THAYER's CONCERT

The Thayer Orchestra Of Idaho
Falls came down on Tuesday after
noon to give Blackfoot musical treat
and more than satisfied all who heard
them. 1t is to be regretted that they
did not have packed house, instead
of moderately good house.
They were slated for an autom0-
bile concert In the evening, and this
was carried out at about seven o'clock
though It was rather windy for open
air playing. They went through the
principal streets playing sweet music
on such instruments as could be
handled In the autos. and then repair
ed to the Armory where they delight
ed their audience with every number
on the program. There were sixteen
pieces in the orchestra, and notwith-
standing the program said there
would be no encores, Mr.. Thayer had
to come forward repeatedly to bow his
acknowledgements to the clamor.
The cornet solo by G. G. Campbell
and the saxophone solo by 0. p. Thay-
er were especially good, and the
soprano solo by Mrs. Claribel Ridges
Pike was one of the many hits Of the
evening. 1t is hardly fair though to
single out any one thing, for the
whole concert was based on merit.
Our committe on general arrange
ments for the Diamond Jubilee have
been trying for some time to close a
deal to get Thayer's Band for July 3rd
and Thayer's Orchestra for Sunday
the 4th and If certain obstacles can be
be overcome the engagement will be
made. 1t is rather difficult for people
in business to leave their work on
busy days, and go away to furnish
music, and the committee Is ponder
ing now on how to separate all these
from their own business for
two days in the busy season.
Blackfoot Is twice proud Of Thay-
Orchestra, and they are just here q
week from Sunday.
