Mr. Kearney outlined some of the plans for
the Fall season conceived by Mary Carson, a
former grand opera star and well-known concert
artist, who is now president and general director
of the Houston Opera Association. The opera
season will be held from October 23 to 28 and
will, as usual, be one of the most important
musical activities of the South. Mr. Kearney
was most enthusiastic over the work performed
by Miss Carson and in describing her abilities
he said: "She is the guiding genius of all our
musical activities; she is responsible for the pro-
motion of opera in Houston and her splendid
work is responsible for Houston being the musi-
cal center of the South—another Boston."
By no means does the annual opera end the
musical functions in Houston, for it may here be
remarked that the Treble Cleff Club, of that city,
will give five concerts this year and has already
booked such concert artists as Paul Althouse,
Arthur Middleton, Carolina Lazzari and Cyrena
Van Gordon. In an interview Mr. Kearney par-
ticularly remarked on the work of C. M. Tre-
maine, of the National Bureau for the Advance-
ment of Music, as well as that of the Ampico Art
Society.

The Edward B. Marks Music Co., publisher of
"Little Red Schoolhouse," has received numer-

the above number.
A letter from the Windsor Poling Co., Akron,
O., recently received, reads: "No doubt you will
be interested to know that we have had a phe-
nomenal success with the Victor record of 'Little
Red Schoolhouse' on the opening day. In fact, it
boosted our sales something like $200 in records
over any previous Saturday in the' last two
months."
SHRINERS LIKE "GYPSY LADY"
Number From Ahlheim Catalog Heard at
Shrine Convention in San Francisco
The Walter C. Ahlheim Music Co., 746 Main
street, Decatur, 111., is the publisher of a song
entitled "Gypsy Lady," which has been adopted
as the official song of the Ancient Arabic Order
of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The number was
sung at the annual gathering of Shriners in San
Francisco in June. Ross Vernon Miller, presi-
dent of the North American Shrine Chanters and
director of Za-Ga-Zig, with Les Hodges, who
is known as "The Mountain o' Melody," led the
chanters in singing this song.
