The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-03-31

The concerts Of the Musical Festival
were the chief of society events during
the past week. The chorus in fun dress,
the audience in demi-toilets and no hats.
the flowers and festival decorations all
contributed to a brilliant effect to the CON
certs.. The concerts were said to be the
best Of the festivals, and with another
years work in the Choral Society the anna
teurs could give concerts of fine grade.
But the people are not ready yet it seems.
for a musical spirit to take hold of them.
ii is coming, but as long as an audience
can't listen to muse without talking the
music don't develop into much. 1t is a
poor compliment to the soloist for the lis
teners to converse in audible tones and this
was done all duEing the concerts and not
by the audience. but by the chorus behind
the footlights. and the joke of the thing
is If there is any joke in such rudeness-
that the takers would enthusiastically ex-
claim Isn't that lovely" 90 isn't that
sweet" Don't you just love her voice?'
and, "oh wish they--or she, or he-would
sing it again." when, as a matter of fact
those precious takers had talked the
whole solo through.
The next social event Of general inter
est will be the opera Chimes Of Nor
mandie' to take place after Easter by
home talent. Many society favorites are
taking part several of the leading singers
and few imported from neighboring cit
les. The rehearsals are absorbing and
have matured sufficiently to promise sue
cess to the opera.
AT present society is resting. During
the past week few private entertainments
were given; few card parties. one or two
blackboard parties and very unique en-
tertainment last Tuesday evening. which
was one of the largest society affairs and
one that was something new in Savannah
and decidedly pleasing innovation in the
way Of entertaining. For this week there
Is not much promise of fun for the gay
world. Impromptu affairs may be sprung
ON the programme later, but as yet the
horizon of quietude is unbroken.
