. Interesting History in Musical World. Apropos of the appearance of Mr. Otto Williams in the recent recital of the Music Study club and the fact that he played the little known instrument, the viola, the September number of the Musician has to say relative to the latter: "The viola is one of the instruments in the orchestral ensemble about which none but musicians can tell you V "In the early days Mozart and Haydn UBDU HUB 111311 UU1CUI 111 IUCU D J 111" yLiwuitra quite as tiicjr uiu mo bcvuiiu violins.

Advertisement GATES APPOINTED TO MUSICAL POST Philip Gates, a young musician of this city, who has been conspicuously ..identified with the high school and symphony orchestras, and who formed A small orchestra of his own which has played several summer engagements, has been appointed musical director in the high schools of Wayne county outside of Richmond. This is a responsible position, and Mr. Gates' appointment is complimentary to his talents as a musician and merits as an instructor. PUPIL OF DAMROSCH PLEASES AUDIENCE . That even vaudeville audiences appreciate the best thing, in the end, is shown by the applause given the violinist at the Murray his week, the heaviest testimonials being shown at the close of his excerpts from classic sources. Thi3 player handles his instrument with much artistic dexterity and has a tone of peculiar fluency, having received the greater part of his musical education in Walter Damrock's school of music in New York, an institution of great thoroughness. The player holds a scholarship received there but has played all over Europe. The last descendant of Ernst Moritz Arndt, the German bard of the war of liberation and the author of "Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?" has gone into the fteld with his father, a retired major-general.

In Century Grand Opera Company

While the Chicago and Boston Grand Opera companies are put out of commission by the European war, and the Metropolitan company is seriously crippled, the Century Grand Opera company, conducted by the Aborns, is playing to the greatest houses in its history, thus early in the 1914 season. The Aborns successfully launched this company in New York, using the building started as the New Theatre, giving grand opera in English, and so great was the demand last year that they added one thousand new seats this year, and even with this addition the company is playing to capacity houses. Orville Harrold, the well-known Indiana tenor, is one of the stars of the company, and is here seen in one of his famous roles.

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA SHOWS SUPERIOR WORK

That the first appearance of the high school orchestra fully demonstrated Mr. Sloan's prediction, made through this page last week, to the efect that its instrumentation would be superior to that, of last year, was shown in the concert given Thursday evening in the auditorium to an audience that packed the latter antl overflowed into the corridors. When Mr. Pickell the principal of the high school stated that this was the "best high school orchestra in the state and possibly in the United States," the audience gave its assent in enthusiastic applause. The present organization includes 68 players and a full quota of every instrument called for in an orchestra. Praises Orchestra. "This is a remarkable organization," said Mr. Frederick K. Hicks, the well known teacher and player of the violin and concertmeister of the Richmond symphony orchestra after the concert Thursday evening. "It is not often that you find an orchestra of this character and, indeed, I think Mr. Pickell may be true in saying that it is the only one of its sort in the country that includes a quartet of every instrument for orchestral use.

Mary is led to believe Crane dead. Later she remarries. Crane, however, has fallen in with a band of smugglers. Learning their plans he attempts to betray them. The outlaws pursue the wretch with the intention of killing him.

As. - v.. V.--" t-fc. phony orchestra, for example, receives as high a salary as the concertmaster. The fact that the Richmond Symphony orchestra had such an excellent oboe soloist as Mr. Watson, was commented on as remarkable by musicians from outside this town who heard the symphony in its concerts a couple of years ago. And the young oboe player who gave two solos this evening makes the high school orchestra unusual. Playing Improves. "The instrumentation is much better than last year and Mr. Sloan is to be congratulated in getting his organization into such improved musical form." "Many persons ask why we do not have a saxaphone in the orchestra," said Mr. Sloan, "but the saxaphone is not an orchestral instrument. It is not found in orchestral bodies nor is it regarded with much favor by serious musicians. It Is-pwely a vaudeville instrument." "-- Miss Marjorie Beck, as piano soloist and Miss Ruth Ferguson, as the soprano, with Robert Gentle, violinist, were warmly greeted in their appearance with, the orchestra. SALTS IF KIDNEYS OR BLADDER BOTHER Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids Splendid for System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass It on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up; an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes "sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it Is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. . , , ; t Advertisement " v

