8 TIIE SCRAXTOX TBIBUXE SATURDAY MORXIXG, MARCH 1, 1895. Gathered in the World of flelody. Interesting Notes About flusicians At Home and Abroad. "No, sir," said Tallie Morgan this week, "I am mot the author of the ar ticle on chorus choirs In last Sunday's News. When I have anything to say In the press I generally say It over my own name. You know my views In re gard to quartette and chorus choirs. It is admitted that quartet tus are used where chorus choirs cannut be made a success. I have nothing to say egulnst quartettes us such, for my model choir la a good chorus with a llrst-class quartette. There Is enough material In every church, If properly trained, for a good chorus, and this ma terial should be used. Good congrega tional singing Is the life of a service In my opinion, and yon can get better congregational singing with a large chorus than with a quartette. In the First Presbyterian church the people enter hoiirtlly Into the service, both In Ringing and In responsive reading. Then the pastor gives us a good ser mon and the choir and soloists give one or two special selections. That. In my opinion, Is a model service. The fact that a chorus choir has failed In one church, or a hundred churches, does not make every chorus u failure." 1 II l The Sacred Music society Is getting along llnely with the oratorio "Saul of Tarsus," which will be given In April. The chorus numbers about 200 voices, and was never In such a good condition. The pianist Is Llewellyn Jones, and Conrad's orchestra Is present at the rehearsals every Tuesday evening. The oratorio will be given with a reader, and will be one of the most pleasing entertainments ever held In this city. The soloists are not engaged, but two at least will be from New York cly. ' II 1 Chorister Tallle Morgan, of the First Presbyterian church, is to be congratu lated upon having one of the most faithful volunteer chorus choirs ever seen in this city. For over a year the choir has done the most excellent ser vice and there has not been a Sunday when the parts were not well balunced. The music they sing Is of the highest order, and our best musical critics ad mit that theselectlons are rendered with artistic ability. For the coming year the choir will be enlarged and otherwise strengthened. I! I! . The free chorus class of the Scranfon School of Music Is largely attended by young people especially. Kvery mem ber pays the sum of 10 cents a week to meet running expenses, but Mr. Mor gan, the teacher, gives his time free. The class Is taught to read music at sight, and to sing properly. Light and catchy glees are taken up and quickly mastered. New members will be re ceived for the next two weeks, after which time no one will be admitted for this term. I! II "I Harmony Is apparently quite as rare among the blowers of wind Instru ments as It Is among Rifted members of church choirs. Before the Marine band at Washington started on Its re cent concert tour, an association of Cin cinnati horn-blowers petitioned the government to Interfere upon the ground that the competition of this band would injure them in their busi ness. Commenting upon the protest, the Washington Post remarks as fol MARIAN FROELICH. Andante, 1. The Lil y lay 2.

Jm0 0 0 a m lows: "Suppose Meyerbeer, Mozart, Von Weber, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and a few others had, when the 'music of the future' first made Its appearance, combined against Wagner and peti tioned the rulers of Austria and Prus sia to prohibit performances of his works throughout their realms, on the ground that they objected to the com petition! Does anybody believe that, even In Europe, such an Impudent proposition would huve been respect fully considered for the smallest frac tion of a moment? But the same Idea, In a more stupid and offensive form, and under much less considerable aus pices, animates the Cincinnati propo sition, and, strangely' enough, appears to excite no special Indignation." II II II Mr. and Mrs. George U. Carter and Mrs. H. T. Black were charmingly en tertalneutl by Miss Barnard, at the Wyoming House, after the Sousa con cert last Tuesday evening. Miss Bar nard Is to study for grand opera. Next week, Thursday evening, ut 8 p. m. a vocal recital will be given at Elm Park church, at which the charm ing soprana, Miss Eva Bobbin, of Lon don, will appear In several solos. Miss Bobbin Is having great success In con cert and her schooling In Milan and London has not been in vain. Other soloists will be named later. An offer ing at the door. Mr. Carter has the re cital In charge. II II II Miss Bessie Grayson, the young Sou brette, who will assume one of the lead ing roles in Ullbrlde's "City Govern ment," and also appear In character sketches at the Academy of Music on Monday evening, Is among the bright est of New York's rising Vaudeville artists. Miss Grayson, who