 A concert orcht,tra under the aus pices of the Music Study Club, to give Sunday performances at one of the theatres with Mir. Dunkley as conduc- tor, is now talked about There is a scarcity. of first-clssss orchestral ma terial in Birmingham. as there Is in many other cities. The only way an orchestra capable of playing the stand ard symphonies can be assembled here is to import and subsidize such in- struments as French horns, violos. violoncellas (we have one, but, at least, three are needed) and several first and second violins in addition to those we already have. Birmingham is the only city of large size that is without a moving picture house employing a concert orchestra. Something of that kind here would solve the symphony orchestra problem.
 A chamber trio has been organized for the performance of classic works at moderate prices. Mir. Wiegand, violin; MT. Kershaw. cello; Mrs. Torina. pianor make up the ensemble. Men delssehns Trio No. l and Gade's lovely Trio will be played at the first concert
