Some Good Entertainments

Tie Philharmonic Concert at the
Opera House last Thursday evening was
an entertainment Of real value, each
member Of the company being an artist.
They played to thirty dollar house and
ii is to be regretted that the whole COM
munity was not there.
One member Of the company gave a
definition Of rag time music that will
bear some reflection. He said the negro
race while in bondage had given rise to
some songs that have distinct char
acter such as "Swaunee River" and
Nellie Gray but since their emancipa-
tion nothing sad enough or great enough
had happened to give character to mu-
sic and the product called "rag-time'
was credited to the negro because the
Authors, tho white. are ashamed Of their
work, and lay it to the negro.
He said an ignorant but ambitious
lady pupil Of his once defined classical
music as fall kinds OF music that l do
not understand" and that made just
about all Of it classic to her.
1t was probably some Of her set that
went to hear a quartette render some
high class music near Los Angeles few
years ago and occupied the ten rows
nearest the front SO they could study
the rendition at short range. They had
fairly raved over the program for week
before for part Of it was to be rendered
in German.
During the entertainment they APP
plauded, they encored and consulted
their printed programs, but when the
singers finished the list, these classical
wise acres did not know it and had to
be told that the program had been fin
ished. The moral is that if you are ig-
norant Of a subject, grand pretenslons
