SOUTHERN OREGON MINER
Appropriate Setting for Beauty
Musical Notes
By I.AWKENCE Hill F HT
• This column did not apprur last
week for the Hiniplc reason that
the writer wax too busy getting
ready for the Normal school cob
cert to give much thought to the
doing» of the other niuMieal*
minded pvrsomig«-» around town
Excuse please!
• Speaking of concert«, the one
given by Robert Dodge certainly
pleased the audience who had
gathered to hear him lie sang
with good taste and had perfect
command of hla voice at all time»
Ills pianist, Mia. Itoxa Dodge
Galey, did a good job at the piano
Ax far ux my part <>( the pro­
gram wax concerned, suffice it to
xay that I managed to work up
a good 'ole' faxhloneil sweat be- I
fore it wax over but between the
drip, drip, of perspiration I could
perceive that Flossie Thompson,
my plitnlxl, wax putting up a
mighty fine exhibitton of accom­
panying Many people have the
Idea that a soloist docx it all but
hlx accompanist can muke or
bicuk hlx performance
k •
Mix II H Aiken»' string quar­
tet which lx composed of Mary
Roberson, Frances Aikens, Paul
Icenhower and Andiew Johnson, Is
to appear at the Christmas pro­
gram to be given at the high
school Tills ought to add a nice
touch to the progrum as string
quartets arc the ultra, ultra, when
It comes to class in the musical
world. The members are a nice
group of performers und Mrs
Aikens knows her way around
musically so the results should
be A-l.
• The Ashland Orchestral society
la keeping rather busy this week
A radio program wax played Tues­
day evening amt the rexultx were
gratifying to the members, many
of whom made their debut over
the all wavrx in that concert.
Thursday evening the orchestra
played the incidental music for
the Normul school production of
"The |j»te Christopher Benn " In
this appearnnci- we were without
the services of both Dewey Van
Curler and Dr. Marcus Woods.
Van Curler, our trumpeter, had
a date to deliver a Christmas tree
or something to someone, some
place down south Rather indefin- ,
Ite but he swears that It's the
truth Dr. Marcus Wood was also
busy that evening and relinquish­
ed his chair ax concert master of |
the clarinet
section to Virgil
Jean and Martha Shintani posed in a setting ot chrysanthemums ..
th< Garfield park conservatory in Chicago. The two little Japanese girls
arc friends of the Japanese consul at Chicago.
Jni'kson who capably filled the
K‘i|>
The musicians in this town have
Cixiperated wonderfully in helping
put this orchestra over ami speak­
ing of cooperation, it is worthy
of note that both the "Ashland
Miner" and the "Ashland Tidings"
have come to the front and J-ave
unstlned support to the musical
activities of this city Both are
to I m - thanked for theif stand on
this matter
• The ' Waltz Queens." Ashland's
all-girl orchestra, did a swell bit
of work at the Elks memorial
services last Sunday They played
beautifully I think It wax the
best Job they ever put up and
I believe that those present felt
the same way about It. Chester
Woods substituted
for
Phyllis
Sparr at the cello. Otherwise the
rostrum read ax follows: Jean
Claycomb, Mary Roberson, Flossie
Thompson, Ruth Hardy, I-a Verne
Roberson, Alicia Applegate,
Florence Hubert, Margaret Mil-
hoan and luturence Hubert direct-
I Ing
The Elks lodge presented each
girl with a great bouquet of flow­
ers and also tendered the use of
the hall to the orchestra in the
near future. Now watch things
hum. You know how those "waltz
given" parties are quite elabor­
ate, quite pretty and quite the
thing around here as far as the
younger set is concerned.
Favorite tunes: Mrs Margaret
Mills of the Junior high school
says her favorite is Kreisler’s fa-
1 moux "Caprice Viennors," while
I-eslie Kincaid must have been
dreaming of someone because he
chose “The Waltz You Saved for
Me."
• When Musical Notes" came out
flat-footed for letters for ‘he high
Page 5
school orchestra it started some­
thing Some sort of recognition
should I m - given those students
who are in there year in and year
out plugging along at rehearsals
and doing the best they can for
their school
It takes as much school spirit
to buck a lot of black notes on
h music staff as it does to buck
the line on the gridiron and the
school should admit it. It would
mean better turnouts and a lot
less grief for Director Ward Croft
if the students had something to
earn ax well as learn!
• Mr C Weaver, teacher at the
Junior high school, has written
th«- words and the music for the
Christmas cantata to be given at
his school In the near future. Re­
ports xay it Is good Now all he
i has to do lx to take part In the
cantata itself that would be vers­
atility with a vengeance.
• "America" first was sung pub­
licly on the 4th of July, 1332,
by school children of Boston In
the Park street church The man­
uscript is in the library of Har-
ard university and wax written
by Samuel Smith, a Baptist min­
ister.

• CODA:
Madam Schumann-
Heink once sang a concert In De­
troit with Gabrilowitch conduct­
ing Ax she left her seat to go
through the narrow aisle that led
to the platform her none too frail
figure found the going difficult
"Go
sideways,"
Gabrilowitch
suggested.
"Sideways
Ernestine!
Mein
Gott,” replied the stout singer, "I
haff no sideways!”
