Augusta Symphony Orchestra Pro-
gram
A welcome addition to the progra m
OF the Red Cross meeting. was the
presence CT the entire Augusta Sym
phony Orchestra, under their able
leader, Ernest Hill. 1t is great
thing for Augusta to have an orches-
ira capable of putting on program
of this character at such short
notice. The pieces were interspersed
with the pictures and were greatly
enjoyed by the audience
The opening number was the "Fox
Trail" by Zamecnik and this spirit
ed march was very pleasing, especial

phone. After the illustrated lecture,
the Fantasia Hungarian" (by To-
banD was played. This number was
perhaps the best liked of the pro-
gram. Following the moving pic
lures, came the Hunt in the Black
Forest" that piece which has made
such hit with the people of this
city. This number was played last
year and was so we'll liked that it
was included in the program of the
first public rehearsal this year. The
program was brought TO a successful
close with the Star Spangled Ban
ner" which was sung by the audi
ence and played by the orchestra.
"A pleasing feature noticeable at
this meeting was the fact that the
orchestra was arranged in three
tiers on the stage. which brought the
musicians into plain view of the
audience and added to the charm of
the music. the pleasure of watching
the able manner in which all the
players handled their instruments.
AS the people were leaving the
theatre. a number who for some rea-
son have not been to the public re-
hearsals which have been given from
time to time, were heard to remark
that they had no idea that the or
chestra bad assumed such a large
size or that they were able to play
this advanced music in so fine a
manner. 1t was the general verdict
that the people Of this city could not
