Aore Friday night of this week, ap.
penring under the auspices ut the
Philharmonic club.
1t is not too much to say That Ard
more has never had more famous
musician to welcome. And real well
come should be given hin, The rea.
son Is twofold. Every effort of the
philharmonic Club TO bring artists to
this city should receive the fun co.
Operation of every citizen, Good music
tends to develop the best In humanity
and upon the success OF ono concert
depends the appearance of other ar
lists.
Another reason is embodied In the
fact that Ardmore is really music
loving city. The majority oc Ardmore
citizens appreciate music. It IS not
only the highly educated person or one
who has studied music who can en-
Joy good music. On the other hand,
every one. whether the complete in
depreciation is understood or not, can
enjoy rythm and beautiful tones just
az all can enjoy beautiful sunset or
painting by an artist, whether one
has studied art or not.
II Ia to be regretted that repre-.
sentative Of group Of artists said of
Ardmore ot one time that this city had
been listed as undesirable" because
artists were not greeted as they should
he. In other words. an Crtist re-
spends 10 the enthusiasm Of crowd
ed house, better than he does to a
mere handful of people. BY her ac
tons in the past Ardmore deserved
that title, but every effort Of the Phil
harmonic club now is directed in eras
ing that word and to place Ardmort
in the foremost rank OF America:
music loving cities when we can bt
assured of having the privilege Of hear
ing six or seven artists a year.
Tickets for the Godowsky concer
are placed at q very nominal sum, anC
special rates are made 10 children o
school age.
The program will be given at Ard
more High School auditorium, begin
ming at o'cloc'.
