ors In singing at the London Opera
House. London. England, before King
George and Queen Mary. Miss Lyne s
home Is In Kansas City, and she has
visited this city as a guest of her rela
tlvea. Dr. and Mrs. Moore. This ex
tract from the Kansas City fetar (news
paper) describes Miss Lyne's latest
London success. April :i:
King George and Oscar Hammersteln
exchanged warm handshakes and greet
ings this afternoon at the matinees at
the London Opera House in behalf of
the League of Mercy, a charitable or
ganization. Later In the afternoon.
Queen Mary sent for Miss Felice Lyne.
the Kansas City soprano discovered by
Mr. Hammersteln. and warmly con
gratulated her on her singing and
acting.
After considerable handshaking be
tween the members of the royal party
and those who were presented to them.
Prince Alexander of Teck beckoned to
Mr. Hammersteln. who wore the rosette
of the Legion of Honor, and as Oscar
stepped forward, said to the king:
"Permit ma to present Mr. Hammer
steln." The King and the impresario shook
hands warmly, Mr. Hammersteln say
ing: "I am highly honored to shake hands
with the King of England."
King George replied: "I appreciate
the efforts you are making aad am glad
to be In your bouse today."
The quartet of American artists who
sang the garden scene from "Faust"
aroused the keenest Interest of the King
and Queen, who heartly applauded the
performance. Immediately after the
conclusion of the scene. Prince Alex
ander ot Teck went back of the stage
and said to Miss Felice Lyne. who sang
the role of Marguerite:
"Miss Lyne, the Queen has sent me
for you."
The little American prima donna was
then escorted to the royal box. where
Queen Mary greeted her In the most
friendly manner. She congratulated the
American girl on her singing and then
naively asked:
"Tou are part American, are you
notr
"I thank your majesty for your kind
ness, but I am wholly American." Miss
Lyne responded.
"So much the better," the Queen
smilingly responded.
Queen Mary showed great interest in
Miss Lyne. her career and her history
and made the young singer feel perfect
ly at home. At the conclusion of the
talk between the Queen and Miss Lyne.
which lasted more than It minutes,
her majesty said: "Tour voice Is beau
tiful. It will carry you far. I must
meet you airaln."
Miss Lyne told the correspondent aft
erward that she was delighted with the
democracy and charm of the Queen,
who was very close to being perfectly
beautiful.
The occasion from a social stand
point was a brilliant affair and the
performance nettea iduuu tor tne

next season In the concert field, as he
has been engaged to sing throughout
the season at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York.
Free organ recitals during the noon
hour for Kansas City business people,
st Urnnd-avenuo Methodist Kpiscopal
Church there, attract attention, and
have been quite successful, so -far as
attendance and enthusiasm are con
cerned. "The most gratifying feature
of the first noon recital was the fact
that the audience was composed almost
exclusively of the music hungry, the
office girls and others who were eager
to devote a portion of their luncheon
hour to listening to good music," says
the Kansas City Journal "Such an
audience Is always an inspiration, more
so than one made up of the sated and
the professional, the hypersophlsti
cated, whose souls are - wrung with
anguish at a tempo too quick or too
slow or at a flash of 'white voice.'
Culture Is not a matter of class or sta
tion or the price of tickets, and the
most appreciative audience Is not
necessarily made up of the best
dressed. This was evidenced at the
first noon recital, which may be taken
as the latest forward step in Kansas
City's musical progress. This prog
ress must not be measured entirely by
the success of the great artists who
are heard here, but rather by the ex
tent of the 'muslo hunger already re
ferred, to. The efforts of those who
take It upon themselves to uplift the
people do not alwsys meet with un
qualified appreciation, but each Is a
contribution to the success that - Is
certain to come. If such organ recitals
during the noon hour were given In
this city, the only church building left
downtown Is that of the First Metho
dist Episcopal Church. Third and
Taylor streets.

Pr. H. J. Stewart, of San Francisco,
has been awarded the prize by the
Pittsburg (Pa.) Male Chorus, for a
musical composition he wrote for
male chorus, orchestra and baritone
solo, with obllgato parts for pipeorgan
and harp. The poem selected by the
Pittsburg Society and which was set to
mTJalc by all the competitors, was
Bayard Taylor's "A Song of the Camp."
The scene of the poem Is laid In the
trenches outside Sebastopol at the time
of the Crimean War. The time de
picted Is the night of the storming of
the Redan and Malakoff. and there are
many dramatlo passages descriptive of
the bombardment. The poem con
cludes with a solemn requiem for tha
heroic dead, and here the composer has
made effective use of the organ ac
companiment. The competition closed
some months ago, but the rules pro
vided that the successful work should
be rehearsed and produced at the last
concert of the season. The sealed en
velope containing the name of the
successful composer was opened, at the
Pittsburg concert, and the announce
ment made to the audience.
