The Theodore Thomas Orchestra
which will be heard in this city at
the Odeon Friday evening, May 10Th,
has JUST closed the most successful
season in its history in the city OF
Chicago. Large audiences have pre-
vailed and the enthusiasm has been re-
markable. The approval which has
been given to the efforts of Frederick
Stock, the brilliant young conductor
who succeeded Theodore Thomas, has
been without parallel in any organi-
cation of its kind The regular sea-
son of the orchestra the past year was
twenty-fou weeks, two concerts each
week, total of forty-eight. Next
season, owing to the tremendous de-
mand for sittings. the Orchestral Assoc
citation has decided to put the full sea-
son of twenty-eight weeks or fifty-slx
concerts, in Chicago. 1t is believed
that nowhere In the world a season OF
such length is given. AS this twenty
eight weeks will use up the entire
length of time for which the orches-
ira members are under contract, the
May festival trip being extra time, only
those places which can be visited dur
ing May can have the privilege of
hearing this splendid organization,
outside of Chicago. This city may,
therefore, consider itself fortunate in
being one of the favored few for the
season of 1906.
