CONCERT BY
BAKERS BAND
Was Very Pleasing to All of
the Patrons.
HIGH CLASS PROGRAM
Was Rendered In Most Ac-
ceptable Manner.
Liberal Applause ives Given by the
Audience at the Conclusion Of
Zach Number.

"A large and appreciative audience
heard the grand concert rendered by
Bakers band at the opera house last
evening. There was. not q dull mo-
ment IN the entire entertainment and
musical critics pronounced It one OF
the best that has ever been produced
by any organization composed solely
OF local talent.
In every particular the program
showed the marks of the careful ana
capable management OF musical d
rector George w. Baker. This a.
conductor has given Marion musl
cal organization of which she need
not be ashamed anywhere and the
best people of Marion demonstrated
their appreciation of the fact In theii
attendance and liberal applause last
Ievening.
At the rise of the curtain the ban
rendered the great march, Einzug De-
Gladiatoren, from Fuelk Laurendeon
lit was produced with inspiring har.
mony and snappy time. "A selection
from Balf's opera, Bohemian Girl
, from Tabanl was the second number
: of the program. This great selection
containing parts of the noted Mer
Widow waltz, made great hit, and
It was received with applause.
A particular pleasing feature Of the
program was the vocal work of Prof
Frederick Bergman, the accomplish
local baritone. Upon his first appear.
ance he rendered Toreador's song
from Carmen. The effort was ap.
preciated and the audience demanded
an encore which was as pleasingly
rendered.
The band played Pas Des Fleur'
from L.. Delibes Ballett Malta, afte!
, which there was short intermissior
in the program.
Imtarmission was followed by an
overture "Rosamude" from Schubert
by the band. This was perhaps one
OF the most pleasing selections OF the
evening and the effort was liberty
, applauded. A song in two parts
proved a pleasing number by the band
The first. Paraphrase, Dorely from j.
Nesvadba and No. 2, Lullaby, The
Sleeping Beauty. from Tobani, were
both nicely rendered.
Following a selection by Prof
| Frederic w. Bergman, Song Oh
Thanksgiving" from Allitson, tho
band rendered descriptive selection
entitled "A Morning in Noah's Ark.
The first scene opened with the sons
of the locust and cricket after which
the animals raise their mus'ca
voices. In the second scene, harmony
is restored and many are hsleep, bu
the occasional twittering OF birdc
can be heard The selection closet
