Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-04-07

certs to be given by the Music Club or
chestra, at the Grand on Sunday after
noon. The band of players, increased
to 25, revealed surprising gain in pre-
cision and freedom of ensemble. The
program was charming one and many
numbers were redemanded. Mr.. Clark
conducts with dignity and enthusiasm,
and is pre-eminently the person to con-
ceive and carry thru this delightful new
feature of elevated entertainment in
Rocky Ford. Miss Sheldon, in her solo
sang with more than her usual charm
and poise. Her beautifully pure and
flexible soprano should win her laurels
in the concert field. She responded to
an enthusiastic encore with a captivat-
ing little spring song. Mr.. Elser's in
ability to sing was a regret to the
audience. Mr.. Nash in his orchestration
of several numbers showed himself a
most thoro musician.
The response at this concert, both in
attendance and appreciation, must have
been gratifying to Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Elser
and DR.. Stout-the committee in charge
and to the Music Club, under whose
auspices the series is given.
The second program, about month
hence, will be awaited with interest.
