THE LINCOLNIAN 23 clear voice. All the numbers were well rendered and received. The Horner institute of Fine Arts fur- nished the program on Sunday, March Zd. Every person on this program was an artist, as was shown by the quality of the numbers which were rendered. Dur- ing this program a song, “In the Heart,” by Maj. N. C. Smith, was sung by Mr. Rosenburg, director ot the studio. As us- ual the program was enthusiastically re- ceived by the audience, which goes to show that we, as a race, have learned to appreciate things of musical merit. On April 6th the monthly musical was given by our own High School organiza- tions, the band, the boys’ quartette and chorus, the orchestra and the girls ' chorus. Both choruses sang very well, though many of the members were not present. The band played three selections, the last being “Light Cavalry” overture. The boys played this overture very well, and this number, judging by the applause of the audience was enjoyed most. The boys played their instruments with perfect ease and the chorus as usual was encored. May 4th program was given by artists from the David Grosch School of Music. Program was very good and enjoyed by everyone present. The next musical concert in our audi- torium was given under the direction of Mr. Watts by an orchestra composed of grade school pupils. The little children played with much interest and were an inspiration, not only to the parents of these children, but also to older musicians. The hope of the Lincolnian is that the young musicians will continue to develop their musical talents. The last concert was rendered by the Coleridge-Taylor Musical Club. Every number on the program was written by Coleridge-Taylor. Those on program were Miss Venerable, Miss Eva Moore, Mrs. Ophelia Watts, Miss Sweatman, Major N. C. Smith, Prof. Reynolds of Kan- sas City, Kas., and Prof. J. E. Jones of Columbia, Mo., Mr. W. D. Foster on the flute, and many other notable artists. Among the selections sung were “O, Ye That Love the Lord,” “Viking Song,” and “Hiawatha’s Vision,” from “Hiawatha’s Departure.” This program was well worth the commendation that exhibited itself in the applause of the auditors. The faculty of our school had intended to give the musical concert in June, but as school closed two weeks earlier than had been expected, all intentions were given up. However, every morning or so. in our assembly a number of this program was enjoyed by our student body. The musical programs were enjoyed by many people of our city, and many were made happy by spending an afternoon in oi ir auditorium listening to a musicale. “Music hath charms.” E. B. PERRY, ’19. DRAMATIC ART. Despite the fact that the schools were closed so long on account of the influ- enza epidemic, thus causing the students to devote most of their time to intensive study, the Senior Class has done some very commendable work along dramatic lines. On Friday evening, April 11, the Senior class presented in the school’s auditorium a play, “The Silver Thread.” The play il- lustrated some of the superstitions of the Cornish people of long, long ago; the kind, wonderful and impossible things which the good fairies brought to pass, and the many wrongs and harm- ful things which the mischievous goblins did. The story represented how Cubert, a miner lad and son of Dame Morna, is rewarded for being courteous to an old woman who gives him a beautiful and in- deed wonderful ring which she tells him to wear and whenever he is in trouble or danger it would show him the way to safety. Some time later, the mischievous gob- lins steal the Princess Gwenda and take her to their home beneath the ground. Cubert learns of what the ugly goblins have done and deems it a good opportun- ity to test the value of his ring. The brave and gallant boy therefore rushes to her rescue. After reaching the prin- cess, whom ht finds in the goblins’ home, a silver thread is seen attached to the ring and leading through the doorway. They follow the thread and are led to safety. For his brave deed, Cubert is of- fered by King Radnor, half of his king- dom, but Cubert declines the offer, thanks him and asks that he be given nothing more than a new pick axe for himself and a velvet dress for his mother. The performance was well rendered and greatly enioyed by a large audience. We received very favorable comments and were thus very much encouraged. The Seniors are now busy and working on their class night play, the title of which is “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” It is one of the most beautiful of Shakes- peare’s comedies. It is a story of love with its background in Grecian Mythol- ogy. Theseus, the Duke of Athens, is about to be married to Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. They are arranging the details of their wedding when they are interrupted by an old man, Egens, who is accompanied by his daughter Hermia and her two suitors, Demetrius and Lysander. Hermia’s father is anxious to have his daughter marry Demetrius but her heart’s choice is Lysander. The old man is so exasperated at his daughter’s refusal of his choice for her that he ap- peals to the Duke who tells Hermia that unless she marries Demetrius, she must either die or become a nun. Now, Demet- rius has previously made love to another girl, Helena, who thinking him sincere,

Smith, our musical director, has been mostly responsible for the extra- ordinary musicals that Lincoln has enjoyed the past school year. The musicals this year have been given bv outside organiza- tions, and much talent has been exhibited. A great deal of good has been derived from these concerts both by our students and the public. These programs have caused us to appreciate, as well as to en- joy high class music. On October 6th, the concert was ren- dered bv the American Federation of Mu- sicians Band. Prof. D. E. Blackburn is the director. The auditorium was well crowd- ed on this occasion, and each number was well received by the audience. Due to the influenza epidemic another concert was not held until January 5th. The program then furnished was by artists from the Studio building, located in this city at 9th and Locust streets. This was the first time these artists from the re- nowned studio had ever given a program for a colored audience. They were as overwhelmed by the size of the audience as the audience was by their exceptionally fine program. A concerto in D minor, Al- legro moderato, by Bach, was played by three of the ladies at the same time on three different pianos. This number was quite novel, for possibly no one in the au- dience had heard three pianos being played at the same time. Three Negro Charac- teristics for the violin, by Major N. C. Smith : “The Orange Dance” (British Guinea Melody). “The Banana Walk” (St. Helena Island, S. C.). “The Pineapple Lament” (Martinique Melody), were masterfully played by one of the ladies from the studio. No one in the audience could find words to express his appreciation. The concert in February was fine, be- yond doubt, and was well received by a large and appreciative audience. Three of our teachers contributed numbers on this program, in the persons of Messrs. Mor- rison, Foster and Massey. Mr. Clyde Glass played a beautiful piano solo, and Miss Lessie King, one of our graduates, sang a solo with her usual sweet, round,
