FINE CONCERT
DY ORCHESTRA

The st. Paul Symphony Orchestra
gave two excellent concerts SaUur-
day. The musicians showed to the
best advantage in the Egyptian Bal
let. a number in four movements by
Iuigini. The different movements in
this number are such as to bring out
nearly every style of playing and
phrasing in orchestral work. Great
versatility was shown in the after
noon concert, the numbers ranging
from the light Pizzicllto Polka to
the heavy overture to William Tell.
Director Walter H. Rothwell took his
tempoes somewhat faster than those
taken by Walter Damrosch, of the
New York Orchestra and Frederick
stock of the Chicago Orchestra This
was especially noticeable in the Am
dantno movement following the
storm scene in the overture to Viii
liam Tell.
The best number at the evening
concert was Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite
No. l. The third and most difficult
number of the suite. Anitra' 5 dance,
was played with unusual smoOthness
and effect
The vocal numbers were also

certs. Each of the lady soloists pos
sess a sv eet voice of great range
