Lovers of music have two events o Interest In-terest in store this week-tho pianoforte recital Tuesdav evening- at the Salt Lakc Theater by Arthur Shepherd, assisted by Wlllard Wclhc, and the ballad concert at 111ft church next Friday evening by Mrs. ' A D Molvln, assisted by Mrs. Kclsey and mW Wlshanl. Great Interest Is nlso being aroused in the appearance of Rubin Ru-bin Goldniark early In aiay, while- tho seml-wcckly recitals at tho .Tabcrnaclo aio amoiiR tho music events of the season sea-son -which are suro to bo a source of pleasure plea-sure to thousands of people. A Nuisance Here Also. The following criticism from the New York Sun may, or should be. of Interest In Salt Lake. Tho practlco of showing people to their seats while a muslcnl number Is In progress Is all too common, and tho beauty of many an otherwise splendid concert It? too frequently marred by those who aro unwilling to stand Quietly Quiet-ly at tho back of an auditorium until a number Is llnlshcd. Talking la another evil which Is becoming almost unbearable unbeara-ble at concerts here. Even tho macnlll-cent macnlll-cent playing of Harold Bailor had not i within it tho power to stop tho nuisance. and a number of peoplo sat and chatted 1 Uko po many magpies, much to the als- H, comfort and chagrin of poopte who hajl gone to enjoy tho music. Tho Now lork HLt Sun says. Hi "Now that tho season Is almost at an end It may bo permissible to call atton- tlon to a nuisance which has been stcndl-IJ stcndl-IJ ly growing In tho halls devoted to tho performance of musical works. Tho usl- I era aro supposed to bend their energies to L maintaining sllonco whllo the music Is In ti progress, and for many years It has been 1 a law of nil places of concert cnterpriso flj that peoplo shall not bo shown to their K "V pents whllo tho performance Is going on. fl "Llttlo by little tho ushers have fallen Into a condition of exceeding carelcss-j carelcss-j Hess In regard to thin matter. At Camc- Hl L'lo hall thero Is a ceaseless contest bc- f twecn ushers nnd conductors. "When tho 1 latter rap for the orchestra to come to nt- Hl tentlon tho ushers begin a scries of swift B rushes down tho aisles to get a fow more Hl peoplo to their seats. HH "Tho conductors naturally think that HBfll the ushcre should ceaso seating peoplo B) boforo tho music begins. Tho ushors ap- poor to believe that they are not to stop HHBp till after it begins, and they nevor do. Tho first half-dozen measures of every HH work aro spoiled by the pounding of feet rM In the aisles , "At Mendelssohn hall tho nuisance has crown to oven worso proportions, and quiet quartet porformancc3 and piano re- icltnls aro continually Interrupted by tho rattling of seals and the rustling of silks. A stern adheronco to the rule should bo enforced. Peoplo who aro In their scats when the muslo begins have rights whloh no ono Hhould bo ponnlttcd to disturb. Only a determined stand on tho part of these peoplo will securo attention to tho rule," llr. Shepherd's Recital. Doubtless tho Salt Lako Theater will be crowded on Tuesday evening with tho frionds and admirers of Arthur Shepherd Shep-herd upon tho occasion of his planoforto recital. Mr. Shepherd will bo assisted by Wlllard "Wolho, and. as tho programme Is an unusually artistic one, tho entertainment entertain-ment Is being anticipated with great pleasure by musicians and lovers of music, mu-sic, Tho programme follows: Sonata, D MaJ Scarlatti (1CS3-1757) .Theme and Variations A.

Shepherd Dedicated to Mr. Weihe. Balado F Minor Chopin Ktudo C MaJ op 34 MoszkovUI i To Perpetuate Wagner's Name. Paul Marsop, the eminent musical composer com-poser and litterateur, says an exchange, haa u new YVnpnor Idea, lie holds that nil personal tribute to the memory of Wagner Is Idle, but that thw master's name will best be perpetuated by a performance, per-formance, of his works. "Build German playhouses aftor the Beyrouth model. Klve In thorn tho plays of Schiller and Wagner, then you have memorials worthy of tho master and such as lie would have liked. Build a great German theater In Eisenach, at the foot of tho "VVartburg, With clear lines simple, of dark color. It will fit well Into the pines and green meadows, a real house In the woods. Keep the Walhalla clear from the smoky, smutty victuals of tho N'lbolungen and their horrid gold-making; secure a broad expanse of land and declare Jt to be the 'holy homo' of art; thon tho nation will have honored tho memory of Richard Wagner In the worthiest manner." The Idea Is an excellent ono. truly, and iho .pilgrims to the shrlno of Wagner can all volco the "Hall, Bright Abode" chorus under tho shadow of the hill where Luther Luth-er lived and where, In the Mlddlo Ages or before, the minstrels held their tournaments tourna-ments of song. I Concert at Murray. Tomorrow evening at the Murray Baptist Bap-tist church tho lSutorpc quartette, under tho direction of Prof. R. B.

Interest In tho Goldmark lecture recitals, reci-tals, to bo given at Unity hall early In May under tho auspices of Unity club, Is becoming so great that plans aro already on foot to securo another lecture, "Parsifal." "Par-sifal." This music drama has created such groat Interest throughout tho country, coun-try, especially In the past few months, that a lecturo recital on tho themo at this tlmo would bo suro to provo of tho greatest posslblo lntorcsL, A Colorado paper in rofcrrlng to this lecturo by Mr. Goldmark. saysi ' "Mr. Goldmark has lectured many limes on Wagner's more familiar operas, but last evening was the llrst tlmo that the 'Parsifal' lecture has been heard. "As Tristan and Isolde depicts the passion of terrestrial love, "Parsifal" Is a music drama of divine love. Tho rcllg-ous rcllg-ous spirit symbolized by tho Holy Grail, Is dominant from first to last, and tho rear climax of tho opera comes at tho end of tho second act, where the power which tho Grail has Invested In Parsifal finally destroys tho magical garden of Kllngsor. Mr. Goldmark did somo ndmlrablo work In this act, really rising to tho height he i is capable of. "Mr. Goldmark's playing was marked by the aamo brilliancy nnd power which usually characterizes It. especially In the grail music, and no ono who hoard him last night went awny without an Impression Impres-sion of his ability for Interpreting Wagnerian Wag-nerian music, and of his genius for making mak-ing an Involved music drama fall Into un easily comprehended production."
