CLUB TO GIVE BIG CONCERT

Organization Invites Public to Attend Musical Next Wednesday at the High School. One of the interesting events of the coming week will be the opening of the local musical season with a concert by the Music Study club in the high school auditorium on Wednesday evening, to which the public is invited. Very few people realize the determining influence of an organization of the character of this club. It is a factor in unifying musical interest among scattered groups and individuals and brings into positive activity that -element of the community which, in the end, sustains genuine musical culture. Year after year it has met and presented weekly programs, sometimes giving one of a more ambitious nature in an evening recital, and has, in addition, been instrumental in bringing musical celebrities to the town. Wednesday Program. The program to be presented, under the auspices of the executive board, on Wednesday evening, October 7, includes the names of the city's leading musicians and, in detail, follows: Overture "Magic Flute" Mozart Miss Knollenberg, Miss Peltz, Mrs. Eggemeyer, Mrs. King.

EARHART TEACHES UMIVERSITY WORK Creates High Standard of Musical Scholarship at Pittsburg Institution. While the fact that Mr. Will Earhart, former supervisor of music in the Richmond public schools has made a great record for himself as supervisor of music in the public schools of Pittsburg, it is not generally known here that Mr. Earhart is a member of the faculty of the University of Pittsburg and is creating a high standard of musical scholarship in that institution. Mrs. Lewis King, who recently returned from Pittsburg, after completing the course of study now prescribed by the university, says: "Mr. - Earbart with his usual thoroughness is putting the course - of music in the university, which is in the department of education at the college, on a very high plane, and has so entirely reorganized It that it is now regarded as the best of its sort that any educational institution of the character of Pittsburg university has to offer."

Miss Florence Shute and Miss Edna j Marlatt of this city also spent some

montns recently in siuay unaer Mr, Earhart in this institution.

TEBBS TO RETURN TO DAYTON WORK

Arthur Leroy Tebbs, a native of Dayton, and who has recently been assistant supervisor of music in Pittsburg, under Mr. Earhart, has been recalled to Dayton where he will be supervisor of music, and will be the head

of the musical phases of the city in

its recent evolution toward the broadening of the community spirit. Mr. Tebbs is well known in Richmond, where at one time he arranged the most successful amateur minstrel performance ever given under the auspices of the Elks, although this was but one of his many appearances here.

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA GIVES CONCERT THURSDAY Unusual Civic Interest Attaches to First Public Appearance in Connection With Night School Session and Opening of Art Gallery Sixty-eight Members in Organization.

Ralph Sloane, supervisor of music in the Richmond public schools, announces that the high school orchestra will make its first public appearance next Thursday evening when it will give a concert in the ' auditorium of the building between 8 and 9 o'clock. The concert is arranged at this time because of the reception to be given the parents of the students that evening, and the fact that the night school will be in session and the art gallery will also be open, makes the whole affair one of unusual civic interest. "The orchestra has sixty-eight members, against sixty-four last year," said Mr. Sloane, "and is much better balanced than it has been recently, the reeds, the strings and the brasses all being heard in harmonious ensemble without the domination of any one class of instrument. This is the judgment of local musicians, who are not connected with the public schools, after hearing the orchestra rehearse, and I think will be demonstrated at the concert Thursday evening. Study Beethoven. "The serious study of the orchestra this year will be concentrated on one of the Beethoven symphonies, although I have not come to a definite conclusion in selection. Its programs will be varied with tone pieces and orchestral overtures, as I believe in variety, for more than one reason, since it not only gives the pupils a certain musical fluency but makes their programs for the public of more general interest since many persons are not musically educated and do

not care for the more serious compositions." Mr. Sloane had with him at his summer home at Lakeside, O., where an annual Chautauqua is held, a number of high school boys, who were employed in one of the orchestras which played for the Chautauqua, including Philip Gates, French horn; Clair Reid, trumpet; Kent Morris, piano; Homer Swisher, bass, and Fred Lohmann, clarinet. "This was in accord with Principal Pickell's system of getting hig school boys to work during vacation. Even in the musical department we could get several of them good jobs, and they enjoyed the experience as well as making the money." The program follows: March Spirit of Independence.... Holzmann Minuet Paderewski Intermezzo (Cavelleria Rusticana) Mascagni Marjorie Beck, piano. Andante (Surprise Symphony) .Haydn Ruth Ferguson, soprano. Waltz, Genee (The Soul Kiss)... Levi Robert Gentle, violin. Overture, Pianoforte Sullivan March National Emblem" . . . Bagley

ST. PAUL'S CHOIR. Mrs. J. E. Cathell, who has taken over the direction of the choir of St. Paul's Episcopal church, has reorganized the latter and expects efficient work from its members the coming winter. Since this is the only vested choir of mixed voices in the city its programs are of much public interest, especially those at the vespers on Sunday afternoon.

CHORUS OF TRINITY TO GIVE CONCERT

One of the most interesting musical organizations of the city is the Luther League churus of Trinity Lutheran church, now under the direction of Lee B. Nusbaum, and including in its personnel Mrs. Charles Igleman, a Richmond singer of notable vocal possession. This organization will give a sacred concert two weeks from next Sunday evening at the church and expects at that time to interpret an elaborate program with various solo numbers. The league expects to repeat this about the twentieth or twenty-first of October, when the synodlcal district meeting is held in this city, the sessions of which will cover about a week and will be attended by 150 prominent members of the church from Ohio and Indiana.

Music Notes of Richmond

It is, perhaps, not generally known, that the Morrisson-Reeves library is the depository for the library of the Music Study club, and acts as a distributing center for the organization to the latter's membership.

The total toy production of the world yearly is valued at $52,700,000. of which $42,220,000 falls to European countries.

HOWARD RETURNS. Wesley Howard, who left a couple of weeks ago for Boston to resume his studies in the New England Conservatory, wrote Mr. Frederick K. Hicks, of this city, that his studies had begun auspiciously. A full scholarship has been awarded Mr. Howard by this institution which is indicative of the light in which he is regarded and his capacity for hard study. Mr. Howard was under Mr. Hick's instruction during the summer months. NEWS OF MISS SCOTT. Miss Ruth Scott, one of Richmond's young amateur violinists of promise, who has entered the New England Conservatory writes her instructor, Mr. Hicks, that she was well received and was not put back but given a progressive course of study in line with that she had been taking. This is a tribute to Mr. Hick's soundness of method and he states he feels very proud of his two students in the New England conservatory and the fact that neither Miss Scott nor Mr. Howard were put back on their entrance.

STEADY REHEARSALS CHARACTERIZE WORK OF "CONCERT BAUD"

"We have settled down to steady rehearsals," said Lee B. . Nusbaum director of the Richmond concert band, which recently closed its series of open-air concerts at Glen Miller. "Our endeavor is to increase and perfect a high class repertoire this winter and I am very much pleased with the prospect for the ultimate success of this program of work. "Of course the public understands that concerts on an open stand, as is that at Glen Miller, are given at something of a disadvantage to the musicians, since sound does not harmonize and co-ordinate in the open as it does under cover. The persons, in instance, nearest the trombones will be apt to think that the latter dominate, while persons seated near some other instruments will think the latter do. But this necessarily follows presentations under such circumstances. We were very much complimented by the large audience that we always had. and think the attendance alone, is an

evidence of the appreciation of the local public." The fact that the Richmond Concert band has been made some flattering offers for next season's Chautauqua engagements, is evidence of the manner in which the band's achievements are looked upon by the general public.
