Big Musical Event Last
Week

The. High Point Orchestra gave a
very delightful musical at the audi
forum Friday night to a rather
small but highly appreciative audi
ence. 1t was a fine program and
gave universal satisfaction. People
have paid $3.50 a seat to listen to
celebrities who did not furnish any
better music than this local organi-
eaton. The program as arranged
covered wide range and each par
tlcular number was good. The edi-
tor thoroughly enjoyed the music
md the singing and feels like the
organization deserves considerable
more support at the hands of cit .
zens OF High Point. They have
gwen their Zine and money to eve Y
patriotic movement and surely they
could not expect less than to be lib
orally patronized at benefit per-
tormance with the admission fee so
small. We hope the High Point Or
eanlzatlon will have another per-
fornance soon and that High Point
ers will take it upon themselves to
see that every seat IS occupied.
Nothing less could be expected and
nothing less should be done for this
very wor by Crs ,nization.