Is a hand some blonde, possesses a good soprano voice and a fine stage presence, to gether with the enthusiasm for her art that Is essential to success. II II II The lady quartettu of the First Pres byterian church chorus, Miss Lydia Sailer, first soprano; Miss Grace Bose, second soprano; Miss Annie Bose, first alto, and Miss Annette Beynolds, sec ond alto, will sing tomorrow "No Evil Shall Befall Thee" from "EH" by Costa. They will give one number every Sunday. II II 'I A musical and literary entertainment will be given at Penn Avenue Baptist church on Thursday evening next, at which Mr. Eckman, pianist, Miss Clara Long, violinist. Misses Black and Uar ragau, vocalists and Miss Mollle Wes ton, elocutionist, will appear. i; n ii The London and New York papers are filled with accounts of the greatness of Charles Jarvls, Philadelphia's late pianist, and yet his appearance in Scranton failed to excite comment. II I! II The famous anti-theater hat law. passed by the California house of rep resentatives. Is a very sweeping meas ure, and its foes say this will make it a dead letter. It forbids any persons visiting any places of public amuse ment to wear hats, bonnets, hoods, or other headwear during the hours of the performance. The person ag grieved can recover damages and the offender Is subject to Imprisonment THE LILY. on- the breast of tho luko, That with their bright jow - tls rure, They i And sighed as sho mur-aiured, " Oh could And pluckod from her bud ding the Lil - 9 Mono -at- The The Copyright, 18941 7 Th Ntw York Mutual lUcwd Co. 1 I cres . ... ccn . . . cen. and fine. A lively controversy be tween the supporters and opponents of the measure preceded Its adoption, and the latter declared that the penal ty prescribed for preventing a fair view of the stage was absurdly harsh. On the other hand, the adoption of the bill was justified on the ground that the moral effect of Its enactment would certainly ba salutary, even If practically the law should never be enforced. The law applies to men as well as to women, and Includes within its provisions "all places of public amusement and opera houses." It might apply to a losture or political mass meeting. It prohibits not only the wearing of large hats, obstructing the view of the stage, but of any hats, even the most Innocuous "love of a bonnet." II II II Miss Katherlne Bloodgood has con sented to appear at George B. Carter's last evening concert early in April. Miss Bloodgood Is destined to be one of the greatest singers of the age. The quality of her voice Is said by emi nent critics tobe unsurpassed. As this Is the only contralto of, fa ill e who has appeared In Scranton since the fam ous Elm Park concerts, much Interest 13 manifested. II II II There Is some talk of forming a Young Men's Christian association brass bund. Such an organization could no much good during the sum mer months especially. r ii ii Miss Winifred Sullivan, of New York city, will take Miss Guthrie's place in the Elm Park Methodist Episcopal church choir tomorrow. II !l II Walter Klple, a rising young vio linist of this city, will compete for prizes at the musical festival at Wllkes Burre in June. II II 'I Miss Annette Reynolds will hereafter give Instruction to vocal pupils at the studio of Hayden Evans, In the Uuub building. !l i! II Miss Lilly Joseph, one of the sweetest altos In the city, has been added to the choir of the First Presbyterian church. II II ! Organist Conant's recital this after noon will be devoted to selections from Bach. I! !i 'I Llewellyn Jones is assistant organ ist at St. Luke's church during Lent. I; !! II SHARFd AND FLATS: Mrs. Culvln llrlce paid Ysaye $1,000 to ap pear at one of her musleales, and gave Melba and Edouard de Iteszke an equul amount to appear at the other. An opera bouffe by Bizet, the composer of "Carmen," was discovered recently in a lot of old manuscripts left In the care of his notary by Auber. It Is called "Don Procoplo," and has never been print ed or performed. Francis Wilson has bought the Ameri can lights to Sir Arthur Sullivan and V. C. Uurnand's opera, "The Chieftain," which Is a rewritten version of "The Con trabandists." Wilson's part Is thut of an English tourist, who Is cuptured by the bandits and compelled to accept the po sition of the chieftain. F. C. Whitney has purchased Jukobow skl & Herbert's operatic comedy, "The Birth of Venus," from Mrs. MeLeod, and will give It a New York presentation be fore the end of the season. With the ex ception of Joseph Herbert and Willis Sweatham an entire new cast will be pro cured from that which presented It In Baltimore. The line Tree club, of Maine, recently gave a dinner to friends and members in Boston, to do honor to Maine's operatic Bong birds from thut state. Emma Karnes Story, who comes from Bath, Me., Mme. Lilian Nordlca, from Karmlngton, and Mine.

