fed Approval.

Each year that brings one of the
large musical organizations of the
Twin Cities to New Ulm brings a treau
that is appreciated and enjoyed by
hundreds of the citizens of this music
loving community. With the Sym
phony Orchestra there is never any
question as to whether those who
patronize this class of entertainment
will enjoy it. 1t is always certainty
that the audience will be pleased and
this certainty makes sure that good
house will greet the musicians. Fri
day night brought the St: Paul Sym.
phony Orchestra here for the second
time under the direction of Walter n.
Rothwell. Judging from the comments
heard on all sides, the EVENINGS selec-
tons made a stronger appeal than
usual to the audience altho sore OF
those who have made a study of music
for years would have been pleased to
hear more OF the Beethoven and Wag-
nerlan music.
In general, it may be said that Mr..
sothwell's organization excells in
tineness and delicacy Of shading. the
tone quality produced being most ex-
quisite at all times. There were
moments when the harmony was so
finely blended and SO closely did it
follow the direction of the leader that
1t almost seemed that one could place
the tone just at the tip of his baton, as
tho he alone we're prod ucing the sound
on7a single Instrument. The contrasts
from the brilliant passages in which
the wind instruments were used rs ia
Guard Mount. to the soft whisper
OF the violins in 1.-THE Rain" were
wonderful and showed the versatility
Of the musicians. 1
Madame Luella Chilson Ohrman
as soloist won her way to the hearts
of her audience with her first smile.
She is beautiful woman with o fine
stage pre- sence and her voice is magni-
ticent. She was thoroughly at home
With her listeners and this won their
confidence and admiration at once 50
that they at once expe cted something
out OF the ordinary from her. Nor
were they disappointed. Her voice is
a glorious soprano Of the clearest
and purest quality and her color atura
work was so much beyond anything
that New Ulm is accustomed to that It
was marvellous. Mr. Rothwell also
rose in the liking of his audience for
he seemed to have gained poise and
sureness in his work as director, seemed
to know and secure just what he
wanted. One general criticism was
heard, however, and that was that the
concert was too short and encores were
not responded to freely. The eve
