Musical Clubs and Record

Up to the '60s music in San Jose had not reached beyond the stage of very amateur performances. But when musical courses were placed on the list of studies at the College of Notre Dame, Santa Clara College and Prof. Freman Gates' San Jose Institute, the musical tone of the community was both strengthened and improved. Soon teachers of ability and eminence began to come in, the first of which were Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Hamm. They arrived in the '60s and soon made their work and in- fluence felt. Mrs. Hamm, with her clear, bird- like soprano, had been an operatic singer in the East and Mr. Hamm, a basso, had ap- peared often in concerts. They opened a school, secured many pupils and gave many public entertainments. Among the local sing- ers of those days were Ella Bassett (Mrs. Goodsell), Ella Cook (Mrs. Stark). Mary Rhodes (Mrs. Barstow), Beatrice Lawrey (Mrs. Hollenbeck), Mary Youngberg, George Pomeroy, D. B. Moody, Ben Caswell, Charles F. Macy, Elliott Reed, H. A. Keinath and C. C. Cook. Later came R. B. Crichton, W. A. Parkhurst, Grace Greene, Mrs. W. A. Mc- Leod, Della Marvin, Jennie McLeod, Lois Singletary, Will Hervey, Elmer Chase, Henry C. Murgotten, and several others.

J. H. Ellwood arrived in the early seventies and in September, 1875, organized the Handel and Haydn Society with the following charter members : B. F. Caswell. J. H. Ellwood, George Pomeroy, W. A. Parkhurst, A. P. Murgotten, G. E. Lighthall, R. B. Crichton, Elliott Reed, Alfred Barstow, W. D. St. Claire, Charles E. Schroeder, E. Rousseau, J. W. Pembroke, C. T. Bird and Mesdames J. H. Ellwood, A. Barstow, B. L. Hollenbeck, E. P. Reed, Elliott Reed, L. A. Tuck. A. E. Pomeroy, H. S. Foote, A. M. Crichton, W. D. St. Clair, E. Rousseau and Miss Della Marvin, Allie Marvin, Lillie Johnson, Nora Willey, Mary Willey, Fannie

Williams, Emma Pembroke, Sallie Webb. The original officers were: Elliott Reed, president ; Mrs. B. L. Hollenbeck, vice-president : George Pomeroy, secretary ; G. E. Lighthall, treasur- er ; W. D. St. Clair, librarian ; J. H. Ellwood, conductor ; Miss Lucy Washburn, pianist. The society was in existence for several years. It was succeeded by the Philharmonic Society, which also was short lived.

In 1883 Prof. J. W. Rainey and Clarence T. Urmy arrived in San Jose to add strength and artistic ability to the local musical coterie. Before them had come Henry L. Schemmel, pianist and vocalist ,and Miss Frederika Hoff- man, a lover and interpreter of Chopin. Prof. Rainey was for many years a teacher of vocal music, while Mr. Urmy, after a long period of faithful and distinguished work is now a mem- ber of the faculty of the State Normal School, a power for good in the musical department. He is also one of America's popular poets, his published verse having been in evidence for twenty-odd years.

In the nineties a new artist appeared upon the scene in the person of Frank Loui King, a born musician, composer and leader. He es- tablished the King Conservatory of Music and was for several years dean of the Conservatory of Music at the College of the Pacific. He died several years ago. His family inherited his tastes, his son Frank Giorza King taking charge of the Conservatory of Music, while his daughter, Miss Luena King, won laurels both as a performer and composer. The air was charged with music with Ellwood and King in town. Several musical clubs and quartets were formed and many entertain- ments were given. The D'Ablaing brothers, Fritz and George, were the next arrivals. One was a violinist, the other a cellist, and their orchestra furnished San Jose some of the best music it had ever listened to.

Other teachers and performers were Prof. G. M. Schuck, Prof. Everett Pomeroy, Prof. Z. M. Parvin and Miss Emily Peelor. The Burrows Musical Kindergarten and the Fael- ton Fundamental System were first introduced to San Jose by Miss Peelor.

