of humor which is ever present in his produc-
tions. His songs always bring laughter to the
surface, and after hearing one, amusement-seek-
ers await the rest, which are sure to follow, with
interest. His success may be laid down to three
attributes—a capacity for work, a keen sense
ot the funny and ludicrous side of life, and oeing
not only up to the ever-varying and changing
conditions of the amusement world, but a little
in advance of what the public are looking for and
desiring. Mr. Burkhardt has several books and
lyrics of comic operas under way, which will be
brought out later in the season by his publish-
ers, M. Witmark & Sons, with whom he Is under
contract for all his productions.

HARVARD'S MUSICAL DEPARTMENT.
Harvard University is to have a $75,000 house
for its musical department, the building to be
provided by the Harvard Pierian Sodality. The
pians, as prepared by New York architects, were
approved of by the late Professor Paine. The
building is to stand near the Jefferson labora-
tory. The sodality will be 100 years old in 1908,
and the building will be a memorial of this
event, in which all Harvard musical organiza-
tions will take part.
