BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The program that has been arranged for
the Lafayette Square Theater tomorrow af.
ternoon at 4:15 o'clock is one of the most
attractive that has ever been presented by
that estimable organization in this city.
The first number will be Brahms "Academ-
lie Overture" which will be followed by
Haydn's Sym phony in c major, known as
The Bear" and played for the first time
at these concerts; Chabrier's rhapsody for
orchestra, "Espana," also played for the
first time, and Felix Weingartner's arrange
ment for orchestra of Webers dainty COM
position, Invitation to the Dance" which
Will. like the two preceding numbers, have
Its first presentation here. The solotst of
the concert is Joseffy, whose name Is suf-
ficient to cause every music lover in Wash
ington apprehension lest the opportunity of
hearing him should be passed. He Will
play Schumann's concerto for the piano, a
most difficult as well as beautiful work. 1t
will be seen that the program Is well di-
vided between the classic and light" mu-
sic, the Espana" and Invitation to the
Dance" being two splendid waltzes, ar
ranged for orchestra in such manner as
to challenge the criticism of the ultra-class-
ic, who have no desire to hear anything but
the very deepest of work. The Brahms
overture and Haydn symphony fill out this
portion. leaving Joseffy as the central fig
IRE. Reports of Joseffy's work this season
have been f1attering in the extreme, SO
much SO as to inspire the belief that he is
playing better this year than ever before.

DIR. Stafford's lecture on 1.-The Moral Lesson
in Macbeth to be given at the Columbia
Theater Sunday evening next for the ben
eft of the Carroll Institute, will doubtless
attract much attention. The beneficiary of
the lecture is in every way a worthy or
ganiZation, and its members and friends
will do the utmost in their power to make
it success, while the reputation of the
speaker and the interest that his theme
inspires will constitute the remaining part
of the drawing power. DR.. Stafford is well
known in his lectures on Hamlet and on
Macbeth" and while his discourse on the
former is fine, and while he is perhaps bet
ter known on that subject, his lecture on
the lessons to be gained from Macbeth's
career are most sharply drawn and appeal
to every thinker. The sale of seats for the
lecture will begin tomorrow morning at
MetZerott's.
