New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1912-02-14
PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENTS OF THE.
WEEK

Success. Many Other Good
Things Seen and Heard.
The past week has been crowded
with musical and social events of more
than usual note and there are more to
follow. The Second Regiment Band
Concert, always great event, the OBJ
servauce of Lincoln's Birthday, the
Dickens Social, and various other
Church and Society programs are recent
history and the present week promises
a play at Turner Theatre Sunday night,
"The Servant in the House," a banquet
aud lecture by Pres. Cowling for the
Mems Club of the Congregational
Church, "Hard Time" Club Dance, a
great Masquerade Ball and several
lesser masque balls, besides a program
to be given by the Sunday School Con-
vention of the New Ulm District, and
Valentine Parties, Whist and Euchre
parties, Club gatherings galore and
even wedding or two, one in particu.
lar being vouched for.
First on the list of the past weeks
pleasures comes the Band Concert and
next in importance, or perhaps equally
important, was the program given by
the school children and Hecker Post In
com memoration of Liucoln's birthday.
It was typical, We might almost say
distinctive audience, that greeted the
Second Regiment Band on tho occasion
of their Thirteenth Annual Concert at
Turner Theatre last Sunday evening.
The attendance, too was decided i'm
provement and stood out in marked
contract to the patronage heretofore
accorded them on similar occasions.
The gathering proved very appreciative
and throughout the entire program
every rendition Was followed with
closest attention. 1t VAS manifest that

cipal reason for the claim Of our city
that it 10 music loving community.

lie as natural for the people in oil
quarters and sections Of our state to
expect high efficiency and high attain
ment in musical lines to come from
New Ulm, az it is natural for oil OF us
to expect that the best production OF
the Passion Play should como from
Obersmmergsu. It 10 fortunate, there
fore that, under tho intsnsiRed spirit
of commercialism of tho present age,
where every one seems bent on looking
out for bis own material sell, leaving
the mental, intellectual and spiritual to
dwarf and stunt, there are still enough
devotees to art and sentiment, to spend
time and study in order to worship at
the shrine of the muses.. And it is we'll
for our people to give to our Second
Regiment Band al the moral and
material support and encouragement

the excellent manner in which the band

organization may feel encouraged to

The program for LincolD's Birthday
was too long to be commented on III
detail here. Some Of the numbers
deserve special mention, however, and
tho we may not recall all that we would
like to speak of it is because there was
such a superabundance OF good things
that it would take an extraordinary
memory to keep them all in mind,
The seating capacity OF Turner
Theater was taxed to the utmost and
