The Unfinished Symphony, which the Or
chestra will play Wednesday night was for
forty-fve years buried and unknown. At
last 1t was brought to light and apprecia-
ton by Sir George Grove in 1867 at the
Crystal Palace in London. Since then 1t
has come to be one of the best loved num-
bers OF our time In reality It is only a
fragment; two movements are complete :
only nine bars of the scherzo have ever
been found. No one knows why Schubert
gave up this work Sir George Grove says
of it, Every time l hear it l am con-
hrmed in the belief that 1t stands quite
apart from all other compositions of Schu-
bert or any other master. 1t must be the
record of some period of unusual atten-
drssement and depression, unusual even
for the susceptible and passionate nature
of Schubert" Perhaps the mood never
came again in which he was capable of
going on with the work. AS 1t was it may
have represented to him all experience,
mental or moral, in its entirety How many
beautiful vistas are unfinished!

At Boyd's theater on March 27 the Savage
English Grand Opero company will give
Puccinis Madame Butter Fly" The
opera is unusually beautiful and effective
both In the music and the setting The
score is one easily untangled. A knowl.
edge of the music before hand adds worlds
to the pleasure absorbed. The story Is
known to most The music alleviates q
little its heart-breaking pitifulness. one
can at least go back to the joy and richnes,
, of the first act. The duet with which Il
closes, is one of the very finest pieces OF
modern writing in the semi-grand operl
field. The climax is tremendous. Poo,
little Butter Fly rises to exalted heights
There she ever afterward remains. How W,
long to shake b. f. Pinkerton and sent
him about his business ana in the enc
would gladly see him ground to powder
, Nothing would be too bad.
