The week Just past leaves In Its wake
the, remembrance of many real pleasures
TO an advancing unsteady interested
community. Four concerts worthy the
name were held in it's confines and each
called forth an audience which was rep
rcsenta.!re of the culture and higher
tendencies OF Wheeling. :
The Orpheus Male Chorus which came
before the pubic for the firsttime Tuesday
evening, made a decidedly favorable i'm
preston with Its own work and thereby
reflected distinct credit on the training
of Professor Henry ArbenZ, Its capable
director. Professor Arbenz has for years
been recognized as a prominent factor In
the musical life of this city and Is to-

pride of any city. tSs

audience as the preceding names, before
his appearance. His work would have

Nordkyn, piano soloist, and accpmpanist
OF the evening. did beautifully through
out. the most laborious work OF the
evening falling to her lot.
The Oratorio Society achieved the 5tri-
umph OF Its career Thursday evening,
not alone in the selection OF Its soloists
but through It's work, which was In the
nature OF a surprise TO even it's warmess
advocates Ii had not been deemed pos
sible that with few months study, a
body OF men and women not for years
previous drilled In ensemble work could
have accomplished so much with
Haydn's Creation To Mr.. Paris r..
Meyers must be given the credit for his
ability to hold the organization stead
