The M. p. s. o. Concert.


The benefit concert given in the Con-
gregatioual church, last Friday evening.
by the McCook Public School Orchestra,
under the direction of Prof Reizenstein,
was an artistic success and most de-
lightfully interesting affair. There is
but one thing to regret and that is that
the attendance, though fair, appreci-
alive and enthusiastic, was not as large
as the concert merited.
The orchestra exhibited its marked
improvement and steady advancement
under the leadership Of Prof Reizen-
stein III the opening overture, Thunder
bolt" by Wagner. which was received
by the audience with some astonishment
and much pleasure
Masters Claude Odell, Charlie Maguer
and Willie Cullen of the first grade sang
their trio, ga Railroad Song
will, and their youthful enthusiasm was
roundly applauded.
The instrumental trio, Fantasia u
and l." was very pretty thing by Miss
Pearl Brewer, piano; Master Roy Smith,
flute; and Master Peter Biever, clarioret.
Which was followed by one Of Bcettger's
waltzes, Fairy Echoes" by
the orchestra
One Of the finest productions Of the
evening was the string sextette. Geise's
"Nocturne, by Misses Mabel Wilcox,
Halle Bomgardner annd Eve Reizen-
stein, and Messrs Joseph Reizenstein,
r. a. PennelL and Elmer Kay.
F. A. Pennell was roundly appiauded
for his baritone solo, Steinhauser's "Serf
Polka" III this lie was accompanied
by Miss Nellie Simpson Oh the piano
and Prof Reizenstein OH the violin
The first part Of the programme con
Guided with q piano duet-"Marct Of the
Amazons' by Misses Hattie Yarger and
Lillian Troth, which was well executed
indeed.
PART SECOND.
The overture by the orchestra from
the Calf Of Bagdad by Boildien was
warmly received
"Over the Ocean Spray" was cleverly
sung by quartette of Misses-Sarah
Oyster, May Stangeland, Hattie STUDY
and Belle Spry,
Prof. Reizenstein's violin solo, "The
Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Halls" was
played with fine artistic effect and finish,
deserved richly the persistent enchore,
to which a neat response was PLAYED.
Miss Nellie Simpson accompanied him
on the piano very cleverly.
Tennyson's Bugle Song was effectively
read by Miss Bertha Boyle, the rendition
being pleasiugIy accentuated by Prof
Sutton's cornet obligato.
One of the most charming numbers Of
the evening was the violin and piano
duet-Schubert' ''Serenade"-by Dr.
and Mrs. E. T. Waters.
F. H. E11iott's vocal solo-Pinsuti's
Bedouin Love Song''-was rendered
with such splendid effect that the audi
ence insisted upon repetition Of that
stirring, pretty song.
'The Storm" difficult piano selec-
ton by Won Weber, was played by Miss
Della Johnston very artistical1y and
effectively.
The evenings programme closed with
an overture by Lochner-"The Gypsy
Queen"-in which the orchestra, as
usual, acquitted themselves highly cred
itably.
After a few words by Supt. Valentine
of thanks to the audience for their pres
ence, and to those-who so kindly gave
their assisting talent to aid the orchestra
IN their entertainment, the people were
dismissed
The citizens Of A1cCook have increas-
ing reasons to be proud Of their school
orchestra-which is perhaps the only one
IN America.
Prof. Reizeustein is entitled to much
credit for his work in preparing for the
entertainment.
