ACADEMY ORCHESTRA s
 HOLDS ANNUAL CONCERT.
Girls GIee Club Assisted in Finely
 Rendered Program.

| A most enjoyable as well as part1c- ularly well rendered concert was given l by the Academy orchestra under the l directorship of Frederick Cranston i Friday. evening in Slater hall. Assist l ing the orchestra. was the Girls Glee club. The hall was filed to its ca pacity by an audience whose proion ged
 applause testified to- their enjoyment | of the entertainment offered.
 The program was extremely we'll chosen. Too much credit can scarcely I be given to the director for the uni form excellence of the performance and l the evidences, of 'painstaking and long practice.tas The work of the orchestra as a whole was smooth and of a volume which was produced without sacrificing the tone. The attacks. always severe test in concert work. were unconscious iy fine and funstrained. While all the parts were well sustained and balanced some of sthe work of the sstringed in etrurnents was unu sually good
 The March of the Flambeaux was inspiring and martial Shubert's Minuet dainty and attractive; while the Ro- nance by Ruloinstein was delightful and beauty.
 In -Suppe.s Overture the orchestra gave its most ambitious piece and played it remarkably we'll. Richard ". Arnold did some fparticuiarly fine work in the clarinet part
 Robert Gale Moves played the Grand Concert Mazurka. by F'Eiml with ex- ceeding briliiancy-s and verve His phrasine4 was clear and decisive and his tone pure. As encores he played Coubie dams by Josef Hoffman of the modern French school and A Song by Mcdowell.
 The trio. Berton Frank Moves. Will liam A. Kicker and Robert Gale Moves gave great enjoyment by their render ing of the dreaTnlike Slumber Song by Eppinger and the -Capriccio from Trio in D minor by Reissiger- For encores they played By the Brook by Bois- deffre and Standchen by Pache. They pay extremely we'll together. each part being particularly well sustained and yet subordinated to the ensemble ef- feet. A~ -rr
 Miss Mary Lester was hear1 in Springtide by Becker, accompanied by the trio. Miss Lester possesses a very fresh and pleasing voice. Her enuncia- tion is clear and she often shows a sur well as a pleasing art of interpreta- tion of the sentiment. Her encore was A Bowl of Roses by Clarke.
 The Girls Glee club gave two charm ing songs, schubert's Sylvia. is an old time favorite only too infrequently heard and the Aria from Samson ct Delilah- is equally lovely. They were sung with expression and were ex- tremely well phrased. For encore they. sang Secrets, Wesleyan sonE
 The second part, of the program wsc entirely orchestral. The typical Strauss Morning Journals with it's pronounced rhymn was most pleasing. Moszkowski's swinging Spanish Dance set all our pulses dancing and the con- cfudins number, the Prelude by Ra ch- maninoh. was a fine piece of orchestra ton, played with force and understand ing.
 The singing of America concluded a highly enjoyable evening