The reception was u brllllunt attatr. Some German towns, not content with taxing serenuiles, huve shown a lieilre to levy tolls on public processions with music. The general government, how ever, has just prohibited such taxation. In Lelpslc no one may play on a piano af ter a certain hour of the evening with out obtaining permission of the neighbors. The Abbey, Schooffol & Graa Opera company made Itself so unpopular In Bos ton that recently there appeared In the evening papers a paid advertisement signed by Fraud I'wibody, jr., anil six other men equuUy well known for their weulth and high stumllng, culling for a meeting of thu subscription ticket holders of the Opera to protest against future causes for com plaint. The complaint mude Is that the management of the company has, owing to tho sickness of singers, substituted oth ers of much less merit and operas of less merit than those advertised, and on the strength of which tickets were sold, and also that the best ororas of the season were culled "specials," the regular season tickets not being good for admission, thus putting season ticket holders to ex tra anil unusuul expense. The objectors Insist that another season they will bo treated more fulrly or they will muko grand opera unprofitable In Boston. .. WELSH JOTTINGS. An English puper will soon be issued from the Buner office by the veteran Thomas Gee, and will be called "The North W'ulea Times." The disestablishment and disendow mer.t bill tiai been Introduced In the house of commons. It is Intended to become operative on Jan. 1, lh!7, when the church of England In Wules shall cease to be es tablished. Tho revenues of tho gro33 un mini value of 27i,UUO are to be divided Into a purochlal fund uf a ycur and a central fund of Mti.OUU a year. Private bunefuutlous created since 1703 have buun excluded from the scone of the measure. The buiiul grounds and glebes will be transferred to the purlsh, district ani town councils. Other radical changes are propose, Lr.'t It Is advisable to not thut they are subject to tho passing of the bill, which, at indent, Is a doubtful occur rence, owing to thu Emu II Liberal major ity, the opposition of the lords, and the Impending resignation of Lord Boaebery. By the time these lines are perused the rnoitul remains of Lord Aberdare will have been laid to rest near his beautiful home ut Mountain Ash. In his sudden death, at the uge of 80, Wales has lost one of her greatest friends, a friend who has advanced her Interests on many occasions by quiet unosteututious zeul. As a poli tician, un educationist, and poor luw ex pert, he was ever busy endeavoring tq promote the public welfare. Though Lord Aberdare long ago retired from active politics, he by no means retired from pub lic service on the social side of political reform. At the time of his death he wus busily occupied as president of the aged poor commission, and had he not been seized by the all too-prevalent malady which terminated fatally the world would now have been In possession of his report. His long experience In public life fitted him to occupy such a position, and Mr, Gladstone paid him a high compliment In asking liim to fill It. He was an enthus iastic worker for social reform and the ad vancement of national educational Insti tutions. Lord Aberdare always remained true to his Liberal principles, and his death removes one of the few remaining links with the Palmerston and Gladstone period of political history. Rising from a barrister on circuit to home secretary and president of the privy council, Lord Abel Jure hud the gratification of seeing many of his public efforts crowned with success. He has Indeed achieved a re markable series of reforms, not the least being his licensing bill, which has had a marked effect on the large towns. In Wales he. will be specially remembered as an admirer and patron of the eisteddfod, and an an enthusiast for higher education. His efforts to create the South Wales University college, which always shared his attention and commanded his sym pathy and constant help, will not be read ily forgotten. Wales Is also largely in debted to his tact and skill and enthus iasm for the University of Wales, of which he wus the first chancellor, ills death will cause a loss to Wules which It will be Impossible to till, but which a nation will mourn. bow to the breeze, breast of a bello, ' -N N--I- tl: -o o o- Tind hast-ens on and thcro 'niid tho chr.rm of main, died, Tho Bbfi 1 J t is a Jsusr (h 1 tt 0-tP If-1 0-0 0 r rr rrrrTr ".:: ritwil. p :)5: - cr- luluri J BE ii VJ Vj J 1 T ' ..Tr'-fr'- main.

