Mobiles Concert orchestra gave an
entertainment at the opera house before
small audience Wednes day night.
Those who failed to attend missed a
rare musical treat, as ii is the unani-
nous opinion freely expressed by all
present, that Mobiles orchestra is the
best aggregation of musical talent that
has visited this city in many years.
The Instrumentation is good and each
member a soloist of no mean ability
i'll other words they are company of
artists aud cannot fail in pleasing their
listeners The extreme cold weather
and short notice will account for the
small attendance which greeted them
here Should they play a return date
we predict large audience, and we
cheerfully Recommend them as high
class musical entertainers.
