THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.
Excellent Programme Prepared by
Lieutenant SanteImann.

The second concert of the Washington
Philharmonic Orchestra, of which Lieu
tenant Santelmann, director of the Marine
Band. is the leader. will be given at the
Columbia Theatre on the evening of Sun
day, February 3, and the artistic success
of the first of these concerts has made
the music loving public of Washington all
the more anxious to hear the orchestra
again.
Lieutenant Santelmann has taken ex-
traOrdinary pains to bring his orchestra
to the highest degree of perfection at
tainabe under the conditions with which
he is surrounded, and those who were
present at the first concert are ready to
testify that even then he had achieved
more than the most sanguine had VEN
tured to expect Since then there have
been drills and rehearsals innumerable.
with the result that the compositions to
be presented this time will be given with
a finish little if any short of the best eff
forts of other famous organizations Of
like character.
II is a gratifying fact that the Wash
ington public is approaching Lieutenant
Santelmann's undertaking. There ought
to be no difficulty in city like Washing
ton to give such an orchestra all the sup
port ii needs to accomplish the very best
results. What the Peabody Orchestra is
to Baltimore. the Boston Symphony Or
chestra to Boston. and Victor Herbert's
musical aggregation to Pittsburg. that the
Washington Philharmonic Orchestra can
and should become to the National Capt.
tai. than which no other city in the coun-
try contains IN a more pronounced degree
the elements that go to make up audiences
approaching just such music as LieuteE-
ant Santelmann proposes to furnish
Washington ought to have an orchestra
second to none. and that achievement %
within easy reach II Lieutenant Santel-
mann's efforts are properly seconded.

"LoHENGRIN" WELL SUNG.
Large Audience Praises Metro.
pOiitan Company's Efforts

The best-sized and most appreciative
literally the excellent performance OF
'Lohengrin." given by the Metropolitan
English Opera Company at the National
Theatre last night. The Savage-Grau sing
ers put considerable spirit into their work
and as a result the perfor nance was emf
nently successful, and in many respects
the best Of the engagement.
Even those who possessed only vague
idea as to the value OF the music must
have been moved by the sincerity and
depth of Mr.. Brozels emotional express
sion in the farewell to the swan, the dec
laratiOn Of love. the love duo. the sad
strains when Elsa's folly and disobedlence
compel him to leave her and his geographic
monologue. In his earlier appearances
during the week Mr.. Prozel made a splsn-
did impression, but last night he eclipsed
all of his previous efforts. Miss Strakosch,
who seems to be possessed of almost un-
limited physical endurance, WAS once more
in the cast. and her singing of the role of
Elsa was in every way commendable. She
evidenced considerable dramatic ability,
and appeared to be well grounded in the
traditions OF the part. The music, too.
was better suited to her voice than some
Of the other operas In which she has been
poetry and pathos of the role.
The performance was, as q whole. well
balanced, conscientious and careful al
though it lacked much of the at
mosphere of refinement necessary to de-
rive from the work all of its beauty. To-
hengrin' is one of the very few operas
which are dependent upon this elusive.
but very appreciable quality, and because
the mystic element is so strong. not only
in its action. but in its music, no per-
Torrance is perfect unless it is present.
The chorus again came in for good deal
of praise, while the orchestra under the
energetic direction Of Mr.. Eekhold aehiev
ed much success. Louise Meisslinger as
Ortrude. Mr.. Homer Lind as the herald,
Mr.. Clarence Whitehill as the king, and
Mr.. Winfred Golf as Telramund We're all
generally competent.
At the matinee today. Gilbert and Sulli-
vans The Mikado' will be presented
and the management announces that Miss
Grace Golden will appear as Yum Yum.
Tonight the final performance will consist
of double bill. "TPagliacci." and Cav
elleria Rusticana."
