- as the conductor. About sixty
concerts were given that season. Since that
time the orchestra has Travelled from Canada
TO the Pacific coast. everywhere giving the
greatest satisfaction. We in Omaha had
chance to judge OF the work of Mr.. Rosen-
becker and his men two years ago when
they appeared at the May festival In the
old Coliseum. Every one who heard them
at that time will make a special effort to
hear them again. The programs for the
two concerts are most attractive, and
present a fine list OF soloists, Mrs Wilson,
Mr. Beresford, Mr.. Towne and Mrs. Kirk

comers will no doubt establish their right
TO our consideration. Following is the list

The afternoon audience for the Pitts
burg orchestra was pitfully and disgrace
fully small. To be sure, the matinee was
| on a weekday, but It seems as II in this
/ great city OF nearly 10000 souls there should
at least be 100 whose spirits would be
stirred to attend such a performance. I am
very well aware that Il does little good
| to urge, and downright harm 10 scold u
| loathe TO be ''poked" MYSELF, but it does
| seem such an everlasting pity 10 have the
| manager OF a famous organization put his
! faith in US, and then for US TO quietly and
coldly slip from under'-which is what
We did the afternoon Mr.. Paur played
Perhaps We made up in the evening. 1t
would be too bad TO be crossed from the
| Pittsburg orchestras itinerary next year.
There IS, however. a whole lot OF differ
ence between so and 50 cents. For the
| Chicago orchestra the Auditorium ought TO
be full Let us show our progressive spirit
| and our longing for a broader, cosmopolitan
| life by going. Some day We want an or
| chestra OF our own. To be on an equality
with other cities In their artistic life We
| must eventually have one.
Long years ago, when Omaha was in the
formative period, a young man came here
from Boston to give some Shakespearean
| readings. He had very poor success and
finally went away much depressed. Before
his departure he took occasion TO say To a
friend that Omaha was 50 busy putting
| its hills into its valleys that II had no
time for culture" I FesuTreet this story