In later years San Jose has listened to the peerless singing of Mrs. Hillman-Smith, Mrs. D. J. Gairaud, Mrs. A. S. Bacon, Miss Lulu Pieper, Mrs. Mary Weaver McCauley, Miss Mary Webster, Georgia Ryder, Mrs. Mil- dreth Spencer Hartman, and the fine instru- mental work of Clarence Urmy, Mrs. H. B. Worcester. G. C. Buchrer, Mrs. James J. Con- nell, Mrs. William J. Leet, Fred C. Brohaska, Tillie Brohaska, Miss May D'Oyley, Miss 1sa- bel Longdon, Miss Augusta Schroeder, Miss Almee Auzerais and many others. Miss Grace Barstow makes violins artistically and plays

them exquisitely. Before her marriage to Prof. Joseph E. Hancock, principal of the Grant School, Mrs. Hancock, then Lessie Rainey, was an accomplished mistress of the violin. Since her marriage she has ceased playing that instrument in public. though she has not given up her musical studies. She is a musical composer of surpassing ability and her efforts in this line have been heard and appreciated in the several operettas produced at the Grant School.

The singing and acting of the late Charles W. Williams vastly entertained San Joseans for many years. Under his management there were produced at the Victory and California theaters those favorite light operas, "Olivette," "The Mikado," "Patience," "Pirates of Pen- zance," and "The Mascot." He was a singing comedian and would have made a fortune on the professional stage had he not elected to re- main in San Jose and devote himself to news- paper work. He was the founder and for many years the publisher of the Evening News.

Of the singers in San Jose at the present time, there are Chester Herold. Amos Wil- liams, Roy Thompson, Frank Towner, Dr. C. M. Richards. Dr. M. F. Hopkins, W. E. Johnson, Miss Olga Braslan, Miss Lultt Piep- er, Mrs. Hillman-Smith, Mrs. A. S. Bacon, Mrs. D. J. Gairaud. Mary Webster and oth- ers. Among the teachers are Mrs. Hillman- Smith, Mrs. Gairaud, Miss Webster, Miss Louisa Simpson, Mrs. Kerwin, F. E. Blick- felt, Iva Brown, G. H. D'Ablaing, Blanche Fox, J. L. McDonnell, Mrs. E. B. McDowell, Bertha Semple, Miss Maud Caldwell, Walter B. Kennedy, Mrs. Daisie L. Brinker, Mrs. Ella Cook Stark, L. V. Brant.

The Y. W. C. A.

A matter of vital interest to Santa Clara County during recent years has been the erec- tion and equipment of a structure for the Young Women's Christian Association. The idea of having an up-to-date plant, fitted in every way to aid in supplying the physical, social and spiritual needs of the girls and young women in San Jose and vicinity, was

conceived in June, 1914, and carried out dur- ing 1915 and 1916, until its realization at the dedication of the building on May 14, 1916. Its cost in round numbers was $78,000, and the remaining $30,000, of the total subscription of $108,000, was used for furnishing and equip- ment for its various departments.

It was the result of months of careful plan- ning and thought on the part of the women whose idealism, concurring with the power of the moment, served to produce it-a lasting monument to the vision and enterprise of the good people of San Jose. Men as well as

women took hold with a will, and by their gifts, their vision of the needs of girls and young womanhood, and by their indefatigable energy, made its construction possible. The initial gift of $25,000 was made by Mrs. Maria P. Schofield, who, without girls of her own, reached out to the needs of all girls, and was quickly followed by contributions ranging from fifty cents to $2000.

The expert work of the National Y. W. C. A. secretaries was a revelation to the workers in San Jose, who had not before realized that women could be so efficient and far-seeing. The efforts of Miss Schooley, Miss Jaynes, Miss Lee and Miss Ristine will long be held in grateful memory by those who were privi- leged to share in them.

