The Georgetown Amateur Orchestra.
The last concert Of the series given by the
Georgetown Amateur Orchestra took place on
Friday evening in Lincoln Music Hall, under
tine direction of Mr.. E. Szemelenyi. The pro-
gram was as ambitious as any that the
orchestra has presented this year, and it
was hardly to be expected that such a
composition as Beethoven's "Egmont''
overture should be given performance
of really musical significance. But the anna
teurs, nevertheless. did much that reflected
credit upon their zeal and the earnest efforts
OF their conductor. The most noteworthy
number Of the program was, perhaps, the
Z minor concerto by Miss Lolita Mills, who
thus made her debut in this city as a pianist
IL was performance delightful in the rare
rlesrness and perfection of the young ladys
technique well in the exquisite taste and
purity of her artistic sense. Never was liberal
applause better deserved than was that which
greeted her performance.
