18The Bush Temple of Music is not only a memorial to a good and great man, but it is designed to perpetuate the best interests of music and the allied arts. Architecturally, the Bush Temple of Music is notable in this city of beautiful buildings as the best American copy of the famous Parisian Hotel de Ville. The building is constructed on the most approved plans and is a model in its appointments, provided with well ventilated, sound proof studios, recital halls (three in number) and one of the finest auditoriums in the city, elaborate in decorations and furnishings. The equipment of this auditorium includes a large three manual pipe organ and a spacious stage, especially adapted to orchestral and choral concerts and to operatic performances. The seating capacity is over 1,000. In this auditorium are given the recitals of faculty and advanced students. It is especially adapted to the study of operatic and dramatic art. The assembly hall is next in size, seating over 600, while the two smaller halls each seat about 300.
20The management of the Bush Temple of Music have secured some of the very best talent in the country to form their faculty, and their course of studies is both comprehensive and systematically arranged, so that a lucid idea of the general relationship of the various phases of music art is presented to the pupil and developed individually.

45The Chicago Madrigal Club, D. H. Clippinger, musical director, gave the first concert of the sixth season on December 13 at Music Hall. The assisting artists were Herbert Witherspoon and Mrs. F. D. Stevens. The singing of the club was marked by much style and finish, and the varied program was one of interest, although a more strict adherence to the real madrigal would add additional charm to the work of this very popular club. Herbert Witherspoon was heard in songs by Buonincini, Handel, Hans Hermann, Hugo Kaun, Frank Tours, H. Lane Wilson, J. A. Wade, W. G. Hammond.
47A children's concert was given by the Caruther's Morman School of Piano this afternoon at the Assembly Hall, Fine Arts Building.
