Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1868-07-22

are pleased to learn through the Enter
prize of this morning, that thinner, the
talented young leader of the orchestra
at Pipers' Opera House, has carefully
perused our article in yesterdays News,
suggesting to him personally that he
introduce a few more new pieces into
his programme of evening music, and
also %endeavor, as far as possible, to
adapt his music to the character of the
play. In reply he goes on to Islander
%Rippingham and the rest Of them, by
wickedly saying that there are few
leaders who would attempt to do any
thing at all with such an orchestra as
he has, and that those who expect big
things from four instruments, know but
little about music" In saying that,
thinner gives himself rather of n rough
old dig. We do expect "big things "
even from thinner alone, for we know
his talent and ability to be far the supe-
rior Of Schreiner, Smith, or any other
orchestra leader we have yet seen there,
and We desire him to have an equal
show with them in the estimation of the
Opera House audiences. Now what we
propose is this Let thinner discharge
the balance Of the orchestra, and we
and Brier will take their places. Brier
can do the big fiddle, and we ourself
are quite distinguished on the tin whis-
tie. With such u combination of talent,
surely characteristic music could be
produced. For instance, tonight
"Love's Masquerade" will be the play.
We know nothing Of the incidents or
character of the piece, yet this is the
way we would serve up the music for it.
Not a single hurdy house waltz should
be included in our programme, but after
the FIRST act, introducing the parties
that are to do the loving, when
the curtain went down We would
play, "0h /! l should like to marry"
At the conclusion Of a N act where some
body got desperately Rugged, we would
play the "Young Gal from Souoma."
If there is any act in it where a small
army of Roman soldiers come in, we
would play "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the
Boys are Marching" For the benefit
of the rival lover who gets his nose set
up by the favored one, we would play
"Pop goes the Weasel" After the
wedding scene we would play "The
Monkey married the Baboon's Sister,"
and ut the last act Of all, where the old
gray headed father stalking
grandly in, with his hands extended as
he yields his paterual blessing on the
kneeling, happy pair, while the "supes"
are packing of the corpses Of defeated
we would play a grand triumphal
medley consisting Of "Hail to the
Chief" "Coal Oil Tommy" and the
H Dead March in Saul" To all OF these
suggestions thinner is perfectly well
come, and in case he drills his little
orchestra properly, perhaps our assist
ance and Briefs may not be required.
