U HE fourth season of the Orpheus
club was brought to successful
II close last night with a concert
which was the third this winter and
was given, as have been its prede-
cessors, before a full house.
Assisting with the program were Mrs.
Nuncie Sabini Bittman, contralto; Mas
ter Ralph Ginsburg, violinist, and Mrs.
Harry Clifford Lott, accompanies.
|, Young Ginsburg, lad not yet out of
his teens, met with a warm reception
from his many friends in the audience.
He plays with remarkable assurance
and skill, and produces a sustained and
clear tone that promises to be big and
true and sweet. Sarasate's "Zigeuner-
weisen" was given with an ease and
understanding that demanded and held
attention.
Mrs. Bittman received the cordial
welcome that always greets her, and
graciously responded to encores.
Mr.. Dupuy's qualifications as a mu-
steal director are too well established
to need Endorsement, but the excellent
work done by the Orpheus club at this
and previous concerts this year is re-
peated evidence of his ability.
