 The Sentinel says among other things
 "Sturming, reverberating applause swept through the Lucerne theatre last even ing as famous artists appeared in the final concert of Orlando's first sprine music festival launched by Mir. Walter Drennen, and declared to have far ex- ceeded the widest dreams for its sue cess. Refusing to take nay the large audience of music lovers insisted upon encores, and with grace and charm Miss Jean Cooper, after singing group oi three songs, responded to an encore, and still again to appease the echoing tribute to her art she graciously, generously rem dered a fifth selection.
 It was with regret that the music lovers departed last evening, yet on everybody's lips were words of praise and 
 virtually unaided, succeeded in bringing to Orlando group of musical artists who placed Orlando upon Americas musical map for all time.'
