Kehearsals are Successful.
This city has more and better talent
than any other city Of its size in the
Union. Ii the public will give its moral
and financial support to the local enter
tainments such affairs would be more
numerous.
In the last few years such organiza-
tions as the Tuesday Club, the Choral
Club, Ferd Fullmer Chorus, Wilmington
Chorus, all well trained organizations,
have given entertainments that were a
credit to the city in every particular, but
were compelled to disband because of
the poor support given them by the pub
lie. Also the Wilmington Opera Club,
which gave several operas that could
only have been equa'ed by professional
talent. 1t is shame that this club was
compelled to disband, as their operas
were full of well trained voices. All OF
the solos were eXcellcAtly given and
their choruses, as well as the acting, was
Of a very high order.
1t is hoped that The Musical Art SO.
ciety, who are now rehearsing for an en-
tertainn ent will be patronized better
than any such society in the past. They
have II well selected talent.
In the instrumental .!.us.c, Grace
Orchestra is one that the people should
be proud of and they are more success
iul than amy other organization in the
city. They have, however, an cNcrp-
tional good organizer in J. Morris Rob-
lnson, who deserves much credit for the
success and good name the orchestra la,
obtained. The Opera House Orchestra
under the leadership of Prof. Compton,
is very good and known to all travel
ing shows as the best orchestra, they
meet on their circuit.
The city is very much in need OF Il well
organized orchestra tor dances, concerts
and private affairs Ii anything Of par
ticular note goes on it seems necessary to
90 out of the city alter the music. George
Albert. violin; Howard $. Truman,
pano;Benjamin Rawnslcy, ,cornct; Henry
Stewart. trombone; August llcmpIc,
clali met; lsadorc Singer, drum, would
make as clever an orchestra as could be
found, but they must, however, lay
aside all petty feelings and work in har-
mony with each other
The city has three bands First Regi-
ment, Of twenty-five pieces, lead by John
Wallsmth; Hyatts, of sixteen pieces,
lead by Frank Hcggs and Smith Post
Band, Of fifteen pieces, lead by Clarence
Moody. First Regiment and llyatt's )
combined could give concert that
would be appreciated by the pcop.e and
credit to both organizations 1t is
hoped hat in a short time they will lay
aside all differences now eXs!sting and
give Il concert.
The first public concert Of the Musical
Art Society, chorus of twenty of the
very best soloiSts this city can afford
with I. Leslie Carpenter ~ musical
director, be held at the New Century
Drawing Room on Thursday evening,
