VERY FEW HEAR
FINE CONCERT
Warm Welcome Given Walter
Damrosch by Music
Lovers
BY JOHN w. PHILLIPS

The symphony Society. of New
York, Walter Damrosch, conductor,
with Ethel Leginska, as assisting
artist, gave a concert in Chestnut
Street Auditorium on Saturday aft
ernoon. The small attendance COM
PEELED us to hang our heads in
shame. Various excuses were brought
forth for the lack of support Of
such an important musical event
1t was said Harrisburg is not a
good matinee city," or there is an
important football game" or the
stores do not close at noon, like they
do in some other cities" and "Har-
risburg has already been called on
for so much"
These of course are excuses, not
facts. Such excuses are really apolog-
les for our lack or musical apprecia-
ton. The honest truth is, Harrisburg
did not care to hear this very inter
esting and beautifully performed
program, so it did not go.
The former Choral Society had a
big clientele of supporters. The We'd
nesday Club according to report has
a sustaining membership of six or
seven hundred members. The various
other musical organizatio tions all have
their friends and supporters. In short,
in accordance with our local activi-
ties and pretensions, the Chestnut
street hall should have been filled by
an audience made up from the sup
porters of the above organizations
alone. We need to take inventory.
Altoona produced a fourteen hun
dred- d-dollar-house. Harrisburg fiYe
hundred, so we feel that the musi-
clans who appeared here are justified
if they condemn us as unresponsive
and unappreciative musically.
The program offered by Mr.. Dam
rosch and his men was an ideal pro-
gram for afternoon. 1t was made up
essentially for young people, but con-
tanning genuine pleasure for all. Mr..
Damrosch explained the Goldmark
symphony. "A Rustic Wedding" in n

themes occurring in the five move

happy scene, which could easily be
turned into folk lore and folk song.
Instead of the comedy overture,

took, the orchestra played Molly on
the Shore" by Percy Granger. The
audience did not quite grasp this or
appreciate it.
Molly on the Shore" is the spirit
of happy Ireland; a gathering ma

dancing; with sprinkling of jeal-
ousy and flirting; of wit and laugh
ter, of bright faces and care free
hearts, we might call the compost
ton an Irish reel, heightened out and

number was a Strauss waltz Roses
From the South" only the first
movement suggesting the title.
Appreciative Audience
The audience was vociferous in its
applause of the symphony and of
Ethel Leginska, pianist eXtraordi-
naIy. She played LisZt's Hungarian
FantaSie, and had orchestra accom-
paniment. Nine. Leginska was dress
ed in black velvet, with white collar.
This is. mentioned, because at times
you could almost feel the presence of
Able List himself; the heroic quail
tiles, the strength and technique; the
tremendous emotional power, at
times almost overpowering, all being
present in a remarkable degree. She
is always sure of herself, develops
tremendous power, which can be
subdued at will to a mere whisper of
tone, and, we would rather hear
Ethel Leginska play than any of the
male species that we know of. She
was recalled time after time and
finally responded with Chopin's
Polonaise Militaire. 1t was q concert
that will linger long in the memory,
because of its bright and cheerful
character, and because of the beau
tiful presentation of it. Mr.. Dain-
rosch has the same masterful hand,
only, it seems to us, his conducting
is more expressive, or shall we say,
more eloquent.
Before the beginning of the reg
ular program, the Star Spangled
Banner" was played in stately and
sonorous fashion; the members of
the orchestra standing during the
rendition of the national song. We
do not agree with Dr. Muck, who
claimed that the playing of our ma
tional anthem would mar the beauty
of an orchestra program. This is
practically equal to saying the ma
tional flag would mar the beauty of a
fine building. The flag is to the eye
what the anthem is to the ear, and
by playing the anthem at the begin
ming of a concert-thus SymboliZing
that patriotism comes first-the en-
tire printed program is left complete
in itself, its unity is in no way broken
or even disturbed.
