THEATERS

FINAL CONCERT OF SEASON
Entertainments at Calumet Theater
Yesterday Afternoon and Even
ing Greatly Enjoyed by
Calumet Audiences.

The St Paul symphony orchestra
has gone. but its charm still hangs
over us. Like a single instrument in
the hands of great master, the great
orchestra responded to every thought
and gesture of its conductor, Walter
Henry Rothwell and left nothing to be
desired. Yesterdays program though
different i'm character. were of unusual
attractiveness and on both occasions
large and discriminating audiences
we're present.
With the opening number, last even
ing, Beethoven's symphony No. s. in
81" the audience was captivated. Mr..
Rothwelrs reading was masterful and
the great orchestra was under per- !,
feet control, rendering the softer mel
odies with a delicate charm that won
many friends. 1t is Unnecessary here
TO further comment upon the greatness
of Mr. Rothwell's art. Suffice to say
his conceptions of the compositions he
directed were delightful, and the beau
| ty and splendor of his tone colorings,
his genius and the variety of the pro-
gram duly appreciated by his hear
ers. Grieg's March of Homage from
Sigurd Jorsalfar was rendered i'm a
stirring manner and with a precision
that was wonderful. The serenade
for strings added much to the pleas
ure of the evening and was rendered
with rare skill The rhythmic swing of
the number was almost Irresistible.
The final number, Tschaikowshs
terful manner. Mr.. Atti, the harpist
gave an extra number during the short
intermission, showing wonderful tech
nique and artistic skill.
Mile. Anne Allison Jones, prma
donna contralto, sang Shubert's Aria
from Samson and Delilah in most
captivating manner, her beautiful
sympathetic voice being under perfect
control. and her interpretive ability
showed to excellent advantage. Mile.
Jones sings with such feeling and ex-
preston that she at once becomes a
favorite with her hearers. She graci-
ously responded TO an encore.
Among local music lovers, the great
est interest was centered in the APP

Miss Mildrd Romsdahl of Calumet,
naturally attracted great interest and
her gorgeous voice displayed in Tschai-
kowskrs aria Farewell. We Hills"
from Jean Dare cast an enhancing
spell on the audience. 1t may be said
Miss Romsdahl shared honors with the
orchestra. her applause being greater
than that accorded any other soloist

beauty of tone.
