SOME REAL MUSICAL ABILITY.
How Musical Conductor for "The Girl from
Montmartre" Saved the Situation with His
Wonderful Memory and Cleverness When
the Music Was Lost on the Road.
An incident showing the need for ingenuity in
the career of a traveling conductor was experienced
by Josiah Zuro during the season just past, while
he was associated with Charles Frohman's produc-
tion of "The Girl from Montmartre."
After traveling from Toronto to Washington,
Mr. Zuro made the discovery, while at rehearsal
with the local orchestra on Monday morning, that
the music had been l?ft behind. The performance
had to go on that evening, however, and accord-
ingly Conductor Zuro had to get the music ready.
All morning and afternoon he wrote out the
music of the strings, woods and brasses from
memory, no copy of the music being available. In
the evening he put a piano in the orchestra pit and
played himself, besides acting as the conductor.
The task was not yet completed, however, and the
intermissions found him busily writing "parts."
On the next day the local papers spoke in com-
plimentary terms of th? work of the orchestra.
Mr. Zuro, who, after the close of the "Girl from
.Montmartre," conducted a season of grand opera
with the Zuro Opera Company in New York, will
spend the summer in New York coaching singers
in operatic roles.
MORE VIENNESE OPERETTAS.
"Dear Vienna" with Music by Robert Stolz—
Lehar Operetta Entitled "Alone at Last."
One rather caustic critic has remarked that they
turn out operettas in Vienna at about the same
rate as they manufacture carpet tacks in the United
States, but nevertheless the supply of such musical
productions still continues. One of the latest
Viennese pieces just announced, and which is said
to be in a fair way to be presented in America at
a later date, is "I)u Liebes Wien" (Dear Vienna),
with music, said to be excellent, by Robert Stolz.
Franz Lehar has written another operetta with
the title "Endlich Allein" (Alone at Last), which
is to make its debut on the fete day of the Kaiser,
on October 1 next. Mizzi Gunther will take care,
of the leading part.

THE FIRST OF "DIXIE LAND."
Frank Dumont Runs Across Original Bill Upon
Which Famous Song Was First Mentioned.
In a recent letter to the Clipper, Frank Dumont,
the prominent actor, says: "1 have found an old
bill in which 'Dixie Land' is announced for the
first time, April I'), IS')!). This is the earliest an-
nouncement 1 have ever found of 'Dixie.' It was
said by many that it was written in winter time
(18.*ii)), and inspired by the cold and ^lcet. This
is even mentioned in a life of Dan Eminett, pub-
lished in Columbus, ()., in which the writer says it
was produced in the winter of 1850."
GUTMANN TO WRITE MEMOIRS.
Prominent Vienese Concert Agent Promises to
Produce Interesting Volume of His Experi-
ences During His Active Life of Forty Years.
Albert Gutmann, the founder of the well-known
Viennese concert agency, who rejoices in the fol-
lowing titles (to which, by the way, more worth
is attached in this part of the world than in
America and England) Imperial Councillor, Court-
Music-Publisher, etc., is at the moment said to be
occupied in writing his "memoirs." The work,
which is to be named "Forty Years of Musical
Life in Vienna" (Vierzig Jahre Wiener Musik-
leben), will be published in German, French and
English in the cities of Vienna, Paris and London.