Mrs. D. A. Beattie was the first president and opened the first year's work with the fol- lowing board of directors: Mrs. George Gil- man, Mrs. J. B. J. Tuthill, Mrs. J. W. Crider, Mrs. W. C. Curtner, Mrs. T. A. Manning, Mrs. S. B. Squires, Mrs. Arthur Washburn, Miss Mary Helen Post, Miss Ruth Laird Kim- ball, Miss Frances Schallenberger, Mrs. Dr. Charles Hare, Miss Elizabeth Woodhams, Miss Carlotta Wood. Through the courtesy of the national board, the Association was able to have the services of Miss Julia T. Lee in following up the campaign work and later the directors secured for the general management, Miss Ada B. Hillman and an able corps of de- partment secretaries. Miss Hillman served efficiently for three years and was succeeded by Miss Emma Palmer, an industrial expert. She is the present general secretary.

The beginning of an endowment fund was in a bequest of $500 from the late Mrs. Crum- mey. Other wills have been made, bearing the Association in mind, in bequests which will increase this fund.

Nothing short of a detailed description of the various departments of Association work could give any adequate idea of what is now being done for girls and young women in this building. It is impossible to estimate the value of this preventive and constructive work in the community, and so notable a beginning points only to enlargement and greater use- fulness.

The officers for 1922 are Mrs. D. A. Beattie, president : Miss Lucy Tarleton, recording sec- retary ; Mrs. Cassie Burnett, corresponding secretary ; and Mrs. L. T. Smith, treasurer.

Club La France

The Club La France, of San Jose, was or- ganized on October 26, 1902. The object was to get all the French-Americans together for benevolent, patriotic and social purposes. Ever since the organization the club has yearly

239

HISTORY OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY

arranged for and carried out the celebration of the Fall of the Bastile on July 14. In 1920 the affair was held at Eastside Park. In addition to dancing, the singing of the Marseillaise and the Star Spangled Banner, Dr. A. C. Jayet de- livered a stirring address, first in French and then in English. The club is caring for six orphans, made so by the European war, and a part of the proceeds of the celebration will go toward the maintenance of the orphans, the rest for the benefit of the French section of the public library. The officers of the so- ciety are: Jean Costere, president ; Joseph Sa- batte, vice-president ; Justin Lasalle. secre- tary ; directors, Frank Quement, Jean Verdier, P. Sabatte. During the war the club gave balls to raise funds for French and Belgian re- fugees, bought Liberty bonds, helped the Red Cross. and spent money freely for other things in aid of the American cause.

The Boy Scouts

The Boy Scouts of America were organized in 1910. In 1916 Rev. Frank J. Mclain in- inaugurated the movement in San Jose by the formation of a troop of school boys. The public encouragement given induced the for- mation of other troops so that at the end of four years there were nine troops and one pat- rol in San Jose and six troops in the country. The oath is as follows: "On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and obey the Scout law ; to help others at all times, to keep myself physically strong,

mentally awake, and morally straight." The Scout law imposes these rules: Be trust- worthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous. kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.

In 1917 and 1918, while America was at war with Germany the Boy Scouts of the city and county did valiant work for the various com- mittees, in planting war gardens, selling thrift and war saving stamps, Liberty bonds, Red Cross stamps, and in acting as distributors of patriotic literature. In fact they did every- thing that was required of them and more. J. H. Rainwater is the executive officer.

Loyal Italo-American Club

The Loyal Italo-American Club was organ- ized in 1919 with a membership of five. In 1922 the roll showed over 600 names. The organizers were D. M. Denegri, president : D. Campisi, F. Ruiz, Frank Cavallaro and C. D. Cavallaro. It is the purpose of the club to bring Italians together and by cooperation instill into their minds a respect and admira- tion for American institutions. Love for Amer- ican ideals should, according to one of their orators, be theirs always. The officers in 1920 were: D. M. Denegri, president ; Joseph Spin- elli, vice-president; R. O. Maino, secretary. and Paul Cavala, treasurer. On July 11, 1920. more than a thousand people attended the annual picnic at Eastside Park. The pro- ceeds were used in fitting up the club rooms.
