Public Rehearsal at Opera House

Next Sunday evening, at the Au-
gusta Opera House. Augustus own
symphony Orchestra will give the
last public rehearsal of this season.
This is the third years existence of
this organization. and though at
times it has been larger in numbers
than at the present, it has never
enjoyed the energetic co-operton
among its members that it now has.
Some members have dropped out for
different reasons but it does not
dampen the ardor of those who are
privileged to continue. and next Sun
day evening at eight o'clock at the
Augusta Opera House. the orchestra
will undoubtedly prove its value and
real worth to the community, having
prepared a program varied and ar
ranged to appeal to music loving
public.
Attention is again called to the
ruling that no childrcnsundcr 16 years
of age will be allowed in the Opera
House for this rehearsal unless they
arc accompanied by some older per-
son. Those who really love and
want to listen to the numbers rem
dcred. desire it quiet, and the elimi-
nation of unaccompanied children
will tend to this end. Doors open at
IT'S. Itehearsal begins promptly at
s o'clock.
