A SPLENDID MUSICAL PROGRAM
Rendered to Large House by
the Kinder Symphony
Club of Salem.
THE KINDER SYMPHONY.

The young ladies of Salem who
took part in the Wednesday even-
ing's program are sincerely to be
congratulated on their success. To
organize and carry to its termina-
ton so many parts and have none
fail is credit to the directress, Miss
Edith Hughes, as we'll as her faith
full assistants, for seldom has Salem
audience been rewarded with such
an original and high-toned musical
program. The concert was opened
by the Salem Mandolin club COM
posed of the leader p. HI. Easton,
Carl Denton, H. @. Kreiss, Chas.
Chase. The club very generously
volunteered their services and were
encored each time they appeared.
Mrs. Willmau's playing was en-
tirely of classical music and seldom
has piano playing been listened to
with closer attention Id Salem than
on this occasion. The high charac.
ter of her selections made this fact
great tribute of respect for her ability
as a pianist, as more popular pieces
always please larger number. .
Mrs. Willman's piano playing was
highly complimented, and her touch
is very pure and sweet. Miss
Phelps on the harp delighted all.
The harp is a graceful instrument
and this time the richly constructed
harp was more than supplemental
by graceful performer. Miss
Phelps captivated everyone by her
appearance, and seems perfectly in
sympathy with the apparent object
of her musical affection.
Miss Morgan's love songs captured
the young people. Her cradle song
captlvated the mothers and in her
encore, the lullaby from "Ermine"
she scored another great success.
Miss Morgan pleased the Salem peo-
pie as no vocalist has ever been able
to do and storm of applause will
greet her every appearance here.
Prof. Coomer played pleasing
series of numbers on his cornet, Of
which he is the greatest master in
Oregon, or on the coast for that
matter. G. d. Ford sang 1.-THE
Answer" and was called back with
a storm of applause. His response
was equally we'll chosen and rem
dered and this popular singer added
new laurels to his local fame. Mr..
Ford is beyond question the most
brilliant young tenor in Oregon.
He has Ia fine figure for singer,
and combines great spirit and force
with feeling and ease of rendition
that always wins the hearts of the
audience. The friends of Mr.. Ford !
need not feel ashamed of him for
he has made the most of his oppor-
tunities.
The symphony proper was rich
take-off on the more pretentious
musical organizations by that title
and deserves more than a passing
notice, and we reproduce entire the
and Instrumentation of the
club as follows: Miss Leila Waters,
Lr umpet; Miss Edna Moody, snare
1rum; Miss Lulu Hirsch, cymbals;

The symphony club desire to
bank all who assisted them, and the
public for it's generous patronage. The
audience seemed anxious not only
% applaud and encore every good
number, but even overlooked any
mall fault such as is almost up-
lvoidable with an amateur enter
aiument. The stage decorations
