VETERANS WILL HELP;

Peace and Neutrality Object of Societies Giving Affair of Interest to Lovers of German Music.

The branch of the German Alliance of the United States in this city, under whose auspices the concert for the benefit of the Red Cross is to be given on November 18 and 19 in St. John's hall, by the members of the Motnerchor and the Militaireverein, Is but one of many allied organizations over the country which is giving similar entertainments for the same cause. During; the past week over $100,000 has been turned over by the National German Alliance to the German ambassador at Washington to go to the Red Cross fund for the relief of the stricken districts in Europe. One thousand tickets have been put out for sale, each ticket selling for 20 cents, the sale at this time being very good. As everything is given without charge, this will realize $200 for the Red Cross if all the tickets are sold, as it is expected they will be. Speak in German. D. H. Teeple, H. M. Ramsey, Joseph F. Wessell and C. O. Fienning of the Teeple Shoe company have had 2,000 programs printed tor the concert, and some of the latter will be left at the high school on Friday afternoon when Hans Koll and W. H. Duning, Jr.. will address the students in the German classes on the subject of various phases of the program numbers, both speakers to talk in German. The programs have also been left at the Hibberd school, where German is part of the instruction, and at St. John's and St. Andrew's parochial

schools.

With ear attuneji we hear a minor phrase, Which sings as sweetly cold as moonbeams shone Upon the vines and violets windblown, In an old fashioned close of other days, Where maidens, pure as snow, walked in a maze Of virgin dreams. Or as an exile lone, Wandering in alien lands would long for home, Yet proudly press the tears from strangers' gaze. A tone as passionless and pale and white As the vague ghosts of memory which haunt The melancholy days of hapless age, When fires of fancy dimmed in the twilight Of weary, waning years, still faintly flaunt The figures silhouetted on Life's stage. Esther Griffin White.

"Richmond boasts of its musical culture," said a leading citizen the other day, "and yet fails to patronize its best means to that end. "I mean by that, the Richmond Symphony orchestra, an institution which in Its short history, gave this city

; more prominence over the country than any other. I "When this orchestra was at its ( best it was quite as good as the Indi- . anapolis Symphony, which, for several j years, has given monthly Sunday afi ternoon concerts in the Murat theatre

done in the past. Needs Encouragement. "Mr. Nusbaum is perfectly willing to give his time as director and the members are willing to work under his leadership. "It only needs the interest and patronage of the public to keep it going and some body like the Commercial club should take the matter up at once and devise a way through which the organization can be made permanent. "There is no reason, either, why the May Festival choruses should not re-organize and work in connection with the orchestra, and thus keep intact two fine organizations which gave this city its reputation for musical culture in the past.

President Robert L.

STANDARD TEACHING OF MUSIC SOUGHT

At the recent meeting of the State Teachers' association in Indianapolis, the music section took important action in the appointment of a committee, of which Arthur Mason, supervisor of music, Columbus, Ind., is chairman, to prepare a plan to present to the next legislature to standardize the teaching of music in the public schools. Since every school from the rural to those of the state capital, is now under the direction of music supervisors this standardization can easily be brought about through some system to be worked out by the committee of which Mr. Sloan, supervisor of music in this city, is a member.

PRODUCES DISCORD

The writer, who calls himself oi herself "A Non," and who weekly writes "Major and Minor" for the Musical Leader, published in Chicago, gets

up what might be termed a "nifty" ! column, full of effervescence, ginger ' and high lights. The following, gleanj ed at random, gives a very fair notion i of his rapier-thrust style: j "The topsy-turvy arrangement of I 'Major and Minor' last week was due i to the fact that the make-up man is I an enthusiastic lover of cubic art. So ! he put our copy into a sieve, shook it I out and arranged it as it fell, until the i whole, as printed, closely resembled the famous 'Nude Descending a Stairj case' that last winter made such a hit with the cognoscenti.

MISS MABEL MORAN SINGS BEFORE CLUB

Miss Mabel Moran, of Dayton, who is to spend the winter in Richmond, and who has been a pupil of Blumenchein, the noted vocal teacher, will sing at the meeting of the Music Study club on Wednesday morning, November 18, in the public art galleries. Later Miss Moran will appear in a recital.

tain standard will be set to which all

will have to conform. The committee will meet some time before January 1.

MRS. McCABE SINGS.

Mrs. Guy McCabe, formerly one of the leading musiciar.s of Richmond, and wiio lias recently gone to Pittsburg for residence from Evanston, 111., recently gave a benefit performance for a children's fund in the Hartman theatre, Columbus, O., presenting her own playlet, "Henry's Study Hour," which she has given successfully in Chicago and other cities.

ACTIVE AT EATON.

Mrs. Lewis C. King, president of the Music Study club, goes to Eaton twice weekly as supervisor of music in the schools of that city.

Mr. Sloan expects soon to, begin the systematic teaching of the national hymns in the grades of the city schools so that by the time the pupils have reached a certain grade they will be familiar with the music and the words of the leading songs of this character peculiar to America. Mr. Sloan, whose march, "The Pierian," is familiar to the local public, having been played at one of the recent May festivals, is writing two other compositions of this class, one to be called "Our Orchestra," in B and E flat; the other, "Saluteto Richmond," in C and G flat.

A three-year-movement to obtain the free use of public school buildings outside of school hours in St. Louis has lately achieved its purpose and the social center will soon be a reality.
