MUNICIPAL CONCERTS TO BE STAR
EVENTS OF THE SEASON

EVENTS OF THE SEASON,
The municipal concert to be given
this Sunday evening, July 10th, in the
Ocean Pier ballroom, under the di-
rection Of the well-known conductor.
Walter Pfeiffer, will be one of the high
lights of the season. Every one should
turn out in full force in support OF
one of Wildwood's best attractions and
show their civic pride by filling the
ballroom with a capacity audience
Sunday night. Mr.. Pfeiffer is a favor
lite with the music loving public and
needs no introduction to Wildwood
and Wildwood's summer guests, hav-
ing been the conductor of our Munich
pal Orchestra until the lack of a suit
able auditorium last summer made
daily orchestral concerts Impractical.
The late j. Fithian Tatem, n OF
Wildwood's best friends, an ardent
music lover and who was DESTROYS in
his capacity of chairman of the Music
Committee of giving Wildwood the
best possible music, engaged Mr..
Pfeiffer for his unusual ability as a
conductor and his high m~usicianshlp.
The artistic results achieved proved
Mr.. Tatem's sound judgment.
Mr.. Pfeiffer has prepared a splendid
program for Sunday night and will
present a larger orchestra than for
merly. His power of bringing out
every light and shade, every Duance-
his intuitive understanding of the old
masters and colorful interpretations
of the modern composers make his
conducting a joy to the discriminating
and a pleasure to all. Mr.. Pfeiffer
scored a brilliant success last winter
in the Metropolitan Opera House, con-
Quoting several performances OF CaVa-
lieri Rusticana during the Philadel-
phia season of the San Carlo Opera
Company when he received an ovation
and also warm concentrations in the
public press. The music committee, II
conditions are favorable, hope to give
an operate concert later in the sea-
son., featuring the five stars who sang
the leading roles. Mr.. Pfeiffer has al
ways encouraged other musicians OF
worth, and generously helped them to
get a hearing. During the coming
concert he will lay aside the baton in
the fourth number when a Poem for
Orchestra will be conducted by the
composer, Clarence Cox.
The announcement that Mildred Faas
will sing will prove an irresistible at
traction to all who have heard Miss
Faas before. She stands in the front
rank of Philadelphia sopranos. She
is praised by other singers as well as
by the public for the rare artistry of
her singing. She possesses a voice OF
real beauty and has filled important
engagements with the Philadelphia
Orchestra, at the Bach Festivals and
many other we'll known organi-
She spent last summer in
Europe adding to her repertoire and
coaching with famous teachers.
Richard Forster, tlutist, will add to
the brilliancy of the program as So
The appreciation of good music is
growing. Our bands and orchestras
now equal the best in Europe. Our
American singers are winning laurels
as well as at home. The
American public demands the best and
they are wiling to pay for it. The
committee, though handicapped
by having no municipal auditorium
and by other circumstances, are max
ing strenuous efforts to give Wildwood
good music. Let us show our COM
spirit by filling the Ocean Pier
ballroom with a record breaking au-
dience to hear this splendid municipal
concert. LYDIA ]. MECH.
