the ever.gracious conductor Of tHe
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra re-
marked with intense enthusiasm,
that he always appreciates exceed
ingly the quality Of Omaha musical
audiences. When Miss DeLone con-
graduated him on being the only
great symphony conductor. who di-
rects without the musical score, Me-.
Oberhoffer replied with telling con.
yiction, "It is not so difficult when
we make the music a part Of our
soul" It afforded MissDeLone great
pleasure to renew her acquaintance
with many OF the musicions who be-
fonged to the personnel Of the or
chestra during the six years Of her
pleasant engagementswith this mu-
sical organization"

quantity. It was an imposing array
of instruments which net the eye,
after the men had taken their places,
with what seemed like regular
45latoon of double basses Hanking
the rear. The Minneapolis Sym
-phony orchestra, with its entire body
of, players present, proved to- be a
big. modern orchestra of unlimited
resources.
Only first-class orchestra and a
first-class director could bring to
success a program such as the one
presented Thursday evening, where
50 much was new and unfamiliar.
But the interpretatipe ability of Mr..
Oberhoffer, coupled with the excel.
lent ensemble and responsiveness OF
the orchestra made it all so clear
and interesting that each number
was created with hearty enthusiasm.
One would like to hear the Rach-
maninov Symphony again., in fact,
several times, for there is 3 great
deal one misses in the first hearing of
so large and profound werk. In
fact, the Symphonic Poem," by
Glcrer, and the Afternoon of a
Fawn," by Debussy, are two other
numbers which would undoubtedly
appeal the more with greater famil-
iarity. The Afternoon of Faun"
Mas been played in Omaha before,
but SO many years ago that it was
almost like new number. even to
the regular concert-goes. The audi
ence would have welcomed other ex-
ira numbers. besides the closing en-
core, which brought such a delight
ful solo from Mr.. Guy Woodard. Mr.
Woodard has new violin, of which
he is Justly proud, for its tone is Of
exceptional beauty. His violin is a
Guarnerius, with history like the
pedigree of a royal family. The
visit of the Minneapolis orchestra
was all too short, and it is good
news that two concerts will be giver
