Agitation is rife among musicians

certs being given at this house where
they have always been given. The
rental for this theatre may be too
great for the music committee OF the
orchestra TO meet. and since no other
suitable place in the city is available
the committee Is consequently much

be used for high school purposes. just
what the committee will do in the mat

Some musicians are advocating the
erection Of new theatre and music hall
for Wilmington, since two OF the pres
