The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1903-02-28
CONCERT At PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

The Reeves monument fund should be
very generously augmented as a result
of the Sunday evening concert at the
Providence Opera House by the Ameri-
can band, under the direction OF Mr..
Bowen r. Church. 1t is certainly Pc
culiarly appropriate that the present un-
dertakng should be directed by one who
was so long and so closely identified with
Reeves in his life work as vas Mr..
Church. and TO see him leading the band
In concert given for this worthy pur-
pose adds a quality OF sentiment TO the
event. There Is widespread feeling
that a suitable memorial OF Mr.. Reeves
should have been placed In Roger Will
Hams park long ago. and Mr. Churchs
present efforts 10 secure that end should
be correspondingly appreciated and sup
ported. The cause Is one that appeals
strongly to all lovers of music and TO all
public-spirited citizens-perhaps more so
than any other that could he named. and
II is seldom that the public is offered an
opportunity 10 aid a meritorious move
ment in so enjoyable way as by pur-
chasing tickets for such an entertainment
as Mr. Church always arranges.
He has selected a program CT popular
and classical selections upon the lines
that never fail to please popular audi
ence. and the manner in which IL Will be
rendered will readily be appreciated by
all who have attended the concerts given
by the band since Mr.. Church resumed
its leadership. IL is a satisfaction TO
learn that Mr.. Leo zimmerman, the
great trombone soloist from New York,
has again been specially engaged for this
concert and will be heard In a compost
tlon OF his own especially calculated TO
display his wonderful proficiency with
that most difficult instrument
Mr. Joseph Pett!ne will also be heard
i'm a mandolin solo, of which instrument
he is master indeed, and Sig Stephano
Pettine. the Italian baritone. who so
greatly delighted a big audience at the
Imperial last Sunday evening. is certain
TO prove a strong card. Arthur G. Moore
will contribute banjo selections and Herr
Hexter. the French horn player, Will also
be I'm the list OF soloists. his appearance
presenting a decided novelty in ban1 con-
certs. as French horn solos are seldom
heard. The sale OF seats Is gratifynsly
large already and for such a purpose the
theatre should certainly be packed 20
the doors.
