SPLENDID SUCCESS
AUGUSTA SYMPHONY
Hopes and Plans for Future
Effective Effort Already
Made-Music Lovers Show
Appreciation. .

In one of the Boston Sunday papers
of few weeks ago, Mr.. Emil Mollen-
hauer, the well known conductor Of
the Handel and Hayden Society
said. "A peoples symphony orchestra
is necessity to the city of Boston"
If symphony orchestra is ne
cessity to a city that is as well en-
dowed with music as the city of Bos-
ton how much more is Augusta in
need of something OF the same sort,
and it was with that in mind that
the Augusta Symphony Orchestra
was formed last November 7th in
Union Hall, when about forty in
strumentalists gathered and asso-
ciated to see if il were possible to
push through thing of this kind
with local talent? Surely tho an
swer was given in most satisfac-
tory manner when the orchestra gave
its premier public rehearsal.
Mr.. Ernest Hill, leader of the Co.
lonial Orchestra, has devoted consid-
cradle time to this undertaking, its
inception being largely due to his
effort.
In reply to the Journals inquiry
Mr.. Hill said:
1T is the aim of the orchestra to
promote sociability and good feeling
among the members and the pleasure
of playing a better class Of music
and occasionally presenting the same
to the public.
I'VE wish it to be representative of
the city and surrounding towns and
with that idea in mind all classes,
creeds and nationalities are welcome,
if they play symphonic instrument,
net. Sscessarily web because the or
chestra is more of a musical school
and is organized with that purpose of
giving everybody a chance to belong
if they wish to study and are willing
to sacrifice their Sunday evenings to
rehearsing.
Relative to finances, the members
have been assessing j. themselves
twenty-five cents week to pay for
the hall, but since the City govern

ment was good enough to give US the
use of City Hall, which by the way,
is very much appreciated by the or
chestra, that expense has been re-
moved from our shoulders. Proba-
bly, the laity doesn't realize that one
Of the biggest items of expense is the
music, and that the music that was
used at the first rehearsal cost in the
vicinity of fifty dollars.
Therefore if the players are will
ing to give their time and services
and present it free to the people of
Augusta, would it be asking too
much Of the public to subscribe to
the orchestra as they do in other
cities as Bangor, Boston, etc.
I'VE wish the public to thoroughly
understand that any public perform
ance that may be given is free, no
member is receiving any salary and it
is not q money making scheme. The
orchestra cannot be hired for love or
money. we are not competing with
any others in the profession, but are
Commercialism.
Eventually this thing will grow
where it will have to be recognized
as an essential necessity,-the world
would be pretty poor sort of place
to live in, were there no music to
soften the voice of nature.
I'VE are at the present figuring on
presenting next Fall. a chorus from
an oratorio and should it prove sue
cessful, would probably present the
entire work, but we must let the pub
lie know that it is entirely up to them
whether it is a success or no.
Subscriptions are necessary to
support an organization of this sort
Neither / nor my associate players
have taken a cent for our work and
we expect none. 1t has been art for
arts sake and the faithfulness of
those under me and devotion to their
music which these musicians have
given that the people may have the
good music they so earnestly crave,
has been inspiring. We need back
ing, and as this is a most worthy
cause it should be supported by those
who are able to. 81
"Proverbially, musicians are poor
business people, that is the reason
we have to appeal to Others"
1t is needless to add that those so
fortunate as to hear the first re-
hearsal will wish to assist and those
not present have u pleasant surprise
in store for them.
At its last meeting the orchestra
chose the following committee on
contributions: Bertha NJ. Merrill,
secretary and treasurer, Middle ST.;

LUCY MARSH
COMING THURSDAY

At City hall next Thursday evening
will occur the finest musical event
offered SO far this season. In fact,
it is doubtful if its equal has been
given in Central Maine for several
years, for it is seldom that two such
renowned artists as Lucy Marsh and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are combined for
one concert.
Raymond Ravens ranks as one of
Americas greatest pianists, and Lucy
Marsh, the renowned soprano. will
undoubtedly please better than any of
the famous singers Augusta has been
privileged to hear in recent years.
The career of Miss Marsh is another
demonstration Of what may be ac1
complished by an American girl under
an American teacher. One who listens
to her faultless singing can but feel
qualification that both pupil. and
teacher are native born. She was a
pupil of the late John Walters Hall,
of New York.
Miss Marsh's voice Is a lyric
soprano of exceptional beauty, and its
exquisite purity, smoothness and
fiexibility are delightful to hear. The
singers fawless technique, the abso-
lutte purity of the soprano tones, and
her perfect intonation always give
the keenest delight. She is one Of
Americas principal sopranos.
The press of the world has been
unanimous in praise of Miss Marsh.
The Paris Edition of the New York
Herald says: "a dramatic soprano
voice of great range and singular
sweetness with no limit to it's posi-
biiities." The New York Journal said:
Unqualified praise is due to Miss
Marsh whose voice is of songular
beauty. It is a pure lyric soprano Of
bird-like quality, clear as bell, and
fresh as the songs Of the BIRDS" The
City Item, New Orleans, said: Miss
Marsh was recalled time and again
after the lifting melody of springtime
had fallen in a cascade of silver notes
from her lips"
1t is little wonder that the advace
sale is already very large with every
indication of capacity house for
Thursday night. No mistake can be
made in securing seats carly. Adv.
