MUSICAL GOSSIP,

AYO doubt as to the complete success
N of the concert of the Scranton
~ symphony Orchestra society at
L the Lyceum on Monday evening
now exists. The rehearsals show
an artistic excellence that is surpris-
ing to one who has not kept pace with
the elevation Of good music in Scran-
! ton since Theodore Hemberger's ar
| rival here. Every member of the or
chestra has seriously tried to acquire
| a conception of the several orchestral
numbers and to adequately express
that conception. This trying is after
all the best that the best musician can
| do.
The officers of the Scranton Sym
Lphony Orchestra society are: j. NJ.
! Robertson, president: Il. II. Weisen-
| flue. vice president: Frank J. O'Hara,
| secretary; Charles Koempel. treasurer;
, j. II. Thomas, corresponding seore-
| tary: George Waters, librarian. and

70 speak at length concerning Evan
! Williams, the evenings soloist, is
merely to heap up words. He has al
! ready achieved his reputation in Scran
ton. Many do not hesitate to declare
| that his is the best voice in America
| today. Certain it is that it charms
| every ear that hears it. The method
/ and the soul power of Evan Williams
are two other things that have made
his fame so wide and substantial. To
hear this gifted man is to receive a
| liberal education in voice culture.
| The evenings programme as finally
decided upon is as follows:
Symphony. No. sin F major. Beethoven
| l. Allegro vivace Z con brio.
II. Allegretto Scherzando.
III. Tempo di Menuetto.
