MUSICAL MENTION.

Victor Johnson and his orchestra at the
Lafayette Square Opera House are playing
at Atlantic City for the summer season and
their work is highly praised.

meetings for the season, was one of the
most successful of the social musical organ
izations during the fall and winter months

work, and under the intelligent leadership
of Mr.. Angelo c. Fronani made good pro-
gress. The programs were ALWAYS we'll Sc.
lected and well Interpreted.
Mr.. II. H. Mills and Miss Lolita Mills will
spend the summer on the New England
coast
Raphael Joseffy will make tour covering
the principal cities of the United States
commencing the early part of November
appearing in recitals only. The programs
selected from his extensive repertoire will
be interesting as well as instructive, as he

will be heard in works which have not been
played by any other pianist before. Mr.. L.
NJ. Ruben of the New York Metropolitan
Opera House, who is arranging the Joseffy
recital tour, states that Joseffy will limit
the number of his appearances to fifty, al
though applications for Joseffy recitals al
ready far exceed that number. He will not
travel further west than Kansas City and
end his tour in New York city the latter
part of April, 1900
