FINE CONCERT BY THE
GEORGETOWN ORCHESTRA
Heard to Splendid Advantage in Three
Notable Selections.

The Georgetown Orchestra. for many
years the foremost permanent musical
organization In the District of Column
bia, performed at the Columbia Theater
yesterday the program of it's ffty-fifth
concert The entertainment was N one
sense a departure. as the orchestra
played In the afternoon: and this fact
interfered somewhat with the complete
success OF the undertaking by prevent
ing the attendance OF many business
men who have long given it loyal sup
port. Otherwise. however. the concert
was distinctly noteworthy
Three orchestral offerings were in
cluded in the program: The overture
to Won Weber's Der Frelschutz:" Rob
ert Yolkmann's symphony in D minor.
op. A. Edward Germans Gypsy Sui. e. -
The first OF these is as familiar as the
overture from William Tell. and is per
haps the more popular on that account.
The second has been played in Wash
ington several times by orchesiras OF
much greater pretensions than the
Georgetown Orchestra. The third was
new to most OF the audience.
All three were exce1lently performed
heard TO such advantage. Strings. reeds
and horns united in its several move
ments with marked harmony and much
force. The symphony was also done
exceilently. especially In its second
movement AS for the Gypsy Suite"
the performance ranked with the hest
orchestral performances heard here this
season. The attack was confident and
strong. The movements were sustained
admirably. The harmony was mos.
pleasing, especially in the second NUN
Der, love duet. In the nuances. light
and shade and crescendo passages the
orchestra excelled. This number was
manifestly the orchestras triumph.
In viewing such results as these II is
we'll 10 note the slender means bv ubtcb
they are produced. The GEORGETOWN or
ehestra Is an organization OF amateurs
Its members are for the most mar. No,
thoroughly trained. Its rehearsals are
less frequent and the attendance less
regular than with orchestras made I'M ~
professional musicians. Yet these dim
cplties have in this instance all been
overcome and plane of musical excel
leRee reached almost as high as that OF
any orchestra which is heard I'm Wash
ington. This achievement is surely
me tribute to the energy and skin of
conductor Kaspar and the earnest sun
port of his associates. The Georeetown
has long been a credit 10 the
community from which ii takes its name
