ORATORIO CONCERT

The sale for both the concerts of the fall musical festival of the Wa terbury Oratorio society at The Buckingham next Tuesday has been so gratifyingly large that the society is now assured of large audiences at both the afternoon popular orches- tral concert to be given by Victor Herbert and his orchestra and the evening concert when Gounod's Faust will be sung by the soeiety's chorus with eminent soloists. There are however many seats as yet un- sold though these will according to indications be taken before the day arrives. The sale for Faust has been especially large while the Her bert orchestral concert is sure to attract a large audience owing to the popular nature of the programme Madame Marie Stoddart who is to be the soloist with Mir Herbert and his orchestra is one of the best known of the younger concert sopranos on the American concert stage. Madame Stoddart has sung in many parts of America though she is perhaps best
 
 she has sung with great success in concert and oratorio. Her voice is described by enthu iiastic critics as clear bell-like organ of great purity and color. Madame Stoddart has sung many times in New York city but her experience in New England has been small and she comes to Waterbury for one of her first en~ agreements in this part of the coun- try. Madame Stoddart has sung Marguerite" in Faust many times with great success thus accomplish ing a step on the ladder of ambition which is the coveted goal of every prima donna. Her work in this great role is described as beautiful both vocally and in the great intelligence of its interpretation. Besides ap- bearing as Marguerite" in the even ing Madame Stoddart was the solo ist chosen by Victor Herbert 10 as sist him at the popular orchestral

FULTON BAND DANCE

Fultonss American band will re- sume its successful Saturday even- ing dances and sociables at The Buckingham on Saturday evening after emitting week of the season owing to the Elks' fair. The band will number forty strong this week and a programme of new dance numbers combined with many of the popular numbers of other pro- grammes has been prepared and re- hearsed under the direction of Con-. ductor James M. Fulton. The pro- gramme will contain selections from several new operas, also new march which has not before been heard in Waterbury. Again the barn dance will be a popular feature of the pro gramme. Dancing will commence promptly at S:30 o'clock and will continue through the evening. Con ductor Fulton is arranging series of excellent concert programmes to be given in the near future. The dates of these concerts will be an nounced later. The programmes will resemble those made popular in New York city by Victor Herbert and in Boston by the summer division of the Boston Symphony orchestra. The dance of tomorrow evening will be conducted in the same excellent manner which had marked these af- fairs so far this season, the manage ment still retaining the right to re- fuse entrance to objectionable per sons
