FINEST MUSIC
Is That to Be Given by Theo-
dore Thomas Orchestra.
NEXT THURSDAY EVENING

born are the SOIOiStS.

When Mr.. o. A. Boyle, local manager
for the concert OF the Theodore Thomas
orchestra, received the copy for the pro-
grams for next Tuesday evening enclosed
with it was the announcement that the
Thomas orchestra program for Wichita
was the best in their book. Every Sc
but musical critics who have heard this
program have pronounced it the best the
orchestra gives. There is a field for or
iginality. in conception in every number
that makes this prigram a most enjoy
able one. Theodore Thomas and his men
have an originality of Interpretation, a
peculiar Temperament that gives them a
power to produce music of infinite beauty.
The program given below is a thor
oughly classical one. Some will say that
if they should attend they could not I'M
derstand the music. They are mistaken.
The Thomas orchestra is noted for CIV
ing program of the most difficult of
classical music in a way that the I'm
cultured ear can appreciate 1t.
Every concert given by the orchestra is
attended by hundreds of persons who
claim they have no ear for the strictly
classical music and go to the concert just
to hear the orchestra and see Theodore
Thomas and expecting that in some en-
core selection will be played that catch
es the popular fancy The Thomas or
chestra has made its reputation as an
Interpretation of classical music not only
e.
position but TO the uncultured ear.
Every not struck by the orchestra is
music; it has the rythm and feeling so
necessary to show the poetic fancy of
tho composer and even the most untutor-
ed cannot fail to feel the poetry of the
song.

Mr.. Bruno Steindal is the cello soloist
with the orchestra. He appeared here
a few months ago with his own COM
pany and for several seasons has de- |
lighted Wichita audiences with his most |
excellent music. The New York Times |
says of him:
Mr.. Steidel has already been heard in |
so many obligatos that his hearers were |
prepared to find in him a cellist OF the |
first rank and their expectations were |
not disappointed. Tone is nine points |
OF a violincellist and there are those who |
are inclined TO hold that il is also the |
tenth. so much more important Is Il IT, a /
cellist to have a good cantabile than TO |
have all other things and 10 lack this. |
Mr.. Steindel's tone Is excellent He IL. /
first of all. a singer upon bis instrument 1
and his technical equipment is complete. /
lie is distinctly a classical player. his /
effectiveness is secured while carefully /
avoiding exagseration. and his playing /
is marked by taste as much as by skill. l
In answer to a hearty recall Mr. Steindel I.
gave without accompaniment his own
arrangement Of Schuberts song. Am
