Dean of City M usicians Speaks of Choral Forming Tells of Hard Work That Was Necessary to Organize Singers V Some facts that even members of) 'the Harrisburg Choral Society them-j ;selves perhaps didn't know were un-j ! wound in a speech before the society Monday night by J. H. Kurzenknabe, dean of Harrisburg musicians. Mem bers applauded it to the echo. Here jit is: ll> J. 11. Kur/.enknabc | Harrisburg is proud of her choral i • society, und well she may be. To or-; ganize a musical society like the one j before which 1 have the pleasure of making this address is more than the | work of a few hours. No; it needs i time, sacrifice, hard work, financial' and influential aid; indeed it could scarcely be maintained successfully. without these prerequisites. The two best musical organizations of former times in Harrisburg were the Thursday Club, under the direction | of Professor Carrol, and the Mozart Society .which started a little later.; ! when Professor Rich came from the | j South to become Us director. 1 must. confess that these two splendid socie i ties of our city begot a little rivalry, 1 ! which finally came to considerable: 1 discord. Xow, while we have to treat j lof discord in music, in order to learn I I what harmony is. by too much of it 1 we forget harntony. Both these so jcieties soon ceased to exist and Har- J risburg for a short time was without | any musical organization as far as ! vocal music is concerned, except tliatj jof church choirs, and what delight' was furnished music lovers through | I private gatherings. j 1 have here a roll and resolution of; tthe Harrisburg Board of Trade in 1593 j 'preceding the yearly meeting of the j Pennsylvania State Music Teachers' j I Association, which was then to be held j jin Scranton, inviting that body to ; | come here in 1 894, and hold their ses sions in the Opera House. As this so-j ciety was endeavoring to induce the • legislature to include music in the cur- j riculums required in all State schools, l it Was set forth as nn inducement to I j the association to come here, that the. I Legislature would at that time be in j I session. The invitation was accepted, : and I was elected to the presidency I | for that year (1894.) The association had planned a three i ; days' session with a chorus to be j I formed out of Harrisburg talent to j j conclude the last evening. Come home I ; from Scranton, the work commenced I ito gather the chorus. Discord I] | thought only meant harmony misun -1 derstood.

Gilchrist, but how to ln duce him to take hold was a problem that was solved only after four trips to Philadelphia. (innip Was Won The game_was practically won; for when some Ilarrlsburg friends who had refused to join learned that the notable leader, Dr. Gilchrist, had been engaged, they told me that they could not afford to stay out of the chorus. The Rev. Dr. Chambers 1 knew as a friend of music, and he was prevailed upon to become the chairman of the chorus and later of the reception committee. Amid the enthusiasm that followed it was practically an easy task to form the choral society. The Harrisburg singers with few excep tions fell in lino. The great leader became so beloved | that year after year he was chosen until now health will not permit him Ito continue and he withdraws. 1 am so glad that your choice for a successor has fallen upon Dr. AVolle whom I had the pleasure to learn to i know and admire in Philadelphia, in | i Heading, Bethlehem and ' Allentown, | i and 1 perceive that his inspiration has | i already caught the muse's. I will; | prophecy that he, together with Pro- j lessor Decevee at the piano will endear l j themselves more and more as the ; years pass. Then your management, from president down to stage hand, i deserves the highest praise. I will add that without the splendid encourage ment from the singers, the Board of Trade, the city officials and advisors the society could not have been or i ganized.

It will be at the Majestic thea ter Monday and Tuesday with a Tues day matinee. The play comes at a time when the subject is being discussed. that a girl budding into womanhood should re ceive proper instruction from her mother in the sacred and beautiful obligation of motherhood, and that girls just out of short dresses should be enlightened upon sex relationship that they may be adequately equipped to fight all the dangers that may be set them. "The Blindness of Virtue" is the first play to deal with this sub ject in a firm and vigorous way, point ing out to parents by example intro duced in characterization, the obliga tion they owe their children to in struct them in an enlightened man ner on this important question. The subject is understood to be dealt with delicately but frankly which it should be if it is dealt with at all.
