The symphony orchestra concert is
particularly commended TO the atten-
ton of music-lOvers. The programme
that has been prepared is a particular
y interesting one. No lover of good
music can afford to miss the concert.
The sOlOistS are TO be Mr.. Shelton. VIC
linist, and Mrs. Luella Ferrin Sharp,
vocalist. The orchestra numbers have
been selected with the greatest care
and with view to pleasing the largest
possible number of patrons.
Il is hoped and believed that the au-
dience Monday night will show a large
increase over the attendance at the
opening concert. That first audience
fell far short of expectations. The or
Chestra promoters, all of VINO are work
ing for pure love of music and not for
any financial returns. have been rely
lRg too much, apparently, on Salt
Lake reputation, as a music center.
Salt Lake is fond of music. There is
no doubt about that But Salt Lake
likes its music as it likes its air-free.
Any time a free programme is given
there is no doubt about the audience.
II is limited only by the capacity Of
the building. This regardless Of the
merit of the attraction. When Salt
Lakers are forced to pay out good
money for music, though they do il as
reluctantly as the small boy with the
aching tooth goes to the dentist.
The enthusiasts who are behind the
orchestra must not be DISCOURAGED
though Let them remember the his
tory Of the Chicago orchestra. the great
leader of which, Theodore Thomas. has
just been called to the other side. For
years the Chicago orchestra from
financial standpoint was a hopeless
failure. Year after year a few men
went deep into their pockets TO make
mp the deficits. But they persevered
housed in magnificent building of its
own.
In the meanwhile will not salt Lakers

That old favorite in salt Lake. J. II.
Stoddart, is coming next week for an
engagement of four performances, be-
ginning Monday night. He is sure of a
warm welcome. And in advance OF his
coming here is a good story he is tell
ing on himself this season:
He tells of a golf game he once
played with a fine Old Scotchman, that
many American players might well
paste in their hats.
It was an eighteen-hOle match and
so serious was the attention to the play
that not word was spoken by either
player or their caddies. as they played
around. Upon reaching the eighteenth
green the match was all even as 10
holes, and each player mad reached the
green in the same number Of strokes.
The balls lay about eight feet from the
cup and Mr.. StOddart's opponent very
carefully made his put and hOled his
ball. Mr. Stoddart. with equal care
aimed his put but failed to hole the
ball by an inch. In his disappointment
at losting the match by such a narrow
margin. Mr.. Stoddart said Tut
this being the only word spoken during
the entire eighteen holes. Whereupon
his opponent booked at him severely
and remarked:
Mon. mon, wun We never cease yer
chatter"
