to ocean; and it
means death to the reign of insipid
Kendallsm; "Madge Kendal and her
trained husband have been saying un
kind things (if America nnd American
newspapers In general nnd in particu
lar. When this pair cann to this
country they -were in un Impoverished
condition, but they have since made
about half a million dollars out of this
God-forsaken lund. . In the clrctmi
stuuees how can they be blnmed for

L Sw,H Mm nvnumo-tv- i
he Second Mis. aani ueia is

that 'The
'the greatest religious moral play of
the age'; that it 'will survive long after
the hills of San Fransico have been
leveled to the ground.' 'I go through
your dirty streets,' she continued, 'not
looking at the spittings on the pave
ment, but at your beautiful sky. Your
audiences come to the theater with
never a peep at the sky, but every look
for tho spit.' These delightful remarks
were followed by more In the same vein.
It can easily be Inferred that the Ken-
dais played to a bad business In San
Francisco, and, to speak bluntly and
patriotically, bad business Is ull they
deserve from one end of this country to
the other."
In lieu of other diversions which cir
cumstances once generously gave to but
now deprive her of, the fair Jersey Lily
fair by courtesy, at least will seek
solace In play writing. Those who saw
her at the Frothlngham the other1 eve
ning will agree that she needs a new
play; and rather than take chances on
some mere "literary cuss," Mrs. Lang-
try very wisely decides that she will
write It herself. The Lily, by the way,
thinks there are many Jove
sick swains in this country.
"Since I left America I have
been literally deluged with letters from
admirers In the far west who want to
marry me," she recently said. "They
evidently imbibed n good deal In gossip,
wise and otherwise, that appeared in
the newspapers, and imagined that I,
like Heaven, was to be had for the ask
ing. They sent me their photographs
on tin and on cardboard, told me of
their mental prowess, assured me that
they had Incomes ranging from $20 to
$50 a month, and Were prepared to live
an Ideal life of iove in a cabin.' Some
of the matrimonial offers, shorn of en
dearing phrases, were substantially
nothing more than a crust and a
caress." Mrs. Lantry will not get to
Gotham before January. She will re
turn to England in the summer and will
then prepare for a trip around the

the daughter of an Irishman by a
German wife. In spite of these antag
onistic nationalities, Max Freeman, who
Is a German, has Infused the entire
scene with the atmosphere of Scotland.
Thus, comments a Buffalo critic, we see

and Irish players, yet which gives a

during the past forty years. Mrs. Stowo
never received a dollar for the theatrical

publication. By far the largest Income

George B. Obermann, the Milwaukee

was In Washington last year for a few
days, and one morning I fell In with
Joseph Jefferson's son, Tom. He sug
gested that we go call on the president,
and the proposition suited me to a T.
We didn't have long to wait at the
white house. Mr. Cleveland received us
very cordially.
" 'And what are you doing now, Tom?'
he asked.
" 'I'm making more money than ever
before," says Tom. 'I'm In a new line
of business, altogether, and it brings
me in large profits.
'"What under the sun can It be?'
asked the president.
" 'Why wherever I go,' says Tom, 'I
snoop around the old second-hand shops
and art stores and pick up old pictures
for about W apiece and then sell 'em to
father for $400 apiece.'
"Mr. Cleveland laughed heartily. But
he didn't believe the yarn at all.
' 'Tom, says he, 'you'll have to sit up
very late at night and get up very
early in morning If ever you really ex
pect to get the better of your father in
a business deal!' "

turn aside and contemplate the feminine

worthy of consideration than our owu
problem.
