THE ATTENDANCE SMALL
A SPLENDID PROGRAMME GIVEN AT
TOMLINsON HALL.
The Concert the Most Enjoyable of
the Series Yet Gfven-More
Music Tonight.

The third concert OF the May reStlNdi
series for the promotion of the Indian
apolis Auditorium was given last evening
in Tomlinson Hall. Like the preceding
concerts the attendance was slim. There
were only about 1000 present, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the programme was by
far the best and most attractive that has
been given. 1t was a Memorial day pro-
gramme from start to finish and the au-
dience thoroughly enjoyed every number.
Not a few people grew very tired Of the
long wait before the concert began, 1t be-
ing S;35 when the indianapolis Military
Band opened the programme by playing
From Fireside to Battlefield a military
fantasia Of a descriptive style. 1t proved a
fitting number for a prelude and the au-
dience became so enthusiastic that the
band was compelled to play THE National
Air as an encore. The second number was
Dixie sung by the children's chorus Of
five hundred voices under the direction of
Mrs. Alice Fleming Evans A large amount
OF credit is due Mrs. Evans for the great
work she has accomplished in a short
space of time. The chorus has only been
rehearsing about four weeks, a fact, now
ever, that is very hard to believe after
HedTlUS ne .lllle lOIS SlIS. htS. EVANS
conducted the band and chorus, welding
the baton with as much grace and intelli-
gence as the average professional direc-
tor. The children, whose ages range from
ten to fifteen years. were unusually at
tentive to their leader, proving that their
training was not in vain. The chorus sang
as a second number a new song, 1.-The
March of the Flag Goes On" 1t is a march
song full of rythn, melody simple. but
pleasing, and the words are patriotic and
wholesome. Quite a pleasant surprise was
furnished by the chorus. AS the children
sang the stirring words of the refrain,
The March of the Flay Goes On they
waved about their heads in high glee
their country's flag. with which each had
been provided. The effect was unique and
soul stirring to the extreme.
The other numbers given by the chorus
were mo Shadows Ycnder,'' by Gaul, in
which number it was assisted by the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church quartet and
Sousa's well-known composition, STARS
and Stripes Forever" into which the chill
dren entered with great spirit and zeal.

trio from Faust" sung by Mrs. Raschig,
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Dochez. This number
was the only poor number on the pro-
gramme. The accomplishments were played
by Mrs. s. Kiser and Mrs. McGibeny, who
both deserve great credit and praise for
their faultless work.