Concerning Sol. Smith RiiBsell's ap pearance In "The Helr-at-Law," a reminiscent contributor to the Wash ington Post writes: "How well do old play-goers remember Uussell when he was a solo performer with the musical Berger Slaters. Ills act would be culled a vaudeville act. In strict parlance, but It was a performance so refined and so thoroughly In harmony with the artis tic elements of his surroundings! The Berger family, consisting principally of girls, were for many years a stundard feature of amusement In three-fourths of the Middle, Western, and Southern States. Their concerts showed a high degree of musical refinement and were well patronized. The girls played brass and string instruments, and one or two of them sang delightfully. Russell varied the features of the entertain ments by giving some of the most re markable character Imitations ever seen on the American boards. He gen erally made his first appearance In a dress suit. He would briefly sketch the outlines of the character he intended to represent, speaking to the audience in his peculiar low, musical voice to the accompaniment of his fascinating smile, and would then back up the stage a few paces, turn around for a fleeting moment, run his hand through his hair, quickly turn up his coat collar about his ears, squeeze a button Into the wrong button-hole and oh. Proteus! There stood the embodiment of some old New England dignitary to protest in cavernous accents against the new 'skule house.' The audience would shake its sides, and like a flash of light ning Russell would relax his facial grimace,' and stand there in the radi ance of his Indescribable smile, bowing his politest acknowldgments. But that was only the introduction. There would be a musical number, and the next intermission would bring Russell The swal low I beck on Swept on with the mil sic i rl i .

In that way he popularized the song 'I'm Getting a Big Boy Now.' He married Ann Berger, who was one of the most charming young women In the country, and when she died and the band dis solved, Russell branched out for him self In comedy under the management of his brother-in-law, Fred Berger, who Is still directing his business affairs. And now Russell is crowding hlmBelf with Irresistible force Into a pluce In old English comedy, which none but Jeffer son and Florence have acceptably filled since the beginning of the starring sys tem." FOOOTLIGHT FLASHES: Anna Keefe will soon become a bride. Georgia Cuyvan, who Is 111 In Paris, has given up the Idea of starring this season. A mcmoriul Is to be erected over the un adorned grave of Mrs. Siddons, in f'ud dlngton churchyard, London. "Pudd'uhead Wilson" will be presented at the Herald Square theater April 10 with Frank Mayo In the cast. "The New Boy" has completed Its first year, und been performed for the 42ith time at thu London Vutidevllle. W. A. Brady und James J.

Gertrude Fort will create the leading part in Pete Duty's new play. "Miss Fort" recently purchased an $8,0U0 shore front at Great Kills, Stuten Island. Joseph Haworth has scored a success second to none In Ernest Lucy's play, "Rinaldo," a tule of Florence. Mr. Lacy also wrote "Chutterton," played by Julia Marlowe. Actor Beerbohm Tree has been buncoed by a Chicago conlldence man, who, claim ing to be a needy relative of the former's close friend, Alma Tudema, the urtist, ob tained a large loan. A company of Chinese actors Is to ap pear soon at the Nouveau theater In Paris, In a piece called "Le Dragon Vert," con structed by M. Michael Curre, the author of the pantomime "L'lnfant Prodigue." The dialogue is in French, but a number of purely Chinese secnes will be Interpo lated. , This Is how one critic discourses upon Rejane: "Spiritual and brutul, the mis tress of an art whose texture Is Indecent, subtle und supple. Comedienne to her finger tips, her sinuous yet angular body, her Irritating mouth, a scarlet cavern In an expressive head: her wicked eyes, her vivacity, her purring feline ways, her voice both caressing and crackling, her Impertinent devil-may-care swagger, all proclaim her comedienne and Parlsienne."
