The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1897-03-05
SCHUMAN CONCERT

OOHU MAN OUNOEh L
A Musical Treat Such as is
Seldom Heard in Towns
the Size of Logan.
Twelve Handsome Young Lady Musi-
clans Who are Complete Masters
Of the Instruments Upon Which
they Entertain the Music Loving
People of Logan.
Despite the inclement weather
of last Tuesday evening fair sized
crowd of Logan's fashionable and
music loving people braved the ell
ements and attended at the Opera
House what proved to be the finest
entertainment in the musical line
ever given in our city. Many peo-
pie did notgo resting under the de-
luson that the music would prove
to be of such high order that they
would not understand and there
fore would be unable to appreciate
the efforts Of the ladies to please
them. while those who did go were
loud in their praise and Il better
pleased audience never left the
Opera House than the one in at
tendance at the Clara Schuman
musical and concert, and what au-
dience could be anything but well
pleased and enthusiastic when
favored with such enhancing mel
odies as eminated from the instru-
ments in the skillful hands Of these
twelve handsome young ladies.
The Instrumentation of the or
chestra, two first violins, two sec
ond violins, viola, harp, two cor,
nets, flute, clariOnette, trombone,
bass and traps formed melodious
harmony as though descending
from the angels above.
The opening March and Over
ture dispelled doubt which might
have bden on the minds of the au-
dience as to their ability. The
cornet solo by Miss Ola Ru-
dolph was brilliant, and the flute
solo Turtle Dove Polka" by Miss
Florence Beckett, called forth such
hearty encore that she was com
PEELED to respond with an extra.
The description of the Afternoon
at the Races caught the house by
storm and encore after encore were
cheerfully responded to. The vio-
lin solo by Miss Anna Miller was
really beyond our comprehension.
Miss Miller is tall, handsome
young lady of graceful carriage
and her uDassuming manner, style
and intelligent features won the
audience over to her at once. She
has the most perfect wrist move
ment, not exceeding Remeny, who
is reputed TO be the most noted vi
olinist of the present century. The
eighth number on the program,
selection from Sousa's Opera en-
titled "a Passing Show" was rend
cred in manner highly creditable
to themselves as an orchestra.
One of the numbers on the pro-
gram, the harp solo by Miss Alice
Mead, called forth a spontaneous
outburst of well merited applause,
to which she blushingly responded
Miss Mead is a handsome young
lady-and indeed the Clara Schuo
man Ladies Orchestra are as pret-
ty group Of handsome young la.
dies as one could wish to meet-of |
quiet mein and unassuming man.
ners The trap drummer has her
hands full, but nevertheless she is
well able to handle her part. Her
work In the descriptive pieces was
admirably executed and her rapid
and dexterious change from one
instrument to another won for her
a good share Of attention.
The Ohio Democrat wishes TO
compliment Mr.. Chas. Il. Perry,the
gentlemanly manager, in being
able to gather together such
brilliant coterie oJ beauty, modesiy
talent and musical skill as combin-
ed in this ladies orchestra and
when he returns again next season
which he has promised to do, we
will venture to say that the s. r.. o
sign will have to be displayed.
The management of Rempeps
opera House is deserving of espec-
al mention ia bringing this brill
ant array of musical talent to our
'ity and although we know this,
he first venture of it's kind, was
inancral loss, the management
made many friends, and when the
announcement that the Clara Schu
nan Ladies' Orchestra will again
iaif na n uiIl ha fhn un,,,,,, !,
