ORCHESTRA PLAYING
PLEASED LARGE AUDIENCE.

Special Programme Given by Music
Club in LawtOn Memorial.
A special programme was given by
the orchestra of the Savannah Music
Club at the concert given in the Law
ton Memorial last night and it was
enjoyed by larger audience than has
been present at any of the other meet
ings of the club this season. The at
tendance was justified not only by the
programme, but the way in which it
was rendered, for the orchestra, under
the direction of Mr.. A. C. Meyer, has
become an organization of which not
only the club, but the city, might we'll
be proud.
1t is we'll balanced, of a size nicely
adapted to the class of music given,
and it showed it's skillful training in
responding to the conductors baton as
one instrument rather than as a col
lection of instruments, as is too often
the case with amateur organizations
AS a matter of fact, the orchestra can
hardly be called one of amateurs for
among it's principal members are a
number of professionals, and to their
excellent work not only in concert, but
in the rehearsals, may be ascribed in
large part the satisfactory condition Of
the organization.
The programme given was:
'Schatz Waltz" (Strauss), orchestra.
Overture, ''Stradella" (Flatow), or
chestra.
"Elizabeth's Prayer" Cwagner)
CTannhauser), Mrs. NJ. Edw. Wilson.
Prelude and Siciliana "Cavalleria
Rusticana GMascagnD; "Intermezzo
Sinfonico' (MascagnD orcheetra.
La Paloma" (Balfour), orchestra.
Arioso, La Mort de Jeanne dArc"
(Bemberg), Mrs ]. j. Gaudry.
American Patrol" (Meacham), Or
chestra.
Though it is against the rules of the
club OF applaud each number of the
orchestra's was encored. The singers
shared with the orchestra the appricia-
ton of the audience, but in their case
this appreciation was not shown in
applause though there was strong ten
dency to do so.
AT the conclusion of the regular pro-
gramme, Mrs. j. V. Merriam of Ashe-
willie, by special invitation of the Mus
ic Committee sang a group of three
songs The singer has a soprano
voice of much purity, wide range and
sympathetic quality. Her selections,
among which were included "Protes-
tation," Norris, and Fiddle and t.
were admirably adapted to display it's
good qualities and were each delight
fully sung. She was applauded after
each number.
