FINE PERSONNEL IN CLUB OFFERING Harvard University Instrumental Club in First Appearance Offers Varied Theme. INCLUDED in the personnel cf the Harvard University Instrumental Clubs which visit this city on their annual Christmas holiday tour giving a local concert in Masonic Temple on Saturday, Dec. 29, are many prominent Harvard undergraduates. The four diviisons of the clubs, banjo, mandolin, vocal and specialty, boast a membership which includes men representative of most Harvard extra-curricular activities. Frederick Herman Cade II of New York City and Rochester, N. Y.,

and Richard Arnold Stout of Louisville, Ky., are both engaged in many other, activities outside of the clubs. Cade is a sophomore and prepared at Creton. He is now vicepresident of the University Instrumental Clubs. He was a member of his freshmen football team last year, making his numerals. Injuries in the early season scrimmages this fall necessitated his confinement to the bench for the past season. He has been active, however, with the university polo team, of which he is manager. Last year he did social service work and was editorial chairman of the 1931 Red Book, the freshmen class yearbook. Gade is largely responsible for the excellent schedule of this year’s Christmas trip, having gone through the middle west last month making final arrangements. Stout, who sings barytone with Gade in the local club, is a senior finishing his college career in June. He is president of the Harvard Crimson, the university daily newspaper, and editor of the Harvard Advocate, the literary monthly, a director of the Harvard Co-opera-tive Society, and a member of the Harvard student council. In the recent senior class elections he was elected permanent secretary of the class of 1929. Last summer he represented Harvard abroad as a guest of the French government. Stout has a barytone voice which has received favorable comment from Boston critics. He played on the lacrosse team and is a track man. The clubs rely largely upon their congenial personnel to put across the spirit of the organization to their audiences. They are primarily for original and diversified entertainment, the music being popular rather than classical. The famous Gold Coast jazz orchestra is a feature of the clubs, as well as the specialty acts which play a prominent part in the program.

Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises promises one of the greatest in the history of that organization, beginning on Jan. 20 with Sophie Bras lau, America’s favorite contralto, in a recital of songs in the Murat theaterr. This concert marks the second of the Sunday afternoon series under this direction. An attraction that is commanding state-wide attention, and for which many are buying tickets for Christmas gifts is ‘ The Passion Play" as interpreted by the Freiburg Players direct from Germany, for one week in the Murat theater, beginning Monday, Jan. 28 with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. The history of “The Passion Play" of Freiburg, Baden, Germany, is wonderful, for following religious vows of the early residents there, the play was inaugurated in 1264, and has been given once every ten years since that time, antedating the Oberammergau by several hundred years. The Fassnacht family, have played in it, as a family always. Each role being inherited from father to son. Adolph and George Fassnacht have become especially famed as the Christus and Judas. Contrary to the practice at Oberammergau, where the play is presented very simply and is in reality a religious service, the play as produced by the Freiburg players and under the personal direction of the Fassnachts, has developed into a magnificent spectacle and in Germany has been given with the same pomp and effectiveness as it will be given in the Murat theater. The Fassmachts have had a royal introduction to America, when they were engaged last August by the mayor of St. Joseph, Mo., to dedicate the new stadium in that city. More than 100,000 people are said to . have witnessed this pageant sublime during the eight days of its engagement, in a city of 75,000 population. Hundreds made a pilgrimage from far and near to be present at this awe-inspiring spectacle. One of the most important musical announcements in the history of musical Indianapolis is the engagement of the German Grand Opera Company, who will bring Beyreuth to America, will be seen for three performances in'the Murater theater, March 1 and 2, Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening, in “Die Walkure," “Tristan and Isolde" # and “Siegfried." The company of 125 have Met their sailing date from Hamburg, Germany, Dec. 28, and are due to arrive in the New York harbor Jan. 7. On Jan. 14 in the Manhattan Opera House, New York City, they will open a oneweek engagement. Following this New York engagement the entire company will go on tour, visiting Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Wilmington, Del.; Pittsburg, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis. St. Louis, Omaha, Denver and then for four weeks in Canada and the northwest. Indianapolis as usual is among the privileged few cities to have this rare opportunity of seeing Wagner opera presented after the Bayreuth traditions, and in the true manner i as Wagner would wish them.

Lovers of music gather to see and hear a composer of great fame and they depart with the conviction that they have heard one of the greatest if not the greatest, pianist of our time. The soul of a poet, delivering itself of beautiful thoughts, It is a rare musical personality that catches and holds them in its grasp. Asa pianist, Rachmaninoff, who will be heard in recital at the Murat Sunday afternoon, Jan. 13, under the local management of Henry K. Burton, does not need to rest on his laurels as composer, for indeed he belongs to that exalted company known as master-pianists. He has command of tone-color and nuance few possess, and caresses from the treble of the piano exquisite tones but above all and through all it is Rachmaninoff, the poet, that speaks. Every selection that this musical giant plays impresses the listener with the thorough assimilation of every note the composer wrote. It is all completely absorbed, recreated and appears to be something delightfully spontaneous and new. ~ .sser artists attempt this and tue result is known as temperament. Rachmaninoff does it and the result is pure poetry, JOE SALTIS IN JAIL MADE TO MOP FLOORS Slippery Chicago Beer Baron Serving Sixty-Day Term. Bn United Press , CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—Joe Saltis, elusive beer baron, still was dispensing suds today but he was doing it on the business end of a mop on the floors of the municipal jail.
