Never in the history of Dickinson
have we had a chance to enjoy for
any continued length of time the good
music that is now being rendered by
the Lyric Theatre orchestra. AS a
rule the people of the smaller cities
have little opportunity to develope
along musical lines and the young
people grow up without the chance to
hear much good music, so in Mr..
Willis organization he is doing us a
real service. Daily orchestra practice
is conducted to enable them to cover
the wide range of subjects to be
found in their overatures and especial
attention is paid to the old standards
such as, Lustspiel O%verature, "Morn-
ing, Moon and Night" "Sunshine
and Showers" and IN Trovatore" as
well as keeping up to date in the new
musical comedy stuff played in "The
Only Girl" "Chin Chin" adele
and "High Jinks."