STREET MUSICIANS PLAY TO CROWDS

The principal streets of the town have had something of a continental appearance the past week, specially at the corner of Ninth and Main, with large curbstone audiences listening to the street musicians, three Italians, with harp, flute and violin, who play extraordinarily well. The soft moonlight, the crowds on foot and in automobiles, and the summer-like atmosphere give an unaccustomed air to the streets unusual at this season. The flute player says he rceived his chief instruction in the Philadelphia high school, and says that the little orchestra is playing its way through from Chicago, where its members had an engagement in a cafe this summer, to Philadelphia, taking this way of travel to see the country. GARFIELD ORCHSETRA PLEASES TEACHERS Miss Elizabeth Sands, director of music in the Garfield school, and Mr. Sloan, supervisor of music in the city schools, are very much pleased with the personnel and proficiency of the Garfield school orchestra, which will give its first chapel conceA next Fri-j day, two months before the orchestra j has usually appeared for the first j time. i The personnel is almost completely changed, but about five of the old members now being among the players, the latter numbering forty, and including but three girls. 900 MUSIC ROLLS USED IN MONTH In view of the fact that the distribution of music rolls for player pianos is becoming one of the factors in library management over the country, it is interesting to note that the MorrissonReeves library was the first one in the United States to include this In its activities. The public library of this city practically inaugurated this system and has now over 20,000 rolls on its shelves, with an average circulation of 900 monthly, showing the wide-spread use the local public has made of this innovation. MOVIE FLASHES FOOLISH QUESTIONS. Foolish questions never really had their day until motion pictures became the rage. Hardly a day passes that each big studio or someone therein, does not receive trivial and odd inquiries. Here are a few recent samples from the Selig mail: Kathlyn Williams "Do you dance the hesitation?" "Are you thinking of coming to Waco, Texas, soon?" "Really, don t actresses ever fall in love with those handsome leading men?" "Do you make the 'Kathlyn' perfume or is it some company you belong to?" Tom Santschi "Are you stern in real life also?" "Do you like poetry? I do." "Did you once kill a tiger with your 1 bare hands?" "Why don't you fight! more in pictures?" Bessie Eyton "Have you a temper to match your red hair?" "Does another girl who looks like you do all those risky things in the pictures?" "Could you learn t to like someone who is just 18 and . who likes poetry and good books?" j COWBOY FILM. i Tom Mix, the cow-boy actor who has attracted such attention in this and ; other countries during his sensational appearance on the screen, soon will be seen in a western comedy entitled: "The Real Thing In Cowboys." If there ever was a "real thing" in chaps, Mix has proven his right to the title. Even in the coming comedy. Mix makes one of those hair-raising rescues of "the girl." Goldie Colwell, of Los Angeles, plays the lead opposite the daring Tom.

MUSIC UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE WITH APPEAL TO ALL HEARTS Fifth Congress of International Music Society at Paris Brings Together Musicians From All Over the Globe Topics of General Interest Engross Attention.

The world at one time and another has tried to imitate a universal language. Of the most general modern knowledge was Volapuk, a gibberish which, for a time, had great rogue. But in the nature of things it died an unnoticed death, although it Jiad a maze of textbooks and convened in International congresses. It was succeeded by Esperanto, which still holds sway. These, however, are mere .linguistic fads. The only world's language, so-called, will be that which "follows the flag." And this because it will chase after commercial progress. The trend of events at present points to the English which is rapidly becoming current through the commercial medium. It has been said, and truly, that music is the only language with the universal appeal. People the globe over travel to Beiruth, that German city where Wagner is heard in supposed perfection, in the famous music festivals which bear his name. Understand Wagner. They may be unable to understand but one language, and that their own, but they all understand Wagner. This fact was exemplified at the recent fifth congress of the International Musical society, held in Paris early in June. People from Russia, Australia, America, Germany and other countries were what was termed "voluntary pilgrims" to Paris to attend the sessions of this organization, which were of overwhelming interest. The congress opened on the evening of June 1, with a reception 'and a program by leading Parisian musicians, which had for its most notable number a piano solo by Louis Diemer, the dean of French pianists, who is said, by an authority "to bear much the same relation to the Parisian musical world that Joachim bore to the Berlinese." Topics Discussed. Among some of the subjects considered by the congress were, "Music in the Armies and Navies of Europe," "Some Notes on the Musical Relations and France and Poland," "Shakespeare and Irish Music," and "Popular Armenin Music," all of which, in view of recent international events, is significant.
