KeIso School of Music Notes.

The storm last Tuesday interfered with
the recital to have been given by Miss
Nellie Wood. assisted by Miss Crow. On
account OF the various school exercises
next week. has been postponed until
Monday, May 26.
The attendance at Mr.. Petry's second
recital. Wednesday was not large, in con-
sequence of so many other entertain
ments the same evening. The audience
was. however. very enthusiastic. he
received many high compliments. His
tour has been very successful. In every
place he played arrangements were made
for a recital TO be given by him next
fall, which is evidence that his audi
ences were more than pleased. 1.-The
Presto" May 1, contains the following
article: The Presto has on several oc-
casions referred TO the excellent work
accomplished by Walter Petry, the youth
who, under the tuition Of Hugh a. Kelso
Jr., has become a pianist of more than
ordinary qualifications. and the Bach
program given by Mr.. Petry last Friday
night at Handel Han gave added proof
of the truth of this statement" After a
very complimentary resume of the pro-
gram is the following: Mr.. Petry's ad-
vancement while rapid, has been Of the
solidly substantial order which insures
future success; a success which is al
ready assuming material form, as he
has two-weeks' concert tour already
booked for Kansas and oklahoma, his
second concert tour this season
Mr. Petry was assisted in his Bach
program by Miss Verna Springgate, read
er. a pupil Of Miss May Donnally Kelso
Although this is Miss Springgate's first
year OF dramatic work, she evidenced
surprising skill in her Characterization
showing that to natural ability she had
added no ordinary degree OF art by dill
gent study and persistent endeavor. Her
readings were true to life and fun OF
vitality and magnetism. her voice be
ing especially musical and resonant.
The members OF the Senior club are re-
quested to be present at the meeting next
Tuesday evening. One Of the leading
features win be the threeminute discus
sions of the chapter on THE VIII book

SIMMER rHEArER

Litson's Summer Theater will open
Monday evening in the park on West
Eleventh street. Everything possible has
been prepared for the comfort OF the
guests. and they are promised as fine a
vaudeville entertainment as could be
found in any summer theater. Some OF
the best artists in the country have been
procured for the opening bill and those
who attend are assured Of a pleasant
evening.
All of the performers but two have ar
rived, and these viii be in this afternoon.
Their apparatus has been taken to the
park and most OF it is in place. When
the curtain rises tomorrow evening those
who attend will witness as finished a
production as if the theater had been run
ming for months.
Manning and Du Crow. the famous
monopedes, viii head the bill this week.
These men do things that would be con-
sidered wonderful if accomplished by per-
sons with every limb intact. and the
tumbling and kicking of these men is
nothing short of phenomenal
Another big feature OF the opening pro-
duction is Ted McKenna. the dog that
can do almost anything but talk. This
dog is a little spaniel, and viii pay no
attention to anyone but his master. The
dog has been shown in all of the large
cities. both IN this country and In Europe
and has taken numerous prizes for mis-
work His master claims that this dog
can do three thousand tricks; in fact.
everything a human being can do but
talk. and yet the dog makes pretty
good stagger at talking. He has blocks
with letters. words and figures, and by a
combination of these he answers ques-
tons and tells his master what he thinks.
The admission is fifteen cents. but by
combination with the street car COM
pauy the admission viii be twenty cents
with round trip coupon on the car line.

THE ORCHESTRA.


The Chicago Symphony Orchestra
which comes to Wichita June sta is one
Of the few orchestras that can be induced
TO leave their home city on any account.
Wichita never before heard a fine or
ohestra. The little orchestras which have
been here with opera companies are no
more ike a really fine. large organization
/ than a little. measly, dry Rhode Island
watermelon is like one of the large lus-
cious Kansas varieties. one is merely an
imitation OF the other 1t is a well known
fact, that the most perfect musical ex-
cellence IS only as produced by an or
chestra. and al lesser musical effects i'm
itate an orchestra as far as possible. The
finest pipe organs depend upon their or
chestral limitations for their excellence,
and the nearer they approach the imita-
ton of an orchestra, the better the organ
\ band is altogether another matter the
two cannot be compared all. in fact the
nearer band approaches an orchestra
the better it is. but the element Of a great
volumes of sound is the characteristic
clement of band. while that of an or
chestra is excellence and precision of the
music entirely.
The members Of the Chicago Symphony
orchestra are men who have devoted
their lives each to his especial instrument
and a man has not been lost from the or
chestra for a long time, unless a better
one could be obtained
Mr.. Fritz Huffman of this city, who IS
studying in Chicago said when here a
short time aet. that if this orchestra
could be induced to come to Wichita, that
it would be the greatest musical event
that was ever in Kansas. Mr.. Huffman
has one relative in the orchestra. and
he regards it as one Of the few very fine
orchestras in the country.
An orchestral conductor has been so
accustomed TO criticising the very incest
points in music. that few if any of them
will listen to a brass band If he can help
it not because he does not like the music
but the attendant noise violates his fine
and critical ear in one instrument often
drowning out the others. yet a band per-
fectly trained when heard at some dis
lance has a much different effect.
An orchestra is by far the most expen-
sive musical organization that exists.
and this fact prohibits the existence Of a
greater number. band performer may
make a big blatant error without much
effect. but the same error in an orchestra
would utterly ruin the selection so no
ticeable would be the positive shock felt
